AUTOGIRO WAS BORN FROM
WRECK OF BOMBING PLANE

ter Of gravity so that. when the DOW
CT driving the conventional propeller
in the nose OF the ship is shut off. an
autogiro will assume a natural gliding
angle.
Each blade is hinged two ways, for
limited up and down and fore and
aft movement. "Droop" cables keep
them from falling when the machine
is at rest on the ground.
AS the blades rotate in flight they
cone slightly upwards, assuming a
balanced position between their tend
ency from centrifugal force to be
straight out horizontally and the lift
forces acting to pull them upward.
Ringing Prevents Tipping
If it were not for Ringing. the ma
chine would tip in flight as the lift
forces On an advancing blade would
be greater because the airspeed
would be greater from forward move
ment, both of blade and autogiro,
while a receding blade would be 60
ing "doWnwind" and be less effec-
tive.
The hinges allow each advancing
blade to rise automatically, in effect
causing less lift, while each blade
in receding descends and causes
greater lift.
In vertical descent the lift forces
on each blade are equal.
The small fixed wings Of the auto
giro, with upturned tips, serve main
ly to provide lateral stability and
carry the ailerons and the wide un-
dercarriage.

Air Machine Which Can Travel
Slowly Results from Span
iard's Discovery

Philadelphia, July 9.-(P,-A COM
parative newcomer in aviation, the
autogiro, was born from the wreck of
an airplane.
It's elevation to public interest is
recent. heralded by production of two
and three-place models for the pri-
vate and sport filler, delivery of one to
the navy for military experiment, and
plans for autogiro cabin planes and
flying boats abroad.
Yet its history reaches to 1919
when a Spanish inventor, Juan de la
Cierva, saw a three-engine bomber
he had designed for his nations air
force wrecked when its pilot flew it
too slowly close to the ground.
He set about to discover an entire
ly new principle of flight by which
machines would be capable of flying
slowly and safely as well as fast and
far.
Bugbear Harnessed
He found 1t in authorization, con-
verting to a useful purpose what al
ways had been a bugbear to heavier
than-air craft In the form of the
deadly spin-the very thing that end
ed the days Of his bomber.
In place Of the fixed wings of the
ordinary airplane, he adopted a sys-
TEN OF rotating wings, the power for
their rotation to be taken from the
air reaction on the wings themselves.
His first full size ship, built in 1922,
had two sets OF two blades each, ro-
tated horizontally in opposite direc-
lions. 1t was unsuccessful, and it was
not until 1923. with a rotor of four
blades, that the first autogiro flight
was made.
Paddles Provide Lift
Where a fixed wing airplane de-
rlves its lift from high forward speed,
the autogiro derives 30 per cent of
its lift in flight and 100 per cent in
vertical descent from it's whirling
paddles"
This "buoyancy" enables the craft
to take off with a short run and to
land ION it's own shadow"
The paddles" are long, narrow
blades shaped in cross section like
an airp!ane wing. They are whirled
by the air reactions upon them, never
receiving any power from the engine
in flight.
The engine serves only to drive
the propeller for forward progress
OF the machine and is connected with
the paddles only on the ground to
set them to whirling to a speed of
120-l50 revolutions a minute.
The bladed rotor system is mounted
on a hub set a little behind the CEN

