He thought aim was Rone an awfully Ion timo at the crocery, but after waiting in tho cur outside the de partment store for half an hour, he decided he had been wtoiik and that that hud been only n tliort time. Then something happened which dispelled every bit of the morning's monotony and made I'rcddio a hero in tho eyes of the whole town. And this is how it happened: Ho heard a commotion down the street, and looking idly in that di rection, saw an automobile zigzag ging rrnzily along, about a hulf a block away, and coming in his di rection. The driver had evidently lost partial control of the wheel for tho car rude dizzily first one way and then onothcr in the desert ed street. 1'Veddy could sec plainly tho danger they would be in if tho car did not strike before it reached them. He ant In the drivers seat, his hand on tho wheel, but he had never driven before. Still, he knew exactly how to start, just how to shovo down tho clutch nnd shift tho gears ho hnd watched his father do it a hundred times.

Without pnuslnpr an instant while all these thoughts raced througn nia iicnu, no steppeo 0,1 me starter and tho engine began to purr. Then in w ith the clutch nnd tho first shift and the car was starting. Would he know how to steer? But ho did, it seemed, for tho car turned out into the street, picking up speed quickly as he stopped on tho gns. Now he dared to look up Into tho llttlo mirror at tho top of tho windshield. There ho saw tho runaway car crashed Into a telephono polo right at the placo whero his car hnd been a few momenta before. Ho waa glad he had had tho nerve to try.

Leave the strip down the front plain white, also the littlo yoke which extends all the way down the sleeves, and color the buttons red. This is one of Mary Elizabeth's everyday dresses. Her other everyday dress is at the upper right. It is a dark brown trimmed with tan, and the inverted pleats in the front are of tan also. The drrss on the lower left is for parties. If Mary Elizabeth is to bo invied to any theatre parties she will wtr it, also it wil be nice to wear t the school entertain ment. It if of blue velveteen with tan button" and tan trimming. She is planning to save the other dress and coat -intil Christmas day, when she wh vear them for the firV. time. Th dress is of very pale pink silk rnth dainty black velvet scallops. It looks very nicfe on Mary Elizabeth because' she has dark eyes and hah. The coat is of blue velvet with ermine collar and muff, and hat to match. The gloves and leggings are white, too. When Mary Elizabeth and her mother picked' out these holiday clothes, they were very careful to get the newest styles for little iru-ls. ' And isn't it a Dretty outfit ? When you cut out Mary Elizabeth herself, color her slip a pale pink and leave her half socks plain white or color them tan. You and Mary Elizabeth should have lots of fun together during the Christ mas holidays. Buffalo Hunters Signalled With Guns In the days when most of the west was just a wild, unsettled region, tho old buffalo hunters had signals with their guns. Two shots in rrtmH Riiccession at intervals of about five seconds meant "Am in trouble." A huntor, hearing tnis, would answer with two more shots, which was the same as saying, Hero I am. What do you want 1 If tho person merely wanted to know directions, ho would answer with a single shot, which meant, "Only wanted directions. 1 nanus. An nncu-er of two shots meant, I am in serious trouble. Come at once." , These signals arc still wen Known and used by woodsmen, so that if m-nii nrp ever lost in tho woods you will find them to your advantage.

It is the one thing you cr.n never get J(?o niucn pi. whnt a glacier is a river of These crystal rivers are formed from melting snow hijjh in the mountains which, movinf down ward, collects into Ir.rsci' cud lr.r er lumps of ice. It is constantly breaking and remolding which ac counts for the peculiar shapes of icebergs and glaciers. A man nnmed Hugi built his hut on a gla cier in the Alps in order to learn how fast it was moving. He found that the moat rapid movement was thirty inches a day, besidos prob nbly finding that it -was just a lit tle cold for light housekeeping. One glncier moved a milo in six years. Eor a long timo peoplo tried to figure out why glaciers moved, sinco they did not seem to be melt ing. At last Tyndall came forward with logical proof that glaciers moved, not because of weight or melting, but because thousands of tiny cracks are continually trying to close up. This is because of n nnfnrnl tpndenev ico has to stick together, and which is well demon strated by the hard stickiness of an icy snowball. A long time ago, in the glacial aire, almost all North America was covered by an enormous glacier which wore down tho mountnins of this country and left new gorges and valleys.

Great Future of Airplanes Demonstrated BY TERENCE VINCENT Director of Miniature Aircraft Fliers, Chicago. Girls and boys of todav will be flying commonly when they are men and women. Tho wonderful exhibition of air planes on Long Island recently made many young people dream long dreams. While their parents would not.ever think of flying, the boys and girls eagerly wanted to fly- iou may remember how some of your grandparents did not want to ride in an automobile. Your great-grandparents may have hesi tated to ride in steam railroad trains. But each generation of folks goes a little faster than tho previous generation. I'lve Miles a Minute At this Long Island aerial ex hibition there were three tiny lit tle airplanes 22 feet wide, each capable of flying 300 miles an hour! One clear-eyed pilot said he felt like going S00 miles an hour, tho sensation was so wonderful. The contest list included one for boys. It was for duration for air planes powered with rubber-band motors. It seems child-like at first, and it is; but it is also very useful to aviation. , One boy who made rubber motored planes in 1012 is now one of Uncle Sam's best pilots at night on the air mail service. His 'name is Art Smith, well known to many of your parents who saw him do dare-devil stunts at the San Fran cisco Exposition in 1916. Commercial Airplanes So while you are dreaming of the wonders of flight, you might also begin to think about making a fly ing machine yourself. In the mean time airplanes are more and more common. Numeroas new air mail contracts have been let, to start in the spring of 192G going to Dal las, Texas; Pasco, Washington; Los Angeles and Seattle, New York to Boston, and many other places. ' ' One biplane on Long Island, with two motors each of 600 horsepower, actually contained a real automo bile put in side ways that is, the automobile .was apparently ready to run in the direction of the wings, from tip to tip. Yet there is room also in this largest of all commer cial planes for more than a doze", persons. If the automobile were removed, a dancing platform could De installed tor a score 01 people to dance to radio music while in flight. 'Safety First and Always One monoplane, which has three motors, carries a dozen persons on , frequent flights.' It uses all three motors to get into the air. Then it oan fly with one motor, with two motors, or it can go a very long , distance with all' three motors si lent, as it glides. .- Should this monoplane come down into the deep water, for any reason, the passengers cap simply climb through the safety exit on to the roof that is, on to the top of the monoplane, and there sit and wait for assistance to arrive. It would ; float with a dozen' persons sitting on ton of its huge wing. Flivver flanea for iou Equally interesting to the boy tourists of this Long Island exhibit were the very tiny, man-carrying planes, with ordinary motor-cycle motors. Several of them were monoplanes with wing on top, while others had the wing on the bottom, or right through the pilot's pit, it would seem. There was just one little biplane of this type, made hy a professor 01 aeronautics in a great university. . These planes weigh about 300 pounds each, and carry almost as much more in usctul load. That is, the pilot, the fuel and perhaps a passenger could weigh 300 pounds more. ' You can see that the pilot and passenger necessarily should be boys, or very light men or girls or ladies. The cost of these planes is very low. Any high school lad, with aero nautic training, could make and fly one, and havo more fun than any other boy in his neighborhood. One French boy was a good pilot at the age of 12. Several Amer ican boys I know have learned to fly at the age of 16, but they hod good aeronautic training in their younger days. MR.
