Neit Week: "The Story of the
lloal.
Runaway!
"AW, It's ,10 fun to no nhiipplnK,"
complained I'rrddy. "I don't
want to go. I. el mu atny home."
Hut lie hud to no anyway, for al
thouKh hn Was only fourteen, he
could tnko euro of Mu youiurer
brother mid lter while his mother
was in tho atore, ahopplnir. 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. Hero
was danger, ho thought ijuickly
dungrr for his little brother and
aistcr who were m 11,0 uacK seat.
Did ho doro to drivo now, out of
tho way of tho runaway car?
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

Ho waa glad he had had tho

matinee.
The dress with the buttons down
the front is bright red. 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.
Sinco you probably will not havo a
gun, two smudges ouuv nooui, 1111.J

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

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

together, and which is well demon
strated by the hard stickiness of
an icy snowball.

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.
