Two Glider Books Appear.

Two Washingtonians have just come

The first is by Lieut.. Ralph S. Bar

first American licensed glider pilot.
Barnaby discusses the history of gliding
and offers suggestions as to selection of
gliders and location of the scene for
glider flying. He describes training in
glider operation step by step, illustrat-
ing the text with sketches and drawings
made by himself. The book is said to
be a progressive and thorough course
Of flight training for the three stages of
glider flying.
The second, by Capt. Arthur LaRoe,

is in the nature Of an elementary course

will when they begin to grow up. She
recognizes one or two of the pilots and
mechanics as boon companions and with
them she will play like kitten, but she
is becoming little snappish toward
strangers.
The other day one of her buddies
walked into the hangar and saw no cub,
but only the broken chain to which she
is usually tethered. While he was stand
ing there he heard soft thudding be-
hind him, and before he could move
went down like a falling tree with his
own weight of cub all over him. The
cub purred delightedly, rubbed her sides
on him and licked his face and neck.
When he strove to catch her she raced
away like kitten, tail in the air. stop

like an idiot, all set for big frolic
One of the pilots, a dog fancier,
brought in puppy named Murphy and

scale, and made a lusty pass at the
puppy. Murphy lodged, but not soon

Idea Worked!

Wise mothers find the things that
keep children contented, we'll, happy.
Most Of them have found they can
depend on one thing to restore
youngsters good nature when he's
cross, fretful, upset.
The experience Of Mrs. VIM.
Charleston, 9O3 Gilmore Ave-, Kan
sas City, Kans., is typical. She says:
II have used California Fig Syrup
with Annie and Billy all their lives.
Whenever they're constipated or
bilious it has them comfortable,
happy, in jiffy. Their wonderful
condition proves my idea works."
Physicians endorse the use Of pure
vegetable California Fig Syrup when
bad breath, coated tongue, dullness,
feverishness, listlessness, ETC., show
a child's bowels need help. Weak
stomach and bowels are toned by
it,; child's appetite and digestion
are improved.
The genuine always bears the name
