If you rode in an open automobile
at any time during the past Winter
you know how cold the ride was. The
wind numbed your face and hands
and made your feet feel like two far
distant cakes of ice. But have you
ever thought how cold it must be for
the men who pilot the airplanes which
carry Uncle Sans mails through the
sky?
Even in Summer 1t is much colder
when you get up in the air away from
the earth, but in Winter the tempera
ture is far below zero. Moreover, the
airplanes, which travel at speed OF
almost 100 miles an hour, drive into
a fierce wind that makes it seem even
colder. Wouldn't you think that these
brave aviators who travel from coast
to coast in all kinds of weather with
our letters would freeze to death?
They would If it were not for one
little invention that keeps them warm

his body. This keeps him warm, no
matter how cold the air becomes.
The aviator, when he is running his
plane, sits deep down in the cockpit
so that only his head extends above
it's sides. He wears a heavy helmet
like a foot ball headgear, which pro-
tects him from the wind and keeps his
ears warm. In front of his face Is a
little windshield that breaks the force
of the gale, which would otherwise
soon freeze his face. Goggles, a heavy
Jumper suit and fur gloves offer
him still further protection from the
frigid air.
The aviators say that they never
are cold and that driving an airplane
in Winter is not as bad as driving an
open automobile. Last year the Gov.
ernment mail planes travelled over a
million and half miles. This year
they will travel ever farther. And 1t
would all be impossible if 1t were not
for that little pipe which carries the
hot air from the engines exhaust into
the cockpit where the aviator sits.

Things Which Are Of Interest Younger Read
Ancients Had TOYS.

Did you ever stop to wonder what
the Egyptian children did to amuse
themselves? Or the Romans or the
Greeks? They had just as nice play
things as you, only not so many. Some
Egyptian toys found in the tombs
were little jointed dolls, something
like those we have to dance upon a
stick, and crocodiles which would
open and shut their mouths. These
children, OF course, lived in a. country
where crocodiles were as common as
horses are to u.s..
The Roman children had hoops and
tops just about like the ones we have
now, and you can bet they had Just
as much fun with theirs. The toys
which the children of the Middle Ages
had were often laboriously made and
beautifully finished. There were no
special toy-making factories then, and
the gold or silver smith who carved
intricate designs on metal for mem
bers of the court might have been
called upon to turn outTa toy. When
he did so, he still used the same care
and skill that he employed for his
other work. s ~ -

full motors which run the airplanes
get very hot. You know how hot the
motor in an automobile becomes when
it is run at high rate Of speed. Air
plane motors run much faster and get
even hotter.
After the gasoline stexploded in the
cylinders of the engine the fumes are
carried away through an exhaust pipe.
On the mail planes there is a. jacket
around this pipe. which the heat of
the engine makes very warm. Lead
ing from the jacket and carried
through another pipe Is a current OF
very warm air. The aviator sits in an
operating compartment called the
cockpit The pipe carrying this hot
air leads directly to the floor of the
cockpit.
Thus while the plane Is speeding
through snow clouds with the ther-
mometer registering many degrees
below zero, a constant stream of very
hot air flows into the cockpit about
the aviator's feet and rises all around

Easter Brides Set Styles Choosing Either Long OF

modern wedding. For the little girls
there are tiny frocks with the short
est of short skirts, and for the boys
rather tight. long trousers of colored
satin worn with white silk shirts with
neck and wrist ruffies-looking for all
the world like children painted by Van
Dyke centuries ago.
Bridal bouquets are large or small
some of them so small that they are
rightly enough called nosegays and
some Of them so large that they are
rather awkward to carry. With the
gracefully draped gown the less for
NAL bouquet is customary-with the
quaint robe de style the prim mid
Victorian bouquet is chosen.
One society bride recently carried a
nosegay of orange blossoms to the
altar-and among the orange blossoms
were a few small oranges, which, for
good luck's sake, were tied with blue
ribbon.
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed and sonie-
thing blue" runs the old adage.
Four or five white Gala lilies
loosely arranged and tied with wide
bow and streamers of white ribbon
was the bouquet carried by one bride
recently. Her bridesmaids carried
quite small bouquets of lilies of the
valley and the flower girls carried
large baskets laden with all sorts of
fiowers-roses. forget-me- -nots, lilies
and English daisies.
There seems to be tendency now
toward uniformity in choosing the
costumes of the various members of
the bridal party. In one case the
maid of honor wore froch almost
identical to that of the bHde--save
that she had no train and wore q hat
instead of a veil. Again the little
flower girls were dressed in exact
miniature editions of the brides
maids frocks and at still other wed
dings the bridesmaids have all been
dressed exactly like the bride-save
for the train. They sometimes wear
veils-but not so long as that of the
bride.

Easy for Swordfsh.

Did you know there was a creature
that could push it's nose through the
hull of q vessel?
It's the swordf1sh, which has a
sharp, pointed sword on the front of
it's head. When it attacks ship 1t
gives a great lunge which drives it's
sword through heavy beams, copper
and all, often reaching the hold of
the vessel. Usually the knifelike nose
is then stuck so tightly that 1t can't
get it out and the ship sails safely to
port without a drop of water entering
through the hole.
There is another curious fish some
what like the swordfish except that
it is smaller, not generally exceeding
IL feet in length, whereas the sword
fish is often 20. The sawfish instead
of spearing enemies saws through
them,
Both creatures are enemies of the

VANCOUVER, B. C., Jan. Al was because Alex Ducharme, for 1C years trapper in the lonely Chilco Lake district, feared a gold rush would drive him from the wild little kingdom which he had come to re. gard as his own, that he started a quarrel which resulted in his own death, November 8, last.
 This, at least, is the story which Fred Cyr, charged with the mur- der of the old hunter, told friends in Williams Lake, B. C., before he felt there to guide a Coroner's jury to the grave of the man he ad- mitted shooting.
 It will take the jury at least two wekes to make the trip.
 Cyr ha dmushed all the way in to the Provincial police post at Hance- liam's lake, to give himself up after the tragedy.
 The journey took him nine days. He then told Constable McRae that the dispute which had resulted in the fatal shooting had been over a trap line and that he had shot in sef-defens.
