BERLIN. Auk. zv. Man has con
auered the secret of the bird's flight.
The German motorless airplane
contest conducted last week at
Gersfield. in the Rhine valley, cul
minated In a world's record for
gliders yesterday when Pilot Hent
zen, German ex-ace in the world
war, made a sustained flight for two
hours and ten seconds in an ordi
nary engineless monoplane at
height of 1150 meters, or more than
3500 feet, landing six miles from
the starting place. This definitely
establishes a successful motorless
flight and opens hitherto undreamed-of
possibilities for the mas
tery of the air.
The majority of the inventors are
hardly more than boys. The most
successful gliders in the Gersfield
competition, wherein there were a
dozen entrants, were produced by
students of the technical schools at
Hanover and Darmstadt.
Most Aviators During War.
Despite their youth, the majority
served as aviators in the war, ob
taining knowledge of equilibrium
and air currents whereby engineless
flights have been made possible.
Many of the planes entered were
ordinary monoplane types, with a
short wing-spread, light fuselage
and ordinary tail.
The pilot sits on the fuselage
controlling the soaring, flight by
levers and wires. OtHer entries,
however, are fantastic inventions
imitating birds' wings and bodies,
following the graceful, drooping
lines of the hovering seagull, the
soaring eagle, or the downward
swooping hawk.
One Is Weird Caricature,
Pilot Klenlerer, who set last year's
' record of 18 minutes, entered his
latest, which is a weird caricature
of a wilit duck. ,
The flights were started from Was
serkruppe mountain and the Rhine
hills. Some machines were hurtled
through the air, getting a flying
start along -a narrow-gauge trol
ley. Others were projected from a
hilltop where a side slip into an air
pocket might crash the uncontrol
lable frame to destruction.
GLIDER ALOFT TWO HOCKS
German Flier Performs Record
Breaking Flight.
GERSFELD, Germany, Aug. '20.
(By ths Associated Press.) Herr
Hentzen, a student flyer of the Han
over technical school, late Saturday
afternoon, in the glider contests on
the Rhone mountains, established a
glider record by remaining in the
air two hours and ten seconds.
Hentzen used the same single
deck sail plane in which another
student named Maertens previously
had made a flight of 66 minutes. He
reached an altitude of 100 meters
above the summit of the Wasser
kuppe, which is at an elevation of
950 meters, and later mounted to a
height of 200 meters, which he
maintained throughout his uniform
flight, flying with a wind velocity
of from seven to nine miles.
When the wind subsided Hentzen
attempted a straightaway flight in
an effort to capture a special prize
of 100,000 marks. The glide landed
at the same spot where Maertens
c j m J rinwn TTrlilav
A group of Darmstadt students
also competed, but none of them at
tained the records of the Hanover
flyer.
Both groups of competitors used
sail planes, which are not unlike
motor-driven planes. Both types
single-deckers, in which the flyer is
seated in the body of the plane,
which is beneath the deck and
terminated in a steering tail.
Two large fokker double-decker sail
planes arrived on the field today.
Their surface measurements are 2
and 36 square meters.
German sail plane experts are en
thusiastic over the records made by
Heijtzen and Maertens. They de
clare that while the French records
at the Clermont-Ferrand gliding
contests are being calculated in
minutes, the German records are al
ready being computed by hours. The
present German achievements are
cited as splendid vindication of the
ories advanced by Uustav Lilienthal.
pioneer constructor of the motorless
plane.
FURNITURE IS - STOLEN
Phonograph and Sewing Machine
Are Taken by Burglar.
A burglar who entered the home
of G. E. Weller, 1252 East Broadway,
Friday night probably was furnish
ing a home. He got away with an
expensive and bulky cabinet phono
graph, a sewing machine, a lace cen
terpiece, u silk dress and an old
shirt that had many patches.
Although Mr. Weller had several
silk shirts in the same drawer with
the one stolen, the burglar pre
ferred the old-timer with service
stripe patches. Silverware and jew
elry were left untouched.
The Welters did not report the
burglary until Sunday night. En
trance was gained by breaking a
pane of'glass in a rear window, and
an automobile was used to cart
away the loot.
MERIT SYSTEM PREVAILS
Diplomatic Posts Not All Given
for Political Service.
WASHINGTON, D. C. (By the
Associated Press.) Long strides to
ward removing diplomatic posts
from rewards for political service
have been made during President
Harding's administration, according
to a report issued by the committee
on foreign service of the National
Civil Service Reform league.
The report says the first year
"seems to indicate that an earnest
effort has been made to retain the
services of men of experience and
to appoint to diplomatic posts per
sons with qualifications in diplo
macy." The committee reports that five
of the nine ambassadors appointed
by President Harding were men
3
with previous experience in diplo
macy. Six of the 30 ministers now
serving in the diplomatic corps, the
committee found, were appointed on
the basis of their experience and
eight were men appointed during
previous administrations, but were
retained by President Harding.
Four ambassadors, 16 ministers,
two agents and consuls-general and
one minister resident and consul
general appointed by President
Harding, the report says, were per
sons without any previous diplo
matic experience.
"While many of the 23 appoint
ments made of persons without pre
vious diplomatic experience operat
ed as a recognition of political oblir
gations, "the report states, "the evil
of. such appointments is largely
abated by the present administra
tion and contrasts favorably with
the records of the first year of other
administrations. For this record.
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes are ' to be commended.
President Harding is furthermore
deserving of commendation in that
he had selected for secretary of
state a man of the highest qualifi
cations and one devoted to the merit
principle."
The committee reported a still
better showing, "an unequaled rec
ord of adherence to the merit sys
tem," in its examinatioin of appoint
ments in the consular service. There
has been, during the firt 15 months
of the present administration, tne
reported stated, "not a single excep
tion to the rules requiring appoint
ments through examinations in the
consular service."
It Is worthy of special notice, the
report says, that the present ad
ministration, "to a greater extent
than any other," has chosen as as
sistants to the secretary of state
men trained in the foreign service.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20. An inter

