Studying Upper Air
With Aid Of Kites

To assist the Weather Bureau in
able systematic study of the me-
chanics of the upper atmosphere, the
government has established an aero
logical station near Elk City, Neb.
The May Popular Mechanics Maya
zine gives an account of the work be-
ing done there. Conditions prevail
ing at elevations UP to approximately
two miles are being determined by
means of self-recording instruments
attached to box kites which are
flown regularly.
In the past our weather predic-
lions have been based upon observa-
lions made at the ground, or in the
lower strata of air. The place
where storms originate, however, is
in the zone lying between one and
three miles above the earth. The
Inaccuracies of forecasts are due lar
gely to the observers ignorance of
conditions existing in the actual
storm region. By having a fairly
continuous record of the wind veloci-
ty. temperature, tarometric pressure,
and humidity of the upper air, fore
caster has quite complete data from
which to make accurate determine
tons. 1t is primarily for the purpose
of collecting information of this kind
and obviating the greatest chances
for mistakes in weather predictions,
that the kite-fying station is being
operated.

GROW MORE PEARS
American Fruit Raiser Seems To Be
Missing a Chance.

Why is it that the American fruit
grower is not paying more attention
to pear growing? There are several
reasons. There are many difficulties
in the way, and some of them have
not seemed worth while to try to ov-
ercome.
Among these and most serious is
that Of blight. Given favorable con-
ditions, the disease moves rapidly
and some varieties seem to be very
susceptible to it. Clapp's Favorite is
little worse than Bartless, and both
of them are subject to it; even kief-
fer, once it becomes affected, may
succumb.
The pears which seem to be least
Influenced by it, in other words, those
which are most resistant to it, are
those with a russell skin, such as
Seckel, Bose and Winter Nelis. In
addition these are all high quality
pears; in fact, there is nothing better
than the three mentioned. The OBJ
ject of plant breeders today is to
qualities of these varieties, and in
which this immunity to blight is fully
developed.

there are probably no varieties in
which there is more money than
those given. For those demanding
a succession for home use the list
might contain such standard varie-
ties as Manning's Elizabeth, Tyson
and Wilder for early pears, Clapp,
Seckel and Bartlett as standard sum-
mer varieties, with Sheldon, Bose,
Winter Nelis and Anjou for standard
fall and winter sorts. Those desiring
a longer list can find it, also pears
which will keep later in the season.
For the States South of the Mason
and Dixon line it would probably be
necessary to confine pear growing to
some of the japanese varieties such
as Kieffer, Carbon and LIE Conte, but
even in these situations for home use
there is a possibility of trying some
of the russell type pears, such as Win
ter Nelis and Bosc.-Samuel Fraser,

The Tear

When friendship or love our sympa-
thies move,
When truth in glance should ap-
pear,
The lip may beguile with a dimple or
smile,
But the sign Of affections tear.
Too oft is a smile but the hypocrite
vile,
To mask detestation or fear;
Give me the soft sigh, while the
soul-telling eye
Is dimmed for time with a tear.
Mild charity's glow, to us mortals
below,
Shows the soul from barbarity
clear;
Compassion will melt where this yir-
tue is felt,
And it's dew is diffused in tear.
The man doomed to sail with the
blast of the gale,
Through pillows Atlantic to steer,
AS he bends DER the wave, which
may soon be his grave,
The green sparkles bright with a
tear.
The soldier braves death for fanci-
full wreath
In glory's romantic career,
But he raises the foe, when in battle
laid low.

Keep a stiff upper lip.
Don't give way to despair
Or give up your grip
AS you tussle with care.
Just stick to the scrap,
Don't be ready to stop.
Chance may fix it. mayhap,
That you'll finish on top.
If your battle is just,
Don't give in at blow;
Don't get ratified or fused
Or let i'll temper show.

Betwixt seeker and goal,

And yourself in control.
When you're down you're not out,
If you'll get up again,
You are not put to rout
Till you run from your men.
Give back blow for blow.
Just so long as you fight;
There is always a show
To succeed, if you re right.

Dos md Dont's
In Will Making

In the May American Magazine
Charles S. Cutting, who is one OF
Americas foremost authorities on
probate law and for many years was
Judge of the probate court in Chi
cago, gives the following directions
for making safe will that can't be
broken:
L. Before you consult anybody,
decide how you propose to leave your
property.
20. If the disposition to be made
is simple, any ordinarily skilled per-
son can draw your will.
80. If your will is complicated in
Guiding trusts. life estates and so
forth, employ the most skilled drafts
man within your acquaintance.
"a. Do as your legal adviser tells
you as to matters concerning which
there may be doubt.
IS. Be sure to comply with all for
malities required by the statute. es-
pecially the following:
"6. Subscribe your name to the
will in the presence of witnesses.
~. Declare it to be your will in
their presence.

