Hint is quite natural for people to
GAI judge a woman's refinement and
good breeding by the thought she gives
to her personal appearance.
They realize that thoughtful woman
never neglects any of her personal
charms. And, among these personal
charms, the intelligent woman regards
the beauty of her hands as most i'm
portant.
She realizes that red and coarsened
hands result from the use of ordinary
household soaps which irritate the skin.
Therefore she chooses her household
soap as carefully as she selects her toilet
soap.
This very thoug ght is the reason why

AIRPLANE CATAPULT

A new type of airplane catapult in which
a powder charge is used for giving it's
initial start, instead of compressed air has
recently been tested by the u. S. Navy at
Washington with satisfactory results.
In the new type the catapult gun con-
tains a piston which is connected through
serise of multiple purchases or pulleys,
to a small wheeled car. The car which
the airplane is placed, runs on tracks which
are fifty feet long, and are secured to a
platform located on the top of a battleship
turret. When the powder charge is fired
on the gun, the piston being forced to move,
acts through the pulleys, thus pulling the
car suddenly forward along the tracks at a
speed of sixty miles per hour, carrying the
plane with it.
When the car reaches the end of the
track it is stopped by means of hydraulic
and spring buffers. The plane, with it's
engine going at full speed, is automatically
released from the car, and continues under
Its own power.
In the test made at the Naval Air Sta
ton, single scatter scouting monoplane OF
T the hydroplane type was used. The plane
left the catapult car and continued its flight
without any drop in altitude below the Level
Of the tracks which is unusual. This fact
was particularly pleasing to the officials
since heretofore it has been necessary to
have the tracks al such a height above the
water that catapults were impracticable fo1
several types of ships on which it was de-
sired to have them installed
The principal advantage of the gun type
catapult over the compressed air type lies
IN the speed and facility with which a mum
Der of planes may be catapulted from a
plane carrier. In using compressed air. II
is necessary to recharge the air tanks after
each shot, which takes considerable time
By the use of the gun type, the enormous
space and weight of the air compressing
machinery will be obviated.
All airplane carriers and other tvnes of
SHIPS carrying airplanes, will be equipped
with the gun type catapult as soon as the
Navy Department can build and install
them.-Science Service

who became millionaires almost overnight

before he turned prospector.
One night local society was enjoying It
self a big ball in the Hotel Vendome.
While the festivities were at their height

the lobby furiously putting on a pipe and

In Justice to Our Farmers

~ EORGIA farmers look to the State de-
Y partment Of agriculture for timely re-
ports on the quality of commercial fer
tilizers, upon which may depend large meas.
ure of the success or failure Of their crops.
But before the reports can be issued careful
analyses must be made of the fertilizer sam
pies, which pour in, 1t seems at the rate OF
three thousand month. Prompt and ade-
quates Laboratory tests Of so many specimens
are impossible unless the equipment and the,
working staff are sufficient and, according
to Commissioner Brown they are now sorely
insufficient, because of the meager appro-
priation made for them
The original intention of the Legislature
was that this important service, along with
certain related activities, should be main
tanned by the so-called fertilizer tag tax 1t
appears, however, that mere modicum of
this revenue, which last year was consider
ably in excess of hundred thousand dollars,
is allowed the department of agriculture for
analyses of fertilizers and of calcium arsen-
ate. AS told in our news columns "The Leg
islature appropriated only fourteen thousand
dollars year for the laboratory, which ag-
ricultural department officials say is insuffi-
Client to operate on if efficiency Is to be main
tanned. Farmers purchasing fertilizer and
calcium arsenate are entitled to chemical
analysis reports before they use these prod
ucts, rather than after the crops are harvest
ed 1t Is declared. There are now almost
th~ee thousand five hundred samples await
ing analysis, and the laboratory, working
fourteen hours a day. is able to anayze only
pne thousand samples per month with its
present personnel and equipment Upward
OF three thousand samples come in every
month during the busy season, it is said"
These being the facts, it is obvious that
more adequate provision should be made for
service which involves so much for the
good fortune of the farmer and the prosper
ity of the State. Suppose thousand tons of
fertilizer were deficient in, say, heterogeneous
elements: or suppose large output OF cal
cium arsenate was not up to standard The
results for the farms concerned might we'll be
more disastrous than the longest drought or
the severest onset of boil weeyils. In Justice
TO agriculture and to the manifold interests
dependent thereon, there should be an appro-
priation sufficient for making prompt analy-
SEES and forehanded reports.

Fact and Fancy at the Pole

DERsoNs having no problems of their
own in which to forget the severi-
ties of summer solstice may be mind
ed to consider the conflict Of flags in the
Amundsen polar expedition. Though led by
a son of Norway, this flight for the top of the
world will include an Italian and American
airplane, each piloted by citizen Of those
respective countries. What colors shall be
carried? Those of Norway alone, under
whose authority the expedition is to proceed,
or those also of Italy and Of the United
States? The commander of the Italian plane,
which was given by Premier Mussolin, con-
tends that the enterprise is international and
therefore should fly the flags of all its chief
participants.
Another issue will press for settlement
when, and if, the explorers reach their OBJ
jective. The pole itself belongs indisputably
to the Stars and Stripes, having been discov-
cred by Peary-in 1909, If memory serves,
But inasmuch as the Admiral found only ice
on which to plant his nations flag it is in
sisted by others that America has no estab-
lished claim to land in the regions round
about, If such land does in fact exist. What,
then, will be the rights of Norway, through
Amundsen, in the event Of his expedition's
discovering extensive land masses?
That such territory may lie folded in the
bosom of the snow-bound north is deemed
possible by scientists and has been the sub
ject Of many a weaver of romance The most
creditable authority at our hand, because the
one nearest the scene of contingent action, is
the Seattle Times. Should land be found
that newspaper says, cit may never be worth
anything. However, the discussion of air
routes across the polar sea from North Amer
lea to Europe has created much interest in
the unsolvetf problem. A landing place
would come in mighty handy ('mighty' handy
mark the transpIanted Southerner's idom)
for airships plying between America and
Europe
For our own part we like to think of that
undiscovered country as an island miracu-
north's bleakness, place of enchanting for
ests, gay-plumaged birds, delectable fruits
and living fairy tales, all told by Santa Claus
himself as he rests him under a greenwood

exposed, caused heart failure, and both

I have just read one of the concluding
addresses delivered before the National Ed
ucational association by it's secretary, one
j. w. Crabtree, at it's late session in Wash
ington City, where he made the broad
statement that school progress in this
country is opposed by rich people"
This busy person may have been honest
in his opinion, but the facts go to show
that a great many of the richest people
in America have been immense benefactors
giving millions upon millions for the
benefit Of thousands Quilt up like Mr..
Crabtree on his prejudices and communis-
