Report has it that thousands upon
thousands of boys are reading these
books and that their reading may he
taken as a sure indication Of present
day taste. Decidedly all are not
limitedly boys books. In fact a man
could read them all and not consider 1t
time wasted. Treasure Island" and
1.-THE Call of the Wild" are favorites
Of the seniors.
And this brings to mind a noteworthy
fact about so-called juvenile books,
Take Robinson Crusoe." 1t is deemed
primarily a boys book. But 1t never
was and never is until 1t is abridged
and put in boys language. 1t also
calls forth the question what is the
age when boys become possessed of
the Unsuitable desire for fiction and
romance? Is It 9 years of age? Some
boys are hard fiction readers before
that In the days of the dime novel
the demand for fiction reading that was
understandable seemed to he met but
to the boys detriment. AS boy gets
older he will seize with avidlty more
mature fiction. It's the same as the
grownups are reading. But are
ten to twelve year old boys readini

taken out by their fifteen-year-old
brothers. They are readers of the best
sellers" also.
Looks as II the dime novel boy mind
had vanished into thin air. Girls the
same. They read the books of theii
elders and cannot get new ones quickly
enough. Sneering critics interviewed
say that girls read nowadays even
"slushler" stories than forty years ago
but inquiry at the source does not bear
1t out. Some girls of course still turn
to the old variety. There Is still serial
running that not many weeks ago pub

of it runs this way:
| "Gwendolyn, singing, burst Into the

In contrast to the selected text of the

to reflect the taste of the average 1914
boy. II depicts a college cane rush.
"They were still Juggling at 1t when

girls Of varying ages. This always was
conceded. But there was a craze at

total OF $ll6500, offered in France for

Among the entries are a dozen OF

ing that so large a number have been
entered, in view of the fact that the
parachute can be OF no use except In
mishaps at a height OF 300 feet or
more. The great majority OF serious
accidents have occurred quite near
the ground
The parachute, of course, is only in

air, they are not likely TO be many.
In any case, parachutes would be OF
no use; the shock, and the general
disintegration OF apparatus, would put
the parachute out OF the question.
Nevertheless, there are pro-parachut-
lists on the committee,
An even greater number of auto
matte stabillzers are in the list. The
objections against all stabilizers are
that they are a complication; that
they are OF no value in rough air
close to the ground, for they cannot
always operate I'm time To prevent a
bad smash in landing and that II the
mechanism gives out the pilot is in
bad way, because he has not the skill
OF the pilot who flies without such
aids
StabiliZers. therefore, are OF value
only for easing the labor OF plotting;
they fail to solve the problem OF Sc
curity.
Many naturally stable" machines
are entered These differ from the
others in that the form and arrange
ment OF the planes keep the machine
on a level keel without the aid OF
any mechanical operation. They are
open TO the same objections, however,
save that they are not subject TO fail
ure through getting out OF gear.
So far as authorities are in favor
of the stabilized machine. the weight
OF opinion Is on the side of natural
stability and against mechanical.
The only British design in the com
petition is the Dunno naturally stable

censees.
Interesting entries are the S1hmidt
