BUILDS MINIATURE PLANE
THAT FLIES PERFECTLY

Merrill Gump, a 16-year -old Tulsa
boy. has succeeded in building a
miniature monoplane which can fly
at least a block. 1t is now on ex-
hlbit in the boys department of the
Y. NJ. C. A. The machine weighs but
nine ounces and measures two and
a half feet in length and three feet
from tip to tip of its wings.
In construction the aeroplane Is
quite complete and has been made OF
regulation material, prepared silk
being used to cover the body and
wings. Wires have been placed to
support the wings and also to aid
in control of the tail. A copper plate
designates the position OF the en-
Eine and serves to help balance the
machine.
On Saturday night the Boys Aero
club, for boys from l2 to IS. will
have its first meeting in the Y. NJ.
c, A. at 8 o'clock. The club is being
organized SO that these young boys
can learn to construct small aero
planes OF their own. Merrill Gump
will be in charge of the club and
help in the building of these minia.
ture machines.
Merrill Gump Is the son OF c. p
Gump OF the hardware firm OF
| Gump & Jones on East Third street
| The young man has always shown
an inclination for mechanics, and
IN the last few years has shown
marked genius In the construction Of
mechanical novelties.
