This North Woods
Logboggan Is Easy
To Make and Use
BY JIM EMMETT.

Up in the North Woods, logboggans
are made by fattening one side of
short peeled log, then notching into
this couple of boards with their
after ends held together by cross
pieces.
An easier way is to use an 18-inch
long piece of heavy timber inches
by 10 inches or larger, such as may
have been left over from barn build
ing. Lay this fiat and mark a line
down its center lengthwise with an
other along one of its edges a dis
tance down from the top equal to
the thickness of boards you'll be
using for the bottom. Then use a
hatchet and chisel to cut out the
long shallow notch to these lines
Next chop off the other three edges
as shown-two of them rounded, the
other flat-and plane smooth.
If you use old lumber for the
bottom boards, plane one side of
each perfectly smooth and have

Air.Minded 'Eaglets'
Were Ready When
Uncle Sam Called
BY I. r. HEGEL,

At first they were Just so air
minded girls of California. They
called themselves "Eaglets." wore
military uniforms and steadily
chalked up their flying hours in
practice monoplane.
These girls worked in coastal
cities as stcnographers. tvpists and
clerks, yet they drove 500 miles in
land each week end for air practice
because civilian planes were
grounded in the coastal area. They
also learned maintenance well
enough to keep their practice plane
in tiptop flying condition In the
meantime they kept hoping Uncle
Sam would take notice of them.
Uncle Sam has done exactly that.
At this writing the Army Air Forces
have inaugurated a Womens Aux
Hilary Ferry Squadron called the
WAFS, and the Eagles are eagerly
exchanging their old name for the
new.
Commander of the WAFS is Mrs.
Nancy Hardness Love of Boston.
She is a Vassar graduate and the
wife of Col. Robert Love Of the
U. 6. Air Transport Command. A
skilled pilot, Mrs. Love learned to
fly more than II years ago and to
date has better than 1900 hours of
flying to her credit
Girls who belong to the WAFS
have a Government civil service
rating and are stationed at Will

the WAFS consist in ferrying new

Two Radio Beacons Guide
Flyers to Landing Field
One Type Uses
Morse Code, Other
Vibrating Rods
BY JACK SCHUYLER.

There are two general types of
radio beacons. or devices which di-
rect a flyer along a definite route to
or from particular landing field
The sound-type beacon uses tele-
graphic code. One beam, for ex-
ample, may send out the code letter
"a" g. repeated continuously
Another beam, originating at the
same point but sent out at right
angles to the first beam, would be
sending repetitions of the letter IN"
g..
BY the sending Of the letter "a"
on one beam at exactly the same
time as the IN" on the other beam.
the two combine at points where the
strength of the two signals is equal
midway between the direction of
the "a" beam and the direction of
the IN BEAM. When the dot-dash
Of the "a" is heard at the same time
as the daSh-dot of the IN" the two
letters combine to form one long
dash, or the code letter ct" The
"T' signal is heard only within very
'ioAAC" 'dbOuG 4LFC ctSj
and the pilot knows that so long as
he hears only "T' on his earphones,
and not "a" or IN" he is directly
on his course to the landing field.
The visual-type beacon uses two
different frequencies on it's two
beams, one of IS cycles and the other
of IS cycles. There is a receiver in
the plane which has two vibrating
reeds or steel rods, one of which
vibrates to the impulses of the 65-
cycle frequency and the other to the
Bicycle frequency. The stronger the
signal the greater the vibration.
The vibrating rods have their tips
painted, white, and as they vibrate
in front of dark background the
moving tips form white vertical lines
side by side. When the pilot is
exactly on his course the two white
lines will be of the same length. If
he is to the right of his course the
right-hand line will be longer be-
cause that rod will receive stronger
signal than the other and will vi
brate harder: while If the pilot is to
the left of his course the left-hand
line will be longer than the right.

works to provide a solid background
for the excursion. Botticelli, Titan
and Van Dyke were among the
masters they studied.
The National Art Gallery is a
masterpiece of architecture. and it
made a fine impression on the stu
dents and inspired those interested
In following in the footsteps of John
Russell Pope. For instance, Frank
Girard, who has been studying
buildings and perspective, said he
obtained valuable knowledge from
the trip.
Plans were made for tour
through the main floor covering a
few pictures of each period in the
history of art The students looked
on the rotunda with great admira
tion. A statue of Mercury stood
above the fountain in the center of
the floor. while large, impressive
columns of dark marble surrounded
It. The space and size of it all made
appreciation great and gave us an
insignificant feeling, especially on
looking up at the height of the
dome.
The galleries extend down cor
ridors on both sides of the rotunda.
Part of the group started with the
guide at the rotunda. while others
saw the pictures of their own choice.
The latter plan was adopted by
Helen Giddings, Margaret Jacobson
and Pat Tryon, who Unexpectedly
met an old friend from the Naval
Academy while studying the paint
tngs.
Pastel shades of Giotta Tiopolo's
portraits were enjoyed by Paige
Waite, who Just completed a por-
trait of fellow student Margaret
McCeney found the sculptures of
great interest and managed to spend
large part of her time studying
them. The tour was conducted by
a young woman who made the trip
pleasure for all. Included in this
tour were Justine Mcintyre and
Doris Jones.
Time was taken out for lunch in
the cafeteria, and the students COM
pared their discoveries. After de-
Gliding that roller skates would be
convenient, the class started out
again with renewed enthusiasm
A lecture on the picture of the
week" was next for the pupils
Norma Harris had her own opinion
on one picture, which she thought
far from realistic The students
enjoyed their own discussions of the
paintings and found how each diff
fered in choice.
Leo Flaherty watched as an artist
copied one Of the famous paintings.
The public has the opportunity of
seeing these works of art and is free
to sketch or paint copies with the
gallerys permission. There are
many who take advantage of this
opportunity and so benefit from this
great gift to the public by Andrew
w. Mellon.
The future artists left the Ma
tional Art Gallery tired but in
spired.

is good if hardwood boards are used;
pine may be up to q inch. Fasten
the ends into the notch with 2-inch
nails. then turn over and nail mar
row cleats atop the boards a couple
of feet apart to hold their after ends
together.
The entire bottom should be
sanded smooth, especially where the
front and boards meet, then oiled
or creased. Holes shown for the
hauling rope should be bored 2
inches from the bottom. Knots in
the ends hold the rope in these holes.
The handholds are merely 6-inch
pieces of old harness leather fastened
by a screw or nail at each end, with
a little slack left to permit slipping
your fingers beneath.
