One of them has been carried by ie China Clipper on round trips between San Francisco and Manila. From the curve traced by the instrument, engineers are able to reconstruct every roughness of the voyage and tell what stresses the craft withstood. Gusts are made to order in a new tunnel and model airplanes are catapulted into them. As fast as an arrow is shot from a bow, the tiny plane is accelerated to 50 miles per hour in a few feet of traveL Hit by the gust, its action is recorded by a motion picture camera. The famous N. A. C. A. cowling which streamlined air - cooled engines so effectively several years ago has been improved and adapted to the 1,500 horsepower engines developed in the past few years. There is an adjustable nose slot in the new cowling design so that the pilot can give the engine more cooing air while it is working hardest. Reduces Take-ODistance. Just by reducing the size of rivets m an airplane wing by one thirty-'econ- d of an inch, it is possible o reduce the power necessary by 00 horsepower. This is one result at the experiments on the friction kag on the wings of large modern airplanes. In operating high modern aircraft, the importance of smooth surface in a ing is so great that the N.

She must be emotionally grownup. The infantile girl is likely to have a fear of sex that, unconsciously perhaps, prevents her from desiring or attaining a happy marriage. 3. She must not be suspicious or stand-offis- h by disposition. 4. She must not make the mistake of relying on her diploma to charm desirable potential husbands. When 250 happy, educated married couples were asked what they found most admirable In their respective mates, most of the women stressed intellectual companionability. But the husbands were pleased with something quite different it was the wifes ability to do her job and be equal to the responsibilities of marriage. A girl to be attractive as a wife must appeal to the mans emotion, she must be able to enhance his ego, and she must have domestic competence. If she lacks these assets, she can not offset the deficiency by putting forward a quality that he does not particularly want capacity to satisfy him intellectually. Be Seductive, Alluring. For the woman who possesses these points of marriageability, the importance of the correct technique for winning a mate was stressed by Dr. Popenoe who has many practical hints to offer in this connection. Dont be misled by thinking that you must take the initiative in courtship or proposal, he warns educated women. The role of the female as seductive and alluring rather than aggressive goes back in evolution not only far beyond the human, but far beyond the mammalian stage; it is unlikely that it can be disregarded now, he warns. The woman who is not clever enough to maneuver a man Into a position where he will propose, is probably not clever enough to hold a man after she gets one, he said. Age tells heavily against the college girl. She probably does not graduate until she is twenty-two- . At that age half the women of the United States are already married. Men usually marry younger women; at twenty-five- , a man will marry a girl of twenty-twbut at thirty-fivhe will marry one not of thirty-tw- o but of twenty-eighIf the college girl takes a job for a few years after she graduates, her statistical chances of marriage will vanish.

The windjammer was the bark Albatross, which had just brought a load of corn over from Buenos Aires and was going back to the same port in ballast There it would pick up a load of wheat and return to East London, Cape Colony.

The canal company does nothing that it can get others to do equally well. When hand labor gave way to machine operation, various entrepreneurs were given the work of excavation and the majority of the digging was done by contractors. Part of the west jetty, made up of cement blocks worth $65 apiece, was built by contract. The company had to construct a fresh-wate- r canal and filtering stations in order to carry on its basic work. But it leaves the delivery of the water to others. The personnel has just three things to do: to keep the canal open, to keep the ships passing through, and to keep the records. The maintenance of the canal and its improvements is in the hands of the works department, whose officers are first class graduates from the Ecole Polytechnique and the Ecole Centrale in Paris. Dentistry for Dredges. One never knows how much equipment Is required in the upkeep of a canal until he accompanies a member of the works department through the shops and around the small harbor where the brokentoothed dredges come back to have their dentistry done. It looks as though every disabled or incorrigible piece of wood or metal in that part of the world were dumped about Compared with the works department, the traffic department has a nice clean job. One sees no clutter of papers, no bulky correspondence. The principal officers are recruited from the French navy. There Is, In addition to the watchfulness of captain and pilot an eye on every ship that goes through the canal from the time she is sighted In one sea until she is turned loose to shift for herself in the other. The British post office refused to recognize the canal for two years. Too slow, they said. Yet nothing but an airplane has equalled the speed actually attained between Port Said and Port Tewfik on the canal itself. The traffic department has some little Thornycroft boats which can make the trip In a trifle over two hours and a half. The speed for steamers on the canal Is 6.21 miles an hour, but pilots exceed the limit when side winds prevent the ship from obeying her rudder at a lower speed. The canal Is now 10414 miles long, jetties having added considerably to its length In recent years. Guard Against Blasts. During the transit of the canal two pilots are used, eachmaking f the journey. They serve only in an advisory capacity, though many a captain lets the pilot handle the ship as though it were his own. Officers of the company unhesitatingly sacrifice a single vessel to the common good. A shipload of explosives was sunk near the Port Said waterworks and a cargo of benzine in the Commercial Basin. But ships carrying dangerous cargoes are being removed farther and farther from the main anchorages and as careful a quarantine Is kept against spontaneous combustion as against cholera. Of the towns on the canal, only one existed before De Lesseps began his work. Suez, then a miserable Arab village. Is now a miserable Arab town. A few apartment heuses are rising on squares of land which ere filled In to bring them up to the level of the street The Sweet Water canal brightens things up and Dowers, fruits, and vegetables line Its banks. Clouds and the softer light that comes with them give to nondescript Suez a beauty such as many a greener, lovelier spot would envy.
