They Learn From Experience What Materials Are Best for Models.

By DAVID MARSHALL Almost every model-plane builder has a few secrets tucked away in the construction of his recordsetting ship which novices don’t learn except through experience. The little hints and tricks usually are passed along by word of mouth at the bigger meets the beginners don’t get to attend. | For instance, the experts are very touchy about the airfoil shape

in the wing because \it is quite important. They go to great pains to design a rib pattern which will produce the greatest amount of lift with the least resistance. But all this work would be of little help if sométhing weren't done to prevent the tissue paper covering from sagging between the wing ribs.

Learn About Tissue

By experiment they found that the tissue covering sagged much less if it was put on with the grain running from the (leading edge to the trailing edge. | It is easier and the paper will draw up more taut if the grain is run from wing-tip to wing-tip, but the great sag between the ribs ruins- the airfoil.

Another point to remember is to

use red (or maybe orange or a bright color combination, paper for the plane’s undersurfaces so that it can be seen by the timer in case it catches a thermal and starts fading into a brilliant sky. \ Rubber motors which the experts use are “doctored” in many ways to lengthen their uséfulness. Lubricant, not an oil which deteriorates rubber but a mixture of soap and glycerine, now is sold by model supply dealers to be applied to the rubber motor before model is flown. This prevents strands from

. sticking together and also keeps them from rotting. /

' a jar which has

Sun Light Dapiages It

When a supply [of rubber is kept on hand it should be placed in a glass, air-tight jar. Better yet is en painted black to ‘keep out sunlight which deteriorates rubbgr., Some fliers remove their rubber] motors, wash the lubricant off with cold water, dust talcum powder through the strands and place in the| jar. Egg-beater and| speed-drill winders are common-place with all con-test-model fliers.| Stretching rubber decreases t power buf increases the number of propeller rev- ~ olutions.

Some contest models have been

merely wound by hand with the rubber unstretched. They did so because a lreavy motor when wound without being stretched, produces a great burst of power at the beginning of the flight carrying the models to a high altitude in a short time. |

Literacy Is on the Upgrade There, Helen Fehr Says on Return.

Miss Helen Fehr, whose address is 1302 Woodlawn Ave. when she’s in Indianapolis, is back from India

.|land she reports that the bicycie

business there is on the upgrade. Since going to India 12 years ago as a Methodist missionary, Miss Fehr has become adept on a wheel, regaining some of the dexterity which she possessed when she used to pedal back and forth to Manual High School. She ‘works in the state of Bastar, which is in the southern part of the central provinces—and not under British rule. When in Bastar one uses a bicycle. The natives are getting on to this and since it’s cheap and they're poor, it’s good for the bicycle salesmen. Just as a young man In America often buys an automobile

Indian buys a bicycle. $17 Buys One

What kind be. buys depends on his income. ‘There are three makes, Raleigh, Hercules and Phillips—that’s just in case you go to India. The Phillips people put out the classiest model but Miss Fehr rides a Hercules, which costs about $17 in U. S. money, has a brake lever on the handlebar and is quite sufficient for almost every purpose. The fact is, Miss Fehr has made as much as 50 miles inya day over roads which are very unlike the smooth ones Americans are used to. : Aside from the bicycle situation, Miss Fehr said that literacy in India was also on the upgrade and that missionaries are making progress in fighting the instincts which cause the people of India the most trouble. She believes that if her colleagues can heat down the un-Christian tendencies of the Indians to be greedy and selfish, India will have gone a long way toward improving its lot. Need the Commandments This would do more good, in Miss Fehr’s opinion, than all the plans put out in the deep-thinking magazines. Neither a change in the regulations imposed by the British in the part of India they rule nor the plans of Mahatma Gandhi would do more good than the simple Ten Commandments, she holds. Miss Fehr’s work is mostly teach-

ing—adults and children. She said the most interesting pupil she ever had was & man about 70. The man’s name was Zacheriah and he lives in Jeriguda. Miss Fehr was teaching an adult class how to read, but she was hav=ing little success in getting any response from Zacheriah. He'd just sit and stare about and not say anything. This went on for about a year. Then the second year, he brought his little granddaughter, who was 11, She sat on his lap during class and it wasn’t long before she was learning some of the things Miss

Fehr was frying to teach Zachariah. - The granddaughter would fake Zacheriah in hand as soon as they got home after class and they'd start on a reading lesson.

