Chief of Air Service.

MAN has another desire to salts
IVA fly before he is through flying
besides penetrating the outer regions
of the universe; that is, to be able
to step to a hat rack, fasten some
ingenious COntraption to his Shout
ders, open the window, perch or
the sill and launch himself into the
air
And I don't think the time when
he will be able to do that is so very
far away.
To accomplish that type of fly
ing we will have to go back to ma
ture and study bird structure and
bird flight. Some of our people al
ready are picking away at that
problem-thcir first efforts are
rather crude and take the shape OF
stunts-but at least something is be-
ing done in the direction of devel-
oping individual wings.
Some weeks ago a German aero
naut actually flew an airplane that
was driven by his own leg power
he had a bicycle-like arrangement
to turn the propeller. At the last
national air races in Cleveland our
own adventurous parachute jumper
Glen Sohn, leaped from an airplane
at an altitude of 10000 feet, spread
his arms and legs and began to di-
rect his flight course through the
sky
SJiln wears a specially constructed
SUIT with webbing between the legs
and a pair of canvas wings sewn to
the inner sides Of his sleeves and
the body of the suit. He fell for
thousands of feet, and it was q
queer and weird sight to watch :hiS
bat form of birdman change his
course from straight line fall
toward the earth. The scene could
well have been taken from prehis-
toric times when the earth was
young and nature had not settled
down to standardized practicable
type :. when pterodactylS swooshed
through the heavens and weird
monsters stalked and dragged
themselves across the earth.
A strange and prophetic sight was
Sohns black figure as it scared and
gIded through the blue afternoon
sky. 1t was binding look into the
future.

IT Asst week we listed the instruc-
- tons and details for building
the fuselage and tail unit Of the
Gull Wing Commercial. Today we
will complete the model by build
ing the wing.
WING-The wing ribs are cut
from 1-32-inch fiat balsa as illus
trated. The trailing edge is cut
from 116-inch balsa, leading edge
from 16-inch balsa and the
tips from lis fiat balsa. Build the
two sections of the wing as illus
trated and cement them together,
with wire mounts bent from No. IL
music wire. Cover both sides with
japanese tissue and spray with
water to tighten paper.
ASEMBLY-The wing is fastened
to the fuselage by means of a rub
Der loop.
MOTOR-The motor of this model
consists of four loops Of 1-16-inch
fiat rubber.
FLYING-Test the model with
several trial glides to determine the
proper location of the wing, then
wind and launch.

LABOR LEADERS EVADE
CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE
Proposal for Change in Federal Doc
ument Rejected.

By United Press
ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 12.-The
high command of the American
Federation of Labor today rejected
proposals for a drastic pronounce
ment favoring a change in the
Federal Constitution.
Despite extreme pressure from
factions within the federation, the
leaders decided to evade the issue
for the time being, if possible. This
attitude may bring a rousing floor
dispute when the federation's con-
vention, which last night ended its
first week, goes into the more con-
troversial sessions next Monday.

The majority of these ships are
so radically different from all other
aircraft that some look like the
products of future age, while 9TH
ers appear more like creatures of a
prehistoric era.
One can never tell what new and
important development will evolve
from an original design, and it is
with this thought in mind that the
ScrippS Howard Junior Aviator in
cludes an original design contest in
the Junior National Air Races each
year.
Many inventors, as we'll as model
builders who fly the colorS of the
various Junior Aviator organiza-
tionS, have constructed types that
they hope may become a reality in
years to come, airlinerS, helicopter
type planes and some with conical
SpindleS instead of wings are among
the many types displayed by these
builders.
During the next three weeks, pic
lures Of these various freak" mod
els will be shown on the Junior
Aviation page of The Times, and
members of the Junior Aviator
Squadrons should benefit in seeing
the ideas Of model builders from all
over the world.

their own in big city. Dover. 20 to the
Golden Feather night club. Bobby pro-
poses to Jean. He is refused until he is

