All Sorts, Sizes and Prices.

have made some inquiries among max
ers Of model flying machines regarding
this aspect of the aviation problem. AT
Messrs. Damages in High Holborn /
found a department simply filled with
flying machines Of all sizes and prices.
The larger ones covered every available
foot Of the floor space-flyers of lighter
make hung In rows from the ceiling. and
below these invisible wires supported
dozens more.
There is no doubt that the model aero
plane is the greatest thing in toys that
has ever been KNOWN" / was told by
the manager. AT present, besides salts
flying the daily demand, we are preparing
for the rush which we expect next month.
We intend giving up one large floor en-
tirely for the purpose OF constructing a
miniature aerodrome. and there purchas-
ers will be able to obtain an idea of the
way in which the models really can fly.
This model flying ground will be covered
II with netting, and inside 1t models of
aeroplanes known and unknown will be
put through their PAGES.
Il suppose that we have III stock some
thing like f1,OOO worth Of models at pop
ular prices, to say nothing OF larger
and more expensive specimens OF course.
1t Is from the former category that most
models are sold. You can buy q flyer
which will really fly. for a shilling. or
you can have quite a nice miniature
Wright machine OF the latest pattern for
f10. Between these two prices you can
pay almost anything you like. We find.
however. that aeroplanes costing from
Ell to f2 are the most popular.

WOMAN POLICE A SUCCESS.
They Are Needed to Maintain Order
Among Their Sex.

From tie Arkansas Gazette.
The cities of the west are never afraid
of innovations. This is one explanation
OF the existence of police women in
Portland and Seattle The other explana-
ton must be found in the fact that these
cities discovered that police women are
needed in the business of maintaining
order and solving problems of order in
the large cities. The old theory that
men are the criminals and must be polio
ed by men is giving way before the fact
that there do appear from time to time
woman criminals. and especially before
the fact that women can be saved before
crime fixes them permanently as it's pos
session.
In Portland there is woman on the
police force who has done efficient work
in connection with the Young Women's
Christian Observation-Disclosures vital fac
tor in large towns in the ordering of the
city. She had also accomplished much
as probation officer. Having served
her term In these. the woman was ready
when Portland decided that ii required
police woman. She is a regular member
of the department.. with the same recog-
milton shown to men. In Seattle there is
also police woman. although her APP
pointment Is temporary-durinS the
Alaska Yukon exposition. In all prob
ability. however, Seattle will find this
one police woman of such value that she
will be retained.

CRUISING YACHT UNDER WAY.
John B. Henderson, Jr., Having One
Built for His Own Use.

A new hunting cabin cruising yacht.
belonging to John B. Henderson, il. of
this city, will shortly be added to the fleet
of pleasure craft owned in this city.
The yacht is in process of construction
at Stamford, Conn, from designs made
by Whittlesey & Whttlesey. of New
York. Mr.. Henderson is having the craft
built for service in connection with GER
tain scientific work he is doing in the
West Indies. To withstand rough
weather she is being built very strongly,
and is copper riveted throughout. She
is fifty feet long, with a draft of four
and one-half feet.
The lines of the hull show a rather
prominent fare at the bow and slight
tumble home at the stern sections. 1t
has been the intention of the designers
sonably seaworthy and adapted for out
side work. as the boat may make long off
shore cruises.
The cockpit will be self-baiing. and
battens will be provided for matches and
skylights. The interior arrangements pro-
vide liberal-sjze stateroom for the owner
forward. containing two berths and tot
let: a cabin amidships, with two extern
sion transoms, buffet and desk. and the
engine room and galley, which are aft.
The new vessel will be equipped with
four-cylinder ty-five-horsepower
gasoline motor, and her tanks will carry
a supply OF gasoline sufficient for a cruis
ing radius of 800 miles. In addition to
her engine, she will have auxiliary sails
that will give her moderate speed and
take care of her should her engine become
disabled.
1t is thought that the vessel will be
ready for service in December.
