4. MAKING THE WINGS
Now that our model airplane has
its frame, propeller and rubber mo-
tor, it must be fitted with wings.
Inasmuch as the wing supports
most of the weight of the model
when in flight, it should be made
to embody the utmost efficiency; it
should be light and strong, and must
be made true.
The following materials are re-
quired: Two pine sticks, 81 in. X
1-8 in. x1-16 in; SO inches Of No.
16 aluminium wire; IA yard china
silk or thin paper; thread, needle
and pins; glue and wing solution.
To commence construction smooth
the two sticks with sandpaper, and
find the center of each. Make marks
outward from the center three
inches apart, and cut a slight re-
cess in the end of each stick as
shown in the detail drawing marked
wing tip"
Next take the wire which should
be No. 16 aluminium; other light
wire slightly smaller in diameter
than a pencil lead will do. From the
wire cut seven pieces, inches long
for the ribs. Cut the remainder in
half and from each piece form two
semicircles, with extended ends. The
radius Of the semi-circles is to be
ga inches. These are the wing
tips.
Curved Ribs
Take each rib, and bend the ends
at right angles, for a distance of
IA of an inch as shown in the de-
tail drawing, rib top Each of the
ribs thus formed is to be again bent
into a curved shape as shown in the
detail drawing. rib side" This curve
is somewhat like parasol. The cor
rect shape for securing lift from the
wing, as these must be alike. The
end of each rib is to be flattened
slightly as shown in detail drawing,
rib end" to facilitate binding it to
the sticks. This flattening can be
done easily by holding the rib on a
piece of iron and hitting the tip
with hammer.
Next step is to bind each rib to
the sticks at the points marked.
Greatest curve of the rib must be
III front. When this ladder-lik
frame is completed it should be
strengthened against lateral play by
running a thread diagonally from
rib to rib as shown in the plan
drawing of the wing. The detail
drawings rib detail" and "tie" illus
trate how the thread is tied about
each rib and carried on to the next.
Be sure that each thread is tight
and that ribs are at right angles
with the sticks. Next move consists
in tying on the wing tips. This is
done as shown in the detail drawing
wing tips"
Covering Frame
This completes the frame. 1t must
next be covered with either silk or

paper. If the latter, piece slightly
larger over all than the farme is OBJ
tanned. The center sections of the
frame are covered with glue and the
paper applied, making sure that it
is drawn tightly leaving no wrinkles.
Each succeeding frame is covered,
when the tips are reached the paper
is folded over them and trimmed
with a slight margin, which is
glued to the under surface near the
tip wire. The tendency in stretch
ing the paper should be to pull it
laterally rather than from edge to
edge, so as to preserve the curve of
the wing.
If silk is used, it is applied in the
same way, but the ends can be made
neater if they are sewed as IN the
detail drawing sewing" which
shows the cloth at the end folded
over and pinned. after which a plain
stitch is taken close to the wire, and
finally the excess cloth is cut off.
Making 1t Air Tight
Cloth must be painted with some
solution to make it air tight. The
solution may be coilodion, which is
sold at drug stores, or it may be a
solution composed of celluloid dis
solved in banana oil. A piece of eel
luloid usually can be found about
the house in the form of an old
comb or brush back, tray, etc. Ba-
mana oil is sold at paint and art
stores.
Celluloid is put in the oil until no
more can be dissolved, after which
the solution is ready to be applied.
1t should be brushed on thinly. If
the constructor has access to a fly
ing field he could procure some
regular airplane wing solution,
known as dope" This makes an
ideal model wing solution, especial
ly if thinned with acetone, a drug
store product.
After covering, the wing should be
laid on a flat surface. to insure its
remaining true while the rest of the
model is completed.
Tomorrow we will take up the
construction of the elevator or
smaller wing, after which the model
will be finished and ready for flying.

MARTIN FLAYS q
JUDICIAL BAN
ON CRITICISM
Dissenting Opinion in Shu-
maker Case UphoIdS Right
of Free Speech.

Constructive criticism Of judicial
decision, whether it be professions.
or lay, is to be desired rather than
stifled."
This was the keynote of the o.
page dic-enting decision in the E. S.
Shumaker contempt case, prepared
by Judge Clarence M. Martin,
youngest member of the Indiana Su-
preme Court. 1t was concurred in
by Judge Willard B. Gemmill.
Contrary to the majority opinion
the Martin decision completely co.
onerated the Indiana Anti-Saloor
League Superintendent and his "a
torneys, Jesse E. Martin and e. y.
Miles, of all contempt charges grow
ing out of the 1925 league report.
Judges and Kings Err
Supreme Courts neither are hem
ored or helped by being held up ~
above criticism" the opinion states
and continues: .
1.-THE time when men, whetheGl
kings or judges, could be considereW
incapable of doing wrong is buried
in the historic past. 49,
1T, is unfortunate that in a pro-
ceeding of this kind the judges
whose decisions arc criticised sit II
judgment of the person who has
made the criticism"
In his opening statement, Martin
points out that he was not a men,
Der of the court when the proceed
ing was instituted and it was only
upon urgent request of colleagues
on the bench that he took part in
the decision. Citing the Shumaker
criticism, in the annual report and
the American Issue, League publ
cation, Martin defends their privi-
legged character in the light Of free
speech and free press.
Broad Interpretation
AS to judicial hairs splitting" Of
which Shumaker accused the court,
Martin pointed out that such is a
common criticism where decisions
are based on technicalities, rather
than a bread Interpretation OF the
facts involved. Criticism of the
court was based on cases already
decided and therefore not con-
tcmptuous, Martin held.
Quoting from the estate of the
Nation" by Albert j. Beveridge,
he declares the following is appli-
cable in the present case:
$50 the complaints about the ju-
dietary and criticism Of the Consti-
tuition. which we hear today, are
not wicked. Merely to pour vitu-
peratioa upon the. critics only feeds

