THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 13, 1930—PART ON Kltes—How to Build Them LEADERS ARRESTED w ’ W IN STUDENT STRIKE | A—-12 KITE FLYING MEET RULES ANNOUNCED U. 8. National Museum, Smithsonian Institation, Prepared for the District of Columbia Model Aircraft League Specials Monday and T nday Contest to Be Held Thursday at Chevy Chase Field for Both Adults and Children. Details of the kite contest, sponsored by the National Aeronautic Association, under the direction of the District of Columbia Model Aircraft League, were announced last night. The contest will be held at Chevy Chue fleld, Western and Wisconsin avenues, Thursday after- noon, April 24, and will be open to adults and children of both sexes. A large staff of directors, aldes and assistants will be on_the field to take care of entrants. The field may be reached either by the Wisconsin avenue line of the Washington Railway & Elec- tric Co., or the Connecticut avenue line of t.he Capital Traction Co. The judges will be aeronautic experts, many ‘of them associated with the| United States Government, and dlvld!d: into three groups. List of Judges. ‘The judges who will pass on the per- | formance of the kites entered are Dr. H. L. Dryden of the Bureau of Standards, Paul Edward Garber of the Smithson- jan Institution and S. T. Ferguson of the Weather Bureau. Judges for “‘work- manship” of the kites are W. F. Darmady of the Bureau of Standards, O. Scheidel of the manual training de- partment, District Columbia public schools and F. A. Woodward of Gordon Junior High School. Judges for “beauty of design and decoration” are three Washington artists: Burtis Baker of the Corcoran School of Art, Felix ‘Mahoney of the National School of Fine and Applied Art and Hugo Inden of the Abbott School of Fine and Commercial Art. Many inquiries are being received at the Community Center department as to the kinds of wood to use in Kite making, and the correct length of Kite sticks. The best woods are spruce and white pine, and kite sticks should be cut_in five-foot lengths and from % to 35 of an inch thicl Contestants will be dlvided into the followin, oups: 1. sgh?;nlgrs—Any enmm not yet 12 years of age on April 2. Juniors—Any enh‘lnl 12 years of age and not yet 16 on Aj 3. Senlors—AnX e:"lt{lnt. 16 yura of e or older on Apr! ‘G‘ Father and son—Any adult and “ ubjunior working together. ‘The Girl Scouts are taking a great interest in the approaching contest, and a large number of them are ex- pected to enter kites. Kites will be classified as follows: Class A, kites with tails; Class B, tailless kites; Class C, box kites; Class D, combination kites. ARTICLE IX. The Star Kite. ’rhla is another geometrical arrange- and is formed of three sticks and o tnmlng strings, all of equal length. There are several ways of llylnu out a star. You boys who geometry in high school hlve nmblhly learned one way; you girls who have read about Betsy Ross, may have learned how she cut the stars for the flag with one snip of her scissors. But for kite making the easiest way is to draw a large circle on the piece of paper which is to be used for covering. Divide the circle circumference into five parts, then lay your sticks and fasten your outline strings from point to posnr.. Lash the sticks where they cross. out the covering paper with a one-lnch margin; fold the margin over.the kite frame and glue it down. i Forming of Bridle. ‘The bridle iS formed of three strings fastened to opposite ends of the sticks and joined at an apex above the center of the horizontal stick, and distant from the kite surface by ab-mt half the length of the kite. Such a kite is usually flown with a tail, ‘which is fastened to a short string con- necting the two lower points. Sometimes a double tail is used, formed of two strings, with pieces of paper 10 by 5 inches tied about a foot apart. Each tail is fastened to a lower point of the star, and this arrangement makes a pretty effect. You will recall that in a previous article I spoke of decorating kites to improve their appearance. This star kite lends itself very well to decoration. For instance, each point might be colored differently. Another method might be to bisect each star point by a line, joining - the lines at the center, then painting each half a different color. Some striking combination, such rted | string, as-in the as pllnfinl the right halves red lnd the left halves silver, would look Tailless in Light Wind. In light winds, this kite could be flmvn without a tail, by bowing back the zontal stick, and reumlng lt with I Eddy kite (see Article VI). The effect of bowing the surface is to create what is known in aerody- namics as a dihedral angle. You all ‘have ‘probably. noticed that the wings of many airplanes are inclined upward slightly. This also is known as dlhe- HEXAGRAM dral and is used to produce a balancing effect. The birds use the same feature when gliding or soaring. The bowing of a kite's surface steadles it more ef- ficiently than the addition of a tail, but not every kite shape can mbod{ it. Other balancing methods used on Kif are vents, cones and trailing flaps. Their use is helpful when experimenting, but before making any complicated or un- tried shapes of kites, I would advise your making several of the standard forms. ‘Tomorrow: The Ship Kite.

HARROGATE, Tenn., April 12—The | arrest of two leaders of the student | strike at Lincoln Memorial University followed closely today upon the an- nouncement that Judge J. H. 8. Morison. president of the university, had y xville, ‘president of the student body and leuder of the movement, and Ernest Fields, also a stu- dent, were arrested late today on war- rants which a deputy sheriff said charged creating a disturbance and rioting on the campus. McCarroll was expelled this morning and a professor was dismissed. Flelds was released on his own recognizance pending hearing ‘Tuesday. Student leaders charged the profes- sor, Dr. Merlin C. Miller, was the fifth to suffer because of sympathy with their efforts to bring about changes in the conduct and administration of the university. - One of this quintet ha.s said he resigned and was not discharged. ‘Wholesale suspension of striking stu- ients was decided upon tonight by Judge Morison “unless they return to classes right away.” “I cannot allow this to on,” he will wreck the school. Un- less they come back I will just send mem home and let their parents attend k that Monday will be thl‘ ll.s' dly they can return without serious consequences.” Peace efforts which all concerned had hoped would end the strike failed last night when Judge Morison and stu- dent leaders could not agree.