Evil Mindedness

That ignorant suspicion. that self
ish jealousy and that lack of faith
in each other which is characteristic
of the black race is that which we,
the black people ourselves, have
termed evil-mindedness" 1t is a
we'll known accusation made by the
black man against himself that he is
evil. When they used to say that
"black evil' they meant that things
black were tainted with mysticism,
that they savored of the wicked,
that darkness was associated with
crime. Continuation and black magic
gave the tinge of evil to things of
ebony hue. but now with the advance
of civilization and the growth of in
telligence nobody thinks that black
is evil except those who have re-
NAMED sedentary while humanity
marched forward, but they do yet
cry that we are "evil-minded.
We have among us those who bite
the feeding hands, who mistrust their
own benefactors, those who create
imaginary enemies and magnify their
woes, those who misconstrue every
honest motive intended to benefit
them. Thew are the evil-minded who
are so well known by the members of
our race.
The race of American black people
is infested with those people who
have distorted minds, they are easily
offended and they go around looking
for the weakness in everything and
fail to see its potentialities. These
people positively and absolutely are
unwilling to think straight for that
reason, if for none other; it is ex-
tremely difficult to cement the great
cleavage that keeps us separated
upon those matters which affect us
so vitality. Honest differences of
opinion can be condemned by no
man, but the constitutionally dis
gruntled, the distrusting and suspi-
cious type is one of the greatest liza
bilities of our people.
If the mass mind is evil and dis
trusting, then the unification of
forces and ideals is made impossible
and those metaphvsicians of OURS who
wish straight-thinking and mass ac-
ton had better begin to work on the
minds of our people. When our
minds are made to function correct
Nv our actions will count for more
At the present time our "evil-mind-
edness" is vitiating all efforts toward
solidarity and cohesion.

ably is acceptable to some. Yet, out
side the pale of the infirmary We
believe, with Will Rogers, that we
are as "young as we feer'. Much of
youths fling, especially Negro youth,
tends to delay the onward march of
the race. Failure to take interest in
economic development will, in the
final analysis, find floundring ships
on the sea of life. Pointing out the
shortcomings of the elders does not
justify the indifference of youth.
Tomorrow's adversely welcomes idle
hands and minds, and the respect of
the world is lost as the penalty for
unpreparedness. Race prejudice is
not the only menace. The world is
ours for the taking. Why not get in

ing fellow who intends to marry
Ruby. She is the typical working
girl who holds herself together, and
upon whom many so-called big Me-
groes are disposed to look down

basis for any criticism directed
against Ruby on the air or off. So
far as anybody can reasonably imag-
inc, she is fine example of very
fine working girl.
'BROTHER CRAWFORD"
Brother Crawford is a very in
teresting type of Negro. He is just
slight counterpart of "Jiggs" in
Bringing Up Father" (Wonder II
the self-respect campaigners would
condemn that cartoon If Maggie and
Jiggs had black faces?) Bro. Craw-
ford's diction is above the average,
and his determination to succeed In
spite of a tigress for a wife might
serve as an incentive to many folks
we happen to know. And this char
acter is found in real life every day
in the year-white folks and Ne
groes. Because he happens to be
Negro is no just cause for con-
domination.
Brother Crawford has family trou-
bles under which he stands up with
far more courage than the average
man of any race. The picture Is by
no means overdrawn or untrue to
life because it happens to be a part
of the Amos m Andy skit.

1.-THE KING FISH"

InE hlNu FISH
The mighty King Fish, head of
the lodge. What can be said of
him? What lessons do we get? He
is just typical of the shrewd Negro
fraternal leader and schemer who
uses his wits to collect moneys from
''the brothers" and then diverts 1t
to his own purposes. He always has
some proposition which he desires
to have somebody "get in on"
We do not condemn Negro fra
ternal orders. They have done fine
piece of work-cementing and hold
ing together what was once a COM
pletely disorganized people. We do
not condemn the King Fishes who
exploit the brothers and wreck ev-
erything they put their hands in or
On-who in the name of brotherly
love pull Off some monumental
crimes. The password with these
sharks is MONEY, and besides that,
they don't give a rap about the
brethren.
What about those great fraternal
leaders in Alabama whose escapades
were completely aired in the courts
of that state and which is a mat
ter of common knowledge to all
X. P. brethren everywhere? How
much of the peoples money was
wasted, literally paid out to lawyers
and to others trying to maintain a
stranglehold on the source of their
pickings?
And yet when a very mild ex-
ample by comparison is put on the
air by Amos m Andy, our self-re-
spect campaigners go crazy with
protest, but mary word" do they
have to say about these King Fishes
operating in real fraternities thru
out the country.
Let newspapers and preachers
talk self-respect and honesty to
these fraternity wreckers all the
time, and drive such characters
from the organizations which they
use to feather their own nests at
the expense of the hard working
brethren, their wives and children.
