Some of you seasoned veterans

do some of the old-timers to go over
these fundamentals.
But record flights are what we
like to hear Junior Aviators talk
about. And record fights are due
to the efficiency of the model. So
in todays story we are going to de-

BIRTH CONTROL
BATTLE RACES
IN HOUSE QUIZ
Mrs. Sanger Calls Farley
Unfair; Pleads for
Use of Mails.

BIZ scripps-Roicard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. April 6.-Post-
master General James A. Farley
today stood accused Of "unfairness"
in admitting TO the mails The
Rhythm" manual which deals
with preventing conception, while
barring other treaties Of birth con-
troll.
The charge was made by Mrs.
Margaret Sanger. noted birth-con-
troll advocate. before the House Post
ONCE Committee, which was consid-
ering a bill proposed by the Post
Office Department for more effective
prosecutions under the so-cailed
"obscenity'' statute. This law,
passed 81 years ago, Classics birth
control literature and devices as
obscene matter.
The Rhythm" issued with &c
clesiastical appreciation" according
to Mrs. Sanger, was ruled mailable
by the Postoffice Department Feb.
20, 1884. A few days later. on March
9, the department refused to sane
ton a technical text, Understandable
only to physicians. on the same sub
ject.
THE Rhythm" Under Fire
Mrs. Sanger said THE Rhythm"
purports to explain method of de-
termining to the hour and minute
the sterile period of women each
month.
DR.. Eric M. Matsner of New York,
medical director OF the American
Birth Control League, criticised I'M
limited dissemination of The
Rhythm" and testified that he
knew of a case where its circulation
among high school girls led to an
increased incidence Of pregnancies.
He, like Mrs. Sanger, advocated an
amendment legalizing the limited
mailing Of birth-control advice and
devices by exempting physicians,
hospitals and clinics from the g.
year-old obscenity law.
Another physician, DR.. Prentice
Wilson of Washington, supporting
the amendment, said that present
birth rates among families on relief
were 80 1-3 per cent higher than
among non-relief families.
Congressman Give Support
Rep. Waller M. Pierce 3D., Ore) &,
who proposed the amendment, and
Reps. Lister Hill Cd, Wash), Percy
Lee Gassaway Cd, Okla) and John
@. Utterback Cd, la all supported
the contention of Mrs. Sanger.
The picturesque and booted Judge
Gassaway said the highest class of
people in Oklahoma" have told him
they favor such legislation, and that
his own experience of many years as
lawyer and judge "haS convinced me
that we should at least let the eth
ical medical men handle these mat
ters."
G. L. williams of the Postoffice
Departments inspection division
said the bill as proposed would cover
birth-control devices, although he
insisted the department was chiefly
concerned with a flood of obscene
literature.
Postmaster General Farley said
later he did not know about THE
Rhythm" but would look into the
matter.

Chief Of Air Service
Scripps- Howard Junior Aviator
YOU'VE all heard of the opera
l. ton of refueling aircraft in the
air. >. Well, it's very interesting
task and one requiring great deal
of smart plotting and keen judgment
of speed and distance.
Not long ago two British airmen,
Sir Allen Gotham and Squadron
Leader Helmore, set out from Eng
land to fly to India without land
ing. They planned to refuel their
ship from another plane over the
Island of Malta in the Mediter-
ranean. Arriving there, they found
the refueling ship in the air at the
designated altitude. Now for the
job of refueling.
Gotham flew his ship so feet be-
low the gas tanker. Helmore opened
a hatch in the top of the fuselage
and stood ready to guide the hose
into the gas tank. A string carry
ing toy balloon, half-f1lled with
water, was let down from the refuel-
ing ship and by means of this
Helmore pulled in the hose and
showed the nozzle into the almost
empty gasoline tanks.
About 100 gallons were taken
aboard and the operation Just
about completed when a tiny
pin which connected Cobhams
throttle lever with the carburetor,
slipped out of place and the motor
shut down. The hose pipe was jerked
out Of Helmore's hands, still shoot
ing out stream of gasoline. The
plane was quite distance from
Malta and Gotham doubted his abil-
ity to stretch a glide to the island.
His first thought was to let down
the landing gear to normal posi-
ton but second and smarter
thought convinced him the added
resistance of the lowered landing
gear would cut short his glide. SO
-. up came the landing gear again!
And freed of this resistance, the
ship sailed over the water to the
island, skinned over houses, bar
racks, walls. And with no time to
lower the landing gear again, Cob
ham landed the ship safely on its
"tumny." The damage was just
few scratches along the bottom.
Question: What is the angle of
attack?
The acute angle of an airfoil and
its direction of motion relative to
the air.

