 For my part, Zapp, I am content to stay out of airy-oplanes till they get so common that talking about flying in 'em will be so much q tropic of con- versation as saying ain't 1t rotten weather, we are having" Birsky de- clared. At the same time, Zapp, think that time is coming fast, on ac- count I seen it in the papers where over in Europe they are learning a great deal from airy-oplanes, and that after the war is over, Zapp, they will make big Improvements in 'em."
 1.-The idea of Airy-o Club of Ameri- ca," Zapp said, lis that we shouldn't wait till the war is over but we should go right ahead experimenting on our own account init airy-Oplanes, and learn from one accident to another just what it was about the airy-opiane that killed the airy-onaut. One mem- Der of the club in particular feels quite sore that we should be willing to learn by Europe's mistakes and not by our own, so he is offering trophy for an annual airy-oplane competition for flying across the continent"
 'What for, a trophy?" Birsky asked.
 "He didn't say" Zapp replied. but the chances is it would be widder in sterling silver holding in her right hand cancelled insurance policy and underneath the motto: Kindly omit flowers"
 And he expects that American airy-onauts will risk their lives flying to the Pacific coast for such prize?" Birsky said. T suppose the second prize is a safety razor with twelve blades and styptic pencil in leatherine case complete, and the third prize a years subscription to any two of the monthly magazines. It's too bad that the North Pole was discovered before this here member of the Airy-o Club started in to offer prizes, Zapp. He

Am I right or wrong?"
 "Yes and no," Zapp said, "because while your idee is a good talking point for the president of the Airy-o Club, Birsky, supposing he does prom onaut, he stands a chance to leave a rich widder provided the wedding takes place before the accident. y understand, where is the inducement? The fact of the matter is, Birsky, that the members of the Airy-o Club of America is starting in from the wrong end. What them fellers should ought to do is to get after the manufactur- CTS to make up a line of semi-safe airy-Oplanes, where if you fly in 'em, y'understand, you will stand show for your life somewheres between feller working in a powder mill and

chewino Gum Out of Place.

Marion was fond of chewing gum, and one morning before she was dressed her papa gave her piece. which she chewed vigorously, but In some way part of 1t came in contact with her nightie and stuck. That night when her mamma put her to bed she undressed her in dimly-lighted room, therefore the gum on the nightie was not discovered. Marion was tucked into bed and her mamma went into the next room to await Mir. Sandman, and just when she thought the little girl was sleeping tiny voice piped up, Mamma, you have my nightie on wrong; the chewing gum belongs in front"

 q guess the president of the Airy Club thought the same thing as you, Birsky," Zapp said, because so soon as he got the letter from the member who offered the trophy he comes right back with an offer of $20,000 for first prize, S15,000 second prize, $10,000 for third prize, $7,500 for fourth prize, and so by degrees down to You done noble for the ninth prize, Fine work for the tenth prize and What detained you? for the 11th, 12th and 18th prizes"
 Sure, know" Birsky commented, Out twenty thousand dollars ain't to be sniffed at, neither"
 "Listen, Birsky," Zapp said. 'There is already entered in the Airy-o Clubs contest thirteen concerns which manu- factures airy-oplanes in the United States, and, so far as I heard 1t, they ain't in business for the benefit they will get from the systematic exercise of making up weekly payroll exact ly. So you can trust them fellers to see to it that enough young billion aires learns to fly to net the manufac- turer anyhow ten per cent on his in- vestment, and that is the secret of airy-oplane preparefulness, Birsky. To the members of the Airy-o Club of America an airy-onaut is only an airy onaut, but to feller in the airy-o- plane business an airy-onaut is some thing more than that. He is a cus- toner, Birsky.

INTERESTS OF RIVER NAvIGA- TON WAS DISCUSSED AT THE
 CAMDEN MEETING.

 Within Three Years.

Camden
 The most important meeting ever held in the interest of the Ouachita when Senator Kirby, Congressman Goodwin, Maj. Fisk, U. s. A., E. s. Maupin of Vicksburg, Miss, w. F. Mcknight, Railroad Commissioner George R. Bedding, l.. R. Waddy of Monroe, La., R. E. Eshlman, conner cial agent of the Rock Island, and J. A. Hawkins of the Frisco system, met here with the Camden Public Service Bureau to discuss the year-round navi- gatfon of the Ouachita River
 Maj. Fisk's plan, which was accept ed, provided for the building of lock No. and the dredging of the river from that point north at an estimated cost of between $700,0O0 and $9O0,000. This plan included two-foot increase in the height of locks Nos. 6 and 8, which, in his opinion, would give year-round navigation as far up as Camden, at @ saving to the govern ment of more than million dollars by eliminating the construction of locks 2 and 9. By adopting this plan the river would be ready for permanent use within three years. This will leave the way open much earlier for the extension of navigation to Arka- delphia
 The matter of bringing the nitrate plant to Arkansas was also discussed. Congressman Goodwin said that the only other competitor was Muscle Shoals, Ala, but as the government al- ready owned the site at Hot Springs, that the chances were good for Ar kansas.
