GREEK VLLAGE STRUEK BY QUAKE Church Tower Collapse Causes Injury to Several, as Damage Is Severe. By the Associated Press. ATHENS, Greece, April 18 —Severe earthquake shocks rocking the Pelo- ponnesus during the night did extensive @amage in several small inland towns. Athens and the Piraeus were shaken badly, and there was great alarm among crowds of holy Thursday worshippers in Kites—How to Build Them BY PAUL EDWARD GARBER, U, 8. National Museum, Smithsonian Institution. Prepared for the District of Columbia Model Aircraft League ARTICLE XIV. The Conyne Kite. The Conyne kite is named for its in- ventor, and is sometimes called the | French war kite. It was introduced to this country by Samuel Perkins, who used kites of this type for elevating men into the air and for hoisting ban- ners and signals. It might be described s a triangular box kite with wings. It partakes of the advantages of both types—box and plane. It is formed of four sticks of equal | stick is marked into | length. Each thirds, and three of them are laid to- gether to form a flat-ended diamond, as shown in the drawing. The cross- and glue it down over the string. Leave the center square panel (unshaded) open, and brace the top of the lower panel with a short stick (shown by the solid line above “B"). Dimension of Bands. Next make two bands twice as long as the one-third dimension, and as wide as each of the end panels. Fasten the ends of these bands to the vertical sticks, so as to form end boxes, again leaving the center panel open. Be sure that the attachment of these bands to the sticks is secure, as this fastening takes the pull of the kite. The fourth long stick is now inserted at the center of the bands, and when pulled taut forms the apex of the two triangular CONYNE cells, No bracing is necessary to main- tain this triangular shape, s the pull of the kite keeps it taut. The bridle is attached to the top of each cell, at “A” and “B,” and is long enough to reach over to “C.” The kite string is attached at a point on the bridle one inch above “C. Closing of Series. ‘With the description of this kite, the present series is brought to a close. Were time and space unlimited, I might describe 50 other kites, every one of interest. I could include the Biot kite, a peculiar shape with balancing cones; the Cornu kite, patterned after a flight of birds, the Tetrahedral kite, invented D. C., FRIDAY, by the man who gave us the ulethnne: the Lamson kite, the Marvin kite, the Nikel kite, the Maillot kite and the Chinese dragon kite, which is the most marvelous of all, and of which there is a !?lend.\d example shown in the Air- craft Building of the National Museum, where there is also a Herring Dome kite, & Chanute triple-tandem biplane kite and a wonderful series of Oriental kites. Great Flying Sport. Kite flying is great sport. You can compete with your friends for work- manship, design, pull of your kite and duration in the air; you can attach a camera to the line and take aerial photographs; you can drop parachutes from your kite by use of a fuse; can send up messengers and mannikins, and have much fun in many ways. Kites are a basic aircraft; study of them will teach you many facts about aeronautics, in fact, many air pioneers learned much about flight through thetr kite experiments. Every time you make another kite try to improve over its predecessor. In this, as in everything else, practice makes perfect.

MELBOURNE, Victoria, April 18 (#). —The Legislative Council has rejected the unemployment insurance bill, which was before it for its third reading.
