Better Keep Her.

Edgar, who had in his prisons been
making nightly appeals for little
brother, was sent few evenings ago
to visit his grandparents. When he
returned home on the following morn
ing he was informed that the stork
had brought him sister. Edgar was
sadly disappointed and disposed to
hastily conclude that prayer was fu.
tile. After some delay, however, he
consented to permit the nurse to lead
him to the basket in which his little
sister lay. He looked at her long
and earnestly. and then, as if great
weight had been lifted from his mind,
said:
We'll, she looks intelligent, any.

IT is In the management OF stripes
that the artist In apparel has the
best opportunity to show the value
Of ingenuity. Stripes will make up

striking effects. When not we'll
matched and given the right dlrec-
ton. they are a detrIment to the out
lines OF the figure, but may be so used
as to improve It.
In millinery. striped materials are
mainly used for attaining brilliant ef.
fects. They are therefore most effec-
tive In black and white or other
strong contrasts. They look best on
frames with rather severe outlines
and high bows OF striped ribbons arc

AN AVIATION RECORD

All American records for the carry.
ing Of passengers in a heavier than
air machine were smashed the other
day. when George W. Beatty, operat-
ing biplane, carried three persons
with him in the air above the Nassau
Boulevard Aviation field, New York,
and flew over Belmont Park, Garden
City and Mineola for fiftten minutes.
The wind beat against the sides Of
the fragile machine, rocking 1t dan
gerously. and the cold was intense.
but Beatty did not come to earth un.
til he was confident he had done more
In one branch Of aviation than has
any other man in this country. A
smooth, graceful descent to earth
marked the finish Of the trip.
1t was said by several men who saw
the flight that Beatty flew with his
three passengers more than sixteen
miles. Leo Stevens, an aviator, placed
the distance, however. at approx.
mately ten miles. saying no man could
fly with burden of three passengers

Cotton Stalks for Papermakino.

"In the use of cotton stalks for the
manufacture OF paper, great trouble is
caused by the difficulty Of separating
the brown bark, the retention Of
which discolors the resulting pulp,
and so limits the use Of the stalks in
papermaking." says Paper, "but

Ministerial Economy.

Considering his meagre salary, it
was a mystery to economical parish
toner's how the minister could afford
to contribute SO literally to the
church's social affairs, but another
financial expert finally explained that
it was a good investment.
THE money he contributes makes
these entertainments SO attractive"
he said, that the young people fall
in love and marry, and he makes it
back many times over on the wedding
fees"
