SIMPLE "GOOD MANNER" RULE
"Do as You Would Be Done BY" Is the
Root of All Forms Of
Etiquette.

If you are puzzled about a question
of etiquette and have not time to con-
suit an older or more experienced
friend or relative apply the golden
rule-to do as you would be done by
for this will almost always bring you
out of your difficulty with flying colors.
The expression "a natures gentleman"
is often applied to some supplemented
and unsophisticated man who is thus
guided; for, whether one be gentle or
simple, the truest good breeding" is
shown by care for the feelings of,
others. The real great lady" is as
thoughtful and co%nsiderate for those
beneath her in social position as she.
would be for royalty, though she would
show her thought in a different fash.

brusque, rough N who confounds
a pleasant manner of speaking with
insincerity is greatly to be pitied, for
she has thrown away her scepter and
lost her crown.

TURBINE ENGINE is DEFINED
Eikened to Paper Windmills Pinned
to End Of Stick and Played
With by Children.

There are probably few people out
side the ranks of engineers h now
what a turbine is. THE best idea I
can give Of it," said an engineer, rs
to liken it to those paper windmills
which spin on the end of a stick. and
which are sold to children In the
streets. A turbine, in fact, is like a
series of these revolving wheels fixed
one behind the other, only instead Of
being turned by the wind, it Is re-
volved by jets of steam. The turbine
wheels turn on a shaft inside a cyl
inder, in the interior of which are
fixed a number of stationary blades
which project into the spaces between
each wheel. The purpose OF these
blades is to catch the steam and d.
rect 1t on to the wheels at an ahgfss
where 1t will exert the most force. AS
the steam enters the cylinder it is
caught by the stationary blades and
DETECTED on to the blades of the first
wheel, which are set turning. The
steam then passes to the next, until
all the wheels are set whirling and
the ship is driven through the water"

SCREW PROPELLER IN CASING
Mr.. Yasuzo Wadasaki Makes Sugges
ton to Increase Efficiency OF Ma-
rine Turbine Engine.

With a view to enabling marine ti1r.
bine engine propellers to work at
higher efficiency, Mr.. Yasuzo Wada'
gaki, in a paper before the Northeast
Coast Institution of Engineers and
Shfpbuilders, proposes to use a metal
lie casing surrounding the screw pro
peller, the forward and aft ends of
which are f1ared into bell-mouth shape,
with a cross-sectional ara gradually
contracting from the two ends toward
the screw propeller, a Scientific
American. By this arrangement the
forward velocity of the water, which
is impaired by the fractional pull of
the ships side, is accelerated, until at
the most contracted part Of the chan
mel, where the water is acted upon by
the screw propeller, the velocity rises
to a maximum, the propeller operating
Gin water having a relative velocity
much higher than the forward speed
of the vessel" BY this device Mr.
Wadagaki believes the slip will be
reduced and the screw propeller eff
cheney proportionately increased.

Many house holders employ a mar

has come to the rescue by ~invent1ng
a truck on which the ash barrel or

with ease and freedom. The truck
resembles an ordinary baggage truck,
except that the side bars converge at
the top into a single handle, and IN q
slot near the top of these bars Is a
sliding hook which engages the tops
of barrels or cans. There are two
claws on the hook, thus giving 1t o
latitude. Heretofore the operation OF
rolling out the ash barrel meant to
envelop oneself in a cloud of dust, and
it was a job that could not safely be
trusted to a woman servnat-hence
