Nzr7 5Ag VIEW SHOWING PROPORTIONS

Boys, if you follow these plans
you can make an aeroplane that
will fly.
The plans were made, especially
for this newspaper, by Israel Lud-
low, an aeroplane enthusiast OF
New York. He has built a num-
Der Of machines, and New York
boys, who followed his instruc-
lions, are now racing their toy
machines, and one of them has
flown an aeroplane like this one
a distance of 112 feet.
First buy bamboo fishpole
Study the plan and cut pieces OF
the proper length. Split the pole
to get proper length. Split the
pole to get pieces a quarter of an
inch wide. This gives very stout
and light rods.
Make three box forms, accord
ing to the scale in the plans. Don't
drill holes in the bamboo, but
bind the ends together with heavy
linen thread, moistened with glue
Cover the tops and ends of these
boxes with a light linen cloth,
tightly stretched. Glue the cloth
to the framework and then paint
the cloth with a mixture which
you obtain by shaving a paraffin
candle into a pint of benzine, al

Dear MISS Grey:
am young girl 16 years of
age, and I am engaged to marry a
young man 20 years of age. On
account of being only Is, and un-
able to secure my parents consent
we intend to run off a day or two
after Christmas and get married.
l know this is foolish. but love
him, and wish you would tell me
where we can get married at this
|age. ANXIOUS.
A: Do you know that you are
asking me to tell you how to break
a law? Would you ask me safe
way to commit murder or burg
larry? The law fixing the age at
which girls amy marry Is found
| ed on wisdom far greater than
yours. If you evade the law. you
are a criminal.
Still worse, if your lover urges
this, he urges you to be a GRIM
inal. At 16 you are not fit to
marry, and the price you will pay
for a brief honeymoon will be a
lifetime of mental and physical
suffering.

A Billiken doll and North
Pole baby had stood close together
in the window of large toy store,
and had become great friends. 1t
was fun to stay there in the win
dow, where they could see all that
went on in the street and watch
the children peeping in at them.
But one night they were all
packed in large baskets and taken
out of the window and put back
and Miss North Pole came out of
the dark basket and found them
selves ide by side again, they
were very happy.
They missed being in the win
dow, but there was much to amuse
them here. They liked to see the
Isalesladies wind up the automo-
biles, the tiny climbing monkeys,
the little tin dancers and fiddlers
for the children's amusement, but
they were glad there was nothing
inside themselves that could be
wound up with key.
One day lady came In and
picked up Billiken. He was sent
off in a little wire basket to be
wrapped up, and was then taken
away. The poor little North Pole
baby was broken hearted when
days went by and Billiken didn't
come back to her.
At last Christmas eve came and
there was such crowd In the
store and everything was being
tossed about. Suddenly the North
Pole baby felt herself seized, then
she was tied up with some other
toys and carried away. A soon
as she was unwrapped he was
stuffed down into a stocking.
The next morning, when she
was taken out by baby hands and
Rugged and kissed. she was glad
to see daylight once more. And
what do you think she saw Just
being pulled out of another stock
ling? Her Billiken! The children
laughed and clapped their hands,
and somebody said, what an aw-
lful grim" but to her 1t was the
sweetest smile on earth.
And, indeed, he was trying to
smile his sweetest, because he was
Iglad to see her. And, living to-.
Igether in the same nursery. the
little friends are happy once more.

Dear Miss Grey:
How can I wash a boys black

which is trimmed with red tars
and anchor? l fear the red will
run into the goods.
e. H. w.
A: Wash it carefully in gaso-
line and hang in the open air to
dry without wringing. If the suit
is badly soiled in spots, rub those
places with good white soap, after
putting into the gasoline, and
souse it up and down until 1t
looks clean. l hardly thing the red
will run, but to be on the safe
side, why not rip off the stars and
anchor before washing, and sew
them on again afterward? Be
caeful about fire when using gas
oline.

The last legislature provided for
an apportionment Of 800 for each
high school grade maintained by a

WILL NOT RE:
OPEN BRIDGE
MATTER
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
BOWLBY SAYS THAT THE WE
NATCHEE BRIDGE MATTER Is
A CLOSED INCIDENT.

There is no plan" said State
Highway Commissioner H. L. Bowlby
to the Daily World, "for reopening
the Wenatchee bridge matter. AS
you know, this matter was handled
prior to my going into Office and
though the matter has been called to
my attention ana I have taken 1t up
with the other members OF the board,
yet they both expressed themselves
to me that as far as they were con-
cerned the matter was a closed Incl
dent and there is Nc intention what
ever of reopening the matter"
Mr.. Bowlby was then asked as to
how it would be possible to secure
the appropriation made by the last
Legislature for the purchase OF the
state bridge and he stated that as
far as he knew there was no way Of
completing the purchase other than
through the action of the courts.
Mr.. Bowlby arrived on the morn
ing boat from the Methow, where he
has been for the purpose OF examin-
ing the progress of the state road in
that section. He expressed himself
as very much pleased with the work
done during the season by the con-
vict labor and said that the work
and the way it was done was better
than could have been done by the
ordinary $3.50 per day labor.
Mr. Bowlby was asked as to the
purpose of the highway commission
regarding the $4,000 appropriation
by the legislature for state road No
10 leading from Wenatchee up the
Columbia river. He stated that it
was the intention of the board just
as soon as the Great Northern out
lined its plans for building along the
river to expend this appropriation
somewhere in the territory for which
the money was appropriated. Mr..
Bowlby intimated that it is possible
that the Chelan bridge would secure
a small portion of the $4,000. In
any event the money will be expend-
ed and will not revert to the state

than anything that has been given

members of the high school for the
benefit of the athletic association.
The association is behind $125 on
this seasons work in football. Plans
are laid that the affair is to be held
next Friday night at the Whitman
school. Arrangements have been
made for a large crowd. The COM
mittees look for more outsiders than
members of the school, The girls
also invite others to help them get
a large supply of boxes. they are anx-
ious to outdo the boys. A candy
booth is planned to be run and If
