/. HOW TO START
Building and flying your own
model airplanes described in these
articles to be published by The
Times will allow you to play a part
in the interesting development of
aviation. Whether you are young
or old, son or father, daughter or
mother, you can easily build and
fly your own Smau-sized, aircraft.
You will find it fascinating
sport. The construction of the
models is an absorbing occupation.
When the model is completed and
flown, you will be thrilled by the
results.
Boys and girls who build the
models described in these articles
will be able to enter their airplanes
in the model airplane contest be-
ing conducted by The Times and the
city playground supervisors.

This is a part of a national
competition arranged by a commit
tee of which Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh is honorary chairman, Or
vile Wright is chairman and lead
ing aviation experts are members.
The local contests are being held
on Fairgrounds throughout the ma
ton. A national tournament will
be held at Memphis on Oct. 8.
The airplane to be described in
these articles will be an easily
constructed scientific model. You
can make it in a few evenings of
directions. The materials will
cost very little.
While building and flying model
airplaneS is a great sport, it has
played an important part in the
development of aeronautics. Lang
ley flew models successfully and
showed that mechanically propelled
flight was possible. The Wrights
experimental with gliders and
models before they invented the
airplane.
Perhaps through your work with
model airplanes you can aid in the
advancement such as at Langley
Field, Va, to solve some of the
problems of airplanes.
Tools and Materials Needed
The construction of a model air.
plane does not require the use of
any unusual tools nor material
that is hard to obtain. A hand
saw, small plane, penknife, ruler,
pair of pliers with side cutters, razor
blade and a scrap of sandpaper will
suffice for the first model to be
described.
The wood needed may be obtained
from a lumber yard, but probably
every boy will be able to save this
expense by using board from a

party fight ihjuring the Republican
nominees chances. I believe If we
Democrats can name a strong can
didate our next President will be a
Democrat. 1 believe Senator Wat
son will be a candidate, but not a
strong one.
JOHN NORMAN, Trustee of
Michigan City Prison and Prominent
in Republican Politics-The only
thing is that I'm afraid he doesn't
mean it. It's lot of cheap Coolidge
stuff, like his trip to South Dakota,
his chaps and ten-gallon hat.
No Third Term Talk
zELL SWAIN, Indiana Manager
for the Hiram johnson Presidential
Campaign and Employe in the Of
flee of State Insurance Commits
sioner-It's good thing that Cool
idge withdrew. There should be no
chance to hurl the charge OF third
term"
JOHN M'CARDLE, Republican
Member of the Public Service Com
mission - Coolidge did the wise
thing. I never did think that he
would run. There would be too
much talk of third term" 1t will
mean a convention scramble, but
that will be all right.
LUKE DUFFEY. Farm Bureau
Booster and Bus Line Co-ordinator
of the Public Service Commission
When Coolidge went out West he
saw the smoke and learned which
way the wind blew so far as the
farmers are concerned. 1t may be a
compromise with the Lowden fol-
lowers that might put Vice. Presi-
dent Dawes in the office.
The Oracle Speaks

RECTOR RICHARD LIEBER -
ibis ibis nunquam redibis," said the
Delphian oracle when the pro-coun-
sells sought advice regarding their
military expedition. There were no
commas and the literal translation
was You will go, you will go, never
to return" in Latin the meaning
could be hopeful or otherwise. The
Coolidge statement can be variously
interpreted and one cannot COM
ment without more light.
SUPREME COURT CLERK
CHARLES L. BIEDERWOLF-He
has made a fine president and 1
hope to be able to vote for him

CHARLES F. MILLER. State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion-May we still have an oppor-
tunity to re-elect him. He is the
man that can carry the ticket for
the Republican party.

