borne to his ears.
The recognition of the fact that he

him better and happier, appealed to
him powerfully this Christmas eve.
He had mechanically distributed the
usual Christmas largesse at the Office

sealed glass box. The experiment
arose out Of 80.year-old controversy
as to whether 1t Is possible to caIcn-
late the amount Of oxygen in the blood
from a knowledge Of the amount OF
oxygen in the breath. The test was
also made TO demonstrate whether it
was necessary that airmen ahCnld

was necessary 60 flying men. but Il
did not show TO what height they

Court etiquette among the refgning
families OF Europe Is not to be lightly
considered, and SO the story of how
the stubbornness of an American
doughboy upset an age-old rule OF
the royal house OF Roumania is OF
more than usual interest.
Some time ago Queen Marie of Rou-
mania accepted an invitation TO ride
In an American official army car.
When the car arrived at the palace
gates. the queen at once noted that an
American flag flew from the radiator.
Before entering the car she requested
that the flag be removed, explaining
that royal etiquette prevented her rid
Ing behind any flag save that Of her
own country.
Opposition arose immediately The
chauffeur, an American doughboy, an
nouneed politely, but none the less
firmly, that when the flag came down
he came down also, and some one else
would have to drive the car. The
queen, who. By the way. is a grand
daughter OF the late Queen Victoria
Of England. graciously conceded the
point and the party proceeded On their.
