the Aero Club were recognized by the
eighteen other members of the Aeronauti-
cal Federation. each representing df-
ferent nation, and as licenses issued by
this government would be recognized by
none of these members, he saw no rea-
son for changing the method OF licensing,
and that any suggestion TO that effect
was undoubtedly made by people VINO
were trying TO secure recognition by the
club.
The power of the club had always been
exerted justly, he added, and without
discrimination. When told OF the state
ment OF a man well known in aviation,
who would not however. permit his name
power OF licensing should be given to eX-
perienced aviators rather than to rocking
chair experts. who did little but talk he
remarked that it must have been made
by the aviator DESTROYS Of publicity. or
else irritated at some enforcement OF the
rules against him.
Orville Wright. doubtless unintention-
ally. entered the controversy yesterday
with fiat statement in q letter TO the
Aero Club, saying there is little doubt
that aero-boats have definitely entered the
wide sporting field Of power boating
Whether they have or not IS precisely the
question according 10 Commissioner
Chamberlain. at issue before the Depart
ment Of Commerce.
Mr.. Wright goes on to say that high
power machines. though faster. are less
efficient than slower I'm that they carry
less pounds per horsepower. The most
useful machines. he SAYS, are those which
can land slowest and ny fastest. He
warns the club against the encourage
ment OF pure speed in aero-boats. lie
suggests that machines be divided into
different classes. according TO the amount
they carry per horsepower and that they
compete according to speed range, l. C.,
their high speed over the course divided
by their slow speed.

Homemade Barometer,

Those who love experimentation may
try the following method of making a
cheap barometer practiced in France:
Take eight grams of pulyerized cam
phor, four grams of pulverized nitrate
OF potassium, two grams of pulverized
nitrate of ammonia and dissolve In
sixty grams of alcohol Put the whole
in long, slender bottle closed at the
top with a piece of bladder containing
a pinhole to admit the air. When rain
is coming the solid particles win tend
gradually to mount. little star crystals
forming in the liquid, which otherwise
remains clear. If high winds are ap-
preaching the liquid will become thick,
as If fermenting. while film OF solid
particles forms on the surface. During
fair weather the liquid will remain
clear and the solid particles will rest
at the bottom

worn both alone and over hood, and

FLAVOR OF FOOD.
IL 10 an important Factor In Digestion
and Good Health.


and Good Health.
If it were not for flavor we should
not digest our food properly. Epicu-
reanism in eating is the handmaid of
good health. Flavor has been called
the soul of food. The viands that are
most agreeable to our sense of taste,
those we enjoy most, are those we are
most likely to digest well and from
which we are most likely to derive the
maximum Of nourishment
A book was devoted to this subject
by Henry T. Finck of New York. He
called 1t Food and Flavor" In a re-
view Of It the Scientific American says:
"The psychic factor of desire must pre-
cede ingestion or results will be unpro-
pitious. To each cent spent for nutri-
ment we add five more for flavor. Fla
vor. in short, has an appetizing value.
q health value, commercial value.
''The evolution of discriminating
appetite and the education Of the cook
must go hand in hand. But your gut-
ton is never an epicure. Rational mas
tication must accompany the highest
enjoyment of food, and in this enjoy
ment lie perfect assimilation and
health. 1t is favor that stimulates the
flow Of the digestive juices; it is the
digestive juices that prepare the food
for the extraction Of nutriment"

Stuffy Winter hogans and Light and
Airy Summer Cottages"
The Navajos are the least gregarious
Of native American tribes, never con-
gregating In towns and villages and
never forming permanent communi-
ties Their homes. called hogans. are
mere novels, built of stones or the
trunks and limbs of trees. with round
ed roofs thickly covered with earth.
A smoke vent in the roof and door
way In the side are the only means OF
ventilation. In cold weather these
cavelike structures are kept tightly
closed, so that no one but an Indian
could live In them at all.
But when springtime comes the
Navajo squaw constructs a summer
cottage, sometimes consisting of no
more than a windbreak of sagebrush
around a circular clear space. Some
times the summer hogan is shady
bower under a desert cedar tree. with
leafy branches piled around as a meas
ure of protection against winds and
sandstorms. Sometimes 1t is a shelter
formed by the utilization of old pieces
of canvas, sheet iron and other cast
away material picked up around the
refuse dumps of the railroad towns.
In any event. the dwellers in the sum-
mer hogans are practically In the oren

Will Remain Firm.
Few women know how to drive a
nail into brick WALL and yet it is
what they often need to do for them
selves Ii there is no man about.
The following method is easy and has
been found entirely satisfactory: Hav-
ing decided upon the exact spot into
which the nail is desired to be driven.
which must be in the plaster between
the bricks, provide yourself with a
hammer and screwdriver. With these
tools commence working out the hard
plaster by tapping the handle of the
screwdriver AS the plaster turns to
dust 1t must be blown or busted out so
that the size OF the hole may be seen.
When a space about one inch long and
nearly one inch deep has been worked
out get small piece of wood about
the same size and with the hammer
wedge 1t tightly into the space. When
1t seems firm take the nail and drive it
into the wood. 1t will go in nicely,
without bending. and remain firm an
indefinite length of time This same
method was used at one time when 1t
was decided to hang a hammock be-
tween the fence and the wall, with the
exception that the hole was dug out a
little longer and deeper than for an or
dinary nail. all.-Minneapolis Journal.

A Reason For Tears.

An amusing story about DR.. Archi-
bald Pitcairne, the physician, Jacobite
and scholar, is told by Francis Watt In
"The Book Of Edinburgh Anecdote."
DR.. Pitcairne was not often a church
goer, but on one occasion he took ref
uge in church from shower of rain.
The sermon was commonplace, but the
preacher was emotional, and he wept
copiously and, as 1t seemed to Pit
cairne, irreleyantly. He turned to the
only other occupant of the pew, a
stolid countryman, and whispered,
What on earth gars the man greet
(weep)?
you would maybe greet yourself"
was the solemn answer, "if you was
up there and had as little to say"

Clever Hogues Who Study the Weak

An accomplished mendicant, like a
clever salesman, studies his customers

1t is of interest to note the skiIful
methods whereby a certain class of
Partisan beggars play upon the super
stitions of their victims
There is a common saying in France
that giving aims brings good fortune,
saying that has not been overlooked
by the Partisan beggar. If one visits

This sinister prediction always takes
effect. The collegian pulls out his
purse, and the beggar turns away

A certain rich man who was very
extravagant in his tastes became pos
sessed of the idea that he had just SO
many years to live and no more, and
he calculated that if he spent a stated
portion Of his principal every year his
life and his property would expire to-

He was lavishly generous to others

very year he had prophesied would be
his last. He had furthermore brought
