The Curtiaa-Wrigtory ia a beehive of activity, with ordcra for 392 planea of different typer to both the army and the navy. Several typea were teated here recently aa the two military arme accepted them and rent them on to aervict iqiuidrunv;' " One teated was all metal attack a plane which Harry Woodring, secretary of war, aaaerts ia the faatest auch in the world. A visiting army pilot who stood near by when the craft streaked by overhead, said: "That's the fastest attack plane in ;' the world, and there's no kidding about it." Guns Fired Elcrtrk-ally- . The American ship ia a monoplane with a long tapering silvery fuselage. Its wheels retract aa it speeds through the air with its j two Cyclone 1.000 horse power en- ginea at full throttle. It carries two men the pilot in the front cockpit and the observer, or gunner, aft. In the nose are implacements for four electrically fired machine guns. Aa a defense against enemy planea there ia a gunner in the rear cockpit. He has a gun mounted on a turret which he can awing into almost any direction. Thirteen of these fast attack ships are being turned out rapidly to the army air corps. Meanwhile this plant ia turning out an order of 210 single aeater pursuit planea, having just been awarded the contract in the amount of 4.118,550 from the War These pursuit planea department. speed through the air like a bullet. They are powered with double row Pratt & Whitney Wasp engines of 1,050 horse power. Although the speed of these ia a military secret Secretary Woodring admits they fly at 300 miles an hour. It is estimated that they climb at better than 3,000 feet a minute. Flies Nearly Straight Up. Lieut B. S. Kelsey of Wright field was flying one here recently that shot almost straight up into the air until it was out of sight in a few minutes. Lieutenant Kelsey, who is one of the army's crack test pilots, ripped through the clouds and then dove earthward, only to stand the ship on its tail again and zoom up to a low hanging cloud bank. Another plane seen in flight was a new navy scout bomber. It is a single motored biplane for use on the navy's aircraft carriers. It has the conventional arresting gear for short landings on the carrier decks. It has machine guns firing through the propeller arc and carries a load of bombs which can be dropped on a target while in a vertical dive. ht d doors the name of the place they should be seated, for coming they were prepared to remove from Roanoke 50 miles into the main (mainland).

"Therefore at my departure from them Anno 1587. 1 willed them that if they should happen to be distressed in any of those places, they should carve over the letters or name a cross in this form. But we found no sign of distress. "And having well considered of this, we passed toward the place where they were left in sundry houses, but we found the houses taken down and the place very strongly enclosed, with a high palisade of and great trees, with curtains flankers and very fortlike, and me of the chief trees or posts-- at the th right side of the entrance hadfrom bark taken off and five feet the ground in fair capital letters was graven Croatoan,' without any cross or sign of distress. A growth of weeds indicated that two seasons had passed since the departure of the colonists. Sir Walter Raleigh dispatched five rescue expeditions, but none was successful. OUR SECURITY ELECT MYSTERY OF LOST COLONY RECALLED Old Puzzle Is Recalled by Fetes in North Carolina. Manteo, N. C. As a fitting tribute to the first English settlement in this country (on Roanoke island. North Carolina, in the year 1587, under the sponsorship of Sir Walter Raleigh), a series of celebrations was held on the island this summer. The idea is to commemorate the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the colony. On August 17 was observed the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birthday of Virginia Dare, the first child born of English parents in America. Thirty-thre- e years before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth rock, and 20 years before Jamestown was settled, the 100 men, 12 women, and 9 children who formed the first English colony in America settled on Roanoke island. This was in July, 1587. Colony Disappears. On August 27, 1587, Gov. John White, who headed the expedition, bade farewell to his companions and to his granddaughter, Virginia Dare, and sailed to England to supplies. Upon his return four years later, the colony had completely disappeared, the only traces left being a few broken pieces of armor and the word Croatoan" carved on a tree. What happened to Sir Walter Raleigh's lost colony is a mystery which for centuries has baffled historians. and legends Many explanations have risen. Did the colonists Intermarry with the Indians and are their descendants living in North Carolina today? Was the colony exterminated by the Spaniards? Were the settlers massacred by the Indians? No me knows for sure. Governor White himself told the story of his return to the island in 1591. Upon this story are based all accounts of what happened. We returned, he said, "round about the north point of the island until we came to the place where I left our colony. In all this way, we saw in the and the print of the savage's feet of two or three sorts trodden In the night, and as we entered upon the sandy banks, upon a tree, the very brow thereof, were curiously carved these fair Roman letters, C.
