WRITING IN THE SKY.

NEW YORK.-"Hello, u. s. A."
was written in white letters mile
long across the pale blue of a win
ter sky above lower New York few
days ago. Traffic was tied up as
drivers, chauffers and pedestrians
stopped to watch the white scrawl
and barely discern the airplane
which trailed the lines like chalk
mark behind 1t. Not since the days
when airplanes were a novelty has
there been such craning of necks
and blocking of sidewalks.
The message was written by
Captain Cyril Turner of London to
demonstrate "sky advertising" by
means Of smoke generator and
ejecting apparatus in the fusilage of
an airplane.
He ascended from Mitchell field
in Mineola, and at height of 10000
feet began to trace the words by

LopsrDED FOLKS.

Too much of the trafYic of human
life flows in one direction only. Too
many folks can see themselves and
their own interests only, and insist
upon Others keeping out of their
way. There should be more stop"
and proceed" signs. Endless traffic
in one way only means infringement
on the others rights, congestion and
lack of balance.
Folks become lopsided because
they stress one thing and ignore all
other things. They fail to see that
there are other good things in this
world besides the hobby they ride
The American boy who is so fond
of work that he has no desire to play
of witness football or baseball
game is lopsided. He is either no.
nentity or else is bearing down on
other things that are robbing him
of the desire for relaxation. The
one who makes play business and
loses his head over craving for pleas
ure is to be pitied. That one is
without serious goal in life.
Many man is driving his busi
ness. Blind to everything else. that
one reaches the place where the bus
mess drives him. He becomes lop-
sided, instead of living the bal
anced life.
Much of the latent energy of life
is not released, and tremendous
waste of natural resources is the re-
suit. This is because of the one
way flow of human traffic. Many a
reformer becomes q bore and pest
because he does not distribute his
energy into more than one province.

HAROLD had been told by hi
- mother that big cities were full
OF designing women. Harold did no
know whether his mother was righ
or not. But he did know that In hi.
city boarding house there was one o.
the dearest little girls who had evei
lived.
Harold was not selfish. He was faI
from being miser. His idea of O
miser was chap he had known in his
home town. He had never spent any
money which he could possibly avoid
spending. He always ate with his
friends and rarely paid for meal. He
was always out Of cigarettes and so
smoked his friends cigarettes.

never failed to talk Of his poverty.
He had been accused Of worshiping
money and he had replied: mot BIT

told him Of person she had known
whom she considered miser, and she
had told him of Joke upon this
'niser." For he had hargained with q
little shop dealer and had obtained an
article marked dollar for fifty cents,
and then had walked down the street
little farther on and had seen the
same article In another window for
twenty-five cents. And finally he hod
seen 1t In ten-cent store for dime
well, he had almost considered life
useless, while everyone else had re-
3oiced that II had been good one on
the "miser."
One Of the reasons that made him
feel that she thought, perhaps, he was
mean was because she knew others
who were generous. Or. at least. one
other.
Every Saturday she had received
flowers. She had taken card out of
the box as they had sat at the board
ing house table at breakfast. The
other boarders teased her about her
admirer and she seemed to enjoy 1t.
Only he felt uncomfortable and could
nay nothing.
And Helen, whom he called to him
seaf the dearest little girl. had been
receiving these flowers for quite a
1ew weeks now.
Finally he could stand II no longer.

"And you've cared for me all along

She nodded. And then he told her
the warnings he had been given by his
mother.

right" Helen said. II made designs
for you, she could truthfully say"
But neither Of them thought of the
past, only Of the glorious future ahead.

TRAIN YOUR MUSCLES.

you cannot have a strong. well
developed body unless you train
your muscles, for unless muscles arc
used they won't grow. Do you know
what would happen if you were to
hold your arm perfectly still for two
or three months? Well, once 1 had
my arm strapped to my chest for six
weeks and when they took 1t down 7
thought it belonged to somebody else
because the muscles had shrunken
TO less than half their former size
Your bones are a frame TO which
the muscles are attached Every
movement you make, from batting
the eye to jumjing a rope is pro-
duced by the action of from one to
dozens and dozens of muscles If
the muscles are weak, therefore, all
your work and play is weakened. for
all your actions depend on moving
muscles.
one-sided work and one-sided plav
develop one-sided body, because
only certain groups of muscles are
developed. For instance, the post
man develops strong legs and may
nave weak arms, while the wood
chopper may have strong arms and
weak legs. So it takes all around
work and all around play, if that
body Is to be properly developed and
physically perfect.
You have to learn to do things. Z"
For example, the baby learns to talk.
you learn to throw rock, or to
write. All this learning just means
that your mind has to develop con-
troll of certain groups of muscles
and then you do the things as a mat
ter OF course. But some boys throw
ball straighter and truer than 9TH
ers, and some people write a better
hand than others, and this Just
means that they have taught their
muscles better action and established
better relations between their mind
and muscles.
Can you do better work and bet
ter play and make your muscles
stronger and more obedient? You
certainly can If you'll try, but you'll
have to keep on trying. Get the

them faithfully. Play all kinds Of
games In the open air so you will de-
velop all your muscles. Sleep with
your windows open, drink a full
glass of water every hour or two,
and drink from a pint to quart Of
milk day. Eat plenty of green
vegetables and also enough bread
and meat, SO you will have a bal
