Gagged.
AS Mrs. Kirkland chose the seat be
side her husband, Clinton was re-
quired to make one Of the three in the
tonneau, and the girls saw to 1t that he
sat between them.
The visitors were shown Into a re-
freshingly cool waiting room, and the
ladies sent up their cards to the pa.
tient they had come to see. Presently
pleasant young nurse, with the dress
and manners Of a social secretary
came down to say that Miss Searle
wns at home and would be delighted
to see Miss Lowrie.
"Only meT exclaimed Amy.
The nurse looked at Doctor Kirk

wife: "Amy alone may prove too ex-
citing for her. She needs the quieting
influence of yourself and Ellen. Go TO
her door and pretend TO take leave Of
Amy. When she sees you are not com
ing in, she will insist that you make
her a call"
"But WIN, papa?" objected Ellen.
"You have to visit your patients. He
may find It tedious waiting here alone"

enjoy looking over the institution" re.

AIR CREDIT

TINE world has conceded the genius
IL of Wright and Curtiss, but only
as individuals. In reality our national
aeronautic prowess runs back sixty
years and more.
When we contemplate the $1,000
100000 which has been suggested for
the next aviation budget, and the plan
of building $4,000 machines I'm one year
1t Is a little difficult to understand the
governments former attitude.
The balloon idea" was brought to
Washington in 1851 by Professor
Lowe. He was young inventor who
started us making artificial ice. He
died only four years ago after a long
life which was calculated to spite his
enemies In the capitol. They had call
ed him a lunatic when he proposed to
fly over the Confederate lines and
bring back Information.
There was q rumor that the hostile
army was about to attack. Young
loves balloon was used as a last re-
sort. He assembled about 5000 feet,
drffted over the enemy batteries, and
returned with what proved to be
straight dope that Johnny Red had no
intention of starting anything.
This exploit was such a feather In
loves bonnet that his pay was In
creased to SO day. Which ruined
him. For, though he made subsequent
flights-or drifts, the gross indecency
of paying a common Prof. such sum
when men were dying for less" ere
ated a near-riot. AS compromise II
was reduced to SO. But his retirement
soon followed. Sic semper the "cit."
The Union army then made its own
"aerostats," as they were called. Reg
ular reconnaissance work was carried
out, but as the balloon was always
captive the zone Of inquiry was very
narrow. Foreigners came over TO In
vestigate the wild rumors which had
become rife in Europe.
The technique of this early aviation
corps was very crude. Their gas bags
were of rough cotton goods. oiled. and
doubled-spIiced at the seams. Imitation
was achieved by means of hot air from
a pine-knot fire. A heavy rope anchor

ID ED TAPE was, once the means of
~ tying up official documents. Now
adays red tape Is the means Of tying
up most anything from gumshoes to
governments. Red tape may draw a
line against the errors Of slipshod
workers. More often, however, II fet-

Once In the feet there was a cap
tain who desired an especially conve-
nient form Of waste basket He had 10
made on requisition by the navy yard.
Unfortunately Just as 10 arrived aboard
he was ordered to another ship. In the
confusion Of departure the waste bas-
ket remained behind.
At the end of the quarter the cap
tain's yeoman fclerk) made an invoice
as per "regs." Everything checked up
o. x. but the basket. II was missing.
ana II could NOS be expended" be-
cause IL was an item Of some value
and rather new.
A letter Of inquiry was sent to the
old ship stating the case and request
ing that the article be forwarded. AZ
ter some weeks the letter was return
ed with several sheets Of endorse
ments attached. II turned out that the
navigator had taken the basket with
him when he went to command a Pa
cif1c coast cruiser.
The navigator Respectfully stated"
that his baggage had gone adrift, the
basket with IL; Whereupon a survey
or investigation was ordered by the
original owner. The yeoman prepared
all papers In due form explaining the
loss of the article and forwarded them
TO Washington.
These papers including six endorse
! ments Of explanation we're sent out TO
the navigator. He smeared on q few
more and mailed the packet back to
his old ship. On arrival the batch was
not fully understood. 1t was endorsed
a few times more and boosted on to
headquarters, who shot 1t back to the
captain.
Briefly that packet made the circuit
four and a half times. Each time II
| connected few dozen more endorse
ments, remarks, comments, inquiries
and respectful statements.
Finally the captain called I'm his yeo-
man. Jones'" he said, "if i find that
blankety-blank waste basket batch of
rot on my desk again I'm going to dis
rate you to coal-passer. If don't find
it I'll rate you up to chief" Jones aye
| aye-sired and beat 1t. He looked up
the monthly difference In pay between
his rate and that of chief. 1t was
something like ten dollars. He went
ashore and spent ten beans.
Next day the captain found under
his desk a fine new waste basket. II
was just like the one he'd lost. In the
| bottom of it was a pile of paper torn
| to bits. Red tape had been shipped In
| to a million pieces.
But suppose everybody started snip

Guinea PIas Come Hlah.

With the price of guinea pigs at an
almost prohibitive figure because of
the quantities used, another factor has
entered into the cost Of medical edu-
cation in colleges and universities, re
marks DR.. Meyer S. Fleisher, professor
Of bacteriology, in a statement issued
from st. Louis university. A strong
healthy guinea pig could be acquired
for 35 cehts and less several years
ago, but they now cost from rs cents
to SIPS.
From 800 to coo guinea pigs are
used annually in the school Of medi.

more. They are also used I'm the pri-
