Linen Has Call, However, for

Although 10 tho lay mind tho suC-
gcsfiou that acroplancs should be MT

necessarily eTtrayaGant idea, there arc
certain advantages 10 be gained b.
such an innovation which would war
rant the extra expense. Not that the
latter would be very great The cost
of using silk on modern biplanc
would not increase the expense By
more than so per machine. while il is
estimated that il would reduce the
weight by about twenty pounds. Such
q saving i'm weight. Of course. IS highly
lmportant, and when IL Is mentioned
that from $1,000 TO $1,000 is usually
spent on n biplanc. the item Of cost
seems i'm no way conside rablc.
I'm the opinion Of experts there are
certain objections to using silk for
acroplanc wings. II is pointed out that
