side the camp bed and looking down

ST suppose I'll have to assume the
responsibility for her. I'll take her
down to the base with me tomorrow
and ship her home to my people in
charge of one Of the stewardesses on
some liner
'I've got a better scheme" said the
major. "Let me have her, Wallace.
My wife will go crazy over her. You
know she's always talking of adopting
a little girl. She's got her ideal type
in mind, and that's it. I was to look
round for one like that if ever the
chance came along"
"Well, you'd better go on looking
round, Major" said Wallace, irritably.
'See here, my boy, you don't really
want that kid, do your
81 do. I'll think over your PROPOSE
ton, Major, of course, but my sister
would give her home and"
LET me send her to my wife. You

"How?"
'TH order her a bath, under the
sanitary code. And you'll have to give
it. And scraped beef-our beef !"
''Get out, Major, and give me

A Nap on a 4O-MiIe Wind.

It was not so long ago that ten
mile breeze would upset all flying
plans for day at any airdrome or
exhibition field. Now nothing short of
a hurricane can keep the machines on
the ground. AS far as the ability to
make good weather of it is concerned

Consciousness Not Lost in Falls.

The popular idea that a person
loses consciousness in the course of
fall from a great height seems to be
refuted by the experience of avia-
tors. Parachutes, although designed
to open after 200 feet, frequently do
not open under 1000 or 1,500 feet, and
during this drop the men tied to them
are quite conscious.

Hardly an Ideal Citizen.

There is a story told of an ancient
dandy in London who, taking, one
sunny afternoon, his accustomed stroll
down Bond street, met an acquaint-'
ance hurrying in the direction of West
minister. "Whither sway so fast this
hot day." murmured the dandy. 'To
the. house of commons" cried his
strenuous friend, brushing past him.
"What!' said the dandy, with yawn.
"does that go on still?"

she frequently expressed wish for a /,
