On either side of the boat. conveniently with- in reach of the riders feet, are pedals which control the inclination of four planes, pivofed. two in front of and two behind the riders seat. These planes, in cooperation with the pro pulsion of the motor, control the depth At which the boat rides in the water. With power enough, and enough inclination of the planes. the boat could be submerged to a great depth, but this is prevented by a buoyant ball that rises on a tubu- lar guide at the stern of the boat sf it sinks.

the strain was still at great tension.
Woodrow Wilson broke under the

away in the presidential yacht each
week end and cruising down the Po-
tomac and out into the broad ocean

advisers with him, as a rule, but cut
ting the connections with his duties as
far as possible, enjoying complete
quiet on Sunday and coming back to
his duties each Monday morning, re-
freshed in mind and invigorated in
body. 1t is fortunate that the presi-

hands in the White House, bald as that

When Jim and go out on the open

troublesome than much luggage If
we have one folded up with our blank

many a pleasant chat by the wayside.
Therefore, we usually leave our des-

Another Joy of the road is not know

acquainted with people is a dullard's
adventure if you know about them

meaning of a human being from the
