CONSTRUCTS new M0NOPlANE
lakota Mans Machine Touted 40 an
Improvement on All French
Devices.

H. ]. Smith of Lakota has built q
m0noplane which is in design similar
to the Morane monoplane built in
France. 1t is lighter and has less air
resistance than the French machine.
1t Is driven by two-cycle fifty-horse-
power motor of his own construction
and as It weighs only 1856 pounds is the
lightest motor for it's power ever built
In the Northwest.
The forward part of the plane Is
built Of steel tubing with all joints Sc
curely brazed, which not only gives a
light and rigid construction, but also
adds greatly to its appearance as there
are NO cumbersome joints in view
This trimness also adds to the speed
by lessening the air resistance. The
rear part of the frame work is of lam
mated spruce trussed with piano wire.
The forward part of the machine IL
covered with thin wood panels that
protect the driver from the wind and
also lowers the air resistance The
lighting gear cannot be further simpli-
fed, ~ It is composed of only one
moving metal part ON each side of the
machine and q rubber band which
furnishes the spring to absorb the
shock Of landing. The trailing wheel
10 also provided with spring to re-
luce the shock. ,a s
The wings have q sustaining ,surface
Of $50 square feet and are so we'll
trussed that the entire weight of the
machine (4b0 pounds) can be lifted
from their outer ends. Wherever it is
necessary to run the controlling wires
over pulleys or around corners steel
chain 10 used This eliminates danger
Of these essential parts breaking while
the machine is in the air. The lateral
control Is by tips at the ends of the
wings and it is believed this feature in
no way infringes the Wright patent.
The machine is nearly ready. Mr..
Smith expects to keep it in the exhibit
ton business, but will devote little of
his own time to it as he viii take an
active part in perfecting the aeroplane.
In few years, he says, the aeroplane
will be as practical and as generally
used as Is the automobile.

CUFF PLAYS IMPORTANT PART.
Should Be Cut Cut to Conform to
Shape of Arm.

Nowadays the c;Ifis of a blouse are
n small matte, in the general plan
ming of n gdrm, They are lite
things, but in them lies the making
or marring
Nearly all blOuses have yokes and
cuffs of materials different from that
used i'm the body of the blouse. The
reason is not hard to find. This idea
gives opportunity for two or three
guimpes Of different lace or net, in
surfing a pleasing variety and neces-
sary cleanliness. If the guimpe be
not separate, it at least is washable
in any Of the various home cleanSers.
But at any rate the cuffs, or more
properly speaking the subcuffs, are
deserving Of your attention. They are
the parts that bespeak the amateur
or the experienced hand.
First. they should be cut so that
the lire on the outer seam of the
sleeve is a trifle longe" than that on
the inner searl. Cuffs should not he

inner seam - conform 10 the shape

cuff that is prominent in some of the
new models the sides ara slanted ou;,

Most of the cuffs are not attached
directly to the upper sleeve. This is
the place where the Suimpe shows its
importance and convenience. OF the
lawn or bastiste lining it is an easy
task to attach the subcuffs. The lawn
sleeves offer good foundation for the
necessary shields also.

Tiny buttons are effective if used to
define the outer edge of the sleeve,
beginning at the piping and running
under the upper sleeve.
Little hectic bows are another
means of decoration and may be
placed on the outer or inner side
of the sleeve.

WRAPS MADE OF SILK sHAwLs

Any girl whose mother or grand

Hest summer wraps and matinees are
being made from them, and the fact
that the delicate material need not
be cut is apt To make the owner
more willing to transfer it to the
younger member of the family.
As the shawl is large or small. il

best effects Will be gained in the lat

the shawls have fringed edges. but

This may be done with a pin To try
the best proportion. The wrap is then
put on, the pin or tack coming at the
middle of the back of the neck.
1t is then necessary To have an
other tack put at the bottom of the
V formed at the back, and the wrap
is complete. 1t requires no lining, of
course. Ribbons, or a fancy clasp
may be put ON, TO hold it together
