as we strolled along the deck OF
the transatlantic liner on which
we>were travelling to Europe and.
then on to Egypt.
Good idea, Bobby" said j.
st think a little exercise would
do us good"
So up to the gymnasium we
went. Bobby tried everything,
and 1 had to laugh when ne
mounted the mechanical horse
and cried "Get up" as the at
tendant turned on the electric
switch to start the horse into a
trot.
NOW, TIL, go for a gallop,
shouted Bobby as another switch
was turned on to change the
motion of the horse.
How would you like to try
the camel?" asked the man in
charge.
Fine" said Bobby, and on to

built to initiate that OF saddle
for camels. jumped Bobby.
'Whew!' said Bobby, ''but this
does twist you around, and then
he laughed as the powerful ma
chine twisted him around IN the
big saddle.
That's good practices for you,
Bobby" 1 said. Because, you
know, when you get to Egypt
you will be riding on real
camel
So every day Bobby went up
to the gym and practieed on the
mechanical camel.
We landed in Italy and took
another ship across the Medi-
terranean to Egypt.
We visited the Sphinx and the
Pyramids and then went on a
trip into the desert.

MITCHELL WARNS AGAINST
WILD AVIATION SCHEMES
By CHARLES B. FARMER.
Universal Service staff Correspondent,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.--Do you
want your money to fly away?
If not. don't invest your hardwon
pennies in aviation schemes. inyen.
tons, planes and air transportation
companies unless you own banker
and some recognized aeronautical au-
thority passes on your "chNnce 10
maAe n million out of air."
This is my advice-and it's also the
warning of Colonel William Mitchall,
L. $. A., who possibly is the greatest
living authority ON acronautical mat
tiers.
II you knew what was going on
here in Washington but we'll ct
Billy" Mitchell speak first. Here's
his message to the American public,
delivered through Universal Service !:
BE mighty careful about investing
in aviation projects. Some are good
some not. | look for trcmen-

followed the invention Of wireless
tclegraphy
Remember how wireless telegraph

Well. that's what faces America today
in the aviation line.
GO TO YOUR BANKER.

your banker to call in recognized
expert. The first will tell you
whether it is sound financial invest
ment; the latter will advise whether
it is economically sound
Automatically sound - that's a
new term that soon will be heard on
the Stock Exchange.
Yes. there is money in some forms
Of aviation. Manufacturing, for eX-
ample. if you have exclusive rights To
patents for a successful plane which
is actually ordered by the government
or other responsible authority.
There's also some money in carry
ing mails and express, providing you
have n good contract over an excel
lent route, and do not have to provide
your own landing fields. Also prOvid-
ing you hire excellent pilots who won't
crash n plane to splinters more than
once in three years. Also providing
that you use fast planes which use a
minimum Of fuel. and which won't
have to be replaced every year.
There are lots of provisions" that
a competent air expert-and an hon
est one-must pass on before yJui
bankers will advise converting your

SMALL 81 Coin
IS PLANNED
BY MINT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-Treasury
officials virtually have decided TO
mint Il new coin, n combination gold
and silver dollar, because of the rapid
deterioration Of paper money.
Experiments are now being made for
a coin of smaller sibe than the present
81 "cartwhcel." to be distinctive in
appearance to prevent it being mis-
taken for any other coin. 1t will be
slightly larger than a quarter and
heavier because of the gold. A gold
center with q rim of silver is being
considered.
Banking and merchandising inter
csts which handle large sums of money
have indicated to the treasury that
such substitute for the dollar bill
would be very desirable. Those who
prefer bills still will be able to get
them, but the treasury is determined
TO put some of the dollar exchange
business on a metallic basis.
In considering the new coin, Off
cials of the mint declare dollars com
posed entirely of gold would be toe
small and the yellow metal would
not withstand the wear and heavy
usage to which the dollar is subjected
whereas an alloy would.
The hard usage to which paper dol
lars are subjected more than doubles
the cost Of currency production by thu
United States. The dollar bill is the
common laborer of American currency

CRICKET MAKES Home
mid PRICELESS ART

BOSTON, Nov. 2S.-For those
fancying the cricket's song, what nicer
than to browse in the cellar of the Bos-
ton Museum of Fine Arts, for there
he dwells, the idle songster, in the
midst to beauty of riches, art and
sings-wonders, perhaps.
1t is the storage Of paintings that
the cricket lives. The furnishings of
his residence are serricd rows of steel
wire curtains, to which are affixed the
glories of Halls and Velasquez. Corot
and Desas. Cezanne and Reynolds and
hundred others. all waiting, in a
carefully regulated temperature. TO be

Copyright. 1895. by Universal service.
JERUSALEM, Nov. 2S.-The fate
of Palestine, the national home of the
Jews, may not be unaffected by :he
Syrian revolution.
The fires of nationalistic uprisings
of the Moslems, sweeping along the
eastern frontiers of Palestine. have al
most reached the coast near Sidon.
The Arab population of Palestine,
the members of which are intensely
opposed TO the country being given
over to the Jews, are nervous and
restless. and are watching the sue
ccsses of the Syrians closely.
AUTHORITIES CONFIDENT.
Lord Plumer. British high commits
sioner for Palestine. and Sir Ronald
Stores, governor of Jerusalem, ex-
press themselves as confident the
Arabs of Palestine will not lose their
heads and become infected with the
nationalistic fever of their co-religion-
lists Of Syria.
$50 far, everything has been qaiet
in Palestine we have had no troubles,
and hope things will remain So"
This declaration was made to me by
Sir Ronald, who said a few Syrian
rebels had crossed the frontier, but
had fled back into Syria upon sight Of
the Palestine gcndarmeric.
There is no questioning the fact that
the Arabs. who are intensely hostile
to the Zionist movement. have not
been carried off their feet by the
Syrian uprising. due largely to the
popularity of Lord Plumer and Sill
Ronald STORES. whose impartiality is
much praised.
BRITISH NERVOUS.

Universal Service staff Correspondent

universal service starr correspondent.
PARIS, Nov 2S.-E. Darlington,
author Of "Glorious Apollo" and "The
Divine Lady" has done more for
fashion this year than most designers.
Such is the verdict of some of the best
Paris fashion houses. such as Cabot,
Madeleine, Vionnet and Poiret, who,
since the publication by the Hearst
newspapers Of ''The Divine Lady
have scrapped full series of models in
order TO adopt the styles Of Lady
Hamilton for their next collections.
The pictured flowing drapcries of
Lady Hamilton in the society fiction
are destined to replace tight bodices
Skirts wider at the hips and extreme
ly wide at the hem replace the present
flaring models. Ribbons, flounces.
laces. silk flowers in pastel coloring
will mark the return of century-olG
taste.
DIFFER ON SLEEVES.
Where the various Paris houses
differ is in the matter of sleeves.
/ Poiret has cut off sleeves altogether,
his smartest model having even a
/ sleeveless OvercOat.
Yionnet instead features tight
| sleeves without a single adOrnment.
| Cabot makes robes which. while un'
questionably reminiscent of Lady
! Hamilton's old prints, are yet adapt
| ed to modern cOnYeniences.
Such model was launched recent
