II you lived In roOmlng house In

who lived In the country and Dragged
about II, and how sweetly the birds
lulled him into fOrgetfulness at night
with their melodies and cheered his
waking In the morning; and about the
flowers that he smeIt there; and told
you how sorry he was for you with
only the bare walls Of other rOomlng
houses to gaze at from your bedroom
window; and kept inviting you out to
his paradise; till you went.
And the night Of your going the
nelghbor across the road started spray

started spraying his trees with some
still smelller stun; and the nelghb0r

LOVE THAT is TRUE AND KIND
Some viii Say II is Considered Some
what old-Fashloned by the FLAP
pers" Of Today.

As David Mann, In Charles d.
Stewards "Valley Waters" listens to
"Lorena," he visuallzes the theme,
thus, of the old song of Civil war
times:
"The woman was beautiful. He had
found her to be beautiful in every way.
He had fallen In love with her In her
glrlhood and had received her love In
return.
And, having once loved her, he
could no more forget than he could
forget himself.
what man experiences has be-
come part Of his possessions; 1t must
remain part Of his life.
David could see that the man
would not only continue to love Lor-
ena, but that his love might grow
stronger and finer as time went on.
Having lost her, she would become
a cherished ideal, vision which never
grows old. And as time passed, In
stead Of forgetting her, he would be
come more conscious Of the lost years
the years that had not been passed
in her company"
That's the way when love il tru'
and kind. To an age Of fiappers anC
flippancies is 1t an old-fashlOned way

DREAM OF MANY INVENTORS


Perpetual motion has been the
dream of inventors for many cen
turtles. BY perpetual motion is usually
meant mechanical device which will
operate Of Its own power without such
external or Internal aids as wind, gas,
steam or any other element of force.
Some have come very near to attain
ing kind Of perfection by series
Of weights and balances; also by the
use Of quicksilver but while these
machines will operate for time, they
are unable In that time to develop
sufficient power to work machinery or
be Of any real benefit. In the town OF
Mlnnedosa, Man. an old gentleman
had for some years u machine Of his
own invention operated by series Of
weights by which he was said to have
run small lathe. A scientist named
Strut has invented an apparatus
which takes advantage Of radium
emanatlons upon a gold leaf electro
scope. This perhaps comes near to
an endless motion. but Is maintained
at the expense Of the molecular en-
ergy Of the radium.

EnQIne SETS New worId. RECORD.

Realizing that the most important
present development in aircraft On
gines is their durability. the naval bu
rean Of aeronautics recently increases
the endurance tests to as much as 30'
hours, In three runs OF 100 hours each
The purpose Of such long test was Il
run the engine to destruction, and thus
determine its exact length of life But
to the surprise OF the bureau, one en-
CINE, instead of being run to destruc-
tion, was still In perfect condition at
the end Of the 300-hour test. Experts
of the bureau say this new aircraft en-
CINE has established a worlds record
for fuel economy, as well as for dura-
billy. 1t is, they say, the best air
craft power equipment ever developed.
The engine. described In Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, is Of the eIght.cylin-
der v-shaped type, and develops an
average horse power of 175 This
would be sufficient to propel a FIVE
passenger airplane at speed Of so
miles an hour, which In 300 hours
would be equivalent to flying around
the world.

Car Embodles Now Ideas.

Starting where the motorcycle and
sldecar left off," an English inventor
has built an attractive light car which
combines the comfort Of the auto with
the economy and mobility of the side
car, says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The usual three wheels are retained
and the chassis frame is made up Of a
series Of trlangles. The body is mod
eled on that Of runabOut, with slant

Plane 10 carry FIftv soIdIers.

The construction Of an all metal air
plane which shall be the largest Of its
type In the world, Is the latest plan Of
the British air ministry. The machine
Is designed to carry 80 fully-armed
men approximately a platoon Of sol
dlers). II is proposed to equip II with
engines Of the new semi-Dlesel oil
type. Their use will not only very
considerably reduce the chances Of
fire In the air, but will largely ellmI.
nate the risk Of the stoppages which
now result from the delicacy Of pres
ent-dny carburetlon and magnetic sys-
tens. Experts believe that II would
be a comparatively easy matter to con-
struct planes for carrying 100 soldiers.
