Study the list with care, for
many Of the terms which appear
in today's lesson will be used
hereafter, and unless you know
what these terms mean, you will
not be able to follow the discus
sion intelligently. "A misunder-
standing Of terms is far worse
in aeronautics than no knowl-
edge at all. Here are the def
initionS:
Angle Of Wing Setting The
acaute angle between the plane
Of wing chord and the line of
thrust. 1t may differ for each
wing.
DecalageThe acute angle be-
tween the wing chords Of q BIZ
plane or multiplane.
Definition Of "Gap"
Gap The distance between
the plane OF the chords Of any
two adjacent wings. measured
along i line perpendicular to the
chord Of the upper wing at any
designated point Of It's leading
edge. It's symbol Is G.
Longitudinal Dihedral Angle
The difference In angle Of wing
setting and Of stabilizer setting.
This angle Is positive when the
angle Of stabilizer setting. re-
ferred to the thrust line, Is less
than the angle Of wing setting.
Overall Length The distance
from the extreme front to the
extreme rear Of an aircraft, in
cIuding propeller and the tail
units.
Overhang This term is used
In two senses. Cal Onehan of
the difference In span OF any
| two main supporting surfaces of
an airplane. The overhang is
positive when the upper Of the
two main supporting surfaces has
the larger span tb) The distance
from the outer strut attachment
| to the tip Of the wings.
Span The maximum distance
measured parallel to the lateral
axis from tip to tip Of an air
plane, inclusive Of ailerons.
Stageer The amount Of ad-
vance OF the leading edge Of the
wing Of q biplane, triplane or
multiplane over that Of the lower,
expressed either as q percentage
Of gap or in degrees OF the angle
whose tangent Is the percentage
Just referred to. TT lis considered
positive when the upper wing Is
forward and Is measured from
the leading edge Of the upper
wing along its chord to the point
Of intersection o. this chord with
q line drawn perpendicular to the
CHORD Of the upper wing ct the
leading edg Of the lower wing,
all lines being drawn in q plane
parallel to the plane Of symmetry.
Angle Of Stabilizer Setting
The acut: angle between the line
Of thrust Of an airplane and the
chord of the Stabilizer
sweep Back The acute angle
between the lateral axis Of an
airplane and the projection of
| the axis of the wing Of the plane,
which includes the lateral and
longitudinal axes. ~

hero's future. This hero business
shouldn't be taken too seriously"
Smiling broadly, one Of Amer
ica's illustrious heroesCapt.
Eddie Rickenbacker, our greatest
"ace' during the World War
and now vice president OF the
Fokker Aircraft Corporation OF
America made this philosophers
observation during on interview
in his handsomely appointed Of
fices In the General Motofs
Building today.
very few heroes stay up on
their pedestals for any great
length Of time" said Ricken'
backer. "This generation moves
so terribly fast! A fellow Is up
today, half forgotten tomorrow.
Future To Tell.
Heroes Of the hour are
quickly relegated to posterity for
their proper rating. Future gen:
erations will record them In an
altogether different light than
! their own generation"
Rickenbacker grinned. There
was an easy tolerance about this
tall, genial, athletically-huilt man,
now 80, who achieved tindyl1g
fame during the war for having
shot down 26 German planes. He
discussed the ficklenesS OF the
public as any laynan might
understandingly, with detach,s
ment, without the slightest trace
of bitterness.
Today Rickenbacker can sit
back and review the passing
show Of heroes from an author
itative slant. He was hero him
self. Ten years ago his nan1e
was on every tongue. He knows
how it feels to receive = nations
homage.
Then the heroes Of war were
being idolized- Wilson, Pershing,
Foch, Lloyd George. And then
along came the peace'time idols:
Lindbergh, Coolidge, Byrd, Hoover,
Babe Ruth, Einstein, Jack Deu1Tf
sey, Mussolini, AL Smith, Fords
Edison, the Prince Of Wales, Ger
trude Ederle and many others. ].
Heroes Of Peaco
I.indbergh, that magic nAEaes
caught Rickenbacker'S attention.
isn't it great exclaimed Rick
enbacker, the war hero, TO think
that the world is now lauding
lpeace-time achievements rather
than wartime exploits?
"I am glad to see the worlds
emotions changing from war TO
peace. It is all right to talk
about patriotism and, Of cosirses
all good citizens are patriotic
But, after all, patriotism is 3

IF the same inspiration and
reward could be gwen in peac6
time as in war time, you would.
automatically eliminate the glory

Rickenbacker arose from his
desk and looked out on Broad

that has welcomed scores Of

OPPOSING POPULAR PLEBISCITES.

