 Montessori Kid.

Apropos of the Montesso1 method and other radical changes introduced in the education and upbringing of children, F. Irving Fletcher, the bril- liant afterdinner speaker, said at a tea at Sherry's in New York.
 An old-fashioned mother was about to spank her little girl She laid her. therefore, in the oldfashioned way across her knee. But the child had Montesson ideas, and before the slip per could descend she swung round on her face and said:

How to Tell Mastoiditis.

MOTORCYCLE RECORD
COAST-TO-COAST
Baker, the Indian Rider, Tells
How He Made the
Trip
By Erwin G. Baker

While / arrived in New York City
at midnight May 14th, clipping ap-
proximately 8 days from the previous
transcontinental record, according TO
my way of thinking 1 really achieved
the feat months before.
What l mean by that is-thorough
preparations and endless calculation
preceding the trip is what brought me
through.
First, / laid out my route--a mat
ter of no small importance in select
ing roads and towns through which to
pass. Then having done this / en-
listed the cooperation of a weather
expert and together we examined
weather conditions over my chosen
territory for ten years past. Analysis
showed that contrary to general opin-
ion, May was the best month for me
to undertake a oast-to-coast ride on
a motorcycle. So, relying on the
weather's performances, l determined
to start in May, leaving San Diego on
the 3rd at IL o'clock Eastern time.
The weather ran true to form and
did not hit rain until after 1 had got
ten east of the Mississippi Valley ut
which point l struck gravelly roads
which absorbed moisture readily and
give me minimum trouble. This was
just as had planned. I followed be-
hind a storm area trailing from west
to east and struck no storm until an
other one finally caught up with me.
During the rainy period covered one
stage of 70 miles through wind and
water on one hour and SIS minutes
Another matter of foresight which
helped me was the planting of tanks
of gasoline ahead of me at remote
spots where l knew that no gas would
have been obtainable. Thus 1 avoided
fuel troubles.
Still another factor of course was
my machine. I rode 1914 Fl. p.
