OPEN DOOR FOR NEWS WILL RE URGED BY 0. P. Geneva Conference to Open Aug. 24; Fight Slated on Policies. By NEA Service NEW YORK, Aug. s.—lnternational discussion of armament limitation will give way to international debate on the dissemination of news at Geneva. Foremost American editors and publishers have sailed from New York to participate. They will open the International Press Conference at Geneva on Aug. 24. The conference is to be held under League of Nations auspices. The vital issue to be disposed of is whether the “open door” policy is to prevail in the handling of important governmental news—whether its collection, transmission, and distribution to newspapers for publication is to be “controlled” or unrestricted. Two Opinions to Clash Two conflicting opinions are expected to develop, one that governmental news is common property and should be available to all publication agencies on a basis of equality; the other that “official” agencies and propaganda bureaus are entitled to special privileges. Independent agencies which',accept no subsidies and have no alliances with subsidized government bureaus comprise the “open door” element. The United Press, Associated Press, Scripps-Howard newspapers, International News service, and the New York Times will have representatives at the conference. In all, nearly two-score delegates will be on hand. An early test of strength of the opposing sides is expected over a proposal by the “independents” that sessions of the conference be open to the public. Subsidized agencies have indicated they will fight to keep the discussions secret. Two conferences preliminary to the one about to open already have been held. The first was participated in a year ago by representatives of telegraphic news agencies. The second was a meeting of “official” or “allied” agencies at Warsaw. The first was presided over by Roy W. Howard, representing the United Press; the second, which was secret, by M. Grzybowski, who heads the propaganda department of the government of Poland. At the first conference, importance of free and Unhampered exchange of news to international peace was stressed. The conference resolved: Want Equal Treatment “That all governments of the world be requested to grant and to assure absolute equality of treatment to all telegraphic news agencies whether official or independent: “1. In the matter of distribution of all official news; “2. In the matter of priority or order of transmission of their telegrams; “3. In the matter of telegraph, telephone, radio and cable rates; “4. In the matter of treatment by the censor, whenever the internal or international situation of any country may render the establishment of press dispatches necessary.” Ratification of this resolution in effect will be the big question when the third conference of the series takes place. George B. Parker, editor-in-chief of the Scripps-Howard papers, who will represent this newspaper group at the Geneva International Press Conference. Bible Session Begins By Times Special WINONA LAKE, Ind., Aug. 5. The thirty-third annual Winona Jje.ke Bible conference opened here this morning with Dr. Erskine Blackburn, prominent Scotch minister, as speaker. The conference will continue ten days.

BY PAUL EDWARD GARBER In charge of aeronautics, Smithsonian Institution. (Copyright, 1927, by Science Service.) 3. MAKING THE POWER PLANT The power plant of an airplane is a vital part. When I was in the aerial mail service in 1918-10 one of the fellows said: “You can fly with a barn door if you have enough power.” That statement was not quite true, but it illustrates the fact that the engine and propellers are mighty important. For our model we wnl use rubber bands for the engine and for our propellers we will use blades carved from wood. Propellers are interestin things. Asa means for propulsion air propellers are older than water propellers. The famous Italian artist and engineer, Leonardo da Vinci, made an aerial propeller way back in the fifteenth century, before America was discovered, whereas John Stevens of this country was the first to adopt the screw propeller for steamboats a generation after the United States became a republic. Many kinds of air propellers have been invented. Da Vicni's looked like a spiral staircase covered with cloth. The most modern kinds are thin knife like blades made of steel. For our model we will adopt a kind that is easy to make, and we will follow the pattern of Samuel Fierpont Langley, who developed the first airplane in the history of the world to make a sustained flight under its own power. His airplane was fourteen feet span, too small to carry a man, but it showed that flight was possible. That was way back in 1896. His airplane flew nearly a mile with propellers like those. I hope your model will fly as far. Perhaps it will. Material Needed The following material is needed for the power plant: Two propeller blanks, pine wood, 8 inches by 1!4 inches by % inch. Two hatpins. Four No. 16 washers or dress spangles. Forty-eight feet of Vs inch flat rubber thread, or of linked rubber bands. We will use two propellers, one turning the way a clock goes, and the other turning left handed, both are to blow the air away from the model. For material procure two blocks of wood, 8 inches long, 114 inches wide, and % inch thick. On the ends make a mark !4 inch from the sides. On the top, draw lines

from these marks to the opposite corners, as shown in the drawing. Now, saw from the corners to the center, and when all four cuts have been made yotr will have a shape like that shown in Figure 2. Next drill a hole in the exact center. This can best be done with the drill you used for the bearings, but as a substitute you can use the hatpin heated red hot. When the hole is made balance the propeller blank. Make sure that it swings level. If it does not, cut away the heavy side until it does. After it is balanced, commence carving out the blades. Begin as shown in Figure 3, and cut away that face from the left top edge to the right lower edge, cutting more in the center so as to slightly cup the blade, as illustrated in the end view, Figure 4. Cut both blades, and then again balance the propeller. Next turn it over, and cut the backs of the blades. They should be made thin, so that as you hold them up to a light you can see a slight pinkness. Make the blades gradually thicker toward the hub, but have them of uniform thinness for the outer two-thirds of the blade, as shown in the end view of the finished blade, Figure 5. When both backs are cut again balance the blade, taper off the hub, and smooth the blades with sandpaper. Balancing Necessary The left handed propeller is cut in the same manner, but when starting cut on the left side of the blank, from the right top edge to the left lower edge. This balancing is very necessary; the blades should balance level and the two propellers should weigh the same and be the same shape and size tnroughout. If this is done and all other factors are true the model will fly straight. The propeller shafts are bent from the stiff wire of the hatpin to the shape shown in Figure 6. The hook must be round and in line. In other words, when the shaft is twirled between the thumb and finger, the hook must look like a circle and not like an egg. If the wire is too stiff to bend or if it snaps off when bent, it must be heated red hot and allowed to cool, after which it will be softer and easier worked. When the

