PARLEY WITH FOX COVERS 60 HOURS Head of $300,000,000 Film Firm Withdraws Only After Stubborn Struggle. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 9—The New York Sun yesterday said that a 60-hour con- ference preceded the withdrawal of Wil- liam Fox from the head of the $300,- 000,000 motion picture industry and the- ater chain which he had watched grow from a $1,600 nickelodeon, and was as dramatic as any scene ever filmed in the Fox studios. ‘When the session ended Fox no longer Was one of the greatest figures in the industry, but in his place rose Harley L. Clarke of Chicago to assume control of the business Fox started 20 years ago. Conference Began Friday. ‘The conference, says the Sun, started last Friday noon at the Bankers' Club between Clarke and Fox, the latter's at- torney, Samuel Untermyer; Albert Greenfield of Philadelphia, a close friend | of Fox, and A. C. Blumenthal, who handled the expansion deals for the Fox ¢orporations and remained neutral dur- ing the recent differences, acted as mediator between Fox and his rivals. Friday afternoon the men went to Mr. Untermyer's room at the Ambassador Hotel, where they remained in steady session until Sunday morning, when Fox finally was persuaded to sign. Says the Sun: “There was Fox in the center of the room, proud of the gigan- tic industry that he bullt up from an insignificant beginning. Around him ‘were four men literally bombarding him with arguments as to why he should not sell his stock and retire from control “He held on stubbornly, his pride as- serting itself time and again to prevent + him from signing away his life's crea. tion and work.” Reasons for Retirement Urged. His friends told him that the financ- ing plans he favored might never go through because of involved litigation and that if he continued to hold out he “would ruin himself and everyhody eise and that this was his opportunity to get out honorably and with money. ‘The price merntioned was $18,500,000. “Under this bombardment, that had been continuous for more than two days in varying degrees Fox finally consent- ed, but he had not yet signed, and the most delicate part of the negotiations ‘were still ahead. With his consent given details were discussed, but when &l\e.!h.ne came to sign Fox again balked. Fox Finally Signs, “Fox was somewhat in the same po- sition and mental state as Poli, the Italian immigrant, who wept when he signed away his theater chain to Fox for $18,500,000. At that time Poli balked up to the last minute and said he would rather have his name and prestige than the money. * * * “It was not until the conference was almost on the verge of a breskdown and the five men tired, hoarse and weary that Fox finally signed away his control.” KENTUCKY RIVER HERO, _ WHO SAVED 62, DIES By the Associated Press.

Nationai Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Prepared for the District of Columbia Model Aircraft League ARTICLE 1V, The Bow-Kite. The bow-kite is the one which our forefathers flew. You see it illustrated in old pictures. It has a nice appear- ance and is easy to make. It is formed of two sticks. The upper one should be quite thin so that it can be bent in a semi-circle. A cross-piece of string is tied across the ends to hold it bent. The other stick 15 now lashed to the center of the bow, and also tied to the center of the cross string at “A.” Another string is fastened to the ends of of the bow-stick and the bottom of the verticle stick, for the outline, Make sure that the construction is rigid and true. Lay this frame on the plger selected for covering. Mark out the shape with a one-inch margin and cut out the shape. Fold over the paper around the outline. At the curve it will be necessary to make cuts toward the center of the bow, about one inch apart, in order that the paper can be fastened to leave a smooth surface. Glue down the folded paper. The bridle is made of two strings fastened to opposite ends of the two sticks and joined at a point above “A”" about as far distant from the kite sur- face as helf the length of the kite. No dimenslons are given for the kite, as every boy will suit the dimensions to the size he wishes to build and to conform to the material he has at his disposal. It is not wise to make kites too bl they then become expensive to maki a bother to carry around. They require strong string, which is itself a matter of expense. Say, three feet for a kite such as this bow kite, and use sticks about 5-16-inch square for the vertical and %x14-inch for the bow. This kite requires a tall, which is made of pleces of paper about 10x5 inches tied a foot apart in a length of string, sufficiently long to balance the kite, about 15 feet for a moderate wind. The paper is fanned out to provide resis- tance and steadying effect; a knot known as the “clove hitch” is best used to_tie the paper. It is assumed that every one knows how to fly a kite.