TINY PLANES TO
SPAN CONTINENT
IN AIR DERBY
Thrilling Transcontinental
Event Arranged for
Junior AviatorS.

Plans for a thrilling transcon-
tinental air derby. twice spanning
the United States from ocean to
ocean, have been announced for
Scripps- Howard Junior Aviators.
Strange as it may seem, the air
derby will be run with model planes
and every one of the tens of thou
sands of Junior Aviators in the
country will have an opportunity to
participate.
Both stick models and built-ur
enclosed fuselage models will be
used and builders of the best flying
models in each city will take part
in the derby.
Aviators Urged to Start
Details of the big race will be
announced from day to day in The
Times but, meantime, Junior Avi-
ators are urged to begin construc-
ton of their racing planes without
delay.
Two finalists from each Junior
Aviator city are to be selected. They
will be the builders of the stick
model and fuselage model planes
that establish the best endurance
marks during the preliminary con-
tests in each city.
Junior Aviators are urged to lead
the followir g specifications carefully
and then begin construction Of their
racers.
Stick Model Construction
Derby entries of this type must
be single member or open frame
work body, rather than fuselage.
Tube or hollow member construc-
ton for the frame, or ships not
meeting the fuselage type require
ments, are included in this group.
Motors may be inclosed in tubes or
built up members.
The effective main supporting
surfaces (wings) shall be not less
than 100 square inches nor more
than 300 square inches in area.
Models shall weigh, ready to fly, at
least one ounce for each so square
inches of wing area.
Commercial Type Models
Derby entries of this type must he
of built-up inclosed fuselage design.
The minimum area of the maximum
cross-section of the fuSelage must
correspond to the formula l. squared
divided by 100 where L equals the
overall length of the model, ex-
Guiding the propeller.
The fuselage shall be of approx
mate streamline form and have not
less than 90 per cent of its sur
face covered. Outriggers and booms
may be used on fuselage type mod
els. The fuselage shall be a Struc-
ture which supports the motor,
wings, empennage and landing gear.
One Inch Wheels
Wheels must be not less than one
inch in diameter. When rubber is
used for the motive power it shall be
contained entirely within the fuse
lage. Wing area is not to exceed $50
square inches and shall not be less
than 100 square inches.
Models must weigh not less than
one ounce for every so square inches
of wing area, including propeller
unit, and all parts used in flight.
So choose your type of plane,
Junior AviatorS, begin construction
and then watch The Times every
day for more details.
It's going to be an easy contest
but aplenty of fun is promised. Rec
ordS for outdoor flying are expected
to be broken.

touch with the Junior Aviator
Editor.

new RULER OF

VISITS NIPPON
Japanese Peek From Behind
Closed Blinds at Martial
Procession.
BIZ United presa

