The tes. performance Of . new
Curtiss Pursuit Plane has caused a
sensation in the Army and Navy ser
vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Race
at Detroit, in which a new all-Ameri-
can motor finished in the first four
places, it has been expected that
military planes of super-type would
make their appearance at almost any
time. The actual performance Of the
first pursuit ship Of a series surpasses
expectation.
In many respects, this aeroplane is
a departure from precedent. It uses
the same Curtiss motor used In the
racing ships at Detroit. It is equipped
with wing radiators. the most radical
advance in the art Of cooling q motor

Yesterdays Mother to
To-day's Daughter
Continued from Page -Four.

that she should yield to their wishes, that
not only her actions but her thoughts
should be subject to their authority. The
mother of yesterday must realize that
owing to the wider education she has
given her daughters she must expect to
find in them a corresponding spirit of in
dependence.
The main complaint made against the
modern daughter by her parents is her
lack of sense of duty toward them. That
position is changing. Nowadays one of
the last things desired by a modern mother
is that her children should do things for
her only from a sense of duty. Beyond a
doubt the demands made on the modern
girl by her parents are extremely selfish
The girl is expected to give herself up
completely to her parents wishes, ire
spective Of her aspirations to a career,
mode of life selected by herself Marriage
Is in her parents eyes the one career that
justifies the girl in leaving her home In
nine cases out of ten when girls take up
careers, even with the consent of their
parents. they know at the same time that
they have implanted in their parents
minds feeling Of disappointment. To the
mother Of yesterday il seems impossible
that her daughter should feel strong
love for her parents and yet forsake the
parental roof.
