Several interesting plans have re-

County Board of Trade, of which
Il. Y. Watson is chairman and b. \.
Harrigan, secretary. Plans are be

If funds are available it has been
decided to place an ad of Imperial

cost not to exceed $3S. The board
also unanimously recommended to
the county board Of supervisors that
an exhibit be prepared for the an

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR PICNIC TO
LACUNA ROAD

All plans have been completed for
the picnic of the directors of the FL
Centre Chamber of Commerce and
their friends, to be held next Sun
day, January 90. The picnic will be
held in Canebrake Canyon, picnic
spot on the proposed short road to
Lagma mountains. This canyon is
very beautiful, with large' trees,
grass and running water and one of
the objects of the picnic is to ac-

oasis between desert and mountain.
The picnickers will meet Sunday

Echo Wells, and Mountain Palm

which has puzzled many is heard.
Those attending the picnic are
asked to bring their own lunches
with the exception of coffee, which
will be served by the chamber of

LOCAL. ROTARIANS|
EXTEND WELCOME
TO GOV. HARRIS

FL Con'ro Rotarians, in place of
their usual Thursday luncheon,
gathered at dinner in the Barbara
Worth Hotel LAST evening for the
purpose of meeting with Herbert f.
Harris of Whittier, California, gov
crnor of the second district of
Rotary, comprising California,
Nevada and the Hawaiian group.
Harris, educator and head Of
Whittier College, has travelled wide
ly in many parts of the world in the
interests of Rotary, having Just re-
turned from a visit to the clubs In
Hawaii, and completed, within the
past few months, official visits to
something over 100 individual clubs
within his jurisdiction. In his talk
before the local group last night, his
sincere expressions of philosophy,
coupled with a wealth of human
knowledge and understanding, were
an inspiration to his listeners.
lie pointed out how the dramatic
development of those great ciyiliz-

communication, has created a tre-
mendous need for men everywhere
to meet i'll mutual understanding,
and how the service club movement
is helping to meet this need through
cndeavoring to lead men in "get-
ting along with one another in all
human relationships. He stated that
it is no longer a mere theory that
thoughtfulness for the other fellow
is the only satisfactory basis of
contact, but that this has long since
proven itself, whether applied to re-
Iationships between individuals,
business groups, or nations.
His exposition of what these eff
forts are accomplishing in the cause
of international peace, through
breaking down of barriers of
language, tradition and prejudice,
and of the great changes taking
place in the methods of doing bust
ness, all over the face of the earth,
was vividly presented.
Rotarian George Paulin supplied
the principal entertainment feature
of the evening in group of bari
tone solos, which met an appreci1

California will devote con

Pettitt stated that his company is

talk on team work within the cham

various executives. He also spoke
on pending immigration legislation
and its effects, with which he has
become convcrsant through many,

his talk w. c. Costello, an old
friend of Bristol's told of the worl;
the Nogales Chamber had done un-
der his direction and thanked him
in behalf of our chamber for the
success of the Nogales good will
trip, made last year.
w. w. McEuen recounted q recent
trip he made to the Chocolate
Mountains to look over the land
which is being, sold on the coast rs
Imperial Valley farm land. Me-
Euen said that he made the trip be-
cause of the fact that of the total
instruments recorded at the present
time. % to so percent are deeds on
land outside the present irrigated
area. He found most of the land on
which he had descriptions to be
nils, mountain slopes and even
mountain peaks. 1t is too high for
water to reach and could net b.
farmed if it had water. He pointed
out that every purchaser Of this
land turns into knocker' for
the valley, and urged that steps b.
taken to educate the public on
that territory, \ general discussion,
led by Ira Aten. followed on what
steps could hr taken.

The Rotary Club of Washing.

electrocardiograph apparatus for
the Children's Hospital and also
such other pieces of apparatus as
shall not bring the total expendi-
ture over $500. The Rotary
Club long has been interested in
the Children's Hospital and the

Another enterprise In which
the Rotary Club has decided to
interest itself is the establishing
in Southwest Washington Of D

this purpose $4,000 has been
voted.
These special expenditures are
to be made from the voluntary
subscriptions by members of the
Rotary Club TO what is known as

Any balance which remains from
these subscriptions is to be known
as the Social Service Extension
Fund from which appropriations
may be made to such charitable

Well, the airplane propeller,
working on the same principle
as does the propeller OF large
ocean liner. screws its way into
the air, pulling the plane after
it. AS the plane is pulled through
the air, a movement Of air is
created against the wings.
The faster the screw moves,
the faster the plane is pulled
through the sky. and therefore
the greater the air pressure
against the wings.

landing units.
Before we can take up COM
prehensive study Of the co1ls.~uc-
ton ofthe airplane itself. YOU
must first know something OF the
laws of nature which govern flight
not only Of mar.Tnade craft but
also of the birds Of the air.
It is these laws and conditions
in nature which determine the
various designs and types Of air
craft. This study we shall call the
theory of flight.
We will first concern ourselves
with the attraction Of gravity.
Every mass of matter, everything
that occupies space. If near the
earth and free to move, will fall
in a straight line toward the center
of the earth. The force by which
this motion is produced is called
gravity.
Pull of Gravity Varies
OF course, at the same distance
from the center of the earth, the
amount of the attraction OF gra-
witty is not the same for all OBJ
jects. The attraction Of gravity
varies as does the mass or size
of the object. The amount Of pull
or attraction this force of gravity
has for an object determines its
weight. The greater the amount of
pull, the greater the weight Of an
object.
However. this attraction is
greatest at the earth's surface.
once above the surface Of the
earth, the attraction Of gravity
is less, but at heights at which
it is possible to carry on expert
ments, the variation is very
slight and msr be regarded rs
negligible.
Thus it is evident that one of the
most important forces to be over
come in flying machines is the
attraction of gravity. This force
it must be remembered, always
acts in a perpendicular line to
the earth's horizon. and con-
siderable power has to be utilized
for the sole purpose OF overcorl-
ing 1t.
Motion Of Air Important
AS the force Of gravity must
be overcome, some power must
be found and induced to carry
out this work. In looking about
we find that this force can be
found in the motion of the air,
if put into action In the proper
way.
Air in motion may exert a
considerable force. A breeze, how.
ever, will create only q slight
pressure, while cyclone or hurri.
cane, which means air moving
at the rate of over Is miles pei
hour, creates considerable pres.
sure against objects resisting it,
and often does considerable dam.
age.
Thus in wind or air in motion
we find q very powerful force,
which, once put to work In the
proper way, not only overcornes
the force Of gravity, but has con,
siderable lifting ability left over
which can be put to work carry.
ing out some useful duty.
But, you will say, we do not
always have q wind or breeze Of
sufficient strength to overcome
the force Of gravity. This, in.
deed, is quite true. Therefore,
some means must be found To
Great q wind. This wind or mo.
ton Of air is created by the air

peller.
