These, meu are sons of the people, bred in a land where all men are equal under the law. Although they might be the most feted and lionised celebrities of the century, it seems natural, when you know them, that they should seek to preserve their identity as simple citizens of their country: that they should refuse to turn aside from their experiments and trials in order to enjoy the fruits of notoriety and a popularity that would be greatly prized by man of lesser build. They' take the successes with the same moderation a4 their failures, and with a reserve that adds distinction to both.

It Government decides not to consider the tender, it will be returned to the tenderer under sealed cover.

THE TWO BROTHERS. There is, and has been from the first, a com bination of deliberation and directness, a fe- finement of caution about the Wrights-and- their methods that stamp them as mes apart. Such men must go forward in any walk of lifel but in this row aclance of aviation they are just the type to win the highest place. Mera clever ness and determination will not carry one fat. What is necessary is a slow and steady mastery of the subject in all its details and this is the secret of Wilbur and Orville Wright's success. Orville has still to make his debut in Europe as a flyer but in resource and datermination he will be found no more lacking than his brother. Their Aying skill is the same, from the first and qatil Wilbur's departure for Europs last year they have taken the helm ́alternately in the thousands of gliding and power plans ak. periments they have undertaken.