of an article by Charles W. Wood
in the issue of Collier's Weekly that
appears August 26 next. It was
only after they had passed a good
part of two days " together that
Wood got Ford's permission to pub
lish the interview.
"Will you run. for president,"
Wood says he asked Ford.. "Would
you accept the nomination if it were
offered to you?" '
"I won't tell you." the manufac
turer replied. Wood comments that
a diplomat would have said he could
not answer. v
"It doesn't mean anything to me,"
Ford added.
"What? The presidency?"
"No, the question."
"He wasn't dodging." writes
Wood. "Henry Ford doesn't have
to dodge political questions, but
your question, if you are to get an
answer, must mean something to
him."
"What about the tariff?" Wood
asked.
"Tariffs are silly."
"What about prohibition?"
"I guess that's here to stay. If it
is, it's in the big plan and it's good."
"What about immigration?"
"We need ten times as many peo
ple here as we have now."

IMS BREAK
CAMP ON SISTERS
One Climbing Party Lost for
. While on Friday.
TRAIL FINALLY IS FOUND
Party Ready to Bivouac for Night
When Route to Main Group
Is Discovered.
BY ROBERT W. OSBORX.
Executive Secretary the City Club.
After two weeks of invigorating
outing spent at Camp Montague on
the west slope of the Three Sisters
nearly all of the 1922 Mazama party
had returned to Portland Sunday
or this morning laden with pictures
of their exploits and proudly dis
playing summit badges.
n?, w hroken at 6:30 Satur-
Aa,. mnmiti; dunnage was packed
and the five-mile hike made to Frog
Camp to meet the, caravan o
for Eugene. Seventy-five people
returned from the mountains yester
day. During the entire outing 87
individuals enjoyed Mazama hospi
tality. The finai official climbs were
made on Friday and the first real
anxiety felt by, the camp for its
hiking expeditions was occasioned
when a group of six, consisting of
Richard W. Montague, Henry J. ma
Ale, Mr. and Mrs. Edward T. Tag
gart, N E. Imhaus and Lee Bene
dict became separated from the
main party climbing tne JYLiaaie
ter and lost their directions in a
dense fog which settled over tne
mountains at 3 o'clock.
Trail Crossed In Darkness.
In descending '"om the Mi,dd,le
Sister they had crossed the trail in
the darkness and fog and had pro
ceeded to the taller timber before
the decision was made to return to
the east. After an hour's tramp the
party had decided to bivouac for the
night, provided that Benedict after
a 15 minutes' scouting could not
find the trail. Just as President
Montague had completed all his
plans for a cozy bivouac shelter by
a big log a shout from Benedict in
dicated that the trail had been
found. Guided by the searching
party camp shelter soon was j
reached.
The second climb of the North
Sister also was made on J? riaay,
making only 10 in all who scaled
this peak during the outing. Those
successful yesterday were John A.
Lee W. K Newell, John Scott. El
mer Maxey and Frank M. Redman.
With the exception of Mr. Newell
the above, together with John Pen
land, John Byers, Robert W. Os
born, Arthur Emerich and Lee Ben
edict received summit badges for
climbing- each of the Three Sisters.
Youngest C,ln,Der Seven.
Successful climbers of the Middle
Sister Friday were: Alfred Par
ker leader; Richard W. Montague,
Jessie Biles. N. E. Imhaus, Paul B.
Powers. Alice C. Hutchinson, Henry
J. Biddle, Arthur J. Emerich, May
Darling, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Taggart,
Annette Weistling, Arthur Piatt,
Tillie Auer, Mae Benedict. Lee Ben
edict, Eyla Walker, Myrtle Bene