BY RUIZ rkNINEA
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-The
rauch-feared, much-maligned sum-
ner Of 1927 is now here.
Herbert Janvrin Browne offered
some intimate details about 1t on
the first of last January. He said:
"a cold wave will start in the
northwest June 2, sweep across the
corn belt as far south as the Ohio
and Potomac and reach the Allan
tic seaboard by June 6. 1t will be
accompanied by freezing tempera-
lures and, over considerable por-
ton of this area, it will be accom-
panied by snow.
"The period from June % to July
2 will see heavy frosts in portions OF
this same area, while the week from
July Z to July II will represent
second very dangerous date. The
two periods in conjunction will have
carried severe frosts and probably
killing frosts through the great
northern grain areas
What Really Happened
Note the wording and compare
with these Weather Bureau records
of what happened.
For the period Of June 2 to s:
mo marked change in tempera-
ture occurred. June and some
what warmer than previously over
the northwest and the eastern corn
belt. Freezing temperatures were
confined to a few local areas in the
extreme northern portion OF the
country and some higher elevations
of the west where freezing is not
uncommon esr1y in June"
Z June % to July 2:
"By the morning of June % tenn
peratures had risen over the central
and eastern portions of the country,
except in the extreme northeast and
the following few days heat wave
prevailed in most sections east of
the Rocky Mountains.
Gives Blizzard Evidence
July 7 to II:
Temperature variations during the
period were uni1nportant. BY the
morning of the seventh somewhat
warmer weather prevailed in the
middle Atlantic area, the Ohio val
ley and far northwest, with slight
further rise in temperature the fol-
lowing day."
Early in June, Browne issued a
page of reproduced newspaper clip
pinsg in justification of his July cold
wave predictions.
"Fitchburg has June blizzard"
says one item. From Exeter, N. H.,
''Frost damages crops in N. H.;
Mercury &c." Snow falls in Mon
treal" "Frigid Fourth in Washing
ton, Mass" Frost again in Middle
sexH Snow in New York State."'
"Snow Falls in Colorado as Midwest
swelters." Floods sweeping Nor
wegian countries" "Snow falls on
Black Forest Peak, Germany"
"$2,000,000 storm sweeps Rumania."
Storms and Heat sweep Eastern
Europe
Crops are Flourishing
Except for European dispatches
and those from Colorado and Can
ada, all these items concern New
England. None of them mentions
the corn belt where Browne had in
dictated the destructive cold wave
was to occur.
The New England items Browne
reproduces were dated July 4, 5
and 6.
Weather Bureau records for the
Fourth and fifth in New England
show the following official tempera-
lures at larger stations:

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS

Unified Tonnage Statemen


In the last article in this series
discussed the importance OF the
figures on the size of brokers' loans
as an index of the market position.
Another statistical report which Wall
Street gives the greatest attention Is
the untitled tonnage statement or the
United States Steel Corporation. once
a month the total of orders on the
books is announced, and as this sum
goes up or down so traders appralse
the status of the steel industry.
When the amount of untitled orders
Increases it is regarded as a sign or
business activity in this great key IN
dustry. Conversely when the amount
falls off the indication is unfavorable.
Interpretation of the untitled tonnage
statement nowadays. however. must
take into account present-day tend
encies in business. Consumers have
adopted In large degree what is known
as hand-to-mouth buying. There Is
not nearly as much forward ordering
as there used to be decade ago.
The reason for this is to be found
partly in the experience or 192l, Wnen
business men lost huge sums by the
sl,lmp in prices of articles they had
bought for stock Partly. also, 1t is
the result Of the sagging tendency in
commodity quotations that has been
in evidence for several years back. In
hardly any line is there any forward
buying based on the prospect OF ad-
vancing prices.
One other factor enters into the
matter. and that Is the efficiency of
railroad transportation. Buyers know
now that their orders can be filled
with minimum Of delay. The result
is that the falling off in the steel un-
filled tonnage statement is not as dis
couraging as it used to be. Neverthe-
less the figures are closely watched.
and they still have value.