There Six Years

Next year, Zacheriah carried his New Testament to every class. And what’s more, he could read it. Miss Fehr likes the nlIdian peo=ple for such incidents as this and she’s made teaching them her life work. . This is the first time in six years

that she had been home to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Fehr, but she’ll be going back before long. She wants to get there before the rainy season, the monsoon, sets in, for when that starts, you can’t get anywhere, not even on a Hercules bicycle.

Sells Everything— Even False Teeth

QUINCY, Mich., Nov. 14 (U.P.). —The auctioneer obeyed Charles Stepper’s instructions to “sell everything regardless.” And Mr. Stepper was satisfied until he missed his false teeth after the sale. He found an antique dealer who bought a basket of odds and ends—including the teeth—and was told: “I'll sell them back to you for

two bits.” Mr. Stepper closed the deal.

On being dampened moderately, sand increases in volume all out of proportion to the amount of water added.

MINTON PRAISES

WILLKIE SPEECH

‘Displayed No Rancor,’ Says Senator; VanNuys 0..K.’s

‘Parts’ of It.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Wendell L. Willkie won universal praise here today for his “loyal opposition” speech: which was broadcast on Armistice Day night. Democrats joined with Republicans in expressing approbation. Even Senator Sherman Minton, Democratic whip, who attributes his defeat to the fact that Mr. Willkie was Indiana's favorite son Presidential candidate, had nothing but kind words in commenting on the speech, “I thought it was the best speech I ever heard Mr. Willkie deliver,” Senator Minton said. “He displayed no rancor over his defeat, cited the necessity for unity in America in these critical times and yet emphasized the need for intelligent opposition to maintain the two-party system of democracy here. Certainly no objection could be found to that formula.” Praised by VanNuys

Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) also had words of praise for Mr. Willkie’s high conduct. - “The Willkie speech was a very

good presentation of the opposition stand from the minority viewpoint,” Senator VanNuys declared. “As the G. O. P. Party leader, he offered to meet the President halfway in the establishment of national unity. Although he was defeated his plan contains some good advice for the winner. As to his five-point program, I cannot accept all of it of course, but. it does offer ground for what Mr. Willkie himself termed ‘loyal opposition.’ “The 22,000,000 who voted for Mr. Willkie may well take pride in his summation of the proper minority attitude.” . Ludlow Missed It

While most Indiana Congressmen are waiting until next week to return here, Reps. Raymond E. Springer, Republican, and Louis Ludlow, Democrat, are on hand. Rep. Springer heard the Willkie speech and praised it highly, but Rep. Ludlow said that he had missed it.

Trade Is Termed Easiest Way

To Latin American Good Will

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (U. P.). —James I. Miller, vice president of the United #Press Associations in South America, said last night in a speech to the Washington Board of Trade that the United States could win the lasting confidence and good

will of its Latin ‘American neighbors only by purchasing their surplus products that formerly went to Europe. Mr. Miller, who was the United States recipient ot Columbia University’s Cabot journalistic award for the improvement of inter-American relations, has spent 23 years on the South American continent and is considered one of tHe leading United States experts in the field. “Many South American countries need constructive collaboration,” he said. “And banquet speeches extolling the virtues of our modern brand of democracy are not enough. They prefer that we give them orders for their surplus products — products that formerly went to Europe and now lie rotting on the docks for want of customers. The most satisfactory method of establishing good will and gaining confidence of a neighbor is to trade wih him over the counter. “The only way the great buying power of our neighbor republics can be swung into the American orbit and retained there is by the creation of a channel through which American money flows to buy Latin American goods.” Mr. Miller said that if the Argentine could send to the United States

“only 3 per cent of our meat, a large measure of her economic difficulty would be solved.” :

FOOD SCARGE AND HIGH IN BELGIUM

BRUSSELS, Nov. 14 (U. P). — With winter approaching, Belgium already is beginning to feel a food shortage. Food is scarce and expensive. ; Rations of potatoes. bread and fats already have been cut down. It is difficult to buy eggs at any price since the peasants keep them for their families. The average breakfast consists of two slices of unbuttered bread with jam and a cup of roasted barley lunch there is soup, potatoes purlunch there is soup, potatos purchased 3 month ago when they coudl be’bought, and a small piece of meat. For dinner there is soup, some vegetables and a bit of sausage.
