able motor and steer 1t as quickly, surely
and easily as one can a canoe on a

rides on the upperside of the canoe, but
on the underside of the kite as chicken

He may mount his machine and rise
from the earth without assistance or
bouyant gas. and when his flight is ended
may land with perfect safety on any
fair field. Indeed. the machine when once
complete will be as durable as a sail

What the cavalry is to the army, a
fleet or brigade of these machines would
be to a regular navy.
They would be cheap, durable, very
easy to handle and no expense to keep

no more than a good cavalry horse.

BY Judd Mortimer Lewis
The gladdest thing On all the world
Is youth, footloose and free;
Youth, careless as the summer breeze.
Youth, whlstling DER hill and dale;
Youth. barking to the call
OF wildwood folk, of oriole
And mockbird hooking all.
Youth, free to lie beneath the shade,
OF maple tree and beech
From morning blue till purple night
Or walk the sandy beach
beside the never quiet sea,
Or to walk inland ways
Careless and prodigal of JOY
And of the fleeing days.
The youth Of the old world Is good
kerewed each perfumed spring.
The youth that sets the whole wildwood,
The whole world, burgeoning-
All kinds of youth-and any kind
But mans own youth TO me
Is fairer far than youth of wood
Or earth or bird or bee.
The youth all unafraid that looks
Adowr the coming years,
The youth that hopes for everything
and knows no moments fears,
The youth, ciear-eyed and ready-thewed
Lifes trimming cup to quaff,
Ready TO meet or JOY or woe
And greet it with a laugh.

THE WoNDRoUs WISE.

Some men there are In lifes estate,
Possessed of wisdom more
Than tbs the usual plan of Fate
In one small head to store
That Fate was blind, It's very plain,
At these wise mortals' birth,
To weight their heads with ponderous
brain,
When others have such dearth
Nothing exists that hath escaped
The vastness OF their ken;
On every theme their Views are shaped,
From gods to setting hen.
Had they been tiled where Eve trans
crossed,
They would have scoffed the tree;
Since all of knowledge they possessed,
Where else could knowledge be?
And yet to their opinion wise
Tho world they do not bend;
IT'S plain It lacks the intellect
Their sense to apprehend.
In this blest fact our safety lies
For which our thanks ascend;
Did they direct our energies,
Where would our planet end

But now II seems
As II I only have to go

And I can find them all. know,

I do not even shut my eyes.

And pretty soon, wide open flies

All things L want come through to me.
And can go

POEMS YOU OUGHT TO READ

many a song,
Do welcome with their choir tho sum-
mer's queen;
The meadows fair, where Floras gifts
among
Are intermix'd with verdant grass be-
tween;
The silver-scaled fish that softly swim
Within the sweet brooks crystal watery
stream.
All these, and many moro of His creation
That made the heavens, the angler oft
doth see;
Taking therein no little delectation,
To think how strange, how wonderful
they be!
Framing thereof an inward contempla-

To set his heart from other fancies
free:
And while he looks on these with joyful
eye,
His mind is wrapt above the starry sky.

It was wonder full to see his effort to make himself heard. and how the effort succeeded.

 There was a deep murmur of indig- nation. but few cries were raised.

 This story puts a premium on strength. It is an Old Testament illu- imitation of the New Testament text: Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might"
 Strength Is shown in part to be a matter of heredity in the prenatal d. rections given to the mother of Sam son. Every child born into this world has a right to this heritage. Parents who wilfully. carelessly or fgnorantly neglect the conditiins are not worthy of the sacred office of percentage. The retaliation of nature is swift and sure Parents must suffer with their ill-born cffsprings.
 civilization which makes good pa- rentage difficult or fairly impossible Is not worthy the name It ignorantly heaps up wrath against itself. The tax for the support of ill-bornS and de- fective children is becoming a consid- erable item. They are counted by the hundreds of thousands. if not by the millions.
 It is a silly and costly squeamish ness which taboos this subject in public addresses. Better prevent the birth of unfit children by public instruction than sheepishly attempt to account for them later.
 Never in the history of America has higher premium been put upon good health. People are taught to think strength and beauty. 1t Is no longer good form to talk diseases and symp- toms. Rational ventilation, diet and exercise are advocated and practiced ss never before.
