ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 80
QN.S9.-An investigation is
underway here today by the
Naval Academy authorities into
the alleged escapades during the
holidays Of some so midshipmen
for being A. w. OIL.
At least two middies are said
to be seriously involved, 1t was
learned, although Capt. Charles
p. Snyder, commandment Of the
battalion of midshipmen would
not discuss charges against the
entire group. He admitted, how
ever, an investigation got under
way today. It was ordered late
Saturday night for so middies

Transfer and Taxi Service Of
Annapolis. Marley and other
police officials declare the trio
were intoxicated.
The two middies were detained
at police Headquarters for a time,
but Marley and Zindorf after a
consultations decided not to press
the charges. The two were
turned over to the academy
authorities, and the girl was sent
home.

the majority were said to merely
involve staying beyond the con-
fines Of the academy after 10

Uncle Sam viii have an income
Of approximately $4,243,689, 900
for 1929, a heavy increase over
last year, according to figures
available at the Treasury today.
The principal sources Of Gov.

LESSON NO. 10
Aer07a1uticGL Engineer

The advantages or disadvan-
tages of one type of plane over
the other have already been made
clear in the discussion of the
monoplane and the biplane. Lit
tie has been said, however, re-
garding the construction of the
airplane wing, which as you know
remains almost the same in all
cases. The biplane, as T have
previous mentioned, represents
the majority of planes in use to-
day. It is most important that
We first know something OF its
arrangement.
From our previous lesson we
have learned that the strength of
the biplane is far superior to that
of the monoplane type of aircraft.
This, OF course, is made possible
by an arrangement of struts and
wires under tension.
From the diagram on this page
you will see that wires are placed
between each ! pair Of wing
struts or wing compression struts.
These wires are known as Incl
dence wires and are under ten
sion to bring the spars firmly
against the struts. The struts
also act as spacing units to keep
the upper and lower wings at
their proper gaping.
One of the wires, you win no

front spar to the lower rear spar,
while the other extends from the
upper rear spar to the lower
front spar. It Is these wires,
when drawn tight, that keep the
two wings upper and lower) at
their proper angle in relation to
each other and than are used to
set the angle of incidence" This
is done through the use of the
Curnbuckle.
The wings shown In this dia-
gram are at a positive stagger.
The method of checking the stag
ger is illustrated here. This is
done by taking a long piece of
cord with q weight tied to one

BUTLER FLAYS
/. DRY FANATICS
Times staff Photo.

NEW YORK, Dec. 80 GN.S).-
While not referring directly to
prohibition as q topic, DR.. Nicho-
las Murray Butler, in his annual
report as president of Columbia
University. made public today.
nevertheless alludes to it in a
bitter attack on the advocates Of
nationwide law enforcement.
In effect, the famous educator
takes up his defense of moral
lawlessness'' Just where he left off
in his report made last year.
There is one reason why the
widely heard cry for law enforce
ment is so meaningless, DIR. But
Ter declares. ''It usually reflects
merely the demand of the fanatic
for the punishment of violatorS
of some particular law In which
he is interested. If law enforce
ment meant the enforcement of
all law, then the social order, at
least in the United States, would
quickly be afflicted with paraly-
sis, partly because Of the absurd
ity of many of these laws and
partly because of their open con-
flictS with each other"
DR.. Butler criticizes the conven-
ticnal statement that disregard
for one law leads to the disre-
spect and violation Of all law.
"Lawlessness is selective,p he
says in the report, land unbroken
human experience goes to prove
that a man may hold one law in
utter contempt and yet have high
respect for the great body. Of law
Of the land in which he lives"
