school work few years ago. Later
he enlisted in army service and went
to Europe to fight for the country.
He served well and honorably. He
has returnd. and again took up his
work in the store and the virtual
management of tho business.
Walker iS not an old man, but he

Mr.. Rhinc's long experience in the

fits him well for the position. He
might have remained in Illinois and
held that office longer but for the
fact that he longed to get hold Of

here for about six wears. His re-

ON PRINCIPLE OF BOOMERANG
AIrpiane Constructed Along Sam.
Lines as the Famous Weapon Of
Australian 5ushnen.

Although an anomaly to go to thu
primitive sayages of Australia for
points on an airplane, that was Iust
what was done In the development
of flying in the air by humans. The
fundamental principle Of the plane il
both old and simple. having been dis
covered by the bushmen of the antip-
odes and embodied by them in the
boomerang, which by meeting in its
flight the air at slight angle got
a "lift."
The trajectory of the boomerang
may be in part horizontal or may even
rise as a result of this lift. Any sur
face that Is more or less fiat that trav-
els at slight angle through the air
tends to lift. If the section has a
slight Gambler, or convex curve, the
lift Is increased. Better results are
obtained If a body of appreciabls
thickness is used instead of a thin
sheet. These points the Australian dis
covered.
Investigation will show little differ
ence between the wing section of the
modern airplane and cross section
OF q boomerang made by the bushmen
or whitfield by New York boy after
he had visited the circus and had wit
messed the stunts Of the boomerang
throwers.
The resemblance Of the boomerangs
cross section is closer to a propeller
section of an airplane, as boomerang
Is sort of cross between an airplane
wing and propeller.

there are negligees to be provided for

Gay new spring materials are here,
and the business of sewing is in hand.
January and February ought to see
undertakings for the family and negli-
gees, housedresses, service clothes for

tainly the pretty negligees should not
be overlooked.
Negligees are usually in two gar
ments, that is an underslip and coat,
or trousers and coat. These styles are
about equally popular and the trou-
sers are like those worn by Chinese
women or patterned after those of
india. Sometimes a long skirt is so
draped as to suggest trousers and in
any case these picturesque suits are
Fascinating. In the picture trousers
OF crepe-de-chlne have double frills of
narrow knife plating about the ankles.

PAYING Federal ohlolals.

The president of the United States
Is paid by settlement warrant, which
Is practically the same as a check.
This warrant is sent to him by mes
Senger from the treasury twice a
month. Senators and representatives
are paid either by check or cash as
'hey personally desire through con.
greSsional disbursement checks. When
they are paid in cash they receive
crisp, new bills, as does nearly every
one who lives In Washington.

cord and tassel is suspended from the
coat at each side, falling from small
bow of ribbon, These tassels and
cords have no particular reason for
being where they are, except to look
pretty; they do add to the grace of
the coat by weighing it. There Is no
attempt to follow the style that in
spires negligee with fidelity to the
original. The Chinese cord and tassel
idea is used along with very pert little
ribbon bows having an American fla
yor, and ribbon rosette with long ends
at the front.
Such sensible things as the combina-
tion undergarment for a little girl,
shown in the picture, must share at
tention with beautiful negligees in the
spring sewing. The body and Knockers
are cut in one, the former gathered
into an elastic band at the knee or Or
straight band that buttons Neck
and short sleeves are finished with
button-hoIe stitching over the edges of
small scallops, and the same garment
Is made with lower neck and sleeve

of the muslins used, varies, too, &C.
eording to the season for which the
combinations are made.
