WHAT CAUSED HER SURPRISE
Would Almost Seem That This Woman
Had Idea Sailors Never Washed
Their Uniforms.

The waiting room of the Long Island
railroad side Of the Pennsylvania ter
minal was not even crowded the other
afternoon when fOCe fashionably
gowned women. two Of them carrying
large knitting bags. entered from the
train platform. The woman who was
burdened with the largest bag immedi-
ately led the way toward a bench
where an American seaman In the uni
form of the navy sat reading a book.
Without warning the women took seats
on either Tide Of him and besieged him
with questions.
81 am SO interested In you sailor
boys" said the leader emphasizing the
$50"
"We're so interested" corrected the
youngest Of the four.
MY" said the third and apparently
next youngest, you've been in the navy
four years. can tell 1t by the stripes
on your sleeves. Have you been to sea
much?"
The man grinned. "Quite bit" he
answered.
Then followed volley Of questions
that would have bewildered an oracle.
The seaman was asked about the coast
Of Africa and the cost Of tobacco, the
climate in Brazil and the storms on the
Atlantic.
Finally the owner Of the largest and
heaviest knitting bag made herself
hoard above the others
"Ain't you a thirdclass gunner"
she asked.
"Uh-huh," was the answer.
"And do you tell me that you've been
In the navy for four years?" was the
next question.
"Uh-huh.' said the seaman.
"Four long years." she commented,
sand my, how clean your uniform Is"
The seaman when last seen was
passenger on a train. He was holding
his head.-New York Times.

Alrplane Of the Future.

We have no logical right to think
that our flying machines Of today are
more than the crudest caricatures OF
the airplanes Of the future, says q
writer in the Scientific American. We
engineers are little apt to become so
engrossed In our immediate difficulties
Of design that we do not see further
ahead than is suggested by our own
ideas and make predictions for the
future that only follow along the lines
Of progress that we can clearly see.
The writer has often been asked If
he thinks that flying will ever become
an ordinary means of travel. His
answer is that he does not think, but
that he knows it will become so. Ten
years ago to attempt to fly from place
to place was considered suicide; five
years ago it was an adventure; today
to many Of US 1t is very ordinary
affair. A few years more and we shall
laugh to think Of the airplanes Of
which we are now so proud. We shall
shudder at the risks we ran and we
shall travel with comfort, speed and
safety.

L have left when everything else is
done, but all the money, all the time,
all the energy havel
Your whole life has been altered,

And while there is one mat among our

and comforts and solace for your sake
I shall not fail him.

will come safely back to me IN the

that hour comes I shall be always busy
filling my own small place in the great
machine of mercy. and as truly under
the colors over here as you are over
