you and your sister it meant only
a tactful cooperation with what
pleased them. And in these cases,
I'm all for following the line Of

And after all, these people have
the best of precedents for their
ruling-for at royal weddings the
names of the givers Of wedding
gifts are left on the gifts, for all
to see!
But generally speaking. I agree
with you that it is better taste

My sister was married in a
small town last winter and Of
course we wanted things to be as
they should be. But all the peo-
pie in this small town, who think
they are ThePeople-of-the-Town,
bring their gifts with their calling
cards and have them put very
promptly in front on top of the
gifts.
Il think it is just to show off,
and in bad taste, and wanted my
sister to remove the cards, but
they all insisted that it was the
custom at all the nice weddings,
so, of course, we did what every
one else did-much against my
wishes.
please tell me if they are right?
I suggested that my sister buy a
small book and as the gifts come
in put down the names of the
givers and the gifts, so there
would not be any mixups regard
ing the gifts. READER"
First let me say that no matter
what you or I think about the
taste of showing the cards on the
gifts, you and your sister did the
right thing to abide by the
custom -the-country. when in

Questions From Readers

E. D.: rs there any permanent
cure fer stomach ulcers? Il some
times go for several weeks or
longer and have no trouble with
my stomach. Then I grow care
less, eat everything, and again the
trouble developsD May I eat
cooked vegetables like cabbage, to-
matoes, beans, ETC.? Are cooked
fruits allowed? Any raw fruits or
raw vegetables? Any sweets or des-
serts? Bread? Meat?"
Answer: Most people have the
same experience that you have.
The symptoms of ulcer of the
stomach are notoriously likely to
become quiescent and then to re-
cur. A diet, however, should be
strictly adhered to for year or
more. under which circumstances
the ulcer, in most instances, heals.
Well cooked vegetables are all al
lowed. Tomatoes, however, usually
DO not agree with ulcer patients.
Cooked fruits are also allowed.
Raw fruits or vegetables usually
cause discomfort. Sweet desserts
are forbidden because they usually
cause pain. The same is true of
bread. Bread should be taken
stale or toasted. Meat is allowed
and Is always comforting to the
ulcer patient. A glass Of half milk
and half cream is also very good

unWise to eat any particular type
or quantity of food? They

days without treatment"
Answers: Ulcers inside the
mouth may occur from a number
of different conditions, such as
scurvy or blood diseases, but the
simple type which you describe,
which clear up so readily, prob
ably are ordinary canker sores.
I wish knew what the cause is.
But so far as I know the medical
profession is ignorant on this
subject. I do not believe it does
any harm to eat any kind of food,
nor do I know of any method OF
prevention.

YESTERDAY we went into the
l. subject OF wind-socks rather
thoroughly. But, if you re-
member, 1 said there was another
angle about these aeronautical de-
vices that might be interesting
Here it is: Only one-half of the
fabric which goes to make up the
cone is supported on rigid frame
the rest is left to find its own
place. And it is from the atti-
tude of the last half that we learn
the strength and force of the wind
If the wind is light. the trailing
half will lie idly dropping but
as the winds speed increases the
dropping end will billow with air
and follow the tapering shape set
for it by the framework at the large
end.
The wind-sock probably is the
least expensive bit of equipment at
an airport and yet it is the
most important. 1t is only a detail
IN the aviation setup, but it points
the way to safety for airmen. And
you know, there's moral in that
thought. Life, with all its COM
plications, is merely mass of tiny
details. There are only three i'm
portant things in life and We
have little or no control over any
Of them.
We are born-and we have moth
ing to say about that: we are mar
ried (and if we are men We have
just a little to say about that
and won't that bring comments from
the ladiesD and lastly, we die-and
of course we have nothing to say
about when or how. All the rest
of life is made up of tiny details
little wind-socks which point out the
way we must fly to success and hap
piness.
Little things-such as details-are
only little when We look at them in
a complete picture. But become
nightly important when we exam
inc them singly and understand
their relation to the whole picture
The little wind-sock only costs a few
dollars . but it safely guides the

HANGAR GANG
is SPONSOR OF
NOVEL CONTEST
Aerial Target Practice to
Feature Last Outdoor
Model Event.

Members Of the Charles MEYERS
Hanga Gang Club under the direc-
ton Of John Clemens and Robert
Shank today are making arrange
ments for what will probably be the
last outdoor model flying contest of
the year. 1t is to be held at the
Hoosier Airport, Sunday, Nov. "a.
The contest will feature a unique
event to be known as balloon bust
ing" An ordinary toy balloon is
moored about 20 feet above the
ground. Models are fitted with long
pins projecting from the wings and
the nose.
BY launching the planes from the
ground the contestant attempts to
break the balloon. That it will take
a carefully constructed we'll bal
anced craft and no end of flying
skill to be at all successful, almost
goes without saying.
Clemens said that more interest
has already been shown in antici-
patton of this event than has ever
been manifested for any local inter
wing flying contest.
obviously it is no event for novice
flierS, in fact veteran junior aviators
foreSee an unusually thorough test
Of their skill.
Roscoe Judd, one of EN- Roe's
more experienced model filters, has
turned designer.
His plans for a convertible stick
model have been submitted to q
widely read model plane magazine
and its acceptance is practically as
Sured, Roscoe believes.
Judd also has been working on
a gas job to be entered in The
Times exposition.
Rodney Ellis, also from Em-Roe
Club, is constructing plane that
promises to attract attention at the
exposition. 1t is to be a scale model
of Benny Towards Mr. Mulligan."
The standard kit design was fol-
lowed, but in addition, Ellis has
added scale models of all the con-
trolls on this particular ship.
Harry Myers, Em-ROe Club direc-
tor, stated that Ellis model is to
be displayed at the exposition in
glass case.
Raymond Scott is completing a
seVen-foot model of a Curtis-Robin
to be powered with the new Imp
dry-ice carbide motor.
Robert Romeiser, first place win
ner in the Junior division State Fair

yet passed his twelfth birthday, has
come to light as one of the most
productive young plane builders in
