THE MELTING POT
~COme Take Pot Luck With Us"
ALBERT.
By James j. Montague.

BY James j. Montague.
To kings and such our attitude
Has never been quite reverential
We've thought the most OF EN- good
And altogether on-essential
For instance If the kaiser quit
We sort Of think the German nation
Would gather round and throw ht
OF Joy TO watch his abdication.
But just the same this Albert chap
Who leads his Belgians into action
And chases Fritzies off the map
With very human satisfaction.
Has put across lot OF things
Upon the Heinies and the Hermans,
Which proves TO that not all kings
Are Of the sort that boss the Germans.
He didn't hurry to the rear
The day the guns began to rattle;
He didn't whine in futile fear,
But peeled his coat and went TO battle.
And though his land swept by war
He lost time his hatred hymning,
He put his back against the door
And gave the kaiser's gang a trimming.
His sort of kings very few
Most all the nations have a worse un.
He's just a chap like you.
A calm, plain, simple human person.
1t isn't any wonder that
His Belgian subjects all adore him;
A king, and still a democrat
He's one good guy-and we are for him.

The boomerang was a primitive
fOrerunner of the aerOplane, al
though nobody OWNED its signifc-
ance in that way. If its movements
are analysed it will be found that
they repeat automatically some of
the evolutions of the most daring
aces Each wing Of the aeroplane
is. in itself, a huge boomerang,
though. unlike the real boomerang,
it cannot act Independently, but is
constrained by the control exercised
over it by the pilot through it's
structural connection with the other
parts Of the flying machine. If
giant could take a separate wing
/ OF an aerOplane by one end and hurl
it away with a swift whirling or
rotating motion, it would behave
like some forms of the boomerang
The secret of the peculiar move
ments OF the boomerang, which
sometimes appear Uncanny. lies in
the reaction Of the air upon its
curved and inclined surfaces. which
are held in certain positions with
reference to the direction OF fight
/ by the stabilizing tendency of its
| rotation.
I The boomerang was widely
/ known in ancient times, and, as far
IS history clearly shows. was a dis
covery OF .savages accidentally
/ made in their experiments with
| throwing weapons and developed
| by them without any scientific
/ knowlege OF the mechanical laws
in operation. The civilized world
/ Of modern centuries first obtained
a general knowledge of the exist
ence Of boomerangs from the re-
ports Of the early navigators and
explorers of the south seas, who
/ found these weapons in use among
the Australians. and sometimes de-
scribed their performances in a
manner calculated to make readers
and hearers thrill with astonish-
ment.
To dart away from the hand Of
/ the thrOwer with the speed Of an
arrow. sweep gracefully around in
I a wide curve. and suddenly transfix
an enemy by swooping upon him
/ from behind: or apparently TO pur-
sue a bird i'm erratic flight, strike il
\ down. and then return on it's
course. to fall at its masters feet
such stories seemed too wonderful
to be true. Yet they had in them
/ far more truth than invention. and
the boomerang was really a weapon
OF much value 10 savage tribes.

The recent raid Of the U-boat off
the Atlantic coast was not at all
unusual-to those who know the
workings and plans Of the imperial
German government during the four
years Of the European war. Long
before America shook itself into
wakefulness, sent home the thugs
which Germany had placed in
Washington as its representatives,
and declared war upon the mad
dened nation, Germany was plan
ming and striving 70 effect a U-base,
almost within hailing distance Of
New York city, where supplies
could be forwarded TO submarines.

seems TO have gained the knowledge

abandoned the scheme"
And the scheme" was 20 use this
