been active in formulating the rules
Of air traffic. This is field in which
he is really an expert, for he was for
long one of the air law experts Of the
American Bar Association. These
rules will be based in good part on the
laws and rules which European coun-
tries have put into operation. OFF,
Gals Of the department have already
made a pretty complete study or the
rules in operation in the principal
nations of Europe. 1t is hoped that
by the time American rules are per
fected we will have enough knowl-
edge to draw. up code that VIII put
us ahead of any European country.
There are several other activities
which have engaged Secretary Mac
Cracken's attention. One OF these is
the report on weather conditions
which the Department of Agriculture.
through the Weather Bureau. must
hereafter make for the benefit OF
flyers. Several bitches have so far
prevented the working out Of a. COM
prehensive plan for distributing these
reports but the Secretary hopes that
it will soon be clear sailing.
Would Increase Exports.
Another matter Is the encourage
ment of air exports-that Is. of air
equipment, machinery and planes.
throughout the world today compe'
tition is keen in the matter Of inter
national trade in air equipment. And
one Of the best ways of stimulating
the domestic industry is through the
DEVELOPMENT of overseas markets for
the products of our airplane factories
Secretary MacCracken hopes soon tC
be able to increase considerably the
existing markets abroad.
Still another matter is the location
of municipal landing fields. Some
cities. such as Boston, have already
established landing fields, or airports
as they are sometimes known. Others
and these include some of the largest
cities. have made no such provision
The location of a landing field is de
pendent, of course. upon air traffic
conditions. small town might nee6
a larger field than a good sized city II
it is a junction point for several i'm
portant air lines. Here the advice
of experts of the Department of Com
merce will prove of great value tc
city officials.
Uniform Rate Urged.
| An important suggestion recently
made has been the establishment OF
a uniform air mail postage rate
| Present rates vary greatly and the
air mail would be helped and the pub
| lie benefited if uniform rate were
| laid down regardless of the distance
| that the letter was to be carried. Il
| only costs . cents to send a lettei
! from New York to Manila and il
costs cents also TO send a letter
J from one house to another. A Stand
ardization of the rates. il is argued
would he a great boon TO the public
and it is not unlikely that the Govern
| ment will shortly take steps to bring
| this about.

 Katherine must not suspect my errand, however. ] must have some plausible excuse for leaving the house, and, spurriug my brain for some pretext which would be ac- ccpred by her clear insight, l went to the kitchenette where Katie was working.

 "I was shoost going 10 put in Ieetfe roast" she said "but dot would nefor get done in time. l tink you want sometings qveek,"
 "Yes. Katie, as soon as you can prepare it." I said.
 Den l guess we better have some nice lamb chops und some French fried potatoes und some peas und salad und strawberry shortcake und some coffee. l got eferyting in house but lamb chops und straw berries. but if I go for dem l no can get dinner qveek and I don't tink dey come right away by telephone order"

He knew the other was Killers mate. He sat down 10 watch them. II was then that he discovered that even high in the air as the two great birds were there was a dis tinct difference. Mrs. Killer was noticeably larger than Killer. Also, her wings were different. Killers wings were narrower. enough dif- ferent from those Of his mate 10 distinguish him even at a great height. After awhile both birds dis appeared. Then Farmer Browns Boy began his upward climb again. Almost at once he heard th" screams of the Duck Hawks, and again he saw them in the air, He knew that their keen eyes had dis covered him the moment he moved.
 II was slow work and hard work climbing up toward the foot Of those lodges. At last he reached a place where he could look along the entire face of the cliff. The hawks were still in the air. He sat down and remained motonloss. By and by Mrs. Duck Hawk, still screaming, flew over 10 q iugging bit of rock on the base of the cliff and perchcd there. Later she was joined hy Killer himself. Still Farmer Brown s Boy did not move. After while Mrs. Duck Hawk flew out cIrclcd two or three times, and finally dropped down on tiny ledge of rock and disappeared. Then all vas ouict. Farmer Browns Boy knew then that on that tiny ledge, which really was nothing but a little shelf. the nest would be found. His heart gave bound. That little shelf looked as if it might be climbed 10, and this was more than he had cA- pected.

Menus for the Family
BY SISTER MARY

If you would serve iced tea as fragrant and sparkling as the hot beverage choose the brand with care and keep in mind the follow ing suggestions.
 In making tea 10 be iced allow twice as much dry tea for each cup as for hot tea.
 Be sure the teapot is hot when tea is put in.
 The water must be actively boil ing when poured over the leaves.
 Let tea steep for ten minutes and serve at once.
 To serve fill glasses full of crack cd ice or one-third full of clipped or shaved ice. Pour tea on the ice. taking care not 10 touch the glass with the hot tca. Serve with soc- tions of lemon or orange and pow dercd sugar
 Or the juice of lemon or orange can be used in place of the fruit and simple syrup in place Of sugar.
 This syrup is most convenient 10 keep on hand during the summer months as it combines more quick ly with fruit juices than plain sugar.
 Freshly brcwed. well made tea poured over ice is not al all the same beverage that is made and cooled and weakened with cold wa tor and finally served in a tall glass with a piece Of ice The first is clear with a delicate fragrance and taste while the second is cloudy with a bitter puckory taste no matter how weak or sweet fruity you make it.
 If you want 10 use inc fruit juice and syrup in your iced tea serve them in small pitchers or bowls with dessert spoons or cream ladies, Many persons like the bowl and ladle better than inc pitcher as they can tell better how much 10 use.
 Recipe For syrup
 The simple syrup is made as fol- lows:
 One cup granulated sugar, 1-2 cun boiling water
 Put sugar and water in smooth sauce pan. bring 10 the boiling point. cover and boil for five minutes.
 This is a rather thick concontrat- cd syrup One tablespoonful will be enough to sweeten a glass of tea for the average taste.
 CoyIon toa is usually liked for iced toa on account Of it's beautiful color but your favorite brand of tca mix cd with reylon is q wise choice since if gives you your preferred flavor with the color,
 A trip through q five and ten-cent store or your favorite house-furn- ishing department will show you in- numcrahlo iced tea sets and gaily rolored "muddlors." 1T you choose inc "sirpcrs' with a tiny bright crusher look at the openings in the glass tube at the top and at the bot tom. Sometimes they are so small the slipper cant sip.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. HUGH $. CEAINuNG Surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service

