SEES PERIL IN Low
FLIGHTS OVER CITY
Citizens Association Urges
AirpIaneS Use Only Least
CongeSted Areas.

Aroused by the numerous recent air.
plane crashes near dwellings, such as
occurred in Kenilworth two weeks ago
and in Berwyn Heights Sunday, the
Rhode Island Avenue Citizens ASsocia-
ton, meeting in Sherwood Hall Monday
night, urged the adoption of stricter
regulation of fight of aircraft over the
District of Columbia.
The fear that serious accident might
result from forced landing by one of
the many planes now flying daily over
the community was expressed by sew
eral members at meeting some months
ago and resulted in an, investigation by
]. F. McBeth. chairman of the Fire
and Police Committee.
Mr.. McBeth reported last night that
the present regulations require planes
to fly at height of 1000 feet over the
city, but that most planes fly nearer
an elevation of 800 feet. The resolu-
ton offered by him and adopted by the
association, suggests that planes be re-
quired TO fly over the least congested
areas of the District so far as prac-
ticab'e and urges the prescribing of
penalties for violations of such regula-
tons
The Rhode Island avenue group also
voted to solicit the cooperation of the
Federation of Citizens Associations in
obtaining enforcement of the aircraft
fight regulations

No matter how poor you are you
have just as good a chancs to catch a
cold as your richest relative
Nuthing makes you feel hummer
than a cold, but even if you have the
fearsest cold you ever had, you don't
get hardly any sympathy, on account
Of people always seeming funny to
other people when they sneeze even if
there's nuthing funny about them gen.
reilly.
Some people bleeve a sneeze is a sure
sign you are going to get a cold, and
II you axually get one they feel CRATE
and say, See, what did tell you? and
IL you don't axually get one they don't
feel any verse than usual.
Colds are full of germs, so II you
have a cold and haff to sneeze in pub
lie you never awt to aim it at any of
your trends.
Waiting for q sneeze that never
comes Is a CRATE disappointment If its
your own sneeze and a CRATE relief If
its somebody eltses SneeZe that's tawk-
ing to you with their face rite up to
yours.
People with hay fever look as if they
felt hummer than anybody elts in the
werld, especially II they have forgotten
their hankerchiff.
Even the bewtiest looking gerl looks
funny If she has a red nose on account
of a cold, and lot of white powder
on it makes her look still funnier.
No matter how much you hope, a
cold genrelly lasts at leest 3 days.

ONCE HE APPEARED RIDING IN A wHEELBARRow
BY >. p. GLASS.

Lord Brougham, the great lord chan
cellor Of England, made his way to a
foremost place in his coutnrys counsels
by his brains, but it was his wit and
clever eccentricity that won him social
success in day when extravaganza be-
havior was an aid to introduction TO
high society in London.
AS a younk man he was, during one
period, devoted to all kinds OF osten-
tatious luxury. He delighted to give
grand dinners, when, initiating the an
clients, he perfumed his rooms, using so
many rich and heavy odors that the
atmosphere was suffocating. Guests
would unceremoniously thrust up the
windows to get air.
He got safely past this period. which
lasted only about eight months, but
soon embarked on new, follies. He took
to smoking hookahs while taking his
baths.
One night, while intoxicated, he took
to his hot bath and hookah. The result
was that he fell asleep and was nearly
drowned. Some one happened to look
for him and found him with his mouth
just out of the water, which was now
cold.
He gave up this practice at once.
He attracted the most attention by
the highly unusual wagers he made.
He would bet that he would appear at
the race ground-where he knew all So
ciety would see HMM the most
bizarre ways.
Once he appeared riding in wheel
barrow. On another occasion he rode
in q CONN. Still another time he was
borne in a basket on a mans shoulders.
As he won all his bets, he soon found
n IF Int at time
audacity had won him fame and ad-
miration.

fellow member in little society that
kept apparatus for chemical expert
ments, said that Brougham's daring

