MEMORY THAT WILL LAST
French Gratitude to America 10
Deeply Engraved on the Hearts
Of Her People.

Kathleen Norris, writing In the
Woman's Home Companion, gives an
imaginary conversation with a young
French girl describing the coming Of
the American soldiers to France as she
is supposed to remember it:
sand men-to stand beside our
men-from America! / remember
standing at the chateau gateway on a
bright November afternoon and seeing
them come up the road. Soldiersf We
were used to soldiers! But these were
different. Grandmere was with me.
we had been here all the time. t.
"'They came along, in the stream
ing afternoon sunlight, and they smiled
and waved at me. "They are the
Americans!" grandmere said, and she
began to cry softly. "God bless them
God bless them ]" she whispered,
over and over. And that night, as you
know, we had their officers at the
chateau, and one of them told me he
also had daughter, not much younger
than I, and that her name was Vir-
ginie- jE
aT don't know why - for, God
knows, there were hard times, and
dark times, ahead. But from that mo-
ment / felt-hope. Child that I was,
I seemed to see, behind those march
ing men, the big and generous nation
that was dedicating itself to their serv-
ice, the women everywhere, with their
sewing and cooking, saving and PLAN
ming, their letters and their prayers
all one in their work for an ideal be-
side which the comfort and the ease OF
this generation was as nothing

Speed Indicators.

A useful instrument, especially in
clouds, is the air speed Indicator. This
tells the pilot his speed through the
air. 1t also helps him to know wheth-
er he is rising or descending. For in
stance, If 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 it that the machine
is climbing. The difference in speeds
will show to what extent the craft is
descending or climbing. There is also
a proper fore-and-aft level to indicate
climb and descend, but for various
technical reasons the pilot usually de-
ponds on the air speed indicator.