dict, Gertrude Stith and Harry Hall.
The youngest mountain climber
in camp was Robert Penland, aged
7. and the oldest X. E. Imhaus, aged
66 years. Each qualified as Ma
zamas. No hikes were undertaken Satur
day. A light rain fell in the morn
ing, but the weather cleared by
afternoon and the dinner in honor
of President Montague, when every
one donned his or her remaining
best clothes, was a great success
Summit badges were awarded in
the evening to those qualifying.
Botanist Is in Party.
The botanist of the party was
Henry J. Biddle of Vancouver.
Wash., who is preparing a special
article for the Mazama annual on
his observations of wild flowers in
a. three-mile radius of Camp Mon
tague. "I have observed a total of about
50 species of wild flowers in the vi
cinity of the Three Sisters," said
Mr. Biddle. "Flowers do not grow
as profusely in this distict as in
the northern Cascades, but some re
markable types were found. I was
surprised to find blooms at an ele
vation of 9800 feet on the Middle
Sister. I have found some ten va
rieties with which I am not famil
iar and will submit them for the
observation of Mr. Gorman in Port
land before making a complete re
port to the Mazamas."
HARBOR WORE PRAISED
HENRY W. HILL IN PORTLAND
ON SPECIAL- MISSION.
St.
Lawrence River Ship Canal
and Power Project Is Op
. posed by Visitor.
Henry W. Hill, member of a spe
cial commission of the state of
New York appointed to oppose the
St. Larence river ship canal and
power project, is visiting this city
for a few days and is acquainting
himself with the shipping terminal
development of the port of Portland.
Mr. Hill has been a prominent fig
ure in New York, devoting himself
to waterway projects in that state,
and assisting materially in h.arbor
improvement and the solution -of
shipping problems.
After a visit to the local harbor
Saturday morning in company of
Joseph N. Teal, local waterway ex
pert, with whom Mr. Hill was for
merly associated at Washington in
the study of the harbor here, he
expressed surprise and praise of the
harbor improvements and terminal
facilities which have been construct
ed to handle the great increase in
shipping business in the last few
years.
Mr. Hill spoke yesterday before
the members forum at the chamber
LQf commerce luncheon upon the St.
Lawrence ship canal and power pro
ject. He is very much interested in
presenting before the shipping in
terests his views in opposition - to
the proposed enterprise.
Tariff Bill Grows Old.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 20.
The house will get the tariff bill
back from the senate tomorrow just
a year and a month after it first
acted upon it. Republican leaders
plan to send it to conference under
a special rule with Representatives
Fordney of Michigan, Green of Iowa
and Longworth of Ohio, republicans,
and Gardner of Texas and Collier
of Mississippi, democrats, as ths
probable house managers.
The conference committee will be
gin this week the task of composing
the 2000 odd differences between the
senate and the house. The question
of American valuation, which the
house approved as the basis of as
sessing ad valorem duties, may be
referred to th house for special
vote, Representative Fordney hav
ing announced that he would hold
out for this plan in conference and
let the house settle the issue.
The general expectation at the
capitol is that the house will recede,
accepting the senate foreign valua
tion plan with the so-called flexible
tariff provisions under which rates
might be raised or lowered by the
president to meet changing eco
nomic conditions.

