Why Airman Must Have Good Hands

why NiTmdn MuSS rave oou HANDS,
The newest tribute to the airman
Is to say that he has "good handss
and to imply that he manipuIates his
machine as he would handle the reins
Of horse with sensitive mouth. The
analogy is not very appropriate. The
good hands" in the case are those Of
the motorist. Good hands, combined
with light, quick feet, prevent the mo-
torist's chopping and notching his
gears, they prevent his starting away
with jump, they enable him to change
speed noiselessly, to let in his clutch
so that the drive is taken I'D imper-
ceptibly; they prevent his tires from
having their studs stripped out, the
transmission strained, and make gear
box and differential last e. long a the

Majority Of Baseball Idols viii Be
Able to Trace Their Popularity to
Service In Franee--PIayers
Are Watched.

Some of our very best baseball idols,
who have been monopoliZing the spot
light for many seasons, are very liable
to find themselves a shade shy on popu-
larity when certain lads who have
been wearing khaki get back into
baseball uniforms.
A ringing hit, Il stolen base or a
sensational stop will still draw forth
round of cheers from the fans, no
matter who the player, but there are
going to be some new favorites on
the ball lots next summer and ma
jority of them will be able to trace
their popularity to service In France.
The coming hero Of fandom, who
will stand head and shoulders above
oil the rest as popular idol is
"Lankus Hankus" Gowdy. the first ma
jor league ball player to toss his hat
into the ring alongside Of Uncle
Samuel's.
Gowdy was once reported to have
been killed In action In the Argonne
Forest but he has been found with the

Pop Geers and Tommy Murphy are
the kingpins of the trotting circuit.
Geers has had longer experience,
and anyone who likes the light har.
ness horse always thinks of him in
connection with the trOtter or PAGER
but last year the laurels fell to Muir
ply. In fifteen weeks of the Grand
Circuit the horses that he drove won
more than 100000. Tommy himself
made nearly half this amount, which
is Il pretty good sum for anyone who
can sit in sulliy and simply coax
his horse. along to the winning post
He started In ITS races, won 20, was
second in 46, third In 231s and fourth
In 1872. He was unplaced only %
times. He finished first or second
116 times. Geers started in only 70
events, but ran up the respectable to.

It's all myth that says we must

Of our youth. You can begin to reap
now. Lies harycSts grow fast aud
llfe's rewards have no virtue in delay.
In these days the world Is talking in
terms of young men, The reason IL
that in these days young men have
learned the use Of the minutes and are
the great producing agencies of prog.
ress. To their zeal Is the speed and
quality Of modern output, They are
eager for rewards and make the sys-
tenn that brings the reward early. It's

which the kaiser used to rule, and he
is very much alive and just as full of
ginger as ever. Aside from lodging a
number of big shells and little machine
gun bullets that were tossed In his
direction by the Huns, Gowdy came
out of perfectly good war unscathed
with the exception OF one wound and
memories of many coolies.
When he gets back into the regalia
of the big leagues he is going to col
lect n thousand fold in popularity what
he lost In the way of salary by enlist
Ing. What reception he'll get-Oh,
boy!
And the fans will shower their
praise on all others, who, like Gowdy,
have seen real service over there. The
shipyard heroes, though not all of
them are to be censured, will feel
that there Is something missing when
they walk to the plate next season.
And therell be something missing, all
right, for the fans have II faculty of
keeping In pretty close touch with the

Archbishop WhateIeY,s Wit.

Many stories have been told OF the
wit Of Archbishop Whateley. On one
occasion he asked candidate for ad-
mission to holy orders what was the
difference between form and cere-
mony. The candidate having racked
his brain for an answer without sue
cess, the archbishop explained. The
difference is this-you sit upon n
form, but you stand on ceremonyw
Once, at a gathering of clerlcs, he put
the question, "Why do white sheep
eat more than black Oncs?" And,
there being no correct reply, though
several attempts ut solution We're
made, the archbishop himself gave the
answer: "Simply because there are
more of them"
