ADMIRATION'HOT CaLLZC FOR Avfator Would Very Willingly Have Foregone Gushing Tribute Paid Him by Fair Admirer. The hardest part of flying is land ing. and it is in landing that most would-be aviators come to grief. An experienced pilot who makes a ban. landing and goes bouncing across a field is disgraced and usually fr-els the humiliation to the utmost. Early in the war a "ladies' day" was held at an airdrome in England. Among the guests who thronged the field were many ladies in gala attire. Late in the afternoon a pilot who was a captain gave an exhibition perform ance. He left the ground in perfect Style, did a succession of vertical turns and a few "acrobatics," then shut off his motor to land and receive the applause that he knew was await ing hiin from the fair sex. As the machine neared the ground the captain misjudged his distance, with the result that he hit the ground hard, made a series of high jumps all the way across the field, and came at last to rest just in time to avoid crash ing into a fence. • He turned his ma chine. "taxied" to the hangar and some what sheepishly rejoined the guests. His fellow pilots were having a hard time to restrain themselves from laughter, and just as it appeared that they had succeeded a fat, gush ing sort of woman approached the cap tain and said in accents loud and clear: "My dear captain, on behalf of the ladies present I wish to thank you for the wonderful exhibition of flying you have given us. It was truly marvel ous. It was positively a beauiiful thing to see: and that landing of yours —it was superb ! Just like a dear little bird—hop. hop, hop. hop!"— Youth's Companion. FU-.CE CHILDREN ABOVE ALL Little Ones Have Been Aptly Described as Monarchs in Homes of Serbian Parents. The tragedy of the little children of Serbia reduced to starvation, disease and raggedness is really understood only when one comprehends the in tense love of home and children that fills all Serbian hearts. 'The Serbian home is the sanctum of Serbian life," writes Wagoner, "the shrine before which the Serbian heart worships, the altar upon which the products of hand and heart are placed in simple, tribute. And the guiding spirit of the home is, of course*, the woman* the wife and mother. We must go farther, though, and say that while the mother may be the guiding spirit, the monarch of the home is the child. What we are preaching with re newed intensity today regarding the importance of the child, the education of the child, Serbia has long preached and endeavored to practice. Almost Spartan in its creed is the valuation placed upon a child life. The child is more than a companion to his mother, more than an heir to liis father's busi ness, lai/ds or wealth ; he is the proper ty of the state. He is part of Serbia ! Everything is sacrificed to the welfare and advancement of the child." A Hoosier Haircut. Demas Coe, a liichiuond business man and former audito# of Wayne county, has been ttying to figure the difference of an Indiana and a Chicago haircut. He told the story after a busi ness trip to Chicago and says he no long'% enjoys going to a barber shop in Chicago. Previously to making the trip, Coe went into a Richmond shop and had a shave and haircut by a barber regard ed as expert as any in Richmond. After arriving in Chicago he went to a bar ber for his shave the next day. "Don't you want a haircut, too?" asked the barber. "I just got one the other day," Coe replied. "In Indiana?" politely asked the bar ber. "Yes, why?" was Coe's answer. "Well, it lnoks like an Indiana hair cut," was the barber's comment. According to Coe's own story he was "considerably wrought up" by the in cident aw he is a loyal resident of In diana. When he told the story to his barber in Richmond, the bawher was considerably more indignant than —lndianapolis News. Educating Greek Farmers. American scientific agriculturists are now completing a survey of the. soil possibilities -of Crete in the same thorough fashion in which they sur veyed the Greek mainland. American farming machinery and up-to-diite ; methods are needed", and arrangements , have been made to educate the farmers I of Greece and Crete so that they can i increase their yield of crops. Major » C. G. Hopkins of the Illinois agricul ture 1 department, and Lieut. G. J. Bou- j youeos, a native Greek educated in j America, and a former instructor at | Michigan agricultural college, are in ! charge of the American Red Cross ag- | ricultural survey of Greece and Crete, j "It Oozes Oot." Even in statistic, as <lry as a Grad grind would have them, there is hu mor. "It oozes oot," as Tammas Hag g;irt would say. Austen Chamberlain, in his official capacity a» chancellor of the exchequer, recently presented to the members of the British parlia ment a budget packed with enough fig ures to baffle an . accountant of the first water.

BOOK LOVERS IN TRANSPORT Expect Literary Treasures to Be Un earthed From the Volumes Stored at Constantinople. Some of the books of Livy undoubt edly will be found among the great number of volumes ascertained to be stored in crypts under the public build ings of Constantinople, but will the lost books of Livy be found? The report that the long-awaited dis covery is about to be made may rest on no better foundation than the vague impression of some uneducated Turkish under official. And. indeed, in the absence of any information what ever, on the subject, what more natu ral conjecture than that the lost his torical works will be restored to the world when the vast collection of an cient books whose existence was pre viously unsuspected come to be ex amined? Of the 35 books of Livy preserved to us out of 142, two are incomplete. Of the other 107 books the summaries remain, so that their contents are known. Their full text probably would not add so much to the sum of knowl edge, but their recovery has been the dream of classicists for centuries. The occasional discovery of even a frag ment in the Vatican or other libraries has been a sensation for scholars. These tons and tons of books, which ft was supposed the Turks burned dur ing their conquests, but which, it ap pears. they took back to their capital, may increase stores of learning and make more definite our knowledge of particular men and particular periods. It is agreeable to think that forgot ten authors of great ljierit and for gotten works of undisputed value will gain new recognition. If the missing works of the Roman historian are among the volumes fur ther cause will be given for congratu lation over the Turkish downfall. —St. Louis Post Dispatch. MAKE TROUBLE FOR DENTIST 0 Successful Treatment of Wisdom Teeth Always Is More or Less of a Problem. Wisdom teeth, especially lower ones, are much more difficult to handle than any of the others in the mouth. When their nerve dies or has to be killed by the dentist he cannot be sure for some time that it is really dead. The reason is that the roots of a wisdom tooth are twisted or curved in such a 1 manner that the root canal cannot be explored. The upper wisdom teeth have three roots, "frequently fused together, j forming a grooved cone, which is usu ally curved backward," says Gray's an atomy. "The roots of the lower, two in number, are compressed together and curve backward." It is this backward curving of the ! compressed roots that gives trouble to j the dentist. Often the canal that ! runs through each root is so narrow ! and so curved that the finest of the' "brooches" used to draw out the dead nerve will not penetrate, and some times when it has penetrated it will not come out. When this happens there is only one thing to do —leave the brooch and ap ply iodine, which will very soon eat away the steel of which the brooch is made. Las Vegas Has Future. Las Vegas was founded by some Mex icans when New Mexico was a part of old Mexico, in 1835, and the Mexican government granted to the new com munity an area of some 400,000 acres. The Mexicans took up what they need ed of this land and built a village in the middle of the settlements It remained r sleepy Mexican town uhtil some time in the seventies, when it was struck simultaneously by several Yankees and Jews, and by a wave of prosperity. The Mexicans, who had been squat ting on a part of the community grant, showed that they were capable of learn ing modern business methods by claim ing the whole 400,000 acres. After a long contest the courts confirmed them . in their titles to the lands they actu ally occupied,■'but decided that the rest of the area belonged to the community. Apd so it is today. This town owns great grazing areas, which are open to all citizens, and valuable timberlands. Ultimately Las Vegas will be rich and her people tax free. * The Essential.
