half that number during the last
five years, the 1885 Federal Farm
Census revealed today.
The shift is shown in the general
crop plan, but has not affected corn
acreage greatly. Instead, there were
2849, 780 acres Of corn harvested for
grain in 1884 against 3.675,946 acres
IN 1929. Other crop changes since
1890 are the increases Of more than
100000 acres in wheat, about 10000
acres in rye, $4,000 acres in potatoes
and 100000 acres in hay. The de-

The best method to obtain the di-
hedral angle is to place the wing
between two books with the wing
tips supported by the bock pages
at a height of q inch above the
wing center.
1t is advisable to do this work
on a piece Of wax paper, thus pre-
venting wings from adhering to
a firm surface after the ce-
ment has dried The paper can be
readily pulled off and sanded from
the intersection. But, make sure
the cement has hardened before re-
moving from between the books.
Assembling Glider
Now, We ere ready to assemble the
glider. Every effort should be made
TO center each piece accurately so
the glider when completed, will
have perfect balance. Otherwise. it
will dive or dip to the left or right,
and fail to perform as it should.
The first asse milling step is to
cement the rudder vertically to CEN

of trying out new ideas. These mod

behavior of the model is then noted.
not only usually, but with the aid
of many scientific instruments. In
this way, many important discover
les are made.
The building of models, not only
of airplanes, but of all sorts OF
structures, is going on constantly in
scientific laboratories today. Before
a big dam is built today, model
of it is constructed. This is tested
thoroughly before work upon the
actual structure begins.
Scientists, wishing to know how
to combat earthquakes in regions
where they are common, are expert
menting with model b uil ding S
mounted on a table top. Miniature
earthquakes are created by shaking
the table.
The boy who starts building mod
els Of airplanes today has a good
chance of some day being real sci
enlist or engineer. He is getting
some training in one of the most
important branches of the work.
And here's a tip for all model
builders Do the best work you know
how. Turn out the neatest and
finest models you can. And don't
be content merely to build models.
Make sure that you understand
them.
Learn the name and function OF
every part of your model. Study the
way it works.
Then ask yourself if you can
think of a better way of doing it.
That will start you on the road to
being an airplane designer and an
inventor.
Don't let your age worry you. Re
member that the Wright brothers
and Curtiss and the other pioneers
and all the present-day heroes of
the world of aviation were young
themselves once upon a time.

curately in place. This is essential
for as we stressed earlier in this
article, the soaring ability of the
glider depends on the stabilizer.
The rudder will slant slightly for
ward. but will not effect the flight
of the ship.
Next, fit the wing in the wing slot
of the fuselage and cement in place.
1t must extend equal distance on
both sides. This point is important
for perfect balance. After cement is
thoroughly dried, sandpaper glider
carefully to remove all traces Of
cement.
Ready for Flight
Your glider is now completed and
you are ready to test it's flight abil-
ity.
Place paper clip on the nose
Of the fuselage as illustrated. This
is necessary because air currents
change in pressure or strength each
day according to climatic condi-
tons and it is always necessary to
have the weight or balance of the
model just in front of this pressure
Otherwise, the wind or air current
would blow the nose of the fuselage
skyward and the glider would 20
into a tail spin, or, if the weight
was too far forward it would go into
a nose dive.
For that reason, this clip should
be adjusted according to the
weather conditions. On windy days
pull out for balance and for calm
days, place as far in as possible on
fuselage.
In launching the glider, grasp the
fuselage with the thumb and fore
finger under the wing and toss
easily into the air. 1t needs only
enough force to be caught by the
air current, after which it will soai
and float on the wind.
If it loops to the right, or left
examine the wings Of the mode
carefully and you will probably fine
that they are warped This may
be corrected by twisting wings
slightly with fingers.
The builder, through trial fights
will soon learn the peculiaritles OF
his own model and can correct
them. A little experimenting with
position of paper clips will help to
get more perfect flights.