Jean are sitting at their table when
Larry Glenn, Government emplOye
and an old friend from home. comes
up. He warns them about visiting places
like the Golden Feather. Bobby and
Jean leave and Glenn is greeted by his
friend, Deteetive-Sergt. Mike Hagen.
Larry tells Mike about a bank holdup
gang he is hunting. One of the members
a man with one finger missing, is known
to associate with a former burlesque

THAT night she went out to din
l. ner with Bobby. But whereas
Conscience, on their last date, had
caused her to be especially nice to
him, it all seemed to work with re-
verse English this time, and she
found herself being irritable and
diSagreeable.
AS they were finishing their des-
sert, Bobby looked at her anxiously.
What's the matter tonight,
honey?" he asked. Aren't you
feeling well?"
I'm all right" she said. Just
just a little tired, or something, I
guess"
He looked at her fondly.
You're working too hard" he
announced. Honey, when YOU 60

She flushed with pleasure. She
did look nice-her own mirror had
frankly told her so. And it was a
wonderful day to be riding, and the
wind made her cheeks glow and
her eyes sparkle, and Sandy was

son. she laughed, and uncon-
sciously settled down a little nearer

D. c. Traffic Toll
Rises to II Deaths

Washington's traffic death toll
mounted to II for the year to-
day with the death yesterday of
a colored woman injured in an
automobile crash a month ago.
Mrs. Annie Mack, so, who died
in her home at 1416 South Caro-
lima Ave. s. E., was injured when
the automobile in which she was
a passenger collided with a truck
at Florida and Montello Avenues
Northeast. Police said the truck
was driven by Steven B. Gray,
20. of the first block o st. N. E.
The police departments drive
against reckless drivers in Wash
ington continued unabated today.
Statistics compiled by the Traf-
fic Bureau revealed today that
arrests in August clipSed all
records. The bureau. according
to Capt. Milton D. Smith,
handled 2,514 cases during the
month. while 1882 cases were
disposed of in the precincts.

PARITY NEARER
FOR TOBACCO

Prices nearer to parity on bur
ley Maryland and dark air-cured
tobaccos may be realized when
new tobacco contracts are let, &C.
cording to reports at the Farm
Administration today.
Under present contracts, the
$500 a hundred pounds for bur
ley is so cents below parity, and
the average of Maryland dark air
cured is $l8 a hundred. or 10
cents below parity, William Col
Inns. tobacco contract executive,
explained. Fire-cured tobacc
alone is above parity.
At the same time, however, 1t
is believed that the increases may
be offset somewhat by an expect
ed new contract stipulation for
an acreage decrease Of approx
mately 80 per cent.

TWO INJURED
WHEN AUTO
HITS POLE

BOWIE, Md, Sept. A stones
throw from where three nuns met
death on the Defense Highway
here two weeks ago, two men were
seriously injured early today when
the car in which they were riding
Skidded and SomerSaulted into q
ditch.
They were identified as John
0. Filings and Richard Wagner
employees Of the Brownsville State
Hospital for the Insane, near An.
napolis.
En- route to Washington, they
sped around a steep curve. the
car slipping on the clay-covered
roadway. 1t turned over on the
shoulder, crashing into a telephone
pole, which was broken in two.
The men were said to have been
thrown clear of the car.
Hearing the crash, r. Lee Null
likin called the Glendale Rescue
Squad ambulance, and the men
were taken to Brownsville, receiv.
ing emergency treatment on the
way from DR.. j. H. Truitt and
members of the squad. The
Bladensburg squad also answered
the call.
Today's accident brought the
toll on the Defense Highway to
six dead and 80 seriously injured
for the first eight months Of this
year. While the drivers were re-
SponSible in certain cases, in a
majority the accidents were due
to the condition of the road.
The twisting highway from
Washington to Annapolis becomes
abnormally slippery when wet, the
American Automobile Association
pointed out today, and Skidding
cars have figured in many of the
crashes which brought death and
injury.
NarrowneSs Of the road is an,
other danger factor, it was point
ed out. Widening and straighten.
ing Of the road, improving of dan
gerouS shoulders and nonSkid sur
facing at danger points was urged
as the solution.
