DEBUTANTE DAYS

DEBUTANTE DAYS
Dinner and dance, luncheon and tea,
Never moment a girl can cali free;
Flirting and chatter1ng, head in a wtiri,
This is the life Of q slip Of 0 girl
Gadd1ng about, contract and skates,
Clever bookkeeping, maneuvering dates;
Parties and balls movies and plays,
Br1m up each hour Of debutante'S days.
Snatch1ng an instant, just now and again
Out Of the hours crammed with music and men
Stealing away where the soft night winds Groom,
Sensing the messages of stars and Of moon;
Debutante days are all flowers and rhyme,
Yet the girl muses., apart, for time
Like any rustic, shy lass in field
Tearing up daisies, that love be revealed;
Questioning life aA It's puzzles and scheAaes.

While shopping several days

stores I noticed how tired and
worn the clerks looked and I
thought that II some one with
the power possessed by your
paper for doing good deeds
would get back Of it it could
be put across and would bene-
fit a large army of faithful
workers. Here Is the idea:
Inaugurate a plan for clos
ing the stores early Christmas
Eve, say 2 o'clock, which would
give the clerks time to rest and
prepare for the holiday, in
stead of staying in bed all Of
the next day resting up, while
the rest of us are enjoying our
selves. I am sure the Washing
ton public would adjust their
shopping to this plan which
would be greatly appreciated
by these obliging workers and
rebound to the credit Of our
merchants.

In today's lesson, we take up
the study of the various move
ments of an aircraft in flight.
Often the average reader comes
across aircraft language that is
confusing. This frequently is due
to lack Of clear understanding Of
the different axes about which
aircraft move.
In the accompanying diagram,
you will notice three axes, in
dicating that the airplane is
capable of movement in three
dimensions.
The longitudinal axis, Xxx.
about which the lateral move
ment (bankingl takes place,
passes directly through the fuse
lage of the airplane.
The vertical axis, ZZ', about
which the yaWing movement
fright or lefD takes place, passes
directly through the center of
gravity Of the plane or craft.
he 1dLeTdl axis, dpOllL
which the pitching movement
CUP or down takes place, passes
through the wings of the airplane
from tip to tip.
Movement about the Xxx axis
is produced when the control
stick is moved to the right or to
the left
Movement about the ZZ' axis is
produced when the rudder bar is
operated by the pilot by pushing
either right or left foot forward.
