Are Aviators Born?

"There vas a time when it was held
that man must be especially born for
aeronautic duties" writes Henry
Woodhouse, vice president of the
Aerial League of America, in Every
body's.
Experience had brought out the
fact that the average young man
can make an excellent aviator. Cap
tain Guynemer, Major Bishop, Cap
tain William Thaw, Captain Ball of
the Lafayette escadrille, and practical
ly all the famous aviators were not
men who impressed anybody with be-
ing different from other young men.
"Of the thousands of allied aviators
there are probably not 500 men who
had seen more than few months OF
military service before joining the air
service Most of them had never seen
any military service.
I'm planning an organization Tor
the selection and training of aviators,
the aircraft board and signal corps OF
the United States have had to prepare
to deal entirely with men who had
never seen military service, as other
countries have done"

MOI WORDS BUT ACTION.

In rather striking fashion the futility
of attempting to fight the Germans with
words is forcing itself upon those persons
who, unfortunately, have pinned good
deal of faith upon words as war weapons.
The Germany with which the world has
to deal, they now may observe, is that
represented by the military might which
is driving to slaughter it's hundreds of
thousands of victims, not by Won Hert
ling or Relchstag majority. The apph
cation of this object lesson presented by
the great German drive belongs right here
in the United States. The Government
of the United States and the American
people down to the last man are confront
ed by the necessity of taking to heart the
fact that the German drive is real, and
the further fact that every gain made by
Germany is gain at the expense of
America = for in the last analysis the bur-
den of defeating Germany rests upon this
country 1t must furnish the men and
the munitions, the brain and the Drawn
that will give to the Allied cause the ex
cess of strength necessary to assure VIC
tory.
There is no reason to be discouraged.
There is good reason, however, for
speeding up in every line-for converting
into reality the theory of a nation united
and determined in support of great prin-
ciples for the preservation of which it is
in that war.-New York Herald.

JUST A DUB, But.

the ordinary way.
And so when his soul at last stood
before the Great White Gate there
was no stir among the saints to re-
ceive 1t.
"What have you to say for your
self?' said st. Peter, sternly, but not
unkindly.
Nothing" replied the soul, timidly.
"NOthing" exclaimed ST. Peter.

WELCOME BUTTER BACK AGAIN.

Butter has declined sharply in price
and the lower edible grades are cheaper
than high grade oleomargarine in the
wholesale markets. Butter cannot 60
much lower without carrying down its
substitutes, lard and other edible fats
and oils, all of which are in sense sub
stitutes for butter. For consumers,
cheap butter is very desirable. Scien-
lists have found that butter contains
more and better vitamins than any other
food and that nothing else SO well pro-
notes the health and growth Of children.
A few years ago doc ors were blissfully
ignorant of the existence of vitamins,
and some of them insisted that too much
butter hurt children. Now they agree
pretty well that Hans Andersen was
scientifically as well as morally ano theo-
logically right when he wrote the story
OF the little child who prayed, "Give us
this day our daily bread-with plenty of
butter on it. New York Commercial.

NO BRIGHT MONEY

SeIf.Sacrifice.
She Had q "Good Thing" in Her Ar.
ransement with the Partner Of
Her Joys and Sorrows, but
Patriotism Came First.

something unexpected has hap
pened," said Mr.. Billtops. Something
quite unexpected.
you know, for years have been CIV
ing Mrs. Billtops all my bright money.
Whenever got bright dime or quar-
ter or half simply turned it over to
Mrs. Billtops.
There might be weeks when
would not get single bright coin !;
but there would be other weeks in
which l would receive in change q
considerable number. Altogether these
bright coins provided for Mrs. B.
tidy bit of revenue, and am sure 1t
was as great pleasure for me to turn
them over to Mrs. Billtops as it was
for her to receive them, though once
this bright money proposition did give
me little scare.
II dropped into a candy store one
day to get some candy for Mrs. Bill
tops and there in change for SIS bill
l received two bright dimes and four
absolutely spick and span bright new
81 bills
"Well, now, there was something to
make YOU stop and think. Under our
understanding l was to give Mrs. Bill
tops all bright money 1t is true that
by that I understood bright coins, and
had no doubt that Mrs. Billtops did,
too, but the promise from me was of
all bright money and on a strict in
depreciation, which did not desire to
evade, there was nothing for me to do
but to turn over with the two bright
dimes those four bright dollars. Which
I did
But Mrs. Billtops declined to re-
ceive them.
"'No, Ezra SHE said, mo. We both
understood bright money to mean
bright coins, and we will go not by
the letter of the contract but by the
spirit. Ezra, you keep the 81

gone into a candy store and laid down
not a IS bill but a $1,000 bill and re-
ceived in change $999.2O all in bright
money, which by the contract should
have been required to turn over to
Mrs. Billtops. Why, have seen the
time when handing over that amount
of money in that way would have
cramped me quite some.
But never have l failed to hand
over all bright coins, year after year
continuously, until yesterday, when
that something unexpected happened
when Mrs. Billtops said to me:
EZRA, no more bright money. l
have always been glad to get it for
the sentiment of it and for the use l
could make of it, but you need the
money more now and from now on you
keep it and use it as you would any
other money and I will deny myself
that luxury. No more bright money,
Ezra, from now until the end of the
war;
unexpected it certainly was, but
still it was only what you would have
expected her to do, if you knew Mrs.
Billtops."

Eood-After the War.

Whatever other blessings peace may
bring it will not bring instant relief to
the masses who are now distressed by
food shortage and it's natural conse-
quence, high prices. There will be as
many mouths to feed when the armies
are demobilized as there are now. 1t
is true that the fare Of the soldiers In
most European countries is more lib
eral than that Of the civil population,
but no statesman will take comfort in
the prospect of masses of disbanded
soldiers reduced to the level Of civil
undernOurishment. And besides the
civil populations that are now endur-
ing semi-starvatiOn uncomplainingly,
recognizing that no relief can be ex-
pected while the energies of their gov
eminent are engrossed by war, will be
far less patient when peace returns.
More food, not less, will be required
in peace.-The New Republic.

National Disease.

The postoffice department, infected
with the national disease of attempting
to regulate everything and everyone, is
now setting a time when business men
should mail their letters, catalogues, and
packages-in other words, prescribing
how they should run their business. This
raises the question as to whether the
postoffice is being run for the conven-

run their affairs for the convenience of

Patch Skull With Patients Own Rib,

Patch Skull With Patients Own Ribs.
The replacing of destroyed portions
of skull with layers of cartilage taken
from the patients own ribs Is one
of the latest methods of healing war
injuries. H. Warren Woodroffe, sur
geOn of the Ulster Volunteer hospital
in France, describes the method which
has been successfully tried on a num-
Der of severely wounded men.
Cutting down to the ribs parallel to
the breast bone, the surgeon slices Off
thin layers of the cartilage which at
taches the bony ribs to the breast
bone. These are held in the gap
caused by the destruction of the skull
after the scalp has been turned back.
The scalp is then stitched back In place.
Within a few weeks, instead of having
no protection to the underlying brain,
a hard layer of cartilage, firm though
slightly elastic, is formed.
