Now We Will Build Model Of the Swiftest i
and Smallest Monoplane That Ever Flew

with the main frame.
Wire this tube on so 1t won't
work loose.
From the side sticks (m) of the
tail wire (H), bent in half Cir
Gle, runs, fastened to the frame by
tightly wound thread.
Another wire (W-Fig. II runs
from the frame below and is tied
to the lower end of the vertical
tail piece and runs on down to
form rear skid. BY sliding the
vertical piece on this wire (W)
where 1t is tied, the tail may be
set in any position up and down
and will stay there. The rubber
will keep the tail from twisting.
This machine will probably fly
faster than any you have made so
far. Fly 1t in the same way you
flied the others, and exercise the
same patience at first until ii
strikes it's balance and flies
smoothly.
So far you have built only
monoplanes, yet you know that
some wonderful things are being
done just now by the biplanes. In
the next and concluded article I
am going to tell you how to make
a biplane.

A cable from England brings
the information that a British
parliament committee decided that
George v. needs $4,000 a year
more for his family than did his
illustrious late royal father,
making a total yearly allowance
for the maintenance of the royal
family of s3,170,000.
The average American laborer
earns 81 day or $12 a week.
With this he supports his family
and taking the United States
census figures-of five members.
A little sum in arithmetic
shows that $3,170,00O divided by
1924 brings a result of $3.50, in
dicating that the work of $3.50
laborers produces the salary of
one king.
The multiple of five shows
rs, 400 wives and boys and girls
in the families of the $3.50 Ia
borers, again indicating that the
salary of the king Of England for
one year would support for the
same length of time a city of Ia
borers with total population of

SHALL PARTY PLATFORMS Be
MERE LIES? NOT IN COLORADO

DENVER, Aug. 10.-Under the
theory that the platform of sue
cessful party becomes a binding
contract with the people, Gov.
John Shafroth convened the legis-
iature In special session and de-
manded that they enact their
party pledges into law.
The governor and a majority of
the members of the Legislature are
democrats. The platform on which
they were elected is radical"
The money spent for the cam
paign came mainly from the con-
sentative Chas. ]. Hughes, jr.,
who, as soon as he had safely don
ned the senatorial toga, lost in
terest in the platform of his party,
any only a month ago returned
from Washington, denouncing the
majority of its planks as social
istic."
In the regular session the demo-
Gratis divided into two wings The
adherents of Shafroth demanded
that every pledge be carried out.
The followers of Hughes refused
to vote for any measures which
Shafroth insisted were a substan-
tial fulfillment of the pledges.
The call of the governor de-
mands that there be passed:
A direct primary law.
A constitutional amendment for
the initiative and referendum.
A public service commission law
patterned after the New York law.
A bank guarantee law.
An amendment to the railway
commission law giving that body
power TO fix rates.
The "headless ballot" law, re-
moving party names from the Of
ficial ballot.
All of these measures were spe-
officially promised I'm the platform

Valentine His SuCCessOr-Man.
ager Chapman Announces
List of Officials.

a. ENERAL changes have been made
in the list of officials who will be
seen at the Newark Velodrome
track this season, as announced by
Manager John Chapman today. Prob
ably the most important change, which
will no doubt be welcomed by the local
bike followers, is the appointment OF
John Valentine, IS referee in place of
Richard +. Kelsey, who gave general
dissatisfaction throughout last sea-
son. The only other change is in the
list OF judges, which will be increased
by one. Samuel Walthour being the
new appointee.
Throughout the bicycle world Mr..
Valentine is known to be a strict dis
ciplinarian, and insists pom all rules
being lived up to. All the riders fear
and respect him, and know positively
that when he says a thing he means
it. Once or twice last season he acted
as referee at the Velodrome in place
of Referee Kelsey, who was out or
town, and the riders were warned that
10 funny work would be tolerated.
Mr.. Valentine has acted in the capac-
ity of assistant referee for a number
of years in the siX-day bicycle race in
New York and has always given gen.
eral satisfaction. Mr.. Walthour is a
brother of Bobby Walthour, the
famous pace follower. SAMMY as
he is known. has followed the game
for years, and Manager Chapman made
no mistake in selecting him as an OIL
cial.

TRAVERS IN GOOD FORM AT MONTCLAIR

per Montclair, and, while the place is
built up almost to their very clubhouse
door, no inclination has been shown up-
on the part of the owners of their
leased property, nearest to the village.
to TAX it away from them for building
purposes. 1t is a well-known fact that
this small portion of leased prop
erty is far more valuable for build
ing purposes than the hundred acres or
more owned by the club. The club does
not expect to lose it's leased property,
but, in the meantime, ample provision
will be made for the future welfare of
the club. They calculate hat it will
take fully two or three years to get the
nine new holes in frst-class condition.
In the fall the club contemplates break
ing ground for a new clubhouse. which
will cost not less than $4,000. and pos
sibly considerable more. The site Sc
lected for the structure is on the top of
the highest hill on this property, where
there is a commanding view of the sur
rounding country.
Although still playing on the tenn
porary winter green's at the Essex
County Country Club, the course, which
lies on the east slope of the Orange
mountains, is drying out nicely since
the frost has come out of the earth, and
the ground is beginning to settle. so
that a heavy roller can be brought into
use to prepare the course for the sea-
sons play.
Many new traps were put in last fall
after the active season a closed. and
they were new to a number of the
members who were inveigled to the
course for the first time this year by
the summer-like weather of the past
few days. The various committees
were only appointed at a recent meet
ing and the warm spell has come on
them before they have had a chance
to get together and discuss their plans
for the season. The annual champion
ship tournament of the New Jersey
State Golf Association will be held over
this course June 2, 3 and 4, and it is
perfectly natural for the club to bend
every energy to get 1t in the best pos
sible condition for that occasion. The
first championship meeting the asso-
citation ever held vas yer this course,
when it was not to be compared with
the sporty course the club will present
this year of about six thousand yards.
The members of the North Jersey
Country Club are eagerly awaiting the
opening of the season, which will &C.
cur at that club about the middle of
April. The favorable weather of the
past few days brought Out a large
weekend attendance, and as the course
is in fine condition they reveled in the
sport, even though they are still using
the temporary winter green's. Many
prizes are to be competed for and a
very active season is expected. The
dates for the various events have not
yet been decided upon as the chair
man of the tournament committee is
now down at Pinehurst. n. c., and
will not return until next week, as he
will be one of the competitors for the
united north and south championships
this week. Both the fair green's and
putting greens are to be literally
