Whether 1T will ever be possible to

aerial propeller is nearly twice as
efficient in driving power as water

principle of "emersion." a term that

<<THE girl of today. the
American girl. our own
New York girl, is MAIN
tanning two very unpleasant
characteristics" says Miss Jane
Grey of the Nearly Married
company. "One is a purely
physical defect. the other is mem
tai; but while either of these two
predominates the girl Of today
can never be wholly charming.
An UNPLEASANT SIGHT
Can anything be more unpleas-
ant to witness than the absolutely
vacant young girl Of today. who
invades the doings Of the younger
set. and who is actually offered
to us as type of American girl?
She may be seen In any of the
tearooms In company with more
OF her kind. or with the hectic
youth who hourishes In polite so-
ciety as the American man. and
who Is most proficient in spend
ing fathers hard earned money.
Notice the aforesaid young
woman and you will very quickly
decide that she is bored with life.
She is one of type. and is too
lazy to realize that through lit
tie will power she might be-
come an Individual. Bored, OF
course she is bored. And why
should be otherwise than bored?
She is perfectly conscious of the
fact that she is boring other
other people, too. Her friends
never seek her opinion-she has
none to give; she is not inter-
ested in any of them. And when
she meets some one who is really
worth while her brain has become
so stunted that she has no power
to exert herself at all. and Is
judged as light and frivolous.
with no thought on anything but
dress and amusement.
Get out Of this rut. girls. and
get into the life with the idea
that whatever you give of your
self that same will come back to
you. Forget the fact that you are
one of type. Forget yourself,
and give your thought to other
things and other people. Be an
individual.
THE OTHER DEFECT
And now for the physical de-
feet. Young girls of today should
be uniformly slim, not thin in one
place and out OF proportion in
another. And still. whenever the
girl of today gains. she gains in
the hips. And Immediately she
begins walking TO reduce. But
how does she reduce2 She walks
rigidly. like wax doll.
"She strolis on Fifth avenue and
stops to look in every shop win
dow. and imagines that she is
becoming thin by the minute Did
you ever stop to wonder why men
never have stout hips? 1t is be-
cause they know how to walk.
They exercise the muscles that
should be exercised. they walk
freely. they feel the hip bone turn
in the socket at every step. They
don't walk stiff1y. and yet they

MANS MIND
In the human system the advancing
sun, whose forward motion prevents

down in a fat ring. is represented by
the aspiring mind of man, which rem
ders him forever discomfort with his
past and his present achievements,
and always striving to bring his re-

] have been led to this semiphilo-
sophical meditation by considering a
very interesting series of facts that
has been called TO my attention con-
cerning the recent application of
aerial propellers to the driving of
boats. This is clearly a return to
the ancient principle of sails, only
now the sail takes a new form, and.
instead of being an inert surface re-
ceiving the force OF the wind and
transmitting it to the hull of the
boat. is becomes an active machine
which creates, so to speak. wind
for itself and. pushing against the
air with it's rapidly revolving blades,
drives the boat forward. Here, then.
is an instance of the most interesting
kind. in which the spirit of progress
has brought man around to a new
phase Of an old mechanical principle.
He has come back TO the air as a
source of motive power in navigation.

point which affords him vast advan-
