BUSINESS MEN, MINISTERS JOIN IN EFFORT TO CRUSH INDIANA PARI-Ml TOEL BILL Marion County Leaders Active in Preparing Opposition; Economic, Moral Reasons for Campaign Given. Business men, ministers and Laymen of Indiana united today in a desperate ‘-ffort to crush the pari-mutuel bill now before the House. Marion County leaders were especially active in preparing opi>osition.

A conference of business men and Ernest E. Evans, executive secretary, Indianapolis Church Federation, and Linn A. Tripp, the association's social service director, was ealird yesterday when it seemed protf lie that the hill might be sho ' and through the House Monday. Tne business men oppose the bill for economic reasons, which, they say. include Money which otherwise would be spent in local shops and stores would be used for gambling. 'Experience in Rhode Island has proved this point, the critics contend. • Gambling would be encouraged in a class living o nlow wages or relief. Use of their small funds for gambling would deprive this class of money for necessities. Revenue Small. Is C laim The actual revenue to the state would be a comparatively small rate. 'The bill provides that the fee charged pari-mutuel operators would be SIOO a day. They in turn are allowed to take 10 per cent of the gambling money plus the breaks up to 10 rents > When the first pari-mutuel bill was introduced into Indiana four years ago the bill exatced $2500 a day from operators. The gambling money would not be used within the state, but would go to big gamblers, not citizens of Indiana The gambling would result in persons drawing continually from their bank accounts and turning to "loan ihaits'' for funds. Underwood riffraff and hoodlums would be attracted to the city by the easy gambling money. Sell Out Charge Hurled The church leaders also oppose j the measure on these grounds and in addition and more strongly for moral reasons. They say that parimueuel betting would not drive gambling from the state, but would encourage it. They point out that a comparatively small portion of the population now gamble on the races. At the conference yesterday, it was charged that the state had sold out to the gambling interests which had put up large sums to secure passage of the bill. An extensive campaign will be earned on during the week-end and Monday to have church members and business men to petition their legislators to vote down the parimutuel bill. Slot Machine Bill Due The House approved the Jordan bill, which A1 Feeney, state safety director, declares would make it possible to rid the state of slot machines in quick time, may be released Monday from Senate Judiciary B Committee. Supporters of the measure have expressed concern over the committee's delay in making a report. While a favorable report from the Senate committee is not at all certain. at least three committee members have indicated a willingness to push for the bill’s passage. Ring Pay Change Asked Payment of referees in boxing and wrestling matches on a slidinc scale, based on gate receipts, is provided in a measure introduced in the House yesterday afternoon by Rep. Carl E. M. Woodard <D. Michigan City*. Packing Control Sought A measure which would license all livestock buyers and packers and place them under state control was introduced in the House yesterday afternoon by Rep Dan O. Gettinger D.. Sullivan. Under provisions of the act the administrator could issue and revoke licenses, inspect plants and test scales. A license fee of $250 is fixed for each separate place of business. Tax Repeal Is Asked Repeal of the nuisance tax on theaters, hotels and corporations is provided for in a measure pending in the House and sponsored by j Rep. Hardin S. Lmke D . Colum- i bus* and Rep.

JOKE IS -bust; BUT MEMBERS OF HOUSE GRIN AND BAUER IT

Social business was the order of the day in the House of Representatives Thursday afternoon. The galleries were crowded with young folk from schools. Amateur ' and professional lobbyists hung on the rails. Representatives arose and sat down as introduction after introduction of schools and prominent personages in the House wf>re made by the solons of their constituents and their constituent's children. Then Rep. Lemhardt E. Bauer iD. Terre Haute) got to his feet. Mr. Speaker, I want to introduce a former speaker of the House. Mr. William H. English,” he said. The galleries and representat ves ogled and looked at the pointing finger of Mr. Bauer’s hand and the head of a man that appeared in an alcove in the northwest corner of the House. Carved beneath the stone face of the bust were the words. “Will.am H. English, Speaker of the House of Representatives. 1851-52.’ REPORTS FOURTH THEFT OF WHEELS AND TIRES Grocer Bees Sadly Familiar Sight on Opening Garage.

