...possible for a handy amateur to build a glider out of spruce or pine, wire, and fabric. Design is quite like that for a monoplane. (One popular German model amazingly resembles a Lockheed-Vega.) Wingspan may be up to 65 feet (span of a staunch commercial Ford trimotored transport). But 25 feet is more practical for beginners. The National Glider Association at Detroit will furnish blue prints. However best advice warns against amateur construction, or patching together of old motored plane parts...

Hayward, 84 Prescott Street, Cambridge before Thursday evening...
...meeting next month of the Model Assembly of the League of Nations at the University of Michigan will point the moral of international amity to a fascinated, if small audience. Inspired with enthusiasms as diverse as the points of the compass, aided by officials of State, it assembles with fitting ceremony to weigh opinions and swap stories. At first glance, the affair seems to be without the pale of ordinary collegiate interest. But at the present time, when colleges are admittedly the fountain from which all blessings flow, their taking the initiative in the unselfish service of moulding public opinion...