The refusal of the dry Illinois Senate to allow the people of the State to vote on the question of repeating the State Prohibition enforcement law indicates the fear of the Anti-Saloon League of changing public opinion. The "Drys, Consolidated " oppose with might and main the submission of any phase of Prohibition enforcement to popular vote. They in the saddle and they will ride whether the people like it or not. They fought tooth and nail against submitting the question of State en- forcement to vote in Wisconsin, just as they previously had done other phases of Prohibition in New York Massachusetts and the other States in which there have been plebiscites.
 Yet in spite of the organized efforts of the strongly intrenched Anti-Saloon League political organization the vote in the Senate against the proposed refendum was close-21 to 28 The measure had been passed through the House by over whelmng majority.
 Well, these rough-riders running toward a fall. There is no doubt about that Public opinion will prevail in the end in the United States and those who consistently refuse to submit question to the votes of the people will, in the end, lose public confidence
 It is significant that those in Alaska who op- posed submitting the Alaska Bone Dry Act to a plebiscite was Volsteadians

CANADIAN PROSPERITY.

Canada without Prohibition and with a low tariff when compared with the American, last year experienced percentage of gain in industrial de- veopment said to exceed that of the United States sixf fold according to statistics prepared by the Royal Bank of Canada. The same authority says that 3OO0O Canadians who had moved from their native land to become Americans returned in 1928 because of the greater prosperity" there.
 That would seem to dispute the theory that to Prohibition is due American prosperity and to support the contention that Americas trade and growth and development due more to the circumstance that the United States is the largest free trade area in the world than to the fact that we have the worlds highest protective tariff

The circumstance that the export debenture plan would be just germane a provision of the Tariff Bill it would be in the Farm Relief Bill may have had something to do with its apparent elimination from the latter measure.

Lord ROsebery.
(New York World.)

(NeW York World)
 A spoiled favorite of fortune, a splendid dis appointment, brilliant hero whose career ran into fuuity the late Lord Rosebery is one of the most sh politics. He was twenty three when, chosen by Gladstone to second motion, he made his first spech in the House of Lords. With commanding gifts he seemed to stand on the threshold of re- markable achievements There was attributed to him a triple ambition, which he completely full filled. He would marry the richest heiress in Eng and-and he married Hannah Rothschild He would would be Prime Minister-and pushing Sir William Harcourt to one side he was Gladstone's successor in that high office
 It was the contrast between the dazzling rise of Rosebery and his sudden and complete eclipse which made his career striking. He did his country conspicuous service in variety Of offices. Devoted to Gladstone he his able lieutenant. At first Chairman of the London County Council he was practically Mayor of Greater London and labored with prodigous energy. He was a shrewd head of the Foreign Office, and worked sixteen hours a day When Gladstone resigned at eighty-four and Queen Victoria sent for Rosebery, his great opportunity seemed to have arrived Yet fate proved the mo- ment nauspicious. The Liberal Party was divided Harcourt hated his successful rival; the party pro- gram mpracticabe; foreign difficulties were impending. In two years, with the Boer War at hand and Roseberys imperalist views clashing with those of the anti-mperialist Liberals he resigned The schism was complete and Rosebery was not the man to bring about reunion
 In sense Lord Rosebery outlived his fame After he refused office with Campbell Zimmerman he was lonely oracle, Yet he remained an in- teLectual influence; his books on Pitt Chatham and Napoleon and his masterly portrait of Ran dolph Churchill attest his splendid powers Nor will his strange combinations of high gifts and weak nesses, Of triumphs and failures be forgotten

Powell bought out Peters and moved
to Atlanta, taking complete control of
the team and complete ownership.
Since that time the ownership of
