regular intervals. until she promised
to cease her scolding and speak more

Another curious device for keeping
over-busy tongues from wagglng was
known as the Roman. This was a
metal affair which covered the head
and the face in somewhat the same
manner as a combination OF a foot
ball helmet and baseball catcher S
mask would today.
In addition. it had fiat metal

prits mouth. fitting over his own
tongue and effectively preventing
his speaking There was also a
paddock at the back. which kept
him or his friends from removing 1t
before his sentence had been served.
For less serious verbal blasts, a
person might be punished by having
a cleft stick fastened to his tongue
and having TO sit in scorn for several
hours outside the meeting house on
Sunday.
A person who stole small articles
or overcharged his patrons at a store
might be invited to give command

sisting of a sharp-edged seat, some
times reinforced with steel. and SET
of wooden clamps that fltted over
the culprit's ankles. Two or three
hours of this usually left the prls-
oner's legs numb from lack OF circu-
lation.
Crimes against the church were
punished with great vigor during
the early periods of our countrys
history. The favorite machine for
chaatising such crimes was known
as the pillory.
A pillory was a platform with a
wooden frame at the top. This frame
was made up OF TWO poaros VIII
holes cut in them for the wrists and
neck Of the person to be punished
They were hinged to admit the head
and hands, and then clamped down
tight-holding the culprit in a firm
grasp.
To add to the discomfort OF a
pilloried person, the younger inhao-
itants of the colony usually tuned up
their throwing arms by pelting the
victim with rotten egges. tomatoes
and other fragrant bits OF food.
Our slang phrase He'll get his
ears pinned back" may have been
born as a result of the pillory, for
dangerous criminals often had their
ears nailed to the wooden frame
after their heads had been clampeo
securely. In extreme cases. their
ears would be cut off before they
we're allowed to descend from the
platform.
Altogether, the lawbreaker had a
pretty rough time in Colonial days

RESEARCH.

RESEARCH.
In colleges, drafting rooms and
engineering laboratories, the glgan-
tic work of air research is going on
all the time. Scientists, designers,
engineers and test pilots are work
ing on the plane of tomorrow.
Meteoroligists are finding more &C
curate means of forecastlng tne
weather. Technicians are evolVlng
greater safety measures.
At Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio.
a $500. 900 wind tunnel has been
constructed for research. The 40
600 horsepower motor is the largest
of its kind in the world. Two new
establishments for further research
are being constructed. one the $4,-
900 900 aeronautical laboratory at
Sunnvvale. Calf, the other an en-
CINE research laboratory in Cleve-
land. Grants have been given several
technical colleges for research IN all
phases of air work.
In his excellent book. Winged
Warfare" Maj. Gen. H. H. Arnoi',
says: while building the creates
air force the world has yet seer,
Germany maintained the most e.
tensive laboratories and research
| facilities available to any nation.
That accounts for her being able
to bring out new models at frequent
intervals. That accounts for the
fact that she could get of the floor
in 1888 and build superior fighting
planes in unheard-of quantity by
1889"
Whenever boy interested in
aviation decides that he wants to
give up college to enter defense
work. those in executive flying posi-
tions advise the young man to keep
on getting an education. They
know that the greatest work OF de-.
Tending America will, in all proba.

some because of the lack Of a
choice.
A mans heart is always
awakened by love; but the feat
is to get him TO the altar before
it turns over and goes back to
sleep again.
At 16, the average pretty girl
is apt TO fancy that she is

encouraging smile and making
a few simple passes.

keep her waiting in suspense
for an hour or two, she will fall

of jumping on it with reproach.
