GIRL OF 70 HAS
BEST CHANCE
to- WE'D

A girls chances Of marriage fall
off sharply after she reaches the age
Of 25, while the young mans chances
increase for . time after that age.
according to some provocative statis-
tics gathered BY the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company on the prob
ability Of marriage at various ages
from is up.
THE 20-year-old girl has better
chance Of marrying within 10 years
than the young man OF the same age.
BY the time each reaches the age Of
25, however" says the Minneapolis
Star, "the tables are turned, for the
young woman has less chance as
years so by and the young man more
chance to take the marital vows.
I'VE don't quite know what the
moral Of this should be, other than
the obvious advice for girls to marry
when they get q chance and young
men to take their time and be eau
tious."

statistics will be studied feverishly,

A Battle Creek physician says. Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Order lies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the cclon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle. thorough, natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose.

The fuselage, or body of the

part Of the airplane but does not
contribute any of the lift in flight.
It serves as q bracirlg to keep the
wings ana the tail units together.
IT houses the pilot. the motor, the
instruments. the controls, the gas
tanks, the baggage, and In time of
war all the fighting instruments,
such as guns, bombs, etc.
The tail units as named above
help to keep the plane balanced
and serve as the steering end d
the plane.
The landing gear Is that part
on which the plane comes to rest
when it reaches the ground. IL
protects the fuselage in landing

part to play in the flight OF the

The structure Of an airplane,
the motor, and the air in which
the plane is to fly are the three
allimportant factors in determin.
ing the flight of heavier-than-air
craft. without some knowledge
Of these three factors and their
relation one can never clearly
understand flight.
In our study we shall take UP
these factors in the order Of their
Importance, starting with the
structure of the airplane.
There are, of course, many
classes and types of planes, the
structure varing o m W h q t.
These classes and types are so
numerous that we could not con.
veniently describe them all here.
For that reason we shall describe
only those in general use today.
Three Types Of Plane
There are land planes, sea.
planes and amphibians. The dis.
tinction is based on the manner
in which they make their land
ings. This condition alone affects
the entire structure o fthe plane
The amphibian type of plane, as
you may know, makes its land
ingS on either land or water.
The other two types are confined
to landing on land and water
alone.
OF the types of planes in gen
eral use, the monoplane and the
biplane are the most common.
The difference between these
tyyes is in the number Of wings
used. The monoplane has only
one large wing, while the biplane
has two wings, one being directly
over the other.
Most Famous MOnOplane>
Perhaps the most famous mono
plane in the world today Is the
Spirit of st. Louis, which was used
by Colonel Lindbergh in his flight
to Paris In 1927.
The most famous biplane Is the
NC-4, of the seaplane class, which
was the first plane to fly the At
lantic, back in 1919. 1t was
piloted by Lieut.. Walter Hinton.
Both Of these planes are now
in the National Museum here in
Washington.
To take up the study Of the
structure OF the airplane, we will
select a landplane Of the biplane
type. This plane might be con
sidered the average plane as used
in the country today.
The structure of the plane might
be divided into four different di-
visions. These are the wings or
panels. the ruselage or body of

A QeI1nlCe ana lasting Dfeacn
between western insurgents and
Eastern industrialists, it was felt,
would have two catastrophe
effects on the Republican party
in the future:
/. The creation of a third party
In 1882. similar to the Bull Moose
movement of 1912 and with just
as disastrous effects to the Re
publican party. with william E.
Borah, Hiram johnson or George
w. Norris running as an inde-
pendent candidate for president
against President Hoover and
whoever wins the Democratic
nomination. .
2. A bitter war between the op-
posing factions in the senatorial
elections next year, with the
probability of the insurgents win
ming all their elections while de-
feating many Of the So-called
"Old Guard" Republicans who
need independent support to re-
turn to the Senate.
These spectacles thoroughly
alarmed the middle of the road"
Republicans and they anxiously
sought to heal the breach that
has sprung up with startling
swiftness during the tariff war.
One step was a general whisper
ing that Censure Of insurgents
for their stand or the tariff must
stop: that the tariff is local
issue on which the party can
divide as to specific rates; that
peace must be arranged, once the
tariff is enacted or defeated.
Another move was to silence
Senator George H. Moses, of
New Hampshire, chairman of
the Republican Senat orial
Campaign committee who termed
the weSterners sons Of the
wild JackasS." The Moses
"WiSecrack" however was not
deemed important, since even the
insurgents were ready to over
look it.
The cause of the breach lay far
deeper. It was a conviction on the
part of the insurgents that the
Eastern industrialiSts are using the
party machinery for the sole pur-
pose Of benefiting the hugh nj.
dustrial interests of the East while
refusing to render similar govern
mental aid to the agricultural
West.
So, too, greater Importance
was attached to the statement of
Joseph r. Grundy, the grand.
daddy Of all lobbyists" that Ger.
tain Western backward States
should talk darn small in
Congress. These two develop.
mentS were cited by insurgents
as proving their charge that the
Republican party in the indus.
trial East has nothing In com.
mon with the Republican party
in the agricultural West.
Insurgency In Saddle

fight forward and only a miracle
apparently can halt them-will

seek to gain control of, the party
in the 1890 elections, and failing
in this will carry their battle to
the polls in the presidential cleo
tion Of 1882.
II the insurgents do battle to
defeat regulars" in the 1890
| elections, veteran observers pre-
dicted, there will be an entirely
new reallignment of the party
west of the Alleghenies with
numerous middle of the road"
Republicans, throwing their voices,
votes and influence to the in
surgent banner. These middle
of-the-road" Western Republicans
have argued that any other
course will retire them to private
life.
AS for the presidential election
of 1892, the hint that Borah
might run as an independent or
third party candidate for PreSi-
dent has aroused smiles in many
quarters. The smiles were caused
by recollection of the fact that,
in 1912, Borah after vigorously
denouncing the nomination of
William Howard Taft, remained
loyal and faithful to the party
in the following election. Some
observers professed to believe he
would remain loyal to the Re
publican nominee in 1892. re.
gardleSS of interim developments
Ready for Fight
The Insurgents, however, think
differently. They pointed out
that while Borah frequently has
laid down his arms when party
warfare threatened Republican
success, he has shown no hest
fancy to wage relentless war
against his party'S leaders OF
even President Hoover In the
tariff battles. With a great eco
nomic issue at stake, they added
Borah would be eager to lead
a third-party cause.
AS for Norris and johnson
every one seemed to agree they
would be willing ito lead a revolt
movement If the issue were inn
\ portant enough and the stakes
high enough. It was pointed out
that Norris bolted In 1928 to sup
port Alfred e. Smith, the Demo
cratic presidential nominee, while
johnson bolted in 1912 to serve
as the running-mate to the late
Theodore Roosevelt.
A summary of the situation can
be given from interviews with
leaders Of the opposing factions
