WE HAVE WITH US LITTLE WILLIE
Good Evening.

Little Willie, aged only six, Was up, believe me- to many tricks. He removed the bung from his dads beer keg, He tripped up his mother, who broke her leg. He released the brake on his fathers car And made the corner just in par. He took the radio all apart And nearly broke the family's heart When his mother scolded him for just few Of his innocent crimes, quoth he, "sez you" He turned down his spinach with yell, Howled "what, no cake, what t hell! Yes, Willie was up to tricks quite wild But luckily was his parents only child.

AIRPLANE DESIGN
 BOOK ON MARKET
Catholic University Lec- turer Publishes 'Princi-
 ples of Odynanlics"
Especial to the Democrat)

Washington, D. C., Jan 10.-A new book, "The Principles of Aero dynamics," by Dr Max M. Munk lecturer in Aerodynamics at the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C., and noted authority upon aerodynamics, has recently appeared on the market as a popular guide for those airplane designers who are interested in the physical and practical end of aero dynamics, but not in it's actual mathematics.
 Dr, Munk is well qualified to write such 8 book, for he was called to this country from Ger many after the World war on the initiative of a prominent American navy officer to introduce here the modern aerodynamic science. He directed the construction of the national aerodynamic research equipment at Langley field, Vir- |ginia which includes one of his own inventions, a compressed air wind tunnel, one of the first ones in the country, and the only one for a time, giving satisfactory, errorless results.
 At the Catholic University. pr Munk is actively engaged in the Aeronautical Engii1.reing depart ment as lecturer and director of experiments together with Profess sor Louis IT. Crook, also e we'll known figure in this field. In the basement of the Martin Maloncy laboratory on the campus they have constructed small windtun- nei, three feet wide driven by q 12 horsepower electric motor, es- pecialIy designed to determine pre- cisely the facts of air resistance and how to decrease 1t, or min- imise It's effects. This department has, as It's particular aim, the de- termination of new facts in the field of aerodynamics and is nov conducting experiments te this end with the aid Of unique and novel laboratory conditions constructed hy and under the direction Of these two pEenainent men in the nadls

 The newly made lawn at forty two had responded as Fall lawns do with abiding faith in the false
 promise of the sun. Constance stopped from the winding, brok- en flagstone walk to caress its soft texture. It grew like baby hair
 irregular and fuzzy-looking, and almost as soft, she thought. Her
 stone and shingle house, it's slated blue door flanked by low spread ing evergreens that joined the baby lawn. It was plainly Rods house = modest, ivable, attractive; built, Connie felt sure, without fi- nancial assistance from the Harper family. About to rise, she glimpsed a four-leaf clover nestled between the flagstones, fresh and perky as the painted red rain barrel under the low caves. Connie laughed
 softly. This ought to cheer Rod,
 she thought, putting it gently into
 her bag.
