line through the middle of the top
panel q, M. N, Figure IL The two
end Sits are one-quarter of an inch
from the ends of the panel, and the
middle slit is exactly in the center
of the panel. Each slit is half an inch
long.
When Polly cut the balloon out
along the heavy lines it was like Fig
ure 2. The side points of the catches
seemed too long. so she shipped them
OF and made them blunt. as in Fig
ure 2.
BY this time Donald, who had been
experimenting with Po1ly's first pat
tern, had designed the wings (Figure
81, and the tail Figure 81. He di-
rected Polly to cut Sits for the wings
in the position shown in PO, OPP, Fig
ure 2. The Sits P are exactly in the
middle of the edge between the first
and second panels at the top and the
first and second panels at the bottom

before the bend-over is added. In or
der to make the bend-overs exactly
alike and all of a size, Polly drew an
other line through each row of end
panels from top to bottom, which di-
vided them through the middle, as
shown in the lower left-hand panels
of Figure L. To make the bend-overs
on the top panels the width Of the
others it was necessary to extend these
middle lines one-quarter of an inch
above the top lines of the panels.
From this middle line, one-eighth Of
an inch above the top line of the panel,
Polly drew slanting line to the tip
of the point, then she drew correspond
ing lines from the middle lines to the
tips of all the points, but started each
of these other lines from the place
where the middle line crosses the low
er edge of the point just above.
These are the bend-overs," she said,
as she drew the last line.
Where are you going to make your
catches?' Donald inquired.
Right here" Polly replied, laying
her ruler across the side point of a
bend-over one-eighth Of an inch from
the tip and drawing two short lines
with a space between one-quarter OF
an inch long for the neck to catch, as

which brought the catch on the out
side. The other end of the balloon she
put together in the same way, and it
looked like Figure 4.
This is the TAIL" Donald said
holding up piece of paper cut like
Figure 5. The tail is four and one
half inches long, two and one-quarter
inches wide at the end and five-eighths
Of an inch wide where it joins the
body. Donald cut a slit half an inch
long in the middle of the narrow end
and then cut out a small, wedge
shaped piece at the end of the slit. The
wedge is 1ve-eighths of an inch
long and a trife over one-quarter of
an inch at the base.
What is that pointed hole for?"
said Polly.
1.-THE end Of the balloon fits in that
when these two square catches q, r,
Figure 81 are put through the Sits you
made for the tail" Donald answered.
20, r, Figure % Polly looked for the
Sits and found that one was on the
top edge and one on the bottom edge
Of the back end Of the balloon.

shown on the bend-Overs at the right

shown on the bend-overs at the right
Of Figure 1.
The first rough pattern showed Polly
that the Sits for the catches should
start at the middle line and run par
allel with the lower edge Of the points
e., Figure y, so it was here Polly
made them. The Sits are little over
one-quarter Of an inch long and are
exactly in the center Of the points.
HThe top bend-overs must be little
different from the Others" Polly ex-
planned, because the catches are to
come through on the outside, while
the catches on all the other bend-overs
will fasten on the inside. You see, l
have to give the top catches long
necks and slant them upward"
The dotted lines from 2 to q show
where Polly placed her ruler to give
the proper slant to the neck Of the top
catches, and the two Sits and X, on
the lower point. show where the top
catch is to be fastened. The neck Of
the top catch is one-Quarter Of an inch
wide and one-eighth Of an inch long,
and the Sits J are little over one
quarter of an inch long and one-eighth
Of an inch apart. The Sits are par
allel to one another, and the one on
the upper edge Of the point begins just
one-sixteenth of an inch from the mid
die line.
This" said Polly, drawing an extra
panel seven-eighths of an inch wide
and three inches long, directly below
the lower middle panel, lis for bend
over to fasten the middle Of the bal
loon together"
Better divide it into three" Donald
advised. "Put two over and one I'M
der when you fastsn them and they
VIII hold tighter than one bend-over. {"
'T believe that will be the best, "
Polly agreed. So she drew the lines
from top to bottom on this last panel,
which divided it into three small OBJ
longs. each one inch long and seven
eighths of an inch wide. Half an inch
below the top line she drew the short
lines for the catches, leaving spaces
between three-eighths Of an inch long
for the necks, and then drew slanting
lines for the catches touching the mid

