Briefly the boomerang is so shaped that , the air resists one part of it more than another, so that it has to travel in " -curved path after its speed has slowed1 down below a certain rate. As it travels in a curve it more or less comes back to the place from which it started. start-ed.

Oliver (Wendell Holmes, himself a Bostonian, said in satire that the Bostonians thought the dome of the state house was the centre of the earth, and that Boston therefore must be the Hub.

Mist Brooks, what can a girl do to have friendt like the other girlt and be popular? All the other girls that know here have boy friends and are always going out with them for auto rides and to shows and parties, etc., but it seems I never am asked to go anywhere, and the other girls make fun of me. . They say Dear Miss Brooks: Cant you suggest a name that would be appropriate for a jolly club of girls which we are organizing? We are all young girls, none over eighteen, and are simply out for a good lime ne will tell jokes, play games, mal(t candy, and enjoy ourselves. We thought of "The Aint We Cot Fun Club," but it is most loo long and slangy. Please tell us something appropriate. ap-propriate. THE BUNCH, Payson. I think for a jolly club of girls 'J which you describe, the name "Mine-haha,"meaning, "Mine-haha,"meaning, as you no doubt know, "Laughing Waters," would be very pretty and appropriate. What do you think? tt is because I am too cold and call me a prude, and that if I would warm up a little I could have friends, too; but Miss Brooks, my mother always told me it was not right for a girl h let the boys kiss and hug her because if she did she would always be sorry when the right man came along. ..My mother died a' year ago, and it is so hard to have no one to go to. Father doesn't Hem to understand and I have no sisters. Do please tell me what to do. ALONE. Idaho Falls. My dear little girl, I surely would like to be of help to you because I know just how hard it is for you to see your girl friends enjoying themselves them-selves while you must sit alone for the reason that you want to live up to the dear mother's teachings and not allow the boys to take liberties. There is only one thing you can do, and" that is to continue to be the dear sweet girl I am sure you are, and though you may miss out in these temporary pleasures, one of these days a boy will come along who will appreciate your unspoiled sweetness because his mother will have taught him as yours has taught you that it is worth while not to play at the game of love. You will be like a peach fresh picked from the tree, while these other girls will have all the bloom rubbed off. Be jolly and gay with others, and I am sure you will find before long that there are bovs who aDDreciate the cirl who do not care for hugging parties. Write me again when you feel like it. My Dear Miss Brooks: We have a new arrival in our family fam-ily -the first, and we are so proud. He is the dearest little boy you ever taW, and has dark hair and eyes like his daddy. We just can't think of a name good enough for him. Won't you please tell us a few that you like? A name is something that has to le carried all through life and we want to get something that he will like, too. Thank you so much for your trouble. PERPLEXED, Pocatello. How happy you must be with the new little life to take care of. I don't wonder you want a nice name, and I'm going to tell you the ones that are really my favorites, but of course taites are so different that one cannot tell what will suit some one else. I like them short, don't you? Frank, Carl, Kent, Shirley, Kenneth. Alan, Owen Do you like any of these? And I think the custom of naming a child after the mother's maiden nsmc, if it is appropriate, is a very nice one I hope this may be of help to you, and kiss the darling baby for me.
