of California, to call a general
meeting of anti-prohibition mem

The ribs, as you have already
been told, are to give both
strength and design to the wing.
Ribs, however, are Of many vari-
Gus patterns, so we shall study
only those most commonly used.
1T must be remembered, though,
that whatever the shape Of the
wing is to be. the ribs have to
bear that very same design. In
order to secure accuracy and
ease in rib construction, "jigs"
are used. Jigs are a sort Of
mold in which the rib is built.
When the Jig is released, the ribs
are of the desired lines.
Four Different Designs
I am illustrating today four
different designs for wing ribs
"a" is the type which is fully
truSsed, with diagonal and verti-
cal truss beams. This type is
noted to be one of the strongest
Of its kind. However, there is no
best all-around type Of rib. Each
rib has to be built to fulfill best
its duty in each different design
of wing.
In p" you find a type which
is Strengthene@ by built-up webs
of vertical truss members only.
In &C" you find that type
which is strengthened by semi
trusting and oval cutoutS. In
this case plywood is generally
used and is cut out in one piece.
In each case Of the different
types of ribs A, B. G, cap'strip-
ping is used to prevent the rib
proper from cutting through the
fabric or wing covering.
Use of Ghsset Plates.
If you viii study closely the de
signs which / have given you, you
will be able to understand rib
construction fully. In each case
space is left so that the two sparS
can be slipped through.
In ID" you have different
type, which is built up throughout
with one size of capStripping and
strengthened by the application Of
guSset plates. Gusset plates are
small pieces of plywood tackled
and glued to the various joints,
as shown in the illustration.
All ribs to the average person
seem almost too tfrail for consid-
GRAFTON in the construction of
wings, but viii you be surprised If
I tell you that these frail pieces of
construction weighing far less
than a pound viii support weights
as high as 750 pounds

SMALL REPUBLIC BRANCHING OUT
Andorra to Develop Power and
 Build Highways

Andorra. Republic of Andorra, Sept. II P}-This tiny picturesque mountain republic, nestled in the Eastern Pyrenees and independent since the time of Charlcmagne, is being opened up for industrial anl tourist exploitation.
 4 FranCo-Spanish Company, with headquarters at Lerida, the neigh boring Province of Spain, was or ganizod today to exploit the great water power resources of Andorra, harnessing the Balira River falls.
 Andorra authorities have hitherto strongly opposed all foreign influ- ence, French or Spanish, and ieal- ously guarded the rights of their 175 square miles of territory. The con- cession granted now by the Spanish bishop of Urgel. co-suzerain with the French government, is the cul- imitation of many years of fruitless negotiation.
 Under the concession, highways also are 10 be built across the terri tory where now lead only mule tracks and rough trails, permitting tourists to motor through one of the most picturesque regions of the Pyrenees. Andorra's inhabitants numbering 5000, are mostly shep- herds.

Ware Issue SidetraCked

Washington, Sept. Il CFN - The long standing question of seating William s. Ware as senator from one side and placed the tariff as the official subject of senate debate.
 Anxious that consideration of the tariff bill be delayed no longer than possible, administration leaders were striving to postpone the Ware issu" which was brought up by Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska, with the introduction of q resolution barring the Philadelphian from the senate. The measure took auto natic precedence.
 Pending was a motion by Senator Watson, the majority leader. under which consideration of the Ware case would he deferred until after the senate meets in regular session in December In the event of it's defeat, administration leaders hoped 10 obtain an agreement postponing q vote on the Norris resolution un- til next week. so that, in the interim, the senate elections committee can report on the contest of William F. Wilson, Wares democratic opponent in the elections of 1926.
 Meanwhile senate leaders were studying the possibilities Of the Simmons resolution, adopted late yesterday under which the finance t1 11, tgi, r, from the treasury income tax in formation regarding profits, losses, wages, production costs and re- lated data of American manufaC- turers and importers for use in con sidering the tariff bill.
 The resolution was adopted hy q vote of 51 to 27 which saw many republicans some of them ordina- rily rated as administration dcpend- ables, joining the democratic-inde- pendent republican coalition which is opposing the tariff bill drawn up by the finance committee majority. The ballots against the resolution, which was opposed by administra- tlon leaders were solidly republican, while 21 republicans and 30 demo- Crats voted for it.
 Under existing law, the finance committee is entitled to the infor- nation sought in the resolution. Now, either the minority or major ity groups of the committee can obtain this data from the treasury
 Sponsors of the resolution in speeches prior to the vote said that the information affected would not be abused by dissemination 10 the country as a whole, but would be used only for the purpose of justify ing an increase or decrease in tho tariff schedules.
