"Yonder goes the night force to
work over at the bank" remarked a
man waiting for the owl car after
midnight.

CONGENIAL WORK

"At home ! had heard my father

Nuts and cream and nothing more for
breakfast.
Il concluded il 1t would tide him

ROUCHINc IT ON THE TRAIL
Appetizine Meal Prepared by Guide
with Meager Cooking Facilities
Willow Stick Over Coffee Pot.


Our guide allowed me to assist
him in preparing the breakfast,
though | fancy my assistance might
have been easily dispensed with. He
sagely remarked that if was going
to rough it l might as well begin
learning now as any time. 1t was
astonishing how appetizing a meal
he prepared with the very fewest
conyeniences.
For instance he made bread in the
sack of flour without using a bread
pan. He followed out cavity in
the flour, poured in water, added
salt and baking powder in proper
quantities, then proceeded to mix the
dough. He did another thing in his
cooking that amused me very much.
To prevent the coffee boiling over he
placed small green willow stick
across the open top of the pot. The
lesson in physics soon followed.
The coffee bubbled and then
rushed up to the top as though it
was going TO boil over the sides and
extinguish the fire, but as soon as it
touched the willow it subsidized like
some sentient thing.-Forest and

Airship
Safe
Air Motoring No
More Dangerous
than Land MOTORING
BY WILBUR WRIGHT
Of Airship Fame

No airship will ever fly from New York to Paris
That seems to me to be impossible. What limits the
flight is the motor. No known motor can run at the
requisite speed for four days without stopping and
you can't be sure of finding the proper winds for
soaring. The airship will always be special messen-
GER never ioadcarrier But the history of cviliza-
ton has usually shown that every new invention has
brought in IFS train needs it can satisfy, and
SO what the airship will eventually be used for is
probably what we can least predict at the present.
There is msconception about the safety of fly
ing machines, If the motor stops. We can glide to
the earth. The higher we are, then, the wider our
range of choice for places for descent and in half
