EELIN is four years old, and
Il until three months ago he
had never been away from his
mother for half day. For young
Mrs. Sherrod had devoted her
whole time to the care of her
little son since the day of his
birth. She loved to have him
dependent upon her, and said
she would like to keep him a
baby always.
In turn, Felix lived moved and
and had his being in the radiance
of his mothers love. Her atten-
ton, her petting. her utter devo.
ton were essential to his happi-
ness. The two absolutely absorbed
each other.
However, this did not prevent
Felix from indulging in most of
the faults that little children are
apt to have. Neither did it pre-.
vent his mother from growing
irritable and tired at times. They
were too much together, but the
mother did not know that such
thing could be possible.
Then a kindergarten for very
young children was opened in the
neighborhood by one of Mrs.
Sherrod's former schoolmates, and
she was persuaded to send her
small son to the school.

One of the most efficient wing
sections is the U. S. APT. When
used in a wing it imparts to the
airplane an excellent degree of
speed and lift, with vety little re-
sistance. 1t has been used on many
prominent airplanes, including the
Douglas World Cruisers, which
circumnavigated the world in 1924.
We will use this section on our
model.
| The drawing shows the shape OF
this wing section. The upper draw
ing illustrates how the shape may
be accurately copied. We will use
wing with a width of 5-14 inches,
therefore on a sheet of paper draw
a line this long. With pair of
dividers, divide the line into 10
spaces and number the divisions
from 0 to 100 as shown. With the
dividers still set at Ito of the lines

and draw a line equal to the top
line at this point. Divide the dis
lance between the lines into ten
spaces and draw a line across from
each division, and add two lines

equally spaced below the tenth.
Next draw vertical lines downward
from the marks 0 to 100.
This practically completes the
preparation for the drawing, but
for the sake of better accuracy di-
vide the first space in half and each
of these smaller spaces in half. The
space between 80 and 100 also is to
be nalved. For clarity, you may
mark these smaller divisions in the
first space IA, az, 5 and 71a, and
similarly the next to the last sub
division may be marked 95. The
horizontal lines are to be marked
from 0 to IL, from the bottom up.

ing the points Of intersection of the

To draw the upper and lower
surface lines use the following table,
wherein the first column indicates
the vertical lines, the second column
indicates the position on this line
where the upper surface of the
wing intersects, and the third
column indicates where the lower
surface Of the wing intersects. For
instance, the tabulation: 20-11,
1-3-1-3, means that on vertical
line 20 mark is to be made 1-3 of
aspace beyond the ELEVENTH horizontal
line and 1-3 of a space above the

DIPLOMACY OF

is CONFUSING
Policy Scored by Advisor;
Birth Control Urged to
End Farm Problem.

BIZ United Press
WILLIAMCTOWN, Mass, Aug.
Is. - Contradictions in Americas
policy toward China threatens to
precipitate another crisis, Thomas
F. Willard, former advisor to the
Chinese government, believes.
Speaking before the Institute Of
Politics, he suggested that the pres
ent representatives of the United
States should be replaced immedi-
ately by men who have a clearer
conception of the ultimate objec-
tives of our Government in that
part of the world"
No Consistency
During the last two years, the
speaker asserted, diplomatic agents
of the United States have been help
ing to enforce treaties in China
which the policy of the American
Government condemns. AS result,
Chinese have become suspicious of
our sincerity.
Birth control was suggested BY
other speakers today as a solution
for the present plight of Americas
farmers.
IF the average farm family was
composed of two children" said
Henry A. Wallace, editor of wal
lace's Farmer" there would be a
strong tendency for the farms to
pass from one generation to the next
by inheritance, rather than by pur-
chase"
Robbing Farms
This condition. he thought, would
keep more workers on the farms by
making such a choice attraction
financially and dulling the lure Of
the cities.
"Soil robbing or the taking OF
plant food from the earth without
restoring it with fertilizer" said
Harry c. Butcher, managing editor
of the Fertilizer Review, sis costing
agriculture an annual loss of
$500 900 ,000."
