NAVY'S EXHIBIT IS
 INTERESTING MANY

Much attention is being paid to the window at Blachs' store where several miniature types of navy flying boats are on display.
 These are models of the large boats which are being used in the nNy at the present time and proved so efficient during the late World war, according 10 Lieut.. Commander A. G. Dibrell. On the left is the HS-1 flying boat which is equipped with a 12-cylinder Liberty motor developing 400 horsepower and using four-bladed propeller. These boats carry three passengers, are fast and easily handled and were largely used during the war to convoy troop ships and merchant vessels. In addi- ton to two machine guns firing at a rate of 500 shots per minute. they carry depth bombs under each wing. They weigh three tons.
 The H-16 flying boat, which is in the center of the window, has 10 machine guns mounted in pairs and each fires at the rate of 500 shots per minute. Under the wings depth bombs are car ried and three -fourths of one will sink q submarine. These boats are equipped with both radio and wireless telephone and can talk with other boats in the air and with the destroyers below. They weigh seven tons and were used dur ing the war for submarine patrol and convoy work.
 On the right is the Mo seapiane, which is equipped with lS0 horsepower Hispano -Suiza motor. These planes were used as training planes and have dual controls and are designed espe- cially for the training of aerial gum ners and observers. This type of plane can be put in any position, and if the controls are placed in neutral will au- tomatically recover and come out in al- most horizontal flight with the nose slightly down at a safe gliding angle Two machine guns and wireless outfit may be installed. The handsome silk flag in the center was presented to Miss Eunice Lea Dibreli, daughter of Lieutenant Commander Dibrelk. by the N-s club, which was formed following the christening of this boat in 1917.

 Yes, her dresses were oyershort but who wouldn't condone it? How he wished she had been alone instead of in the company of the worn-look- ing woman around 30 and the worn woman's squalling baby. Maybe there would have been some chance then but now
 A thrill shot over him, and his heart jumped into his mouth
 The pretty thing had dropped a dainty lacey handkerchief, or at least one lay in filmy whiteness at her feet. Here was the opportunitys.
 No sooner said than done, and he gracefully handed her the handker- chief

 She looked up at him for the first time out of the whirl of hair and hat.
 NO, dear. but my granddaughter did; thank you sweetly," she said as she handed the handkerchief to the other woman.
