A helpful discussion followed the reading and many very helpful suggestions were presented. One question was "How much time should be given to the spelling of geographical names," and it was de cided that teachers should Insist on correct spelling of names of U. S., N.

Another was addressed, "Windy Noisy Mitchell, Freight Beggar, B. & O. R. R Atlanta." Mitchell was Georgia commission er at the Jamestown exposition. He favored Roosevelt for a third term and carried to the last Republican national convention a monster peti tion from Georgia advocating him. Wo Eat too Much. Most of us eat too much at all times. On such occasions as Christ mas we eat entirely too much. It Is a serious matter which concerns the health of all. More illness is caused by over-eating than by any other one thing. We gorge the system with too much food and our inability to take care of all that is piled in leads to all sorts of complications. There were times when most of our ancestors lived In the open air and did hard physical work. Then big eating was necessary. The hard er the physical exertion, especially in the open and cold, the more food Is necessary. Food is fuel. Exertion eats up the fuel and cold consumes It. In these days, however, there is very little work of a hard physical kind in the open air for the majority of us. We ought, therefore; to be light eaters. But, most of us are not, and the very large majority of peo ple est entirely too much. TO PLY l6o MILES AN HOUR. Worchcstcr Mechanical Engineer Says He Con Do This. Worchestar, Mass. Wallace E. Tllllnghast, u mechanical engineer of recognized a'jllity and connected with the foremost steam heating concerns in this section, claims to have invent ed an aeroplane capable of carrying three persons with a weight limit of 200 pounds each, 300 miles without a. stop to replenish a supply of petrol, and attain a speed of about 100 miles an hour.

When near Fire Island one of the cylinders of the flyer ran irregularly so the motors were stopped and the two mechanics took plenty of time In repairing it, and doing little work of a precautionary nature with other parts of the machinery.

The guago at the hydrant showed a pressure of 23 pounds. When the pump was started the pressure rap idly mounted 'to 120 pounds, and at that time tho guage at the main was down to nothing, showing that the pump was taking all tho water from the hydrant. At this pressure streams were tried with the -lnch, 1 -inch .and 14 -inch nozzles. Without the, pump with the smallest nozzle tip a stream of not more than 60 feet was thrown, but with the pump it carried about 140 feet, or a distance sufficient to reach over any dwelling on Highland avenue. At another hydrant the Monhagens tried the nowJpray nozzle. This nozzle, while carrying a heavy main stream, casts a, spray for a radius of about ten feet directly In front of the nozzle-men, keeping smoke and Are away from them, and allowing to work very close to the fire. Later two streams were, used at once. The hydrant pressure was 30 pounds, and the pump, with two streams working, Increased this to 70 pounds. The test was declared finished at about 3:40 o'clock. It was the gen eral opinion that the fire fighting efficiency of the department has been greatly increased by the addition to its apparatus of the Monhagen's auto truck.