The crowd grew larger.
A hardware man was asked for
tools to break the concrete ring of
the pipe. A p'ece of the pipe broke
in a ring and the concrete rested
on the mule's hoof.
The blacksmith pulled the shoe
from the hoof, the relief corps pulled
the hoof from the pipe, the black
smith shod the mule, the mule bit

MAN BLINDED BY LIQUOR
Police Hunt for Whisky AVhich
Produced Harsh Effect.
NEW YORK. Stirred by the dis
covery of a man lying on the pave
ment blind, from the effects of in
toxication produced by drinking
liquor, detectives of the Bronx raid
ed a saloon at 401 East Tremont
avenue, arrested the proprietor and
bartender and seized what they
called liquor valued at more than
$700Q.
The proprietor of the saloon. John
Dodt of East One Hundred and
Eighty-seventh street, and the bar
tender. Albert Kresch of East One
Hundred and Seventy-fifth street,
were later arraigned before Magis
trate John E. McGeehan in Mor
risania court, and held for examina
tion June 28 in $2500 bail each on
suspicion of felonious assault and an
additional $500 bail each on a chaTge
of violating the s"tate prohibition
law.
David Sullivan of East One Hun
dred and Seventy-eighth 6treet, was
the man who was found on the pave
ment on Tremont avenue between
Wbster avenue and Park avenue.
Passersby saw him lying there help
less. He was taken to . Fordham
hospital, where the doctors reported,
after an examination, that he, Sulli
van, apparently had been blinded by
drinking wood alcohol.
When word of Sullivan's plight
reached Police Inspector Thomas T.
Ryan he ordered a score of detect
ives sent out to search the Bronx
for any place where Sullivan might
have procured the liquor responsi
ble for his condittion. Lieutenant
Scammell and Detectives Roeder,
Voebel, Burns and Austin were those
who went to Dodt's establishment.
Roeder testified in court that among
the packages of liquor which were
found in the place were six pints
of whisky, five gallons of grain al
cohol, 20 gallons of wine, one five
gallon jug of whisky, 34 quarts, 50
pints and 169 half pints of the same
kind of liquid; two one-gallon jugs
of brandy, one gallon of rum, two
quarts of port wine, three gallons of
applejack, three cases of vermouth,
five half-gallon bottles of gin, one
quart of Jamaica ginger, 18 barrels
of beer, 144 bottles of beer and
numerous two - ounce flasks of
whisky. ' '
Frank Houlihan, attorney for the
two defendants, said he would be
able to prove, when the case came
up for rehearing, that Sullivan got
his drink elsewhere than at Dodt's
saloon.

