ENGINEERING-At present, the
building Of airplanes is at peak
never before reached. The cry for
good aeronautical engineers for re-
search and testing is falling on the
ears of every one in aviation. And it
IS being answered only feebly by girls.
The reason is not hard to find.
Aeronautical engineering requires ex-
pensive special training, and like pilot
ing, has been considered mans field.
There are few women engineers. Most
girls in the mechanical side OF avia-
ton prefer decorating interiors Of air.
craft, working in factories sewing air
plane or parachute fabrics. and so on.
A shortage Of engineers provides a
golden opportunity for the girl with
a mathematical mind. Over draft
ing board and in wind tunnel, she
can give free rein to her imagination,
planning the aircraft Of the future.

 You're not keeping anything back from me, Hon?"
 There's nothing to keep back. Lucille's going to wear the dress at some charity affair down on the Island. Maybe you'll see her wear ing it. I think Mrs. Earles has something to do with this affair whatever it is."
 That doesn't mean I'll be there, Gail. If Lucille's on deck you can bet I'll have another date-even if it's only to smoke on the Terrace. Lucille's nothing but blot on the sun so far as I'm concerned"
 Gail laughed, but at 8 day not SO far distant she was to think of Dicks words and find a ray of comfort in them, even though she wondered if he still meant them.
 Laughing and chatting they drove along, through struggling villages, past prosperous develop ments and then between tree-bor- dered estates, catching glimpse here and there of velvety lawns and chimney tops of magnificent homes.
 "Oh, this is lovely!" sighed Gail, sitting forward and resting her eyes on the young green leaves and blossoming shrubs.

 'Yes," she answered, "but come in. I'm only going away for the weekend, so I'm not taking much. If you don't mind I'll finish my packing"
 ''Of course not. Is there anything I can do to help?'
 "No, thanks" Gail tossed some sheer hose into the case.
 How lucky you are to get away from New York, now that the weather's so nice! Visiting friends?"
 "Yes, I'm going to Long Island. You surely don't think I'd be going down to the shore all by myself"

I'm America the free flow of news
