Elbows.
If elbows all should disappear
'TwouId make it rather hard. we rear,
For those of us who like to drink
Or eat or tie OR ties, you'd thlnk,
And If we tried to brush our hair
We'd have to give up in despair.
An elbow, it is very true,
Is not exactly fair to view,
And vet how would the human race
'Tis thee, oh Elbow, we anoint,
Thrice blessed Hinge and matehlesa
Joint
How could We shaves or tie q shoe
or read the paper, wanting You?
How could we bow or skin the cat
Or scratch our ear or tip our hat
or wind the clock or milk the COW,
oh Elbow, were it not for ttou!

The man who never sticks to any
thing is the one most often stuck.
Sure.
Good health will save you lots of grpmps,
Health is the one best bet,
For anyone is in the Dumps
When be is all Upset

Some of the people who get along
are the hardest to get along with.
Most any man is likely to feel cheap
when he gives himself away.
It's hard to agree with the man who
doesn't agree with himself.
There seems to be several pretty

the months when the ground routes
are blocked.
Questions of cost and of safety arise.
An English authority has drawn up a
detailed plan for mail and paSsen-
ger service operating between London
and Paris, with four aeroplanes each
way daily. He calculates all expenses
down to pounds. shillings and pence,
and the result shows that such a SER
vice could be established tomorrow
and carry passengers for a fare that
would exceed the boat and rail fare
Ivy only few shillings. The prsctica.-
bility of such service is guaranteed by
the performance of huge aeroplanes.
Machines have been built of 1900
horsepower, in which eleven men
have flown from Paris to Rome in a
night Machines carrying a ton of
explosives are flying daily in France.
A monster Handley-Page biplane will
rise to 10000 feet altitude carrying
two small monoplanes with aviators
on its wings, and launch them in the
air.
The factor of safety has been great
~ increased. The battleplane is not
built for safety, but machine con-
structed for commercial purposes
could be built. say the experts, so that
passengers would be exposed to no
greater risks than were those who
Travelled in the early automobiles.
The next few years will undoEbted-
ly see an immense extension of the
commercial use of the aeroplane. The
United States should not fall behind
again in making the fullest use of this
American invention

A delegation of dentists was on hand to voice their objections to features of the bill, es- pecially to that feature which requires four meetings of the dental board q year. The objection of the dentists to that was that the legislature has never made provision for the expenses of more than one meeting. As q result. the bill will be amended by the appro- priation of a fund sufficient for four meetings.

 There was no understanding how ever. as to what the republicans might do with bills other than the revenue measure iu case some of them should hold to their determination to force on extra session in order to have con- eress in session for developments in the European emergency.
