Speed Indicators.

A useful instrument, especially In
clouds, Is the air speed Indicator. This
tells the pilot his speed through the
air. II also helps him to know wheth-
or he is rising or descending. For in
stance, II the speed Of the machine fly
Ing level Is 100 miles an hour, any
speed registered above that will show
that the machine is coming down, and
anything below II that the machine
is climbing. The difference In speeds
will show to what extent the craft Is
descending or climbing. There Is also
n proper fore-and-aft level TO indicate
climb and descend, but for various
technical reasons the pilot usually de-
pends on the air speed Indicator.

shIpbulldInq In a Dry Dock.

1t has been proposed that concrete
ships be built In floating dry dock,
the principal advantage being that the
forms could be retained in the dock so
they could be used' Immediately after
launching, for another ship. The
launching would be effected by with
drawing the outer forms slightly and
sinking the dry dock until the ship
floated on It's own bottom. This would
avoid severe launching strains. and
would permit Of launching the boat
while the concrete was still green"

Regularity in Church Attendance

Ex-President Roosevelt says, ION Sunday go to church. Yes--I
know all the excuses. l know that one can worship the Creator and
dedicate oneself to good living in a grove of trees or by a running
brook, or in ones own house, just as we'll as in church. But also
know that as a matter of cold fact the average man does not thus
worship Or thus dedicate himself. If he stays away from church he
does not spend his time in good works or in lofty meditation"
Senator Compton of Illinois says, II go to church because OF the
good influence it throws around me, and because enjoy the asso-
citation with those who are reaching out for a trucr and fuller life
Congressman Weaver of Oklahoma says, II go to church because
the way is dark and am far from home, and because the church
is the polar star to light my pathway in the rayless night"
Most men agree that it s good to attend church, and perhaps
there are few in this community but that attend occasionally at
least. That which 1 wish you to consider is the value of regular
attendance. Too many consider church attendance a matter de-
pendent upon choice, convenience, or circumstance. III they choose
to go, they do; if they choose to stay at home, it is their own af-
fair. IT it is convenient, they attend; if not, they scarcely worry
themselves to overcome the inconvenience. If circumstances are IA
vorable, they are in their place of worship in Gods house; but
what babyish excuses, can keep them away. For the following rea-
sons urge you, my friend. to a REGULARITY in church attend
ance:
4. Regularity is necessary for spiritual health and growth. AS
regularity in eating is necessary for physical healath and growth,
so it is necessary for us to feed our spirits with equal regularity.
Jesus said, MAN shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" Matt. "A.
z. Regularity is necessary for keen spiritual dlscernment. Each
man who is an irregular attendant at church knows in himself
ticc.
3. Regularity is necessary for right influence upon others. The
church man who stays at home from church sets a poor example
before his non-Christian neighbor. 81 am my brothers keeper
A. Regularity is necessary for development OF Christian house
holds. Habits formed in childhood are seldom changed. And habits
are largely the result of example and practice. What example do
You set for your children? Train up a child in the way he should
go. and even when he is old he will not depart from it" Prov. 1886.
8. Regularity is commanded in the Scriptures. Not forsaking
our own assembling together, as the custom OF some is" Heb.
1925. The New Testament Christians were strong for one reason
that they needed this word. And upon the first day OF the week,
wlcn we were gathered together TO break bread, Paul discoursed
with them" Acts 20:7.

ORGANDIE AND CALICO FROCKS
FrIIIs and Fichus, Picture Hats and Other Feminine Fluffiness Bor- rowed From Another Age,
 Now in the limellght.

New York.-Thc radicals are at 1t again. They are agtatng for the standardization of wOmen's dress as Il war measure of equal importance with the conservation of food. RumOrS of frocks all alike, cut by the millions and placed on the market for the col onels lady and Judy O'Grady, so that they may become sisters in their attire as well as under their skins, com Inents fashion authority, reach us from time to time through the sec tons of the daily press devoted to women's affairs.
 Sometimes the arguments are quite learned. The French revolution is freely quoted as being the event final Iy responsible for the standardization of mons dress. To be sure, one of tn" first things that Napoleon did, when he reached the position of being able to set the fashion, was to nuke mems clothes as gorgeous and us com plex as they had been before the abo- lition of the Bourbons. But the effect did not last long. sans culottism" had taken too firm hold on mems af- fections. They soon went back to thar dlgnified but ugly garment, the long trousers, and they have remained faithful to them ever since.
 Students of the history of costume cite this as an example, and tell us some hopefully, some regretfully-that the present ArmnEeddon will do the same for women. But then come oth- ers-students, too, but students of the human nature back of the clothes, rather than of the clothes themselves and they give an emphatic No! to the whole proposition.
 "The standardization of womens dress has gone us far now as 1t ever will Is their contention.
 Easy to Get Into.
 Very busy women-and what other kind Is there at present-may make insistent demands for clothes that are easy to get into. Easily adjusted, madam will sell more gowns this season than the catch phrase, This Is what they're wearing" Coats and suits and one-piece dresses will main tain their popularity; "shirtwaiSts" that launder like mans shirt will refuse to be busted. But there will always be more variety in wOmen's dress than there Is In mems, and wom- cn as n whole will continue to be more nrcOCCupied with the question of whcrcwithal they shall be clothed.
 O"c reason for the continuance of variety in feminine attire, in spite of wars and rumors of wars, is the fact that women as whole are rested by change of occupation. So the busi- office. Is quite willing to sit down to
