Men Ride In Flaming Plane

A hair-raising demonstration of the efficacy of new aircraft fireproofing compound was staged at Atlantic city N J., few weeks ago by two Ameri- can airmen, late of the Lafayette esca- drille, reports Popular Mechanics Maga- zine Each of the men first donned a special flying suit and metal helmet, both of which had been painted with the compound. Mechanics then sprayed each with gasoline. Meanwhile the plano, which also had been painted with the preparation. was similarly drenched with gasoline. Pilot and passenger climbed into their cockpits. As the engine was started, torch was applied to airmen and air craft. Roaring forward over the airdrome, then, like flaming, smoking comet, the plane rose into the air, and for five miutes mortified the spectators
 And the end of this time the flames died out. and the plane was brought to earth
 Careful inspection having been made. airmen and airplane were found to be unharmed except for a coating of soot

Old Woman Roles

Several famous American actors, while still young men. were perfectly willing to portray roles that called for an old man makeup On the other hand, according to Alexander Woollcott, in Everybodys, women of the stage have always been willing to play the roles of characters supposed to be younger than they arc, Actresses have been extremely age-shy in adding to Father Times toll against them by appearing as old women. while the bloom of Youth was still on their cheeks.
 'If Jefferson had waited till he was an old man before donning the white beard of Rip, he probably would not have played the part as well, and certainly would not have played the part so often. yet such fame as mellowed and hallowed that impersonation of his is not the work of a single season nor can 1t be achieved in single place. It is when such part has been played not only in New York and one or two. of the largest cities but also at all other crossroads of the coun- try that it becomes national institu- tion, and in in time, a national memory.
 Jefferson, as it happened, played Rip off and on for forty years. He was. therefore. young actor when first he appeared in his famous character. It was at the old Winter Garden in New York on that troubled Christmas Eve when Mir Lincoln was waiting to take office and the threat of civil war lay like shadow across America. If you will consult the infallibie Times of the next day, you will note with interest tha. it was a pretty poor entertainment, that the applause was hollow and that a short life was all that MT. Jefferson could hope for a play or performance.

the care, preparation or actual cooking of the food
 Fresh foods should be cared for the minute they come in from the market. Canned and package foods. of course, have been carefully prepared so that the flavor, as well as all food value,
 is retained One advantage of having a goodly supply of these high-grade package foods is that they keep perfect ly until you are ready to use them If fresh fruits and vegetables are al- lowed to stahl in a warm room until they are wilted, ali the delicate, fresh flavor whicn should characterize that food escapes
 Peas should be cooked as soon as gathered That is the secret of the sue cess of the big reliable producers in putting up canned foods that satisfy the discriminating public year in and year out The fruits and vegetables are can ned as soon as gathered, thus retaining the best flavor.
 Particularly should the cheaper cuts of meat be carefully cooked. These cuts are rich in flavor. but many housewives drown it.

Useful Birds Multiplying From the Nations Business.

One of the interesting phases of the agricultural situation Is the greatly increased number of all song and in sectivorous birds, due to the operation of the federal migratory bird law. The impulse which supported and finally put this law into effect in the form of a treaty with Canada is typical of the economic spirit of the American peo- pie. An idealism which seeks to pre- serve these beautiful and useful crea- lures for our pleasure and enjoymen, is combined with practical common sense. For these birds are the only protection we have against the innu. merable predatory insects which other. wise would destroy all vegetation.

Uncle Sam Puts Secret
 Passages m Postoffice
By GORDON rkrNLEY

Secret passages are being built in the new postoffice.
 Just like in days of old when castles with ':frowning battlements' looked grimly down from plateau corner and mountain side.
 The passages are narrow and scarcely discernable as the construction of the big federal building goes forward. but new ertheless it can be seen where they will be.
 Uncle Sam guards his postal service jealously, and those who handle the let ters in the postoffices are constantly un- der surveillance.
 Inside mail handling rooms one sees, in the finished buildings, little slated aperatures that pass as centilators, nign up the wall, near the ceiling. But. back of the two or three slats IS passase and standing in the passage, where all is dark a watcher can scan all the scene of the mail handling below and rote if aught goes amiss, himself un- seen.
 Tn the larger postoffices there is but one room that is not under this constant ir spection. the dressing room of the wom- en employees.
 The men who do this watching do not announce their arrival Usually they reach cities where it seems some mai has been going amiss. coming in on mid night trains. All have keys to all the postoffices, master keys that will open any lock- Maybe they come in at the noon hour, or just after, when many are onf at luncheon In all the offices there are certain doors that none ever rec onened.
