Dear Kiddies,

Quite a number of entries came in for last week's Competition, in which you were asked to select an advertisement from the. "Telugraph" and colour it. Most of you chose the H.B. Beer advertisement, which certainly lent itself excellently to colouring. In two or three entries, the competitors drew the picture as well as colouring it; that wasn't necessary. Still, some of these were quite good,
Taking age and neatness into account, I find, on looking through the entries, that the best effort in the Senior Section was that of a colouring of the "Frigidaire" advertisement sent in by
Daphrie Ho (aged 14), 17 Belfran Rond, Kowloon Tong; whilst in the Junior Section the winner is
Grace Lau (aged 7), 518-Nathan Rond, Kowloon,-who-chose- Caldbeck, Macgregor's advertisement of Dry Sack sherry..
Will the winners call at the "Telegraph" Office for their prizes? Specially commended for good work are Pauline Strange, Isobel Morrison,. Fernando Alves, Celeste Marnies. Regina Xavier, Mimi du Rozo, Mary Lau, nmongst the Ho Shuk-chun and Elicen Grant
dos Remedios, Senlors; and Fred Ha, Violetta Charlie Churn, Corrado Gorla, Robert Lau and Louisa da Silva amongst the Juniors,
NEW COMPETITION
Now, children, I'm going to give you something quite now for this week's Competition. I want you all to try to make a cut-out picture, Let me explain how to do it.
All you have to do is to cut out any parts of pictures appearing in this issue of the Telegraph or the Supplement (advertisements or otherwise) and stick them on a piece of paper or cardboard so as to make a complete picture. You should take care to arrange the pieces so that they make a complete scene of somo kimi.

How an Aeroplane Works
No. 4. The Tail
IT is by means of the tail that an neroplane is steered and minde to go up or down..
The steering is done with the Rudder A, which is the vertical part,
of the tail. This is hinged just like a ship'a rudder and is moved to left or right" na 're. quired by means of pedals in the cockpit operated by the pilot.
To cause the machine to ascend or descend, the Eleva- tors Bare brought into use. These form the horizontal part of the tail and.
the plot controla them by means of the "Joy-stick."
The way in which both the rudder and the elevators de what is requi 'can ba followed. from the diagram C. When ofther of them is moved into such a position as
that shown, they present an obstruc-
tion to the ale which strikes the rudder or elevator and forces the fall und of the Aeroplane round or up na in- dicated by the arrow D and this makes the nose point in the required direc. tion.
Look out for more of this series next wook.