packing box, or cutting up yard
sticks, which are often given away
by local notion stores. The pro-
pellers are cut from small blocks
of wood, easily obtainable. The
wings are made of wood and wire,
the wire should be preferably No
Is aluminium, which most hard
ware stores carry. This is best
but ordinary hairpins Of the heavier
kind can be used.
Wings and Propeller
The wings are to be covered with
thin tissue paper, or China silk.
These are easy to obtain locally, the
silk costs about ST a yard; one
fourth-yard will be enough for the
model. Most of the wire fittings
can be madeafrom heavy hair pins,
but the propeller shafts should be
sitter wire, such as hat pins.
The propellers are powered with
rubber. The best form consists of
what is known as rubber thread,
and is obtainable from rubber COM
panies and model supply houses,
which are advertised in boys
magazines and aircraft periodicals.
A substitute may be made by link
ing together in form of a chain,
long rubber bands, which all drug
stores carry. In every instance the
material which is lightest and
strongest is best. The actual sizes
of material required will be
specified in connection with the con-
struction of parts.

frame of the first model will be

U. S. MAY FORM
LATIN-A AMERICA
LEAGUE, CLAIM
Political Scientist Says Mon
roe Doctrine Is Basis for
Close Union.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug. 3.
The United States and Latin
American republics are closely
united by the Monroe Doctrine,
Prof. William r. Shepherd, profess
sor of history at Columbia Uni
versity, told the seventh annual in
stitute of politics here today.
Originally" Professor Shepherd
explained, the Monroe Doctrine was
declaration by the United States
of it's rights to national self-defense
against potential European agrees
sion that, by using some other
American country as spring board,
might enable European countries to
land on our shores"
AS the United States has de-
veloped, the Monroe Doctrine has
caused it to protect not only its own
territory, but also that of other
American countries, he said.
AS a result, the United States is
so closely allied with South Amer
lean republics that in the future
there might arise an American
league in the western hemisphere
somewhat like the League of Ma
tons.
In another address today, Profess
sor Ralston Hayden, professor of
political science at the University of
Michigan, pointed out that latent
rubber resources of the Philippine
Islands should be developed. He
said the United States could assist
without being subject to accusations
of exploitation" and imperialism.
DR.. George Warren Human of
the American Missionary Associa-
ton, defended American mission
aries against British accusations
that they had been indirectly re-
sponsible for the turmoil in China
over nationalism. DR.. Human said
the missionaries were no more re-
sponsible than any of the other edu-
cational factors assisting Chinese in
the past decade.

ASK ATTORNEYS
TO Give VIEWS
ON TAX REFUND
Chamber of Commerce
Budget Men Ask 0pin-
ion of Committee.

Conference of a committee of In
diana's leading attorneys, in order
to arrive at joint opinion on the
tax refund problem facing officials
will be held early next week, Will
liam H. Book, Chamber of Com
merce civic affairs director, an
nounced today. Book said the civic
affairs division is selecting attorneys
for the committee at this time.
Decision for a conference of at
torneys to determine if there is any
way in which the tax refund may
.be avoided was reached at a/meet-
ing of the Chambers budget COM
mittee with State tax board mem
bers Tuesday.
John j. Brown, tax board chair
man, volunteered to suggest list
of leading attorneys.
Tax board members maintained
their position that an error had
been made by the Indiana Supreme
Court in the refund case.
Attorneys Are Criticised
Il have asked dozens of promi-
nent attorneys opinions and have
yet to find one who could show
where the decision calls for whole
sale refund of taxes said to be levied
illegally in 19k~s 1921 and 1922, "
Brown said.
He added that he believed the
Supreme Court would be glad to re-
verse itself if similar test case
should be filed, as they realized
their error"
Attorneys handling claims for
taxpayers came in for their share
of criticism from board members.
why don't they disbar these law
yers who have been acting in an
unethical manner, soliciting clients
to obtain their tax refunds?" Philip
Zoercher, tax board member, asked.
Plan to Pay Refund
When Book suggested a COM
mittee of lawyers named by the
president of the local or State bar
association, Brown replied:
IT don't know. There is so darn
much crooked politics going around"
around"
Harry Dunn, county auditor, an
nounced Tuesday that he was pro-
ceeding, on advice of attorneys that
refund could not legally be made
by bond issue, to prepare to raise
the money by 1evying a direct tax
this fall payable in 1928.
Book explained Dunn is preparing
to make refund only in order to be
prepared in case the attorneys COM
mittee decides the refund must be
made. In event it should be found
refund is not Necessary, the county
will join with other taxing units,
he said.