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 in 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 order to learn the fundamentals of flight and other tricks of construci tion. This article will describe and illustrate how' to build the simplest of model aircraft construction—the ; hand glider. It is built entirely of balsa wood. An ordinary razor blade, a pencil, ruler and a small piece of fine sandpaper. preferably No 00, are the only tools necessary. The materials needed are inexpensive and can be purchased at any model supply store or large department store handling aircraft toys, for only a few pennies. One piece of balsa wood 1-16 inch by 2 inches by 18 inches, a 2-dram bottle 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 of the glider. Building Directions Now place the targe piece of balsa wood on a flat table and w r ith a sharp, soft lead pencil draw the outlines of the wing, stabilizer, rudder 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. It is the slant of the stabilizer slot t* t controls the soaring ability of the glider. ) .t ?r outlining these five pieces he balsa w'ood, cut them out .h a razor blade, being very care--1 iul not to split the wood, especially ! along the slotted edge of the fuselI age. The fuselage is built from two duplicate pieces so w'e will complete ! it first by cementing them together, j After allow’ing it to dry thoroughly, sandpaper, cement and rough edges. Shaping the Wing The wing is the next construction step. It should be tapered slightly from the center to the wing tips. Then give it the proper camber or curve, from leading edge (front) to trailing edge Oack) as shown in cross-section illustration above. After it is formed, cut the wing crossways, half w'ay through from bottom with razor blade. Crack carefully between fingers, but oo nOt break apart and fill the crack with cement, raising the tips of the wings \ inch above center for dihedral angle and let dry. Apply a light coat of cement over the dihedral crease on the Vo side of the wing to strengthen t-.e angle.

—■

The best me'hod to obtain the dihedral anele is to place the wing between two books with the wing tips supported by the pages at a height of h inch above the wing center. It is advisable to do this work on a piece of wax paper, thus preventing wings from adhering to a firm surface after the cement has dried. The paper can be readily pulled off and sanded from the mid-section. But. make sure the cement has hardened before removing from between the books. Assembling Glider Now, we are ready to assemble the glider. Every effort should 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 assembling step is to! cement the rudder vertically to cen- I

ter of stabilizer, as illustrated, and allow to d T y thoroughly. Then, apply cement to stabilizer slot in rear of fuselage and center stabilizer ac-

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 forward. but v. ill not effect the flight of the ship. Next, fit the wing in the wing slot of the fuselage and cement in place. It must extend equal distance on both sides. This point is important for perfect nalance. 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 its flight ability. Place a 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 conditions 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 go into a tail spin, or. if the weight was too far forward it w'ould 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 forefinger under the wing and toss easily into the air. It needs only enough lorce to be caught by the air current, after which it will soar and float on the wind. If it loops to the right, or left, examine the wings of the model carefully and you will probably find that they are warped. This may be corrected by twisting wings slightly with fingers. The builder, through trial flights, will soon learn the peculiarities of his owm model and can correct them. A little experimenting with position of paper clips will help to get more perfect flights.

NO SPARRING PARTNER, SAYS WIFE. REFUSES BOXER’S PEACE PLEA

Kid Marshall, Negro, is a prize fighter, he says; a wife fighter, she says. Yesterday afternoon she was swaering out a warrant for his arrest for beating her. She vas in the city prosecutor's office. He appeared at the door. ‘•Come on back, honey,” he coaxed. “No, this time it's final,” she said. The Kid sat down on the floor and beean crying. A policeman spoke: “Stand up like a man.” Instead, the Kid stood up like Nurmi and speeded down three flights of stairs into the street and away.

Plane Models Built by Scientists for Test Use Small Machines Tried Out in Wind Tunnels and Behavior Closely Checked. BY DAVID DIETZ Scripps-Howard Science Editor Building airplane models is not only a pastime. It is also a science. The building of models is not restricted to boys. Engineers and scientists, in the employ of big aviation companies and in the world’s most famous scientific laboratories, build airplane models.