The woman who find It easier TO
follow written directions for filet
crochet, than to take them directly
from printed pattern, can make her
own directions from the picture if she
will follow the rules given below The
work is extremely simple. Any woman
can do It, Exact rules for taking of
the rose and thistle design pictured
today are also given. It will be noted
that each quarter of this design is
identical, which simplif1es the task, and
It also exemplifies the method OF work
when lines are Identical.
Authorizations should be used for the
words as follows: Spaces are sp.,
blocks, bl.; stitches, ST.; chain, CHI. The
words repeat" and turn" are written
in full. Stars indicate repeats, which
are designated as repeat from to ="
or from to end of row."
To take of directions, start one cor
ner of the pattern and write each
stitch in a horizontal row as given,
either In spaces or blocks. The latter
are printed in solid black. 1t is adj
visable first to number each row in
small figures ut the end or beginning
of each row. Then if an error occurs
in any row you can Immediately go
over that row without having to COM
pute which it is. Always count and
set down at the top of the page the
number of stitches in horizontal row.
Unless the pattern is irregular in its
outside outline each row must have
precisely this number of stitches. They
may be all blocks, all spaces, or a
combination of spaces and blocks.
Start to count every alternate row
from the left to the right. So only will
the design come out correctly. When
q design is inclosed in a border of
blocks finish each row with "ch. 2,
turn" II there is no border, and
spaces are along the edges, write "ch. 8,
turn" These stitches are necessary as
they form the beginning Of stitches in
the coming row.
In order to follow lines quickly, lay
O ruler over the row just counted and
write down the stitches in the next
row. When all rows have been counted
and written down as described, the
pattern can be worked from the written
directions. It is well to keep the print
ed design, as it Is interesting to watch
the design appear as the crocheting
progresses When working directly from
q printed pattern, the stitches blocks
and spaces are crocheted as counted,
instead Of being written down. Many
workers prefer this method, while
others like to have the stitches set
down.
Directions for the rose and thistle
design pictured today can be set down
In a few lines and words. Put a star
after the last written stitch before the
vertical line dividing the horizontal
rows, and write repeat from star to
beginning of row." Do this to each

A Sermon for Today

For the bed Is shorter than that
q man can stretch himself on it, and
the covering narrower than that he can
wrap himself in it''-Isaiah, xxviii.20.
Amusing, but tragic, is the sacred
cartoon drawn by the artist Isaiah of
the ease-loving Ephraimites: THE bed
Is shorter than that a man can stretch
himself on 1t. and the covering too
narrow to wrap himself In"
Today, likewise, many fail in the
quest for comfort, lying on uncomfort-
able beds. There Is the bed Of self
indulgence. Luxurious furnishings and
palatial cars become the emblem of an
ease-loving age. But physical luxury
will not satisfy souls born with spiritual
instincts which reveal kinship with
God.
There is the bed of self-aggrandize-
ment at the expense of others. Isaiah's
caricature f1tted men who crushed the
humble and oppressed the poor. To-day
self-aggrandizers vainly 60 on the same
comfort quest. But q just God mocks
their unholy attempt. The bed is too.
short and the covering too narrow for
peaceful repose.
There is the uncomfortable bed of
f-sufilciency. Money will not buy
everything. Social registers will fail at
the gate of Paradise. Those who ig-

sooner or later ind themselves on
restless couch.
Another of these beds Is self-righteous-
ness. Many would form their own rules
of conduct, making their own standards
of ethics. AS we'll might students be
allowed to make their own multiplied
ton tables. These tables do not admit
of individual framing. Two times two
are four everywhere. Gods rules Of
Righteousness are likewise universal. He
who seeks rest elsewhere than in Gods
righteousness misses his quest by the
diameter Of worlds.
So Of all such beds They fail to
cover all mans needs. The only salts
flying comfort is found in the salvation

work without an anxious. brooding eye
on their mates. Teach them the Joy Of
a good fight, hard struggle, the effort
to do ones best. To do that 1t is nee
essary that child know success. Make
that possible enough Of the time so that
he win not feel inferior to his COM
panions, but do not press him to win
always. Teach MIN that this is not
possible with honor, and honor comes
first.
Teach him to cheer a good play al
ways. When his rival makes q good
shot, gets a high mark succeeds in
taking the honors, let him cheer for the
good work, for the skin. for the other
fellows Joy. All Of us share whatever
Of Joy or failure our fellows meet. II is
better to do so cheerfully.
And never allow anybody to tease a
child so as to call out his jealousy,
Teach him that he counts as he Is. He
is good. or better, or best. in himself.
Jealousy dwarfs the soul of It's victim
and renders him helpless. Put love In
its place and the soul will expand.

experiments blew all the apparatus to
smithereens.
As lord chancellor, Brougham occu-
pied Lord Grey's house in Berkeley
Square. 1t is said that when he gave
up the house, in 1884, when he retired
from the chancellorship, he left it in a
terrible condition. The bed rooms were
filthy, the furniture nearly all ruined,
and in the most unusual places the
most unusual things were found hidden.
For instance, kitchen candlesticks and
black lead for the CRATES were dis
covered in the handsome satin cur
tains of the drawing room.
Lord Grey made demand for dam
ages. Brougham insisted upon arbitra-
ton and after a sum was decided upon,
sent Grey q check Els short OF the
amount.
Grey returned the check and
Brougham then paid In full. But mean
time he had held the house two months
beyond the term of his lease.

But how could she make one that Roger

economical puddings, not he! In read
ing the recipes she discovered she could
add cocoa or melted chocolate to the

That gave her a chocolate pudding
Then she found she could add some

BY carmelizing the sugar she gave

she did this she added little boiling

After pudding was baked she found
