RULE OF THE ROAD W THE A!R
Formulated at International Meat of

Questions concerning "the right ot

committee in charge' of the recent in

Easy Theoretically tO Tell, but 1 rrauee. formulated rules for the geld-

The nmin rule, which provides that
the fast aeroplane must make way for
the slower, was made practical by
Glenn H. Curtlss. the American repre
sentative; on Auk- 13, when the avia

According to the scientists, it would
lie easy theoretically for an explorer
to ascertain the fact that be had
reached 90 degrees north latitude,
or the north pole. : Practically, how
ever, the determination of the fact is
not without much difficulty. Owing
to the intense cold aud other adverse
meteorological conditions, handling of
the instruments needed for observa
tions Is a matter ot great hardship.

The rules were as follows:
"A fast aeroplane must get out of
the way of a slower one. In avoiding
another aeroplane the pilot must steer
to tfie starboard. Tbe risk of collision
will be decided by the aspect of the
oncoming aeroplane. Unless it is seen
to change its face the pilot must put
his helm over. An aeroplane overtak
ing another machine must be steered
to starboard, but never pass beneath
the other aeroplane. The passing ma
chine must keep at X height above
the machine-that is being passed (X to
be determined later) and will not be
permitted to drop to the level of the
the height of the sun. At tbe same
time he would take the time on hist1

be possesses all' the characteristics of
one many years bis senior and for de
cisiveness and' activity reminds one of
his father. ' ',
Impressed with the responsibility
that; would be thrust upon him sooner
or later, young Harrfman recently , set
about learning railroading. He real
ized that this 'could not be accom
plished by taking a seat in his father's
office, but that he must "begin at the
bottom- and get a technical knowledge
of every branch of tbe. railroad work
ing. Neither did he want any: favors
because he was the son of bis father.
He . simply wanted to learn the In-'
tricacies of the game.- and with sur
. veyors of one of the western railroads
he' started out carrying the chain." For
some time his Identity was unknown.
He was hard at work when his fa
ther's fatal illness summoned him to
Arden. ' -
it Was when the train reached Arden
that young Harriman had his first ex
perience with newspaper men'.-.' It was
a thing that his .father was accus
tomed to for years, but to this young
man it was' something, new. , His
brown- eyes sparkled when asked re
garding his future plans, and he re
plied: "I am not yet a public man and don't
think the public would be interested
in anything that 1 would say." u
His modesty showed a few minutes
later when his sister Carol hugged
him affectionately. He was as em
barrassed as a sweet girl graduate. -Young
