25 YEARS OF FLYING
Although man’s ambition to navigate the air has in
spired inventive minds to experiments for many centuries
practical aviation by means of heavier-than-air machines
is only 25 years old, dating from December 17, 1903.
On that memorable day Wilbur and Orville Wright,
who were honored on the 17th of this month by a mem
orial which likeness is shown i nthis issue of the Gateway,
succeeded in making their plane rise from the ground by
its own power and remain in the air 12 seconds, flying1
120 feet, with Orville Wright as pilot. Later in the day a
flight lasting 59 seconds was made. These pioneer flights
made at Kitty Hawk, N, C., marked the beginning of
man’s mastery of the air.
For several months only straight flights were made,
but on September 15, 1905, Orville Wright made the first
turn, and five days later succeeded in flying in a circle.
On October 4, 1905, a flight of 33 minutes and 17 seconds
was made, the first time a machine had remained in the
air as long as half an hour. From that time on develop
ments by the Wrights and others was rapid.
From the first hop of 12 seconds to recent endurance
flights of more than 50 hours is a wonderful advance for
the first quarter century of an art which is still in its in
fancy.What another 25 years may develop can only be
left to the imagination. / ;
Don’t blame Congress. The Constitution says it must
meet every December. And that’s about gone.
Politicians hope that Mr. Hoover will not display
war-time food economy only when it comes in distribut
ing the well known pie.
The advertising in the home town paper reflects the
prosperity of the town.

GHOSTLY SISTERS
TERRIFY MANILA
JETER NIGHTFALL
MANILA, Dec., 27, (A>)—Fear of
three black-robed, headless sis
ters, who, superstition says, are
spreading death in Manila and ;
suburbs, has caused thousands ti
Filipinos to mark front doors of
their homes with white crosses.
The story of the headless sis
ters,who are called the Tatlong
Marias, or Three Marys, began to
circulate a few weeks ago. It
spread like wild fire, and today
fully 75 per cent of the homes in
and around Manila are marked
with crosses.
According to those who haye
placed the crosses on their doois,
the sisters are making nightly
calls, and the person who an
swers their knock at the door will
be stricken with a fatal illness.
But, if a white cross is upon the
door the sisters will pass that res
idence by.
