that n single piece Of wood is LA
BILE TO warp, while a number Of

Of the wood that they counteract
one another's tendency to warp,
are free from this objection.
Then there is another thing, which
brings out a fact not generally
known. The two blades must be
perfectly equal in weight and of
the same size and form. But this
equality can not be obtained II
they are made of a single piece,
because no two pieces of wood of
the same size are of exactly equal
density and in a tree the lower
part of the trunk is denser than
the upper part, so that a long
blade cut from II will vary in

Moral Bankruptcy First.
Failures can be traced to def

exception moral bankruptcy pre-
cedes the financial smash.
And while we all fail in GER
tain things every day the man
who fails absolutely is very
rare proposition, with something
peculiarly abnormal IN his con-
stitution. The Law Of Average
will show that most Of our acts

go quietly about their business,
and these are in the vast ma

Now of Wood.
The aerial propeller has passed
through its metal age and gone
back to that of wood. The use of
metal blades, which was wide
spread a few years ago, has been
generally abandoned, because if
they are made thin enough to save
weight they are easily deformed,
and besides they have the bad
property Of vibrating when in
motion
Wooden blades do not have
these disadvantages, and they can
more easily be shaped to the pre-
else curves and proportions which
experience has shown are the best.
The standard wood employed is
walnut. The blade is never cut
out as a single piece. Instead 1t
is built up of several layers. These
are glued together, a special glue
and strong pressure being en-
ploycd i'm the process. After that
they are gradually trimmed down
and brought into shape with
