AVIAT0RS ARE POORLY PAID
Even Best Flyers Get Small Re-
muneration for the Dangers
They Face.

The popular supposition that avia-
tion is a sort of Klondike where peo'
ple who have certain amount of dar-
ing can go and snatch up fortune Is
decidedly mistaken. People read re-
ports of big prizes won by aviators in
contests and take for granted that 1t
all goes to tho flyers. That Is wrong;
with a few exceptions the flyers do
not get the prizes they win. They
are employed to fly by big concerns
who pay them salary, seldom ex-
ceeding SIS per week, the usual ar
rangement being from $25 to $40 per
week salary and $50 per day when
they fly at meets. This Is true even
where the very best American and
foreign flyers are concerned, includ-
ing such celebrities as Brookins.
Beachey, Ely and others.
Nor is the lot Of the independent
flyer any better. To keep up with the
flyers of big concerns continuous inn
provement of their machines-which
must, of course, always be of the very
best--is necessary. What with the
cost of the aeroplane, of running 1t,
keeping 1t in good condition. salary Of
mechanic and general expenses. the
prizes the aviator gets become rather
small by the time the expenses are
deducted. The fact that prizes are
now given only to winners of contests
makes the prospect none too attrac-
tice. Aviation does hold prizes for
ambitious young men, but very few
of the kind imagined by the outside
public. In fact, there is slough OF
despond awaiting the unwary who
venture into aviation with no other
intention than to make money quick

Mere Man on Woman.

Sometimes 1t is funny to observe q
woman who steps into a business Of
flee where she has never been before
She comes in hesitatingly, looks all
around, notes the calendars on the
wall, bites her lip, and then wants to
know where she is. But, unlike on n
trolley car, she can't step off back
wards.
A woman who is travelling likes to
carry suitcase, a steamer trunk and
a handbag. When she gets at the end
of the journey she doesn't know what
to do with the steamer trunk, and al
most always nearly loses her hand
bag.
Whenever you see a woman who
has the prettiest ankles in the world,
she wonders, generally, why she isn't
pretty everywhere else. She probably
is, but everybody doesn't know it.
No woman feels at her level best
until she gets her collar off and her
sleeves rolled up, but she wouldn't
have the next door neighbor know it
on her life. Also, she likes the old
kimono, and the older 1t is the better.

Good and Bad Congestion.

A writer in the London Daily Chron-
icle has revived the old dispute as to
the finest line in English poetry. He
quotes Prof. Churton Collins as CIV
ing the palm to line In Swinburnes
'sTristan and Iseult." the line that
says "And all their past came wall
ing in the wind" Certainly that is Q
great line, but the real difficulty. says
the Chronicle scribe. is to nnd the
worst line rather than the best. And
then he tells US OF contest between
Tennyson and FitzGerald as to who
could write the weakest imaginable
Wordsworthian line. They succeeded
in producing: "A Mr.. Wilkinson. .
clergyman" F1tgGerald and Tennyson'
each claimed this fine effort and the
point is still undecided. Can any one
else do better than this?

Marriage at. Fifty.

An interesting and unusual estimate
Of the proper age for matrimony is
that advanced by Mrs. Vivian, head
and founder of the National Society Of
the Daughters of California. The hap
piest and most successful marriages,
she says, are those between the man
of so and the woman of 35. At that
age of discretion. she claims. the male
has become more mellow and tolerant
as well as more solvent. On the other
hand she intimates that girl of 20
is much harder to get along with than
to get along without, and that there
ought to be laws prohibiting people
marrying before they are so years old.
