New York, Sept. 14.--N omen are

the statement. He says the men claim
they ase going straight because they
have found that travelers are too care

But where men have dropped cards
and dice, women have taken them

One big liner recently came into

liner had reached the pier he popped
into view, sore and disguised, with
disappointment easy to be read IN his
face.

grumbled.
His story was brief. He had ceceiv-
ed wireless tom that there was
woman aboard, aristocratic and cui-

to several of the men passengers;
that she had reluctantly consented to
play bridge practically every nlgkt at
sea; that she had collected rather
heavily at the end of each sitting.
Il talked to about five men about
her., continued Eddie, and not one
would complain. She was woman,
they said and they We're not wiling TO
accuse woman Of cheating at cards.
So had to let the Duchess come ashore
and she has just passed her baggage.
She will probably be back on the

BUSTER BAT

T F. the folks that build airplanes
N could hit on some material for the
wings as strong. as light. as fiexi-
are made of. their biggest trouble
would be over. Notwithstanding that
l can fly. and fly pretty well too. to
tell the truth. l have no real wings.
At one time in the history OF our
family. we had just four legs like a
mouse. and we had to catch our prey
by creeping near and then springins
upon it. but as the kind of food we
liked got harder and harder to find.
nature saw that we would have 10
have a better and a quicker way of
getting about, If we were not to
starve. So the fingers or toes on our
fore feet began to get longer and
longer with each generation. and as
they grew soft skin gradually con-
nected them clear down to fingers
ends.
So at last. we had what people call
our wings. though they are not really
and truly wings. such as birds have.
II YOU will look closely at one OF
these so-called wings, you will see
that the thumbs did not keep up with
the growth of the fingers. but instead
OF getting longer. they just turned into
sharp pointed hooks After all this
had taken place. we found that by
waving our hands we could lift our
selves mp. and it wasn't long before
We were flying, and we have been at

heels, like you would hang up coat
or hat, with the comfortable assurance
that when she came back. 1t would
be hanging just where she left it.
But sometimes the bat mother takes
the young one with her, clinging to
her neck as she fits over the fields,
or zig-zags through the timber.
We bats, have a sense, that Is
neither seeing, smelling, hearing, feel
ing or tasting. Nobody knows what
1t is, or exactly how it works, but
whatever 1t is. it keeps us from
humping into things when flying. We
do not know ourselves what 1t is, but
we do know that we can shut our eyes
and fly through the thickest woods,
just as we'll as IL we could see. To
prove this curious thing. once a man
caught some bats, blindfolded them
so they couldn't see a wink, and then
turned them loose in a room that had
whole lot of wires stretched across
in every direction, and the blind
bats can fly around and around that
room and never brushed a wire with
the tip of wing. This seems very
strange and impossible, and we don't
know how to explain it. but any bat
will tell you II is so. Our movements
through the air are governed by a
turning of the tail. to one side or the
other, just as a boat is guided by
the rudder. Flying comes so natural
that we just fly without thinking any
thing about IT, but walking is a very
different matter. and it Is as difficult