sign in your presence.
80. If you sign by mark, or for
any reason are unable to write your
name, have at least three witnesses
to the fact of your signing by mark
or that you requested some other
person to write your name.
10. Ask people who have long
known you and who have no doubt

your will.
I'll. Place your will in the custody
of some perfectly responsible person
or corporation, or in some receptacle,
as a safety deposit vault, which can
not be opened after your death with
out the presence of public officials.
~. Remember that any provi-
sion you make for your wife is an of
fer to her to purchase from her her
statutory rights, and that if she
chooses she may reject your offer and
take under the statute.
DOn'ts.
q. Don't put off making will
until you are ill and your disinherit-
ed relatives will say that your mind
is affected.
p. Don't believe that making
your will will hasten your death.
49, In States where the statutes
give a widow dover only in her hus-
bands real estate, don't get the idea
that she will be the owner in fee of
one-third of his realty.
a. Don't attempt to tie up your
estate for long period, providing
for ultimate distribution IN the dis
tant future. Courts are very apt to
find ways to construe such will con-
trary to your intention.
''5. Don't let your will be the We
hicle of conveying to posterity your
hatred or dislike of individuals.

This Man Proved The
Value of Advertising

In the American Magazine is the
story of a very wealthy man who
made his fortune through an adver--
Using scheme. In front of a small
store in New York city crowd was
looking at a novel article exhibited
in the window. The advertising
man introduced himself to the pro-
prietor of the store and said:
You have something here that IS
worth fortune if advertised. l want
to advertise it"
81 don't believe much in advertis-
ing" said the man.
'I'll make you proposition. If
triple the sales of the article in three
months will you give me half in
terest in the business?"
After an hours talk the other con-
scented. Inside of five days he called
his new partner up on the phone and
begged him to stop as he was sold
out ten times over the capacity of
his plant. The advertising man took
a half interest in the business, rent
ed five-story building, advertised
for workers-and inside of a month
had increased the output of the ar
ticle forty-fold and extended his field
to other cities

LABOR AND LIQUOR
Many Millions Now Tied Up In Liq-
uor Business. Released For Legiti-
mate Enterprises, Would Bring
Happiness to Many Homes In
Maryland.

1t is a little bit remarkable that
the labor element fails to grasp the
tremendous significance there is in
the tying up of the many millions on
dollars now invested in the liquor
traffic which would put into remun-
erative occupations many thousands
of working men, if invested in decent
enterprises.
What does the laboring man want?
In the &rst place, as we under
stand it. he wants fair chance.
Second, he wants steady employ
ment and good wages.
Who is to furnish the fair chance?
We answer, the consumer; the man
who has an appetite to satisfy and
something to spend for its satisfac-
ton; the man who loves to see his
wife and children well dressed; the
man who builds comfortable home
in which to live; the man who pays
his debts.
Without this man multiplied by
many thousands, manufactures would
close and employees would walk the
streets in idleness. Without him
retail shops would go out of business
and clerks would become hungry.
Who makes possible the hanging
out on the factory door the sign,
More men wanted?" 1t is the con-
sumer, and the manufacturer who
employs the most men to produce
one dollars worth of goods is kept in
business by the man who does not
spend his money for booze.
Left Jones, member of the Brit
ish Parliament, once said:
Il met the finished product of the
saloon. He was lying in the gutter.
He had on no hat; the hat trade was
suffering. His coat was full of holes;
the clothing trade was suffering. He
had holes in his shoes; the shoe
trade was suffering He had on the
remnant OF shirt; the wooden trade
was suffering. He had no socks; the
hosiery trade was suffering. He was
dirty; the soap trade was suffering.
l can hardly mention a useful trade
that was not suffering because Of
that mans insobriety."
The sober man has money to spend
to meet his needs, and the manufac-
turer supplies those needs The
clothing trade is prosperous; it's
workers prosper also. The grocery
trade, the butcher, the breadmaker
ali prosper because the man who
does not drink spends his money for
the necessities of life.
The man who drinks supports the
drink industry-that's all.
The drinking business, or the
drink-making factories, employ few
er men to the million of capital in
vested than any other large manu-
featuring enterprise.

Mr.. Blossom was an insurance clerk in
MS Fathers office in st. Louis when he
hrst played at writing magazine stories.
AS editors to show his manuscripts con-
slderation, and as checks for accepted
stories began to come to him, Mr.. Bios
som, wisely turned his attention to serious
thoughts OF writing as a means of livell-
hood. This encouragement determined
him to try more ambitious writing, with
the result that THE Documents in Evil
dence,' love story, was accepted by one
or the leading magazines. He then en-
tered field entirely different lie vis-
tied the racetrack and studied the char
acters there, which resulted first in his
book, later dramatized by himself into
a play, entitled Checkers" familiar to
millions OF Americans. 1t was at this
time of his career that he abandoned the
writing of plays to become librettist.
1t was early in tho year 1914 that Joe
Weber. OF Weber-Field fame, by some
good chance, was able TO bring Mr. Her
bert and Mar. Blossom together again for
the writing of musical comedy. with the
result that "The Only Girl" was produced
that year, to be followed later by "Prin-
cess Pat" which is also one of the col