By United Press
TOXIC, April 6.-Many a Japan
csc peeked from behind the drawn
shades of buildings along a guarded
route from the Toxic railroad sta
ton to the Akasaka Palace today to
see the triumphal procession escort
ing Emperor Kang Teh, ruler of
Manchoukuo and guest of the jap
anese empire on his first official
visit to Nippon.
The bespectacled youth who sits
on the worlds newest throne rode in
a red carriage drawn by eight white
horses.
Japanese cavalry, their sabers
clanking and glinting in the sun
light, formed his escort.
Young Rulers Meet
IL the procession were the auto
mobiles of the official reception
committee, headed by Baron Con-
suke Hayashi, privy councillor and
one-time ambassador to the Court
of st. James.
AS the procession moved away
from the station in one direction,
swanky shining automobile took
Emperor Hirohito, youthful ruler of
Japan's millions, to his own palace
in another.
The young rulers, one heading one
of the worlds oldest empires and
the other its youngest, met for the
first time in the drab surroundings
of the railroad station.
They we're introduced formally by
Prince Chichibu, Hirohito'S brother
Emperors Exchange Greeting
The emperors, each in formal court
dress and wearing horn-rimmed
spectacles, clasped hands warmly
and exchanged pleasantries before
parting.
They will meet again when
Hirohito, SCATTERING precedent, goes
to the Akasaka Palace to pin on the
thin chest of his frail guest the
Order of the ChrySanthemum
Japan's highest honor. In return
the former Henry Pu-Yi, last ruler
of China and first Of Manchoukuo
will go to the japanese Imperial
Palace to invest Hirohito in the
Order of the Orchid.
The same high honorS always
given members of the Japanese i'm
perial family were paid today to the
youth who was born in the royal
quarters of Chinese emperorS.
Blinds Ordered Drawn
Police ordered householders to
draw the blinds on all buildings
along the railroad route from Yoko-
hama, where Kang Teh landed, and
Toxic and from the railroad station
to the palace which will be his
quarters.
AS he stepped on Japan's soil at
Yokohama from the warship Hiyei
the reception committee paid him
the tribute of few minutes of
silence, then joined in Justify as a
band played the national anthem
of Manchoukuo. simultaneously
school children in every town in
Japan raised their piping voices in
a hymn of praise and welcome.
Kang Teh will remain in Japan
several weeks, spending at least one
in formal functions at the imperial
residence in Toxic, then visiting
some of the provinces before re-
turning to his own land.

smoothly twists into one roll after
another.
A lubricant placed on the rubber
before winding will also aid the
model in getting greater motor eff
cheney. This reduces the friction of
the rubber in untwisting and also
keeps the rubber from sticking to-
gether, thereby increasing the power.
Another simple winder can be
made from an ordinary geared drill
brace, which can be purchased at
most any hardware store. Simply
make a hook from piece of heavy
wire and place it in the mouth of
the brace in place of drill.
There are many other ways of i'm
proving the efficiency of your model
and in other articles to follow we will
detail them for the model builder.

metal which can be easily soldered /;
form two wire fittings to attach to
the shaft ends as illustrated. Care
must be taken so that the points of
center of the wire fittings will re-
volve as a point and not off center.
In event, however, that the metal
spoon strips of the beaten are made
of aluminium, as is often the case, it
will be found difficult to solder on
the wire fittings. Therefore, this
fitting can be fastened to the strips
by boring small holes in them and
twisting the wire into the shape
shown in Fig. 3.
This completes very satisfactory
winder. Many model builders prefer
to build a special handle for a more
comfortable grip which is usually of
their own design, but this original
handle works very well.
Form "S' Hook
In order to attach the rubber mo-
tor ends to the winder, ar IS" hook
must be made. 1t is called such due
to the fact that it is shaped like the
letter "S," as show in Fig. 4. 1t is
bent from regular music wire which
we have used on numerous occasions
before in constructing models in this
series.
When using the winding device on
your motor, another person is al
ways required to help. One winds
and the other holds the model as

plif1es the task, out adds to the
efficiency because with winder the
rubber can be stretched and wound
to its maximum.
A geared winder made from an
egg beater, purchased from almost
any and 10-cent store, is probably
the easiest and cheapest to build.
1t is made for winding two pro-
pellers which need be turned in OPP
posite directions, like those of twin
tractor or pusher. But for a single
propeller model such as we have
been building in this series, only one
shaft need be used.
The drawing above shows a typi-
cal egg beaten as it comes from the
store. To make the winder, the
whirling spoons are cut off where
indicated by the line. AS shown in
Figure 1, one of these metal strips
is cut shorter than the other to allow
for overlapping.
This cutting can best be done by
clamping the egg-beater in a wise
and saving through with a hack
saw. Having severed the beaters
and cut the shafts, next drill holes
through the metal strips.
Use drill large enough to make
a hole through which the gear shafts
may pass. Bend the metal strips
back to the holes using long-nosed
pliers so that when bent inward
they will appear as in Figure 2. The
two holes must be in line.