In a previous article n was point ed out that children learn by ex- perience under the watchful care of the parent and gradually develop powers Of independent observation.
 Many dangers that are readily seen by the parent do not present themselves to the consciousness of the child, or if they do, are not clearly perceived and are accepted as dangers "on faith"
 The child has difficulty in appre- ciating the catastrophes that are aycrted. though they may have been Of very grave concern to the parent.
 In the same way the adult mind registers no reaction 10 unperceived dangers. It reacts very fecbly to ac- counts of unperceiyed dangers avert ed, unless such accounts are related very viyidly The mind becomes thoroughly aroused, however, when the danger is clearly perceived or known 10 be imminent
 Difficult as the task is, one pur- P"'' OL 'H'oC ditititS IS u present 10 the reader a mental concept of some of the unseen dangers that are constantly almost automatically be- ing ayerted by the activities of two important cooperative forces of modern society the medical profos- sion and the department of health.
 The one fact that should be inn pressed upon the mind of the readers of this article today is that the protection afforded them in the averting of these dangers requires consummate skill, adequate training, and eternal vigilance on the part of your public health servants, plus your own cooperation.

 "Lucia's house." I repeated banaI- Iy when Katherine uttered the words in answer to my assertion that Hal Meredith would not permit her to carry out her obstinate purpose of fulfilling her promise to nurse his wife.
 "Yes. Lucia's house. she repeated. Ut was given her by her father when she married Hal II he has not al- ready put her under actual restraint as an insane patient he can hardly forbid me to come ln."
 For sheer unreasoning obstinacy commend me to q gentle, quiet, low ing woman when something involv- ing her sense of duty is involved. That I was only wasting breath and strength in actively opposing her saw and suddenly changed my tao tics.
 When a woman will she will and you may depend ont ' l quot ed. 50 I throw up my hands. I'll promise not to say another word if you'u only wait until Katie has pre- pared hot meal for you, and I'll help you get ready, so you won t waste any time.'
 "You dear" she said gratefully oHow | wish I didn't have to fly in the face of your counsels and wishes ike this. But 1 shall be more grate- fuI for some of Katie's good food, and if there's anything you can do for me I'll call on you. But I'm afraid no one can give me any help. I'm such a fuss budget you know
 Shegave me a wan little smile as she turned away and, though l was furious at her obstinacy, my heart sched for the suffering and forebod- ing which I knew were hers al the task she had set herself.
 One thing l knew I must do how ever. Hal Meredith depended upon me to prevent katherines carrying out her Quixotic project and now that I had failed, l must let him know that the little nurse insisted upon going to Lucia within the next two hours.

Patience often VIII allalh
 What nothing else could ever gain.
 Farmer Browns Boy.
 Farmer Browns Boy had lost hree pigeons. Each one had been taken in mid-air in full flight. At first he had not known just who it was who was carrying away these pigeons. He had known it was a member of the hawk family but it was a hawk he had never recog- nized. Now he knew who 1t was. He knew it was Killer the Duck Hawk, who really is a falcon. He remembered having read how in the old days in England and France fayorite sport of kings and nobIes had been hunting by means of ial- cons; and here was a bird closely related 10 those falcons that had been used in this royal sport. He knew it for a comparatively rare bird. and for that reason he had no desire 10 get his terrible gun and shoot it.
 q suspect" multered Farmer Browns Boy, as he watched Killer rapidly disappearing with the third pigeon, that you have nest some where over on the Big Mountain and that my pigeons are going to feed your young I should lik" to find that nest. I believe tomorrow I'll take q day off and look for it,
 So on the morrow. with lunch in his pocket, Farmer Browns Boy started for the Big Mountain. Now on one side Of the Big Mountain series of lodges Of sheer rock rose abruptly. T. was for these Hedges that Farmer Browns Boy headed for he knew that if Killer had nest on the Big Mountain it would be on a ledge Of rock a ledge which very likely could not be climbed to, So Farmer Browns Boy worked along through the valley on the side of the lodges and then began slow ly 10 climb the mountains. All the time he kept looking mp.
 He was perhaps half way np 10 the foot of the lodges when he

New Britain herald., 1926-06-29


 The next morning. while the baby was having her nap at the foot of Aunt Agony's four-poster he'd, Syl- via went home for some clean things for her.
 The house had q deserted look Tho Sunday paper still lay on the front porch and four bottles of milk stood beside it.
 Upstairs Rannys bed was un- made, and his clothes lay on the floor where he had stepped out of them.
 Sylvia strengthened her room, and cleaned the bathroom.
 When everything was in order she packed mp the babys clothes. and started away from the house, but in the hall she stopped. On the telephone table. partly covered by the phone book, lay an envelope.
 She picked it up. It was q plain cheap one. perfectly blank.
 But inside was a railroad time table.
 She looked at it, blinking with her thick eyelashes as she often did when she was puzzled and confused. She turned it over and over in her hands.
 Now, what in the world is Ran ny doing with that thing" she ask ed aloud, of the empty house. Where is he Eoing?'
 Then another thought came 10 her --''T wonder if he has gone!"
 She rushed back up the stairs Of | the silent house. 10 his bedroom.
