and places the lifting wires under
tension. The lift on the lower
Spars imposes compression
strain on the inter-wing struts. so
under this condition. the top
spars are in compression while
the lower ones are under tension.
When the airplane is landing
or at rest upon the field, the top
wing spars are in tension and the
bottom wing SparS are under
compression. Thus it might be
readily seen that the interwing
struts are always under compress
sion.

How TO Fly
LESSON NO. 20
Of The Washington Times Flying Club
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
AerOmGuticGL Engineer

That the wings Of a biplane
could be braced independently
Of the fuselage you learned in 7
previous lesson. From the dia-
gram given today you will better
understand just how this is made
possible.
The forces in action upon the
wings of an airplane in flight
are of course somewhat different
from those acting upon the wings
when the airplane is in the pro
cess of landing.
The lift exerted on the wings
in flight will tend to force them
up, while at the same time, the
weight of the fuselage tends to
force them down at the center.
AS a result, these two forces, in
action at the same time, exert
tendency for the wings to fold
up and the fuSelage to sink in.
Thus, it is quite evident that
bracing is necessary to prevent
this action. This bracing is done
by wires.
When the plane is in flight
the load is carried by only one
set of wires, known, therefore, as
the lifting wires" The remain
ing set Of opposing wires do not
carry any of the load in flight
but come into action after the
wings have lost their lifting
effect; that is, when the airplane
is landing. These wires are
therefore known as the landing
wires"
A close study should be made
Of the diagram given with this
lesson. Use your imagination to
picture the actions upon these
wings as the plane is flying and
as it is landing or at rest upon
the earth. Such a picture will
nelp you to understand just what
takes place about the bracing as
to the distribution of forces.
AS for the action upon the
wings, struts. and Spars it is also
very important that you know
their duties or reactions under
the conditions of flying and
landing.

A New Year crosses the
threshold of time with the news
of the hour taking on the habili-
ments of the commonplace.
1t is typical Of a dull season
in the Capital that q familiar
prohibition argument can be in
flated into the status Of ma.
tional story" It is almost the
only thing which has been agi-
tating officialdom since Congress
adjourned before Christmas.
The dryS are falling out among
themselves as to whether there
is sincere enforcement Of the
Volstead act. Senator Borah
oracularly says there isn't, but
some other leading drys dispute
this. The Idahoan says the
Prohibition Enforcement Unit
should be reorganized from top
to bottom. He has told President
Hoover so. But the President is
in no hurry to take BoratI'S
advice.
AS to the vets, they assert that
the situation shows the law to be
unenforceable.
international jockeying in ad-
vance of the London conference
for the limitation of naval arma-
ment has put a further damper
on the prospect Of a really effec-
tive agreement being arrived at
in the conclave.
France is aggressive in assert
ing her claims. based upon the
principle Of national security"
and denying that the Kellogg
anti-war treaty is a sufficient
guarantee Of security to be used
as the basis Of a naval agree
ment.
The French want free hand
in the building of submarines or
Of any other vessels she requires
to offset the pretensionS of Italy
IN the Mediterranean. The United
States is not directly concerned
withs the French claims; but it is
feared that Great Britain will
never be able to accede to the
Tardieu program.
President Hoover is addicted to
making surprise appointments.
None, however, that has come
from the White House gave Off
cialdom more of a real caught
mapping" feeling than his choice
of Senator Frederic M. Sackett
Of Kentucky to be ambassador to
Germany.
The appointment had a politi-
cal background. inasmuch as a
rift in G. O. p. ranks in Ken
lucky threatened the defeat of
Senator Sackett next November.
Another important appointment
which the President made during
the past week is the retention of
Joseph B. Eastman as chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Reactionary railroad
men are greatly diSgruntled.
There is real dissatisfaction,
also, in the State Department

MOD|F led
DRY LAW
SOUGHT

An ambitious program designed
20 halt the alleged invasion Of
the constitutional rights of cit
liens in enforcement of the
prohibition law and ultimately to
bring about modification Of the
VolStead Act Is being developed
sAby congressional "wets," it was
disclosed today.
This is the answer Of the anti
prohibitionists to the plans Of the
administration to reorganize the
whole system of dry law enforce
ment, and the controversy raging
among Senate drys.
Wet Platform Shaped
The wet" campaign is ex-
pected to bring before Congress
and the country for the first
time since national prohibition
became effective, real wet
platform" around which all
liberals may rally.
During the entire congressional
war over prohibition, 1t is pointed
out by leading "wets," there
never has been a concrete pro-
gram presented in opposition to
the dry forces, and the wet" op-
position has been largely con-
fined to sniping.
Among the planks. which may
be included in the wet plat
form" are:
Legislation providing heavy
penalties for prohibition Of
ficers who violate the cOnstitu-
tionaI guarantees against search
and seizure in raids.
Referendum Considered
Modification of Section 5S1
Of the tariff act of 1922 under
which it is alleged, the coast
guard and customs officers
have virtual wartime powers to
shoot and kill suspects.
Measure indemnifying limo
cent victims of the bullets OF
enforcement officers.
Bill prohibiting telephone and
telegraph overlapping to OBJ
tain evidence, as an invasion o!
personal liberties guaranteed
the individual under the cOnstl-
tuition. The supreme court has
held wire tapping legal.
Modification Of VOlStead law
and provision for taking Of a
nationwide "wet" and "dry"
referendum as a part Of the
1880 census also may become
mart of the platform.
"I am confident the anti-prohi-
bitionists of the House will pre-
sent a real wet platform to Con-
gress and the nation in the near
future" said Representative
Schafer tRO of Wisconsin,, ex-
planning the plan.
Several methods of modifying
the Volstead Act will be con-
sidered. 1 shall advocate a pro-
gram in line with the temperance
plan of Justice Franklin Chase
hoyt, of New York, in the Hearst
papers contest.
Curb Sought ON Guns
"Repeal or modification of sec
ton 581 of the Tariff Act OF 1922
certainly will be urged. Under
this provision and the present
Interpretation, customs officers
have powers equal to sentries in
war time. They may shoot if
someone fails to stop at their
command. Abuse of this has
already led to the killing of many
innocent people.
1.-THE criticism of Judge McCor-
mick of the Presidents law en-
forcement commission of the H.
legal acts of prohibition officers
and their failure to recognize the
doctrine that a mans home Is
his castle will be the subject of
another plank.
"The vets never have and
never will attempt to block the
reasonable demands of Govern
ment agencies charged with ad-
ministration of the law. Some
anti-prohibitions would aporo-
pirate hundreds of millions just
to prove the law can't be ell
forced. l am opposed to pouring
the taxpayers money down a
sewer"
