from the boy who shouted his news

but Christmas Eve found her alone.
She left the Office early. There was
no particular reason to, however. All
her gifts were tied up and mailed. No

There wasn't the slightest pressure or
hurry about anything. And Christmas
Eve, thought Sally, without hustle and
fuss and jOstling and merry confusion,
wasn't Christmas Eve at all.
She walked up Fifth avenue. She
vaguely hoped that some Of the holi-
day spirit Of the crowds OF New York
might enter her veins and thrill her
heart. She felt sorry for herself, and
cross, and utterly out Of sorts. Her
pleasant plans had all gone awry. No
one could spare time from their fami-
lies to celebrate with her. And Sally
lived too many thousand miles away
from home to get there for Christmas.
She had been too proud to accept the
generous invitations Of some Of the
other girls in the Office. They asked

The most interesting thing about
this title is that nearly every reader
viii say almost instinctively "air-
plane"
That ought to settle the question
Of the airplane's Importance; but if it
did there would be few fat writers IN
the world, because it is the writer's
job, if he wishes to eat, to be able TO
adOrn and emphasize what is known,
as well as to reveal what is unknown.
In this instance the important
thing is that young men about to en-
ter business do not realize the extra
ordinary and surprising character'iOf
the opportunity that lies before them,
Just as their fathers stood idly by,
with their. hands in their pockets,
watching electricity when it first il
Eliminated the world, and autos when
they robbed the carriage Of its COM
mercial value, and telephones when
they began to bridge the distances
that had separated men, so the ma
jOrity of our young men are today

It is to have three motors so ar

them can be operated separately.

failure of one of them, two can dc
the work of three, and if the opera

without stopping for repairs, and one
of these goes dead, the remaining
motor can bring the monorch of the

BUILD PARKING SPACE
Detroit Bank to Erect 1S-StOry Garage to Provide Space For Motor Cars in City.

Detroit, Dec. 15 P-An 1s-story garage building will be erected by the First National bank here to pro- vide parking space and other ac- commodations for patrons cars. ac- cording to an announcement of the institution.
 The garage which will accommo- date 700 cars, will be erected on a space next to the bank building and construction will be started within a few months. The plans call for a bridge connecting the two buildings at all floors over an alley separat- ing the properties so that patrons may pass into the bank after leaving their cars.
 The garage will be primarily for use of bank customers and tenants of the bank building. who will pay a small storage charge, according to the announcement.
 The need of such building sug- gested itself by reason of the con- gestion of traffic in the business sec- ton. officials said.
