IDEy.s ABOUT AGE ARE WRONG
Writ,r Complains That World Thinks
Of All Men AS If They
Were Young.

It Is the fashion nowadays to speak
of youth of eighteen as if he were n
child, and of a man of thirty-five as
if he were yet growing. The ancients
had no such ideas, and it has taken
the lack of seriousness Of the past
three or four generations to spread
them rs they are. I often remember
with pleasure a reference Of Guy Pa
tin-the charming literary physician
Of the seventeenth century-to IL.
Lenglet, a man Of twenty-siX, PFC
fessor of rhetoric at the College d'Har-
court, rector Of the Paris university.
Guy Patin says a man of twenty-six,
as he might have said a man of forty
six; there is not the least intention Of
contrasting this mans years with his
high position. William Pitt was not
supposed either, to be crude youth,
and the French revolutionists-most
of them men between twenty-five and
thirty-fve-were never taxed with
immaturity.
We think of all men who are not,
elderly as If they were young men,
liable to the mistakes Of young men,
and this not infrequently leads them
to act as If they really were very
young men. But most lads of seven
teen are clear about their ethical code,
and who is there who has gathered
some experience. and has not found
that the possibility of foregoing the
cleanliness of their souls is more un-
pleasant to them than to most of their
seniors ?-Ernest Dimmet, in Atlantic
Monthly.

Heroic Frenchnan.

Lieut.. S. Coulter, french ace, twen-
u years old, and who has brought
down II Boche planes in France, has
given onlookers thrills by his nervy
performances at all fields in the Unit
ed States. He came over from France
a few weeks ago as instructor. His fa-
vurite pastime is to execute all the
great stunts, such as spinnig nose
Gives, loops and Immelman turns with
800 feet of the ground. The average
fyer, even if expert, prefers to try this
game several thousand feet higher,
where he is safe.

Accurate Shooting.

In France a German plane, swoop
Ing around farmhouse, was startled
and soon driven away by very accurate
rifle fire. At least the firing was &C
curate enough to convince Fritz that
he was in no safe neighborhood.
But he didn't know that the rifle
was being handled by lieutenant col
onel in the American army, who, en-
ragged at the audacity of the hostile
birdman, grabbed the weapon and soon
had the supremacy OF the air. in that
particular locality well under control.

Youngsters Chief Enjoyment Of Va
cation Came From His Defiance
Of All conventionali.ies.

The best sort of vacation and the
only kind that really is a benefit TO
the one taking 1t, according to Lewis
S Weisenberger, is the one on which all
conventional rnles of conduct are
broken. To enjoy a vacation one must
do absolutely as he pleases, Mr.. Wei
senberger continues.
In proof of this contention Mr.. Wei
senberger tells the following story on
I a young lad with whom he hibernated
/. In the wilds of Michigan for several
weeks this summer
The campers had taken large sup
ply of towels with them, as bathing
was expected to feature the holiday
events. On arrival at camp each MEM
s Der of the vacation. party received his
apportionment Of the towels and the
lad was duly included in the division.
. On the second day Of the vacation
week Mr.. Weisenberger was surprised
to find the young lads supply Of
towels packed securely away in one
corner of the cottage, thus far un-
touched. He Immediately summoned
the lad and inquired whose towels
he had been using, since his own sup
ply was undiminished. He was not
little taken back by the lads reply !:
@Aw, / didn't wash my face yester-
day"
81 Even with face unwashed and tow
els untouched, the young barbarian
probably enjoyed the vacation trip
more than did any other member Of
the party, Mr.. Weisenberger says.
And the reason for the lads enjoy
ment, he believes, is the fact that he
violated all rules Of personal etiquette
and lived one entire day with his face
innocent of ablutions. indianapolis

Aerial Postal Service.

Negotiations for aerial postal serv-

British and Dutch governments, and
Holland is very busy making final ar
rangements. The journey from AM

military airmen, who have been in

New Motive Power for Barges.

In novel English method Of pro-

pump driven by the engir, creates a
vacuum in the chamber containing the

horse power, and from preliminary
tests was expected to rur about five

One Way Out.

Two bluejackets were in the wash
room washing clothes, preparatory to
the weekly inspection. They were both
regulars and had enlisted for four
years. One of them had been in the
service one year, and was rather tired
of being on the station so long, and
expressed his sentiments to that effect.
The other, looking up al his discon'
tented "euddie," said, "Well, if you