It is one of the accepted methods of trying out new ideas. These models are put in wind tunnels. An electric fan blows a powerful current of air through the tunnel. The behavior of the model is then noted, not only visually, but with the aid of many scientific instruments. In this way, many important discoveries 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, a model of it is constructed. This is tested thoroughly before work upon the actual structure begins. Sicentists, wishing to know how to combat earthquakes in regions where they are common, are experimenting with model buildings mounted on a table top. Miniature earthquakes are created by shaking the table. The boy who starts building models of airplanes today has a good chance of some day being a real scientist 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. Remember that the Wright brothers and Curtiss and the other pioneers and all the present-day heroes of the world of aviation w'ere young themselves once upon a time. LIFE SAVING INSTITUTE BEGINS NEXT MONDAY Red Cross Instructions Will Be at Athletic Club Pool. The Indianapolis Red Cross will hold its annual life saving institute for instructors at the Indianapolis Athletic Club pool for five consecutive nights beginning Monday. Paul W. Goss, Washington, Red Cross life saving field representative, will be in charge of the classes. Guards and pools and beaches during the summer will be given an opportunity to review life saving methods before the season opens.

ALL WHO MAKE MODELS AIDED Junior and Senior Divisions Assure Fair Basis of Competition. Youths who have been constructing flying and non-flying airplane models for years may derive valuable benefits through joining the Scripps-Howard-Indianapolis Times Junior Aviator organization. While the first sketches and specifications 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 members. One feature will be the list of models included in the plans for the second annual Nation'* 1 Junior j Air Races to be he’ul next summer, j Experienced members now may | direct their attention to construction of speed or endurance planes, i Some will w*ant to build planes capable of aerial acrobatics. For one ; air race division covers this type of model. When forming “Flights” of 10 members in the various neighborhoods, experienced members w'ill want to unite with others w r ho 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 “hourminute” plan of flying their model planes. Senior pilots win their licenses through soloing so many hours in the air. Junior pilots w’ill win special notice and “pilot licenses" under the Junior Aviator plan, through flying their models so many hourminutes. In other words a minute 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 50 hours in the air for a senior plane. Flying “solo” will be done under the supervision of “night” commanders and each junior pilot will keep a log book of hour-minutes just as a senior pilot keeps a record of his solo hours. Watch Junior Aviator news in The Times every day, as interesting developments will be published regularly.

FLYING FACTS CAMBER is the curve of the top of tne wing from the leading edg° 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 s’ability 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 attached to the stabilizer. It guides tne plane in flight. STARILiZER is the horizontal unit on the tail of the fuselage. It maintains the equilibrium of the plane while flying. SWEEPBACK is the horizontal angle at which the wing tips extend back from the leading edge. TRAILING EDGE is the back edge of the wing structure.

ICKES TO SPEND MAJOR PART OF $4,000,000,000 Public Works Chief Ready to Start Program Immediately. /?(/ Srripim-Hi/irord Xrtmpnprr AWnn-'e WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.—Renewed activity in the Public Works Administration indicated today that Administrator Harold L. Irkes is preparing to spend a major part of the pending four-billion-dollar reemployment fund. despite the official denials with which hostile House Democrats were recently mollified. Mr. Ickes has been saying little in the last few weeks while various other New Dealers were being mentioned for the post of chief spender. But he has been quietly piecing together a plan which can be put into operation at once. He has at hand applications for nearly two billion dollars worth of projects, left over, for want of fund ;, from the original PWA program. Four times this figure will be added to his docket through the filing of new state programs, requested six weeks ago. Mr. Ickes has been close to the ear of President Roosevelt in discussions of the re-emplovment fund ever since its inception. He was one of the inner circle at Wa m Springs, and he has taken part in all White House sessions on the subject Significantly, he is chairman of the National Resources Board, which recently presented to Congress the first comprehensive national program of public works.
