DON'T BE TOO ROMANTIC
on YOUR HONE YMOON

The craving for romance has spoiled
many a honeymoon for woman. she
plans in her own mind a period OF time

matter-of-fact husband insists on drives,
excursions and other pleasurable ways or
spending the time. Titus she spoils the

evolve itself into routine OF common
So do not strive after a fantastic ideal

make your honeymoon real holiday as
well as the prelude 10 your married life.
Remember, too, II should be time OF
growing together and Of learning the
petty foibles of each others character
istics that in counting days were hidden
by mask OF reserve;
Love may be blind; but sometimes mar
riage gives IL sight Thus, unless II be
very real, there is the danger that that
sight may Kill Illusion and spoil two
lives. OF course, Jack has grown to re-
gard you as an angel in courting days.
Then don't let a few hours solitude
spring too suddenly on him the fact OF
your humanity. Try and keep up the an
gels prestige by continuing the sweetness
and wiles OF courtship. and let him see
that you expect TO find the lover In the
husband, too.
Begin both OF you as you intend 10 go
on, for as you start TO mould your lives
during your honeymoon, so VIII they de-
velop as the years go by. Start by being
welded lovers. and don't slip into tho
commonplace attitude OF indifference TO
small details. Value kisses and petty
attentions as you valued them before that
plain gold band found a resting place on

the fact in mind that love is yours I'm all

Don't take all your outfit with you. This

IL Is probable that you only contemplate

Don't only take new gowns. Even for
your wedding trip the weather cannot be
altered. and IL is more than likely that
you will have wet days when you will
grudge wearing your nice clothes.
Don't spend all your money, or indeed

There were five boys out at this sng- gestion with picks and rakes, working and sweating like Trojans. In day or two the street was cleaned up nice ly. The city teams came and carteI the rubbish off.

Flying Machines. Not Balloons
SUMMARIZING these various achiev

SUMMARIZING these various achievements and
many others, and having in mind the recently con-
Guided contract of the French Government with two
enterprisng Americans for the construction of an
aerodrome, similar to that upon which they had
five miles in length, it is perhaps safe to predict
that the outcome is to be a flying machine; not
balloon, but capable Of sustaining fight, de
pendent alone upon the power of its motors.
That such machine be constructed admits
of mathematical demonstration; but there is
occasion to worry the non-techncal reader with
questions of horse power and motor weights and
necessary aeroplane surface Nor is it needfu to
weigh the respective merits of aeropanes of large
extent, relying upon small propelers to float them
upon air currents, and of the aeroplane and screw
combined in one. 1t is sufficient to note that the
trend of thought is toward the latter school.
This would point to the development of two kinds
of machine, comparable in a degree to the bicycle
and quadricycle the first consisting of a light
carriage for person, containing suitable motor
and sustained by two propellers revolving
in opposite directions the shaft and capable
of detection from the vertical to any desirable angle
toward the horizon; and the second to an elongated
of much greater capacity sustained by series
of similar propellers.
Machines of either type should be able to rise
vertically in the air to any desired height and then
by detection toward the horizon of the propeller
earth's surface; the flight being resultant between
the lifting power of the screws and the horizontal
Inclination. Reversing the process, the machine

It's Regulation and Limitations
By EDWIN M. HOOD

THE promise of to-day is the fulf1ment of
tomorrow. and perhaps the time is
at hand when thoughtful minds should
- begin to forecast the to be
adopted to regulate in
the future passage through the air of the fly
ing machine. This can scarcely with propriety be
called aerial navigation, but rather aerodromics,
to use the word coined by the late 1amented Pro-
fessor Langley. For undoubtedly what is in the
public mind regarded interesting because
largely spectacular and dangerous experiment is in
the future destined to become solid practical
reality, and within certain degrees of precision,
aerodromes are to leave the earths surface at
stipulated hours to make well-defned flights.
1t is not within the scope of the present article
to review the history of the development of aerial
flight from the days of the Montgohers balloon,
down through the countless efforts of daring in
ventors to control the direction of the great gas
bags, first by hand, and then by power driven
devices, eliminating in Santos Dumont's brilliant
achievements. Nor is it possible to detail the
more scientific experiments of Langley who first
of ALL overturned Newtons fornue and demon
strated mathematically the practcabilty of sup
porting in air mechanically body heavier than the
liquid in which it floats; or of the Australian Har-
greaves of Hiram Maxim; or of that martyr to
science, Lilienthal.
