Qreen Street $ 1 MAY MARK SITE OF CHAN'S FIRST FLIGHT Plan to Commemorate Feat of Wright Brothers* Washington.--A bill has been Introduced In congress to provide for the erection of a monument at Kill Devil hill, Kitty Hawk, N. C., to commemorate the first time In history that man flew in a power-driven machine. This was the flight of the Wright brothers on December 17, 1903. The site of the flight, where It Is proposed to erect the monument, is on one of the "banks" of North Carolina, the narrow spits of sand that run along the coast of the state, ten to forty miles off the mainland--naked wastes that seem worlds away from the United States. A bulletin from the Washington (D. C.) headquarters Of the National Geographic society based on a communication from Melville Chater describes this region. A Graveyard *for Ships, "lb motoring across the Hatteras banks from the sound to the ocean front, we had entered the greatest wreck area on the Atlantic coast," says the bulletin. "For 12 hours we passed the skeletons of what had once been ships, now blanched victims of the sea and sand, their upstanding' ribs resembling flies of gravestones, their forests of protruding spikes being the grisly grass of the desertlike expanse. At one point we counted 14 wrecks within 100 yards. "Offshore -lay here a careened schooner, there a crazily tilted steam freighter, the waves' white teeth gnawing at their sides in advance of the northeaster which would fling these great hulks into their last resting place among the sand dunes. "The grim Joke which says that Hatteras' chief Import is wrecks haunted us throughout this 100-mlle graveyard of the Atlantic. "And now our seaward-curving beach route revealed the great apex of the banks, off which are those dreaded quicksands, the Diamond shoal. They are the more to be dreaded because off Hatteras, due to the enormous tonnage of steel hulls Imbedded In the Diamond, there Is a magnetic deviation sometimes amounting to 8 degrees. "Compass correction by swinging ship--that is, laying htr in different directions toward known points--was the skipper's main resource until th* development of the radio and lt*> coastal application by the United 8tates naval communication service. "Man's allies in this warfare against shoals and shrieking gales are Hatteras light, the Diamond Shoal lightship, and the radio compass. Since 1876 the enemy seas have eaten Inland almost two miles toward the flfty-slz-year-oid lighthouse, whose 80,000 candle-power flare is known to passing vessels by Its 48 consecutive flashes, followed by a seven-minute glow. "The farther northward we followed the banks, the more remote and re- •on reel ess seemed the life of the people. Often It was a mere existence, as of castaways who had taken root on this two-mile width of sand bar, 40 miles offshore. "The unchangingness of Hatteras folk Is revealed In their daily usage Of obsolete, often Sixteenth-century words. 'My poke' for hny pocket,' to be 'consentable' Instead of willing, to demand a kiss by saying, 'Come huss meand to speak of one's sweetheart as 'my may,' and of a water dog as a kelpie--all this Is perfectly good Shakespeare. " 'Hit' for 'It,' the Anglo-Saxon neater of *he,' Is as commonly found in rural North Carolina speech as In Queen Elizabeth's letters. "When you hear 'abashed' for 'discredited' and> 'abraded' for 'nauseated,' or when a mother affectionately terms her creeping baby an Insect, you sense a radical vigor of language, and by the time you learn that on Hatteras molasses, like measles, Is a 'them,' you begin to suspect that your early education was neglected. "Beyond Oregon inlet we gained Nags Head, whose name celebrates those palmy days of professional wrecking when a hobbled horse with a lantern on his head was turned loose on the beach at night to lure ships to their doom. "Farther along, towering 100 teet above the surrounding flatness, rose Kill Devil hill, the scene of the Wright brothers' flying experiments In 1900- 1903. A former lighthouse keeper, his wife, and a coast guard are the sole remaining witnesses of those now historic events. "Trust a woman for determining that. If those crazy Wright fellows wanted to waste their time and money, at least some of the material could be salvaged! The lighthouse keeper's wife had sewn the cloth on the first glider, and when the glider of 1902 was abandoned she thrlftly refashioned its covering Into dresses for her children. "On December 17, 1903, the Wrights having built a motor-driven plane at the|r workshop under Kill Devil hill, the unexpected occurred. This Is what the old coast guard told us: " They tossed a coin, and Wilbur won. 'Good luck!' 1 says as he climbed Into the machine. And The Lord only knows!' he says. And then. Just as I was telling myself that something heavier than air couldn't and never would fly, that machine rose up and flew 850 feet!' " SCHOOL ELECTIONS SATURDAY, APRIL 9 No Contests Are On In Either of the School Districts This Spring --Polls Open 1 to 5 McHenry's annual school board election which will take place on Saturday, April 9, bids to be a quiet affair this year, as has been the case for several years.

DO NOT ROLLER SKATE IN PUBLIC STREETS The posters issued this month to the schools of northern Illinois and north ern Indiana by the Chicago Motor Club deal with the danger of spring. The bulletin which will be used by teachers in their talks to the children says: "During the warm weather of February, children appeared on the streets in great numbers. It was too cold for the games of summer, but warm enough to lure children outdoors for every spare minute. In many places one could see children roller skating. Some of these children used the streets Roller skating is an excellent sport but is dangerous sport if the street^ are used instead of the sidewalks. "Early in February the Chicago newspapers reported the case of a boy 12 years of age who had been killed roller skating in the street; during this month a number of boys were killed while playing in the streets. "Act like a sensible person; refuse to take chances. Have character' enough not to follow the example of foolish children. Roller skate on the sidewalks. ^ "Another danger that comea>ywiih Spring is illustrated in the poster this month. The improper use of untbrel^ las has been responsible for^ many serious and fatal accidents, ttke your umbrella as a shield for rain; do noft use it as a blindfold. You should have all your senses on the alert in rainy weather. You should look carefully before crossing a street. The vision of drivers is obscured by rain covered windshields. In addition to this cars skid on wet pavements. You need to be alert in such weather. Do not obscure your vision by carrying an umbrella at an improper angle. "The dictionary says, 'An umbrella is a shade or guard carried in the hand to shelter one from rain or sun.' We should keep the definition of the dictionary in mind; an umbrella should not be carried as a blindfold; it should be carried as a shelter." AMONG THE SICK The Rev. J. J. Hackett, formerly assistant pastor to the late Rev. M. J. McEvoy at St. Patrick's church in this city, but now of Fulton, 111., underwent a successful operation for goitre at a Dixon hospital last Saturday.