Model airplane building has a
wide appeal for the youth of today
Youthful junior pilots enjoy the
same thrills and experiences in
building and flying models that
senior pilots encounter Il building
and flying large craft. The junior
pilot visualizes his feats in large
plane results.
But the beginner must start by
building more simple models in or
der to learn the fundamentals Of
flight and other tricks of construc-
ton.
This article will describe and il
lustrate how to build the simplest
Of model aircraft conStruction-the
hand glider.
1t is built entirely of balsa wood.
An ordinary razor blade, a pencil,
ruler and a small piece Of fine sand
paper, preferably No 90, are the
only tools necessary.
The materials needed are mex
pensive and can be purchased at
any model supply store or large de-
partment store handling aircraft
toys, for only 2 few pennies. One
piece of balsa wood 1-16 inch by 2
inches by 10 inches, 2-dram bot
tie of quick drying cement and an
ordinary wire paper clip are all you
need.
When you have these materials
you are ready to start construction
C the glider.
Building Directions
Now place the large piece of
balSa wood on fiat table and with
a sharp, soft lead pencil draw the
outlines of the wing, stabilizer, rud-
der and two fuselage pieces on the
wood, according to the dimensions
in illustration above. Be sure to
have the slots in the fuselage pieces
for the wing and Stabilizer accurate.
1t is the slant of the stabilizer slot
that controls the soaring ability of
the glider
After outlining these five pieces
on the balsa wood. cut them out
with a razor blade, being very care
full not to split the wood, especially
along the slotted edge of the fusel-
age.
The fuSelage is built from two
duplicate pieces so we will complete
it first by cementing them together.
After allowing it to dry thoroughly,
sandpaper, cement and rough edges.
Shaping the Wing
The wing is the next construc-
ton step. 1t should be tapered
slightly from the center to the wing
tips. Then give it the proper cam
Der or curve, from leading edge
fronD to trailing edge (back) as
shown in cross-section illustration
above.
After it is formed, cut the wing
crossways, half way through from
bottom with razor blade. Crack
carefully between fingers, but do not
break apart and fill the crack with
cement, raising che tips of the wings
q inch above center for dihedral
angle and let dry Apply a light
coat of cement over the dihedral
crease on the 80 side of the wing
to strengthen t. angle.

ALL Who Make
MODELS AIDED
Junior and Senior Divisions
Assure Fair Basis of
Competition.

Youths who have been construct
ing flying and Notifying airplane
models for years may derive valu-
able benefits through joining the
ScrippS- Howard indianapolis Times
Junior Aviator organization.
While the first sketches and spe-
cificatiOns to appear weekly in The
Times will cover gliders, stick mod
els and the most simple commercial
fuselage planes, additional details
will be for more experienced mem
bers.
One feature will be the list Of
models included in the plans for
the second annual National Junior
Air Races to be held next summer.
Experienced members now may
direct their attention to construc-
ton of speed or endurance planes.
Some will want to build planes ca
pable of aerial acrobatics. For one
air race division covers this type of
model
When forming Flights" of 10
members in the various neighbor-
hoods, experienced members will
want to unite with others who plan
to do the same type of work.
An opportunity to win hOnors and
silver and gold wings will be given
members through a novel hour
minute" plan of flying their model
planes.
Senior pilots win their licenses
through Soloing so many hours in
the air. Junior pilots will win spe-
cial notice and pilot licenses" under
the Junior Aviator plan, through
flying their models SO many hour
minutes. In other words a min
ute for a junior plane will become a
matter of hours for a senior plane.
Ten hour minutes in the air will
mean the same as so hours in the
air for a senior plane.
Flying solo" will be done under
the supervision of Flight" COM
manders and each junior pilot will
keep log book of hour minutes
just as senior pilot keeps a rec
ord of his solo hours.
Watch Junior Aviator news in
The Times every Cay, as interest
ing developments will be published
regularly.

FLYING FACTS

Gambler is the curve of the
top Of ne wing from the lead
ing edge to the trailing edge.
DIHEDRAL ANGLE is the
angle at which the tips of the
wings are vertically tilted
from its own center. The
dihedral angle insures the
plane stability in flight and
prevents slipping"
LEADING EDGE is the front
edge of the wing structure.
RUDDER is the vertical unit
on the tail of the fuselage at
tached to the stabilizer. 1t
guides the plane in flight.
STARILIZER is the horizon
tai unit on the tail of the fuse
lage. 1t maintains the equili-
brium Of the plane while fly

SWEEPBACK is the hori-
zontal angle at which the wing
tips extend back from the
leading edge.
TRAILING EDGE is the
back edge of the wing struc-
ture.