A curious mixture of surprise, re-
lief, regret and belief that he is
only "spoofng" was the reaction OF
indianapolis party leaders today to
President Coolidge's statement that
he does not choose" to be a can
didate for reelection.
Some doomed Indiana's senior
Senator, James E. Watson, as the
logical successor of Coolidge in the
1928 race.
"Coolidge's announcement was a
real surprise to me-" said Schuyler
A. Haas. Seventh District Repub-
lican chairman. at was almost a
foregone conclusion that he would
have no opposition. There are lots
of good men who would like to
make the race, including Lowden
and Jim Watson, who will probably
take up the fight now Coolidge
is out. Personally, I think Watson
is the logical contender and 1 am
for him.
watson surprised
Senator Watson received the news
of the Presidents decision in Chi
cago. He dictated a statement over
the telephone from the Congress
Hotel, asserting he "had no idea
President Coolidge intended to take
himself out of the race" but now
that the President had expressed
himself, 81 don't suppose he will be
forced into the race"
Sentiments of others:
WILLIAM H. SETTLE, Indiana
Farm Bureau Federation President
Its the best thing he ever did
good thing for himself and for
the country. 1t will give an oppor-
tunity for both parties to bring out
leading statesmen. 1 would say
Governor Lowden and Vice-Presi-
dent Dawes are the leading Re-
publicanS left in the field and Gov
ernor Donahey and Evans Woollen
of Indianapolis are strong Demo-
cratic possibilities. I think Dona-
hey is more popular than AT
Smith or Senator Reed. Woollen
will be a strong candidate because
of his economic views"
JOHN j. BROWN, Chairman
State Tax OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of Coolidge's decision not to seek
denomination is complete surprise
to me. I believe his statement y is
intended merely as a feeler' to de-
termine sentiment Of the public. 1
believe he would gracefully 'accede'
and consent to run if there we're
clamor for his candidacy and that
he will remain out if there is no
demonstration. Frank o. Lowden,
Ex-Governor of Illinois, appears at
this time to be the leading Re-
publican candidate whit Coolidge
out of the race"
Sees Democratic Victory
DICK MILLER, Democrat, Presi-
dent City Trust Company and
Chamber of Commerce-President
Coolidge has opened the way for
Democratic victory in 1923, 1 be-
lieve. A vicious bloc fight that will
injure chances of the Republican
nominee is likely. Lowden OF
Illinois becomes the strongest Re-
publican. possibility with Coolidge

IN CHINA
SEEN NEAR
BY JOHN GOETHE,

PEKING, June S.-Fears Of anti.
foreign risings in Pcking are gradu-
ally being dispelled as the negotia-
tions for a tri-partite truce between
Chang Tso Lin, Chang Kai Shek
and Yen Hsi Shan continue.
The truce negotiations now seem
to be pending while the northern
leaders endeaVor to reconcile them
selves to the southern viewpoint.
Acceptance of Sun Vat Sens three
major principles for the future gov
eminent of China, as demanded by
the southerners as a prerequisite to
a truce, is rather difficult for the
northerners, but there is an impress
sion here that after due delibera-
ton these principles will be &C.
cepted.
The northerners are also very re-
luctant to relinquish the Fengtien
grip upon Picking, and they do not
relish the southern demand that the
Fengtien army be renamed.
Present prospects are, however,
that there will be an eventual COM
promise of one sort or another and
that the tri-partite truce will be-
come an actually.
American Minister MacMurray
stated today that he has no inten.
ton of requesting additional United
States marines for Picking, but he
will permit the marine reinforce
ments to remain at Tientsin where
they have disembarked from the
Henderson.
Minister MacMurray states that
there is little ground for fear in
Picking now as the anti-foreign feel
ing is lessening each day and Picking
has never been more peaceful.