WHOLE TONN ON JOB
EAST SIDE BLAZES
TO F
Oil -Soaked Papers Found
Flaming in Alley.
SUSPECT MAKES ESCAPE
Police Arrive in Time to Prevent
Flames Spreading Other
Reports Are Similar.
Recent east side fires totaling
nearly $150,000 have been the work
of a firebug, in the opinion of po
lice, who formed that theory last
night after two of their number,
having gone to 554 East Burnside
street to investigate a suspicious
character loitering in an alley,
found the buildings afire and their
man gone.
Their theory was strengthened by
the fact that Charles Kreger, night
man at the Hawthorne stables, which
burned on August 7, told of smell
ing kerosene smoke as he ran from
the burning building, although the
ruin was so complete that the fire
marshal could find no evidence to
corroborate Kreger's statement.
Man Is Seen In Alley.
Sunday n'ght H. J. Murphy, who
lives at 549 Ankeny street, observed
a man in the alley near the filling
statjon and battery shop at 554
East Burnside. . He called police,
telling them that the fellow was be
having peculiarly and that he car
ried a bundle of some sort.
A quick run by Motorcycle Pa
trolmen Finn and Ripley was ended
by a dash into the alley. They
found no one, but between two
frame buildings that set close to
gether they found a bundle of pa
pers, soaked In kerosene, burning.
They called the fire department and
the blaze was extinguished before
any damage was done.
Man Takes to Flight.
Murphy told the officers that be
fore their arrival the suspicious-appearing
man had run away. The
blaze had not gained enough head
way for him to see it, and had not
the policemen discovered it both
structures must have been severely
damaged.
The two kerosene incidents have
convinced officers that some, at
least, of the East side fires have not
been accidental. Four of them have
been frame buildings which burned
like tinder.
The fire that destroyed the Haw
thorne stables also destroyed other
buildings and damaged the Wayside
garage, in the block bounded by
Sixth , and Seventh streets, Clay
street and Hawthorne avenue.
Firebug; Again Blamed.
Police blame a firebug for- the
blaze that on June 6 damaged the
stables of James Lyons, 222 Union
avenue, in which a number of horses
lost their lives. There was no indi
cation of incendiarism at the time
however, although it was reported
a suspicious character had. been
seen loitering in the vicinity.
On May 25 frame buildings were
damaged to the extent of $25,000 at
East Water and East Morrison
streets, and there was a second fire
in the same vicinity two months
later.
The fire at the Webster garage
that resulted in $50,000 loss and the
destruction or damaging of 33 auto
mobiles on August 18 is believed to
be the work of the man who at
tempted to set the buildings afire
last nierht.
AH of the fires were discovered"
after midnight.
FLAG SMUT IS SPREADING
Western Farmers Urged to Plant
Wheat Immune to Parasite.
WASHINGTON, D. C. (By the As
sociated Press.) Farmers in the
mid-western wheat fields where the
spread of flag smut among the
crops is causing increased loss in
the harvest, are urged by experts of
the agriculture department to plant
varieties next fall which are im
mune to the parasite or more highly
resistant. The region adjacent to
St. Louis in Illinois and Missouri has
been found to contain an area of
bout 799 square miles in which
spores are spreading rapidly, where,
1921, only 72 square miles were
infected. The department experts
believe that attempts at eradication
are likely to tan ana tnat cnange
in planting is the only means of
checking the spread.
The damage wrought by the smut
amounts to a large figure In Aus
tralia, where conditions are similar
to thosa in some parts of this coun
try, fields sometimes show losses as
high as 20 per cent, it is said, and
the infection is, in general, like that
of bunt or stinking smut in our
own wheat-growing regions. In the
two states where this smut haa been
found parts of fields nave shown
losses as high as 20 per cent, but
it is doubtful if field. losses there
have ever been as much as 5 per
cent of the crop.
A number of varieties of wheat
grown in this area have been found
not to take the disease at all or to
be highly resistant to it. Of the
soft winter wheats, Red Rock, Ston

Investigations indicate the prob
ability that the spores of the disease
are carried by the wind from field
to field, a department circular de

doubtful if any quarantine measures
can be effective in preventing its

varieties is the lease expensive and

PRESS HAS FREEDOM
Newspapers in Mexico Enjoying
Unprecedented Liberty.
MEXICO CITY. Freedom of the
press in Mexico is as near a reality
now as has been recorded during
the past half century, according to
competent observers. Contrasted with
the censorship days of Huerta and
Carranza, editors and correspondents
are enjoying almost unprecedented
liberty, and President Obregon on
several occasions has emphasized
that newspapers and other publica
tions are free to go as far as they
like.
The newspapers Omega and Las
Noticias, the former a weekly and
the latter a daily, lead the opposition
to the administration and the vin
dictiveness which they display in
almost every issue would not have
been tolerated for more than one
day during the Carranza regime, for
instance. The more substantial news
papers of the capital spare no ink
now in telling the reading public
wherein they think the Obregon
regime is at fault and even rank
misquotations of conversations with
the chief executive are allowed to
pass with only a mild protest.
Foreign correspondents are told

President Obregon in one respect
offers sharp contrast to his prede