ARSON DAMAGES ASKED Clarence Armstrong Sued for SI,BOO By Charles MacDougall. Damages of SI,BOO are asked by Charles P. MacDougall in a suit filed today in Superior Court against Clarence E. Armstrong, proprietor of the P. & A. Dispatch Company, who Tuesday was bound over to the grand jury charged with arson in connection with a fire, July 5, which destroyed the warehouse and the household goods of eleven families. MacDougall alleges that the warehouse at 1329 De Loss St., supposed to be fireproof, was “a livery stable and highly inflammable." His household goods were destroyed, he said. shafts are made, insert them in propeller hubs and turn the end back into the hub to secure it as shownin Figure 8. Figure 7 shows two washers to be used to reduce friction between the propeller and its bearing. They can be bought at hardware stores and are known as No. 16 washers. Dress spangles will do also. There may be some of these in your house on an old dress, or if not, notion , stores carry them. Two of these are put on each shaft after which the shafts are put through the bearings as shown in Figure 8. Figure 9 shows how the two piopellers are put on the frame. The right handed one goes on the right side and the left handed one on the other. This arrangement makes the model fly highest because the down stroke of the propellers being outside exerts the most leverage. Figure 10 shows a fitting known as an “S” hook. Two of these are required and are made from hatpins or other stiff wire to the shape shown. They are used to fasten the rubber strands to the nose hook. Divide the 48 feet of rubber into two lengths. Tie the ends of these lengths together, making two large rubber hoops. Loop these hoops twice, forming two hanks of eight loops each. To one end of each loop attach an “S” hook. Pass the other end through the cans on the frame and hang it on to the propeller shaft hook. Put the “S” hook on the nose hook. This completes the power plant. Tomorrow we will start on the wing.

THAT’S 109’ Keeps Happy on Alabama Line

Have you ever met Street Car Conductor-Motorman No. 109? He pilots his trolley along the Alabama line, and if you live in that part of town and don’t already know him, it will pay you to get acquainted. Because No. 109 gives service .If you doze, and forget to ring the bell as you approach your corner, No. 109 stops the car anyhow, and in just such a way that you wake up. He does it politely, and since he knows at what corner every regular customer gets off fully as well as the customers themselves, this eliminates much of the worry of street-car riding. Likes Folks Along Line And if No. 109 sees a regular customer standing downtown, absentmindedly letting the car go by on its last trip for the night, he stops and opens the door. That usually wakes the absent-minded customer jj), he Steps on, pays his fare, and wakes up again at the proper place to get off. “I’ve been serving the public a good many years,” says No. 109, “but _'ve never met a finer bunch of people than live along this Alabama line. “One doesn’t have many strangers to bother with here, no gruff cranks, and no roughnecks. It’s just like taking your sister or other relatives home.” Thought It Was Pay Day No. 109 became a street car conductor by accident. He was out collecting bills one day when he saw three of his employers’ debtors in line with some other men outside the car barn. “It must be pay day,” ihought the collector, “I’ll step in line and be there when these fellows get their money.** After standing there a while, he asked one of the men, just to make sure. “Pay line, hell!” exploded the man. “We’re looking for jobs.” But by that time No. 109-to-be

was nearly in the employment office, and once inside an application blank was thrust into his hands, and he was an obliging fellow, so he filled it out. No. 109 Is ‘A No. I* He went home and told his wife, but never really intended to quit bill .collecting- for trolley piloting. But pestering people, who couldn’t pay their debts became very disagreeable a few days later and he strolled back over to the car barn to see about that application. They put the cap and insignia of office on him. He’s never quit because there’s a little girl in No. 109’s home now, and, you know, Alabama is a mighty good line! “It’s a great life,” he smiles. “Good-by. See you on your way home.” No. 109 didn’t know he was speaking for publication when he told all this, so don’t think he’s an immodest man. Just take it from we who are proud to be Alabama line folks, No. 109 is “A No. 1.” EDDIE CANTOR UNIQUE Hollywood Can’t Produce Double for Comedian.

LATIN-AMERICA POLICY LAUDED Dollar Diplomacy Charge Denied by Economist. By United Press WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.. Aug. 5. —Although American capital has invested almost six billions in LatinAmerican countries, the United States never has used its arms to collect loans, Dr. G. Butler Sherwell, economist, of Georgetown University, told the Institute of Politics today. “This is contrary to the statements of those who have raised the bogies of ‘imperalism’ and ’dollar diplomacy,’ ” Dr. sherwell continued. "Not even the alarming increase of loans in recent years has prompted our Government to go

beyond mild intervention." Dr. Sherwell said ths United States had sent to Lutin-Americen countries in the last, seven years as much money as had England in 107 years. He explained there was much competition between Ameri-i can bankers to obtain Latin loans' because they bring 8 and 9 per cent. Prof. William R. Shepherd of Columbia University said the United States must be prepared to protect its strategic outposts and to assist in stabilty of government of Latin -American countries. “We also should promote our trade and make certain in our relations with the countries that we are observing that regard for human comfort and welfare existing in all civilized lands." he said. $300,000 Monastery HUNTINGTON, Ind., Aug. 5.—A monastery to cost $300,000 will be erected next year nearsyictory Noll institute here, Bishop John Francis Noll of Ft.