middle of one of the bend-overs. The
place is indicated by the two dots on
Figure 4. Bringing the needle down
again, she ran it through the opposite
side Of the car, unthreaded it and tied
the end Of the string to the car.
This made loop which passed from
one side of the car through the bot
tom edge of the balloon to the other
side Of the car. The string used for the
loop was three and one-half inches
long. The other end Of the car Polly
attached to the balloon in the same
way and the little passenger car hung
suspended from the balloon by four
ropes. (Figure 81,
81 have the propeller ready now, "
said Donald.
What a good idea, to use a pin
wheel for a propeller" exclaimed
Polly. How will you fasten it on?"
This way" said Donald, and he ran
hatpin through the pinwheel, pushed
small cork up on the pin, leaving
one inch between the cork and the head
of the pin so that the wheel would
turn easily. (Figure 81 Then he
forced the pin in through the middle
of the forward end of the car and out
through the middle Of the back, al
lowing a space of one-quarter of an
inch between the cork and the car

inch high. Each side Of the car is
two inches long and the ends are
double. Figure Z is the pattern of the
car. The entire length of one side of
Figure is five inches, while the entire
length of the other side is but four
and three-quarters inches. The differ
ence is at the ends. The end divisions
on the left of Figure z are three-quar-
ters of an inch from top to bottom,
while the end divisions on the right
are only fiVe-eighths Of an inch from
top to bottom. The other divisions
Of the two ends are exactly alike, each
three-Quarters Of an inch from top to
bottom. The Sits V, w, T, U, are
one-eighth of an inch from the inner
edge and are three-eighths of an inch
long. V and U are one-eighth of an
inch from the end edges and the Sits
w and T are one-quarter of an inch
from V and U.
Donald made a catch at either end of
the left side of Figure CY, X. The
necks Of these catches are one-quarter
Of an inch long. Then he bent up the
points V, W, U, T, along the dotted
lines, which made the floor of the car
pointed at each end. He bent the
sides up and the ends in, according
to the dotted lines,
The points V, W, U, T, he pushed
through the corresponding Sits from
the inside of the car, V through v,
W through w. U through U and T
through T. Then he fitted the other
end pieces on the outside, covering
the points, and fastened the catches
Y and X in the Sits and x. This
held the point securely betwe n the
double ends and made all ST Ig and
tight.
II can put the ropes on now" said
Polly, and threading needle with soft
cotton twine she pushed the needle
through the double end Of the car just
beyond the side bend and near the top
edge, as shown in Figure 6. She drew
the string through and tied it at the
end. Threading the needle again, she
fastened another string to the other
end of the car; then, with the needle
still threaded, she took a stitch in

How To Make An AirShip

Polly answered.
"Yes. but don't see what is to hold
it up7" Donald objected.
I'VE will make the airship first and
then find something to hold it up"
Polly replied cheerfully.
That's girls way Of doing things, !"
laughed Donald.
Well, it's good way" retorted
Polly.
Donald did not entirely agree with
her, but Polly's way seemed the only
way in this case, so he fell in with
her plan. "Of course we will make
the balloon cigar shaped like a diri-
gible, and have a propeller" he said.
Yes, and let us make wings, too;
they will help keep it in the air." Polly
added.

ald.
why, 1t will look just like Bird"
Polly exclaimed. And we can call it
the bird airship.' That sounds nice,
doesn't 1t, Donald?"
All right" said Donald; now I'll
make the balloon"
"0h, Donald, please let rae do that
You always take the hardest parts and
know can do some Of them" pro-
tested Polly. Besides, have thought
Of way to make It,"
We'll, l don't care If you make the
balloon" said Donald. This is your
scheme, anyway. I'll do the other
things, but use this stiff manila paper,
Polly; it is good and strong"
Polly was soon at work bending and
clipping and shaping a pattern that
later she would correct and reduce to
exact measurements. Donald watched
her while he waited to learn what size
to make the wings, tail and little pas
senger car.
81 am making the balloon in panels, y
Polly informed him. ut is easier than
trying to keep it round, and shall cut
each end into points with a bend-ovel
on each point to fasten them together
Going to glue it,"
'Why, no. l thought I would but.

1t Is hard to glue thing of this kind
and one has to hold each part so Ions

swered.
Figure / shows how Polly began Il
draw her balloon after she had worket
out her pattern. First she made al
oblong six inches wide and nine inches
long. This she divided into six panels
by drawing lines across the obloni
from side to side. She was very care
ful in her measurements, using rul
and making her lines exactly one incl
apart the whole length. 1.-THE side

said TO herself. Next she drew twu
lines across the oblong from top t
bottom, the first line three inches from
tie end edge and the second line tire
inches from the FIRST line, which mad
IL also Just three inches from the othe
end edge. These lines cut each pane
into three equal parts and made tire
rows OF small oblongs, each one inc
wide and three inches long.
That looks simple enough" com
naented Donald.

yet" said Polly, laying her ruler alon
