NO AGE LIMIT ON AVIATORS
Peace Time Flyers in England Need
Only Coed Eyes and Sound
Hearts.

London, Eng.-The fact that only
young men capable Of passing severe
physical tests were accepted for avia-
ton work during the war has caused
the belief that flying as sport will be
barred to persons past the prime OF
youth. That is mistake, according to
British experts, who say that Tor ordi-
nary peace time flying there should be
no age limit. The only qualifications
they set are good eyesight and sound
heart.
Flying an airplane, it is pointed out,
is much simpler, and far less oerVe
racking than driving an automo:: 2 or
sailing a yacht. Any man whC has
lived a decent open air life, espec:; ~
if he has played games and hunt.
will find that learning to fly, even {
the age of so, is quite an easy business,
experts say. A modern airplane will
virtually fly itself, and the controls
are so arranged that a man, even on
his first trim it is argued, does the
rig ,l,o9 inStinctively.

REMOVES STAMPS, FINDS WILL
Betrothed of Drowned Sailor Reads
Letter Third Time and
Profits Thereby.

Bangor, Me.-When Colin Wentzel
of Malone Bay, N. S., sailed last fall
in the schooner Alfaretta for the
West Indies he intended to return in
about three months and marry Miss
Gladys Keddy. He never saw home
again, for witt IN four days sail of
Malone Bay on the return passage he
was washed overheard and drowned.
It appears, however, that while at
Bridgetown, Barbados, Wentzel wrote
Miss Keddy letter dated November
Is, which she received late in Decem-
Der, and that he wrote something in
one corner Of the envelope in such
small space that the writing was COM
pletely covered by two postage
stamps.
Miss Keddy was not aware Of the
writing under the stamps until, on the
lgnt of January 81, she read her
fancee's last letter for the third time.
Then she noticed on the inside in the
corner traces of writing. The letters
were made out to be 1"rem stp," which
relatives interpreted to mean remove
stamp"
Upon removal Of the stamps, by
steaming over %he tea kettle, there
was disclosed Wat the Nova Scotia
supreme court has decided is the last
will and testament of Colin Wentzel,
leaving to Miss Keddy $1,000 and his
share in the schooner L. M. Corkum.
The estate amounted in all to 1882.

THE sT IA oF TfiE PoTATo. .

Reformatory Pillar: The question of
where the potato is Indigenous and
where introduced by man has never
been strictly answered. It seems sure,
however, that the potato is q native Of
the mountainous districts Of tropical
and subtropical America, from Chile to
Mexico, and as far north as the south.
,ern part Of Colorado. ,5zs .szs
Data concerning the known use Of the
potato as food is not very definite: It
probably was first taken to Europe
from Reru by. the Spaniards early in the
sixteenth century and spread from
Spain to Holland, Burgundy, and Italy,
though cultivated only as a curiosity in
a few gardens and little known or
thought Of. In the Complete Gardener,
published in 1719, it is not mentioned.
AS food it was first used for pigs
and cattle. Then, on account OF its
great yield, it was suggested it might
be useful for the poor and prevent fam
inc, due to the failure of the grain
crops: ,
As early as 1868 the Royal Society Of
London adopted measures to encourage
its cultivation in England. It spread
quickly to Ireland, but not until the
middle of the eighteenth century did it
acquire any real Importance on the con-
tinent of Europe. d.

The British government on account

on Corporation securities of its railroads
is required to meet deficit of over ST.
O00, 900 per day, which guarantees must
continue another two years. This is
much more~of burden than is the case
in this country, but as in this country,
is due to the fact that the roads were
run primarily for military purposes, re-
CARELESS of profit. It is not likely how
ever, that the railroads in England will

would be strongly opposed by the trade
unions and Labor party, which are ex-

Sergeant Stanislaw Polanski is COM
ing home. When he went away draft
ed private, Mrs. Polanski went back in
to the little shack they rented, threw
herself on the bed in the dining room,
and sobbed. Maria knew how hard it
would be without him. he spoke the
English the children understood. They
respected him for it. She scolded them
in the tongue Of her homeland. She
was sobbing now not only because STAN
islaw was going out into danger, but
because she was alone with twelve year
old Dmitriv, Sonya, and baby Maria.
It was Stanislaw, some months later,
who asked the Red Cross man at his
camp to have Home Service look her up.
He felt that things were not going well
with Maria. He was right. Mrs. Dean
who went to call found matters in a bad
way. Maria had little Englsh-it
( was enough. "Children land an ex-
pressive wave of the hands. Dmitriv
ran in for a moment, stuck out his
tongue for greeting, and left for his
play again: Dirty little Maria was
crying all the time, Sonya trying to
4pacif ys*her with a, bit Of licorice. Truly:
Stanislaw was needed. A letter came
whale Mrs. Dean was there, letter
which Maria proudly read in English,
Dmitriv running in to translate. Stan
islaw was corporal, he was studying
nights. Dmitriv and Sonya both crowd
ed close to hear the news, then chat.
tered about it in shrill English. =.
All that was more than year ago.
Stanislaw is top-sergeant now. He
studied nights and is sure that when he
gets home he will find a better job.
There is no doubt of that. He will be
back soon now, within the month per
haps. The little house is scrubbed
white and clean in anticipation. It is
not the place he left. His family has
moved to better neighborhood. They
play on and real kitchen. It is not
SO much more expensive-Home Service
just happened to know of the place:
American way. She has gone to school,
too, in a nearby settlement house. She
has studied housekeeping and English.
The house looks like bit of shining
Holland. It did not come in day
nor easily. But there was always the
magic word of Stanislaw's home-com-
ing. There were the encouraging let
tiers he wrote, when the Red Cross man
at camp told him what Home Service
was doing.
They have not done it alone. They
found a better place for Maria to live,
helped her to fix it up. Then the set
Element house, visiting nurse, Big
Sister and Big Brother, all Of them
helped in the Home Service plan. It has
been a big plan, and it has succeeded.
Now there are the Boy Scouts and the
Campfire Girls to go on with Dmitriv
and Sonya. They are Americans, to-
day, just as truly as Stanislaw is a son
Of liberty.
It was only the other day that Dm1-
triv told Mrs. Dean the awful tale Of a
little boy in school who didn't brush
his teeth.
"But then," said Sonya, "Them Ru-
ben kids-them' furriners.'

ABUSE OF THE PRESIDENT.

In recent speeches Chairman Homer
S. Cummings of the Democratic Nation
al Committee has called attention to
the coarse and abusive language in
which many Republicans are COUGHING
their criticisms of President Wilson.
Not for decades has an American Presi-
dent been subjected to such vitupera-
ton as that which is now being levied
at the country's present Chief Magis-
trate. Two specimens from among
many will not only eorroborate what
Chairman Cummings has said, but will
also serve to illustrate the way in
which Republicans are attempting to
substitute billingsgate for argument.
From the Kansas City Star "a Repub-
lican journaD we quote this reference

mouth Of Chairman Will Fl. Hays, of the

Taking its cue from MI. Hays, seem

the Salt Lake Herald, a Republican or

diatribe of which President Wilson is
the subject. One extract from this ef-
