social plane, but the moment they
resume the relationship of employer
and employe their attitude toward
each other Immediately and auto
matically changes. Or two brothers
may go into the army and one be-

may say what they please to each

imposed upon him for that luxury.
1t is also only fair for you to con-

seem to you terrifyingly competent
and learned and self-possessed young
lady, but she, too, has her own pri-
vate troubles and worries. There are
probably, days in her life when she
would rather die than present her
smiling face in the class room.
She is not immune from tooth
ache and heartache and discourage
ment and regret any more than you
are. And if she is your superior Of
ficer she also has her superior off,

quite conceivable that like the rest
of us she, too, says hasty things she
wishes she hadn't.
And don't be too desperately anx-
ious to be always on your good be-

better tomorrow and forget them

: April 16. 1918.
Dear Mother: It's the dream OF
every aviator TO have his motor join
the union, but one that is seldom
: realized; but they will go on strike
at the most inopportune times. Just
as one thinks his motor has signed
articles to work faithfully for the
duration of the war, it suddenly
turns "scab"-generally over a for
est or some telegraph wires, or a
town, or any number of other
! squashy landing places. That was
what happened to me several days
ago. Putnam and I had started out
late in the evening &C p. NO. to
look for Boche, as twas rumored
the Boche were keeping these late
hours. However,. the hours must
have been changed, for nary Boche
did we see, although we flew around
for over an hour. Once we almost
fired on a biplane, for thinking it
was a Boche, down swept Putnam in
series of SIS with me right behind
when we got real close, we were still
doubtful about him, so Putnam got
in position on his TAIL and 1 came
tearing at him head on, all ready
to press the trigger and then we
saw the red, white and blue tail and
did not shoot. 1t was about time to
go home then, for we can only stay
up certain length of time, which
is limited to the gasoline we carry.
In these little Moranes, the motor
is so arranged that the gasoline can
all be shut off when gliding from a
great height, and that is the way we
came home since we are nearly al
ways around 10000 feet over the
lines. This coasting silently home
not only saves gasoline but is mighty
easy for the pilot-no vibration
whatever, and one can take his
hands off the controls and let her
go herself. Got riding in limousine
beat all hollow!
just Waiting
Well, when 1 neared camp-and
the ground, I pulled on the gasoline
again, and waited for it to catch. =. I
kept on waiting too for no explosions
ensued and all the time I was drop
ping, dropping closer to the ground.
AS luck would have it, / was not
high enough to make camp, and
nothing but forests were on all sides,
with little fields here and there.
Finally, giving up hope of the
motor starting again l made a sharp
turn and dove for a small field, for
1 had no desire to roost on a forest
and then the motor caught with
bang and roar. / sure pulled up
thankfully and was soon lowering
over our landing ground. But things
never happen in singles, it seems for
as came down close to the ground
preparatory to running along the
ground on my wheels, 1 suddenly
noticed another Morane right beside
and a little lower than me also all
set for landing, and from the angle
he was going just about the time our
wheels had touched the ground we
would have ran into each other sure.
I have told you before that quick
decision is necessary in this game,
and this is an instance-so I prompt
ly turned on my motor again and
circled the field, while Putnam got
out of the way, for 1t was his zing.
And then I landed, the motor stop
ping as I rolled along the ground.

ILife'sProblems
| Are Discussed
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

BY MRS. WILSON WOODhOW
She is a little girl in the high
school, and she has written me OF
some OF her troubles.
She seems rather discouraged by
her inability to live up to her own
standard of conduct, and also by
the fact that she is frequently called
down by her teachers.
L know that l am not natur-
ally bad" she writes, "but 1 am
always being either careless or
hasty. 1 am always saying things
which 1 feel sorry for 'afterward.
said such a thing? But that is al
ways after I have said it. 1 know
that I would never naturally say the
things l do if 1 had only thought
a minute first. But 1 never can re-
member in the world to be nice,
polite young lady, and I should be
very thankful for a little advice
from you. l have been called i'm
pertinent several times, and 1 did
not even know that 1 was So"
There, little girl, don't cry! You
are Just running up against some of
the difficulties of growing up.
1 know quite a bit about you, just
from reading your letter. You are of
a candid and impulsive disposition.
and you have a little way of saying
quite on the spur of the moment
whatever happens to come into your
head, which is one sure way of GEL
ting into trouble. Sometimes 1t is
worth it, sometimes it isn't. Usually
it isn't-if you want to keep your
friends.
1 am sure from what you say that
you naturally prefer calm and haf-
monious atmosphere to a cyclonic
one. Therefore it would be not only
the part of wisdom, but also the
part of good breeding to suppress
that quick remark or comment which
rises so readily to your lips. 1 quote
Emerson to you:
Life is not so short but there is
always time for courtesy. Self-com-
mand is the main elegance. Keep
cool and you command everybody,
said Saint Just; and the willy old
Talleyrand would still say. 'Surtout
messieurs. pas de zele'-'Above all,
gentlemen, no heat
But don't abate your charming
candor. If you are asked your opin-
ion give 1t frankly. You are as much
entitled to your view as any one else
is to his. But don't obtrude it at
unreasonable times. Learn to merge
your silver speech into golden 81
lences.
You are perplexed and wounded
because your teacher occasionally
reprimands you when you have
meant no disrespect. You will have
to look at this apparent injustice in
a broader way. Your individual
qualities, which might delight and
interest your teachers if they met
you socially, would be quite out of
place in the classroom.
There not only standard of class
scholarship must be maintained. but
a standard of class behavior as well.
And each scholar must conform to
it. If you say something thought
lessly which sounds impertinent, al
though you may not have intended it
so, then the same reproof must be
dealt to you as to the girl who is
deliberately and Intentionally imper-
tinent. In no other way can dlsci-
pline and order be maintained.
The same thing applies in the
business world. Two people may

Advice to the Lovelorn

HE MEANS TO PROTECT YOU
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

day. go out with young man In
the Army once a month, and my
father objects to my bringing any
boys or girls home. He says 1 am too
young to invite any young man or
girl to the house, Don't you think II
is more respectable for the young man
to come to the young lady's house
than the young lady to meet him in
the street?
WEARY,
Father Is making life a little diffi-
cult for you, but he recognizes your
youth and longs to protect you He
wants to keep you n little girl, which
is way fathers have. He wants to
make you take his orders, and SO he
threatens you little bit. Try to get
him to compromise with you-to let
you have a little harmless pleasure in
order to relax from your work, sun

boy or girl he knows one evening a

You do not make yourself quite clear.
Perhaps your daughter stays with
friends--perhaps the mother of one of
the girls goes along; perhaps the
boys stay at one hotel or boarding
house and the girls at another. Any
of these conditions would change mat
ters entirely. But for a girl to go off
Tor a vacation with a boy friend-or
for three girls and three boys to do
this is-unwise to say the least. And
modern young people seem to ignore
the common sense facts in the case.
