Must Know Aerial Acrobatics.

"If pilot is to be given a fair chance
of doing we'll on the western front it is
ESSENTIAL that he should be taught aero
battles in the air. The so-called danger
of flying lies not with those who do
stunts in the air, but with those who
cannot do them. All evolutions have to
be shown the pupil by stages, and there
should never be position in which the
airplane can be placed from which a
pilot cannot with ease rectify it. know
ing exactly what he is doing. Unless a
pilot can turn his machine any way and
every way at any time in order to ma
neuver for position all the straight fly
ing in the world will not help him
when he has to fight.
FORMATION flying is one of the most
important things of modern day flying,
but it must be borne in mind that as
soon as a formation of approximately
her own strength is met and general
action ensues it is individuality and
capability of the individual flyers
which will win.
Perfectly Safe, He Says.
"The evolutions performed by Lieut..
Sully and myself over the city are only
done to show that a machine can be
made to do anything with perfect safe
ty at any time and for as long as there
is petrol and oil in the tanks. There is
no danger whatever in doing them, and
anybody can be taught to do the same
things, with greater degree of eff
ficiency than we did them. in twenty to
twenty five hours flying. provided he
is trained on machine which operates
quickly on control and is really sensi-
tive. 1t must also be remembered that
it is not SO easy to complete these evo-
buttons on low-powered machine.
Neither does low-powered machine
give a pupil the confidence which a
high-powered one does. At home now
we are giving pupils elementary and
advanced instruction on the type of ma
chine which we are flying now. Amy
man trained to fly a machine with light
controls and with great maneuver abil-
ity can fly any scout, but one trained to
fly on a slow and heavy machine has to
be trained infinitely longer and at a
great waste OF time.
TT is not a question Of showing off
the aerial stunts or of pretending to do
anything which some one else cannot
do. 1t is only meant to show that an
aeroplane can be made to maneuyer
quickly in the air with great ease and
with perfect safety. No pilot should
be sent overseas who cannot do all
these things and more. II he cannot dc
them he will be shot down sooner or
later"

IN what happened I'm the last
story. How the big i'm
mense white elephant told
little Puss Junior to close his eyes
and make q wish. and whom he
opened them he would find himself
in the land whore he wished to be.
. wall, Puss did, you know, and when
he opened his eyes he found him
self in q mulberry tree in japan.
And there were other strange
trees, too-cRmphor trees and cot
ton trees. orange trees and pome-
Eranate trees; and. oh, yes, there
were persimmon trees. And when
Puss looked about him still more
he saw rice and tea and sweet po-
tatoes growing in the fields.
This IL a pretty country" said
Puss to himself, and he slid down
the tree and started off along the
road, bordered with camellias
growing In the hedges. And pret-
ty soon along came q stoTk hitched
TO q rtekshAN, which is q sort or
two-wheefod Sarrlage. you know.
Jump In said the tall, long
legged stork. So Puss got in. and
away they went, past the rice
fields. where the great big buffa-
loes drew the plows; past little
towns and villages. where swRl-
lows and turtle doves sat on the
= roofs OF the houses. aud funny
hantams, with tufts on their neckF.
Rtruttsd around on the ground, ana
pheasants, too. with wonderful
Eolden tails. And as for little rice
birds. there were just hundreds and
hundreds of them.
Where are we going. please, Mr..
japanese Stork?" asked little Puss
Junior.
ITO Nagasaki. seaport town"
answered the great ystorK. So on
they hurried. and after a little while
they met some little ponies with
straw boots on. carrying loads OF
tea and rice over the mountain to
the sea.
They are going to Nagasaki.

tHow soon will we be there?"
asked Puss.
Very soon." answered the stork,
and pretty soon they reached the
top OF the mountain. They they
stopped and looked down. ana theTe
was the sea before them. And all
around were beautiful green hills
covered with azalsa and wistarta,
and the sea was q beautiful blue
sea. with junks on IL that had square
white sails.
I'VE shall hSVe to cross over q
little bit OF that sea to get to Ma
Easaki." said the stork. 'Nagasaki
Il m an fsIaud''
But who will ferry us Oyer?"
asked Puss. But the stork did not
answer. And when he came to the
waters edge he blew on a silver
whistle. and pretty soon one OF the
junks took them across the sea to
the Island OF Kiushul.
Wen. as soon as they landed. the
stork once more lifted the shafts or
the rickshaw and pushed his chest
against the bar and on they went
again. And the wind came from the
sea so softly and the rickshGw
swGyed back and forth so gently
that pretty soon little Puss went
fast asleep. And in the next story

TURKET or pie: II you can't

have your Thanksgiving SAVIOUR OF
ante-bellum days If you will have
some good pie.
The city housewife. with the
many calls upon her time will
find It more convenient to purchase
a pumpkin canned. Then. too. II
you make your pumpkin pie at

the price Of one purchased at the
bakeshop.
Here is a pIGin-crust wartime
pie that almost any amateur can
make successfully. 4 standard half
pint measuring cup is used and
all measurements are taken level.

a Jelly roll; cut in half: roll out
to thickneSs OF a quarter inch; fit
on creased pie plate: brush over
the edge with cold water and place
q inch rim OF paste on Il.
Light handling-especially roll
ing very Eently-is essential for a
tender crust. Having all ingredi-
ents cold and accurately measured
is another essential The quantity
given above is enough for two
fairly large one-crust pies.

So many people just eAS the pump

that many housewives who are

into the plate and bake 1t. II you
wish, you can put a tiny rim Of
paste on the edge OF the pan Just

The Cabaret Habit.
AZ MSS FAIRTAX;

DEAR MISS FAIRFAx:
am eighteen and have been
out with a young man four times.
Each time he has taken me to a
different cabaret. Both he and l
have light drinks. He acts TO me
as a perfect gentleman. Now. my
cousin remarked that respectable
persons do not go to cabarets
often. Do you think I ought to
refuse him when he invites me
to go once more? ANXIOUS.
I think you are too young to go
habitual!y to cabarets. especially
unchaperoned. The next time the
young man invites you. suggest
that you would prefer to go to q
quieter place. or to receive him at
your home.
