Government Interested in Seeing

Many phases of governmental
activity are never called to public

The government is not only en-

small passenger plane, but is also
attempting to bring the sales price
of such ship within the reach of
the average man. With this
thought in mind, all kinds of tests
are being conducted. Recently the
government commissioned Casey
Jones, who heads a nationally
known flying school at Newark,
New Jersey, to make a series of
tests on an ordinary automobile
motor with the idea that it might
be adapted to airplanes In these
tests the stock automobile motor
was connected to a propeller and
tested for some three hundred
hours. First it was tested on an
extra priced automobile gasoline.
but the motor son became SO hot
that use of this gasoline had to be
discontinued. Next it was oper-
ated on an expensive type of avia-
ton grade gasoline and functioned
perfectly. Finally the test was
completed by using Blue Sunoco
Motor Fuel which sells at regular
gas price and it was soon found
that Blue Sunoco delivered as
much power and ran the motor as
cool as the aviation grade gas.
This is exactly the same Blue Sun
oco that you buy from any dealer:
In fact, the Blue Sunoco in cues
ton was obtained from a local SER
vice station right in Newark"

In Praise of IdleneSs

Nothing matters anymore! 1 sail
smoothly along on sea of mon
otony: hard desks; glaring black
boards holding for me sharp white
commands; rebukes from unsym-
pathetic teachers. All the while
inside of me there's a yearning,
burning desire to be far from this
incomplete hum-drum existence,
called life.
To escape, my mind turns back
to summer, when 1 was free to do
as 1 pleased. If 1 wished, could
go down to the beach and, llying
sprinkling warmth over my body,
watch the clouds glide across the
sky on their journey to nowhere.
Or could watch the ocean, which
is so much like a human in its de-
sire to get higher and higher, al
ways succeeding a bit and being
pulled back by some mighty force.
My eyes, busy watching, conceal
what goes on within my brain, for
while I watch, my mind is free to
think and think and think

If the beach is not within reach,

Cultivation of the Voice

Few Of US realize how necessary
it is for US to cultivate our voices.
It is really most important to have
a pleasing tone. First Of all we
should learn how to speak distinct
ly and correctly in a sofe way. we
must train ourselves to make quiet
yet distinct speeches which will be
far more emphatic and final than
the loud or the harsh. A loud
monotone is certainly very dis
pleasing to listen to nor is a sing
ing with that see-saw rythm So
often heard when reciting poems.
interesting. Therefore, we should
cultivate a very pleasant voice
which will lend itself to authority
rather than to meekness.

There are already many signs of

Jack Frost came to visit us last
night and left large white tracks

they looked like snow this morn

The weather was at a degree of
temperature that made a very thin
sheet of ice on trough of water

The leaves of trees are beginning

How / Spend a Rainy Day

Rainy days are most disagree
able, especially to anyone who
does not like to be shut up in the
house. Personally, enjoy rainy
day once in a while, if it is a day
on which school isn't held and I
can stay home and do as I please.
When I awake in the morning
and hear the rain pitter-patter on
the roof or against the window,
nothing is more tempting than to
snuggle under the covers and 60 to
sleep again. If nothing disturbs
me, anyone can locate me in bed
until around noon. / usually man
age to get downstairs in time to
eat dinner but not before. After
dinner l turn on the radio and tune
in good popular orchestra or a
play and knit. If a good book is
available, I may read for awhile;
but / much prefer to knit or play
cards if anyone is in the mood to
play with me then.
After supper, I start knitting
Mother appears and feels like a
hand Of cards; SO the four of us
play for awhile after which they
retire. I return to my knitting
until / begin to feel sleepy which
isn't any too early, as Daddy says,
II sleep all day, and stay up all
night" even at that, a rainy day
is very restful to me.

Beauty"

You have often heard the state
ment Beauty is only skin deep"
I'm very much inclined to believe
this statement. Beauty is some
thing everybody can have.
Beauty does not necessarily
mean physical attraction. It also
means beauty of the mind. A per
son can have an extremely beauti-
ful face but an unclean mind that
will always destroy her beauty.
Cleanliness and neatness are es-
sentials in beauty at all times. A
healthy, clean face is appreciated
more than the face that is smeared
with cosmetics.
A loud, boisterous person is
never appreciated and her attrac-
tveness is utterly spoiled.
A ready smile, pleasing person
aiity, the knack of intelligent con-
versation are all very necessary to
beauty.
All these things are very hard
to find in one person but it will do
no one any harm to try to develop
them.
