7. MAKING A GEARED WINDER
AS you have discovered in flying
your model airplane, winding the
propelling rubber by hand is hard
work. 1t was therefore suggested in
the last article that geared winder
could be constructed from an egg
beater. In preparation for the con-
struction described today, obtain an
ordinary egg beater such as sold at
any hardware store. Preferably
select one in which the large drlv-
ing gear rotates between the two
driven gears, and in which the beat
err shafts are firmly fixed in the
frame. With such beater in hand
proceed to make your geared winder
as follows:
In the drawing an ordinary egg
beater of the type desired is shown.
1t is to be cut where the dotted
line indicates. This cutting may
best be done by clamping the egg
beater in wise and saving through
it with a hack saw. If you do not
have the necessary tools, the use OF
them may be procured at a garage
or machine shop. Having severed
the beaters, and cut the shafts, next
pull the small gears and attached
pieces Of fiat metal off of the shafts.
Study Drawing
Where the dotted lines in Figure
indicate, drill holes through the
metal strips, using a drill which Will
make a hole through which the gear
shafts may pass. Bend the metal
strips back of the holes, so that
when bent inward they will appear
as in Figure 2. The two holes must
be in the same line. Now take a
small piece of copper wire, or wire
of any metal which can be easily
soldered; form two fittings like the
one illustrated in Figure 2.
Procure two washers of the size
that will have hole like the holes
YOU have drilled in the strips. Clean
the shaft ends and also the washers
and after placing the gears ano

RED QUEEN And
JUDGE DEBATE
SACCO VERDICT
Isadora Duncan Clashes
With American Jurist in
Partisan Cafe.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 1o.-How an
American Judge defended the
American system of justice in an
impromptu debate with Isadora
Duncan in a Partisan cafe was re-
lated in a copyrighted dispatch
printed today by the Chicago
Tribune.
Judge Jacob H. Hopkins, former
chief justice of the Criminal Court
of Chicago, was seeking the radical
view on the Sacco-Vanzetti case,
the dispatch related, and so went to
a cafe in the heart OF MonSpar-
nasse.
Soon he was drawn into the con-
versation at a nearby table by
Isadora Duncan, noted dancer,
whom the Tribune describes as
sort of queen of the Reds the
world over"
Opening Guns
1.-The Sacco-V anzetti case is blot
on American justice" asserted the
dancer. ut will bring a lasting
curse on the United States, a curse
deserved by American hypocricy.
Governor Fuller's name will go down
in history with that of Pontius Pr
late"
To this, Judge Hopkins replied:
s"The judicial processes of the
United States are not subject to the
condemnation of international poll
tics. 1t is well-known fact inter-
nationally that in an American
court of justice one is guaranteed
more safeguards for his defense
than in any other court in the
world.
cit is my firm conviction that if
the original sentence of death had
been pronounced on Sacco and Van
zetti in any country of Europe, they
would have been executed and bur-
led six years ago."
Cruelty at Delay
"The extreme cruelty of American
SPECIALIZED justice" Responded lSadora,
ais responsible for the prolongation
I'd the intense torture these men
nave been subjected to for six or
seven years
Again Judge Hopkins had a
reply:
1.-THE delays in American justice"
he said, "are not invoked by the
prosecution, but by the defense, and
solely in the interest of the defense,
so that the delays in this case were
brought about by the defendants
themselves"
Other English speaking people of
s the Latin quarter joined in the dis
cussion, the Tribune dispatch
stated, but the dispute ended with
Judge Hopkins inviting Isadora to
dine with him on Saturday and meet
Clarence barrow. who is en- route
now to Europe for a two months
vacation.
