SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Drifting.
We are drifting into Summer, where
the honeysuckles bloom,
And the redbird at the fountain drives
away all hint Of gloom.
We are drifting toward the Autumn,
and the pace is not so slow.
Old Earth says. whats your hurry?
Fast enough the year will go"'
We are drifting into Summer, where
the blossoms wait the bees.
Inviting them to buzz and dine and
loiter at their ease.
We've had the Bold Endeavor and the
Sentiment so Strong.
We're due for Lazy Days when we
can simply drift along.

Endorses Praise Given
To Planes Engineers

To the Editor of The Star;
Please let me express to you and
your organization the appreciation or
the Bureau of Aeronautics of your
splendid editorial in The Evening Star
for 10 June. AS rule, the engineers
who give so freely of their efforts DO
not obtain recognition in proportion
to their efforts. 1t is. of course. nat
ural that the spectacular has the
greater appeal to all of us.
Your editorial, 1.-THE Heart OF the
Flame Is such a fine tribute to the
engineers who have contributed their
portion to the advancement of aero.
nautics that it warns the hearts of
all OF us who have been associated
with II. W. A. MOFFETT.

DIFFERENT
METHODS

THERE is a great difference be-
l. tween English children and
American children, chiefly due to
home training, points out Carolyn
Wells in an article in this weeks
Liberty. English children are
not at all like American chill
dren," she says. There is far
more difference between the
youngsters of the two countries
than between the grown-ups.
Not in education, but in mental
attitudes.
1.-THE English child knows things
the American kiddy never dreams
Of" the writer explains, land,
contrariwise, our children have
wisdom that the English chill.
dren never attain.
This is probably due to the
fact that the child of an English
household is made one of the
family when there are no guests,
but is promptly relegated to the
nursery when company arrives;
while the American child is more
in evidence with strangers pres.
ent than without"
