AIR UP 10000 FEET COLD
Even In Hottest Weather Aviator May
Be In Arctic Regions After Flight
Of Ten Minutes.

Aviators experience many different
degrees Of temperature in their flights.
On the hottest day in summer flying
man may be In the arctic regions In
ten minutes by mounting to height
Of 10000 feet, just as the climber may
pass through all the shades Of temper
ature by climbing Kilima-Njaro, that
giant peak which rises above the snow
line from the equator. he commences
with the tropical jungle and ends
amid eternal snow.
The fact Is that the temperature is
invariably low at 10000 feet and over,
whether at the tropics or the poles,
and it is quite likely to be lowered at
the equator. Airmen well know the in
tense cold Of those upper regions, and
they need the rig-out Of Shackleton
if they would mount to 10000 feet
above the earth's surface. In fact,
there is little variation Of temperature
in these upper reaches Of the at
mosphere. It is much the same in sum-
mer as winter, except for the differ
ence which high wind makes.
Even in the depth Of hot summer
the airmen will encounter 40 degrees
of frost at 10000 feet, and at twice
that altitude 100 degrees OF frost-the
temperature of the South pole-is not
unusual.

Strategy.

] He told them he had been an officer
in the National Guard in his home
istate, and the instructors at the Re-
iserve Officers training corps camp at
Fort Benjamin Harrison intended to
make him prove it, says the Indianapo-
lis News. When it came his turn to
Icommand company, he marched the
men back and forth for several min
iutes under the critical eye of an in
!structor. Several times he tied the
company up in knots, but the instruct
or volunteered no suggestions as to
how he should get them out. The
climax came when the temporary COM
mander marched the force bang into
a fence, where perforce it had to
halt. The embarrassment of the stu
dent officer by this time had become
very apparent. He glanced out Of the
corner Of his eye at the instructor, but
said instructor was watching an un-
usual cloud formation. There was
only one thing to do-continue to use
his nerve.
Company, attention" he shouted.

Scarinc Them Away.

Frank A. Vanderlip, chairman Of q
Liberty Loan committee, said in New
York:
"The loan machinery was made easy,
simple end informal, so that all could
come in. We didn't want to scare the
plain people away, you know.
"Some of our past loans did scare
the plain people. They were like the
swagger seashore hotel.
"This hotel was so very swagger
that the guests all felt like inmates
or prisoners.
"There was little man who arrived
there one night and rang his bell for
some Ice water. No answer. He rang
again. Still no answer. Then he put
his finger on the button and held 1t
there till he heard footsteps.
"a knock, and majestic maid en-
tered. She looked at the little man
scornfully.
"'Dld you ring?' she asked.
ayes said he.
"'Humph,' said the maid. who lift
ed you up to the bell|"

First Pension Fund.

In this country the first pension
fund was established by the city Of
New York for policemen. Since then
many states and cities have enacted
retirement legislation, the number Of
retirement funds has increased to
over 400, and many thousands Of pub
lie employees have been covered by
retirement provisions. Although the
expansion of the movement has been
rapid. 1t has by no means reached Its
limit. AS yet number Of states and
cities have not adopted any retirement
legislation; the 300 pension funds for
police and fremen do not include all
employees of these two groups; the
100 teachers pension funds cover only
about half of the teachers, and the re-
naming funds, approximately 40,
cover only small fraction Of all other
classes of federal, state and municipal
employees.

MANS WAY OF DOING THINGS
Mr.. Pickles Gives Demonstration OF
Superiority of His Methods Over
Those Used by Women.

Men who can turn their hands to
any sort Of job that needs doing are
very useful as husbands. Mr.. Pickles
was one Of these useful gentlemen.
His amiable wife once asked him to
hang a picture she had purchased for
the parlor, and he said that he would
do it 'in a jiffy."
"You just get me the cord and
picture hook" he said to his wife, "and
tell the servant girl to run down into
the cellar and bring up the stepladder
and carry 1t into the parlor, and
where's those two little screw thing
ummys that go into the back Of the
frame at the sides to put the cord
through? Look them up for me; and
7 shall require the gimlet to bore o
little hole for the screws. Somebody
get the gimlet, or maybe can drive
them in with q hammer. Johnny, you
run down into the cellar and get the
hammer. Perhaps q chair would be
better than the stepladder. Some
body 60 out into the kitchen and get
me q chair. I don't want to stand on
one Of the parlor chairs. Got that
cord? Just measure off about the right
length, and fasten it to those little
things at the side. There, now; there's
your picture hung up, and no fuss
about it. The difference between US
men and you women is that when we
have anything to do we do it. and don't
talk all day about it."

MONEY FROM EARTH WORMS
Old Man Makes Living Gathering
Night crawIers and Other crea-
lures Used for Fish Bait.

The other morning early, during
mild shower, we stepped from our front
door and looked down the gloomy
street, and there saw an old man carry
Ing an umbrella and leisurely walk
ing toward us, stopping every moment
or two to pick up something from the
street, and put it into a large bucket
that he carried on his arm, says the
Ohio State Journal.
We watched until he approached In
front of our domiclle, when our curl
osity could stand it no longer, and so
we went out and asked what he was
gathering, when he held the bucket to
our gaze, and in it was gallon of fish
worms that he had gathered from the
asphalt street. While we were talk
ing he picked up three might crawlers"
at the edge Of the gutter stream. His
ewes were trained to observe those
angle worms, for just then he saw one
across the street, and fastened to put
It In his bucket. We suggested that
he had neglected the gutter in front of
our house, but he looked back and
at a glance said there were no crawl
ers there.
he said his business was fish bait;
that crawfsh was what he gathered
mostly, but that night crawlers were
always more or less in demand, espe-
cially for the less pretentious sport OF
fishing for blue gills. In the dim fu-
ture, when we are in the trenches
shooting the Huns, we will remember
this old man gathering night crawlers,
and wish we were he.

Negroes Famous ae Composers.

There is no doubt that James Bland,
a negro musician, wrote Garry Me
Back to Old Virginia" During the
days Of slavery there were in New Or
leans quite a number Of well educated
negroes, and among them a number
who gained distinction as musical COM
posers. Five Of these were Edmund
Dede, Basil Bares, Lucien Lambert,
Sidney Lambert and Samuel Snaer.
Much of the music that these men
wrote Is Of permanent worth. One OF
the earliest American negro musical
authors was James Hemmenway. His
home was in Philadelphia, and during
the second and third decades Of the
nineteenth century he wrote much
music which by musicians Of authority
Is set down as excellent.

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Dec. Ga

i'm the purser's safe. This morning he
nlaced il i'm his stateroom. He returned

fcials boarded the boat, and discovered
that the box was gone.
Every member of the crew was ex-
amined and the Custom officials were
especially keen in overhauling baggage
but no trace of the box or its contents
had been discovered late this evening.
Pacing the pier as the boat was
shunted into the slip was Mrs. Alice
Cvlla. a Frenchwoman whose husband
was killed in battle three years ago.
The boat carried their son, four years
old. who had been taken TO Jamaica by
his grandmother after his fathers
death. The child spoke English but no
French. and TO him the weeping woman
who clasped him in a smotherng en-
brace was an utter stranger.
