Therefore, Mr. Whamm, aside from being a Meal Ticket, was, so far as the other Whammas were concerned just a Comic Strip. They figured that he had only two Accomplishments. He could make Money and Social Errors. His place was in the Background except when it was time to write checks. The ideal Arrangement would have been to keep hirudin a Cage somewhere and let h®i pass out the Needful through the Bars. •' .. , Grooming Up ^api. Yon can imagine the ^nsternatlon which prevailed among the Whamms as the time drew neaT for Mrs. Chaun^ cey Wainwriglit's annual Bid for Publicity. Every Mid-Winter, about the Time that Folks were recovering from the Holidays, Mrs. W. threw a Party which was a combination of Reception, Dance, Street Carnival and Indian Uprising. The principal Idea was to make the World sit up and take notice and she got her Wish. It was the kind of Party which no Woman could attend unless she had Everything new Including that which does not show; Intentionally. It was the sort of Celebration for which the Participants go into training, usually sleeping all of the Day before. It was organized to turn Night into Day. What .von might designate as a Wow. What worried the Whamms was that Papa would be compelled to attend the Doings, because Mrs. Chauncey Wainwright's Mother had been a Whamm and the Hostess had exacted a solemn Promise that Irving would he brought along, she eyidentfy labor ing under the Delusion that he wqs a 'Human Being. He told Serena, otherwise known as Mrs. Wainwright. that he would check in early, wearing a Boyish Bob and some Sleigh Bells. The Wife and the two Lip-Stickers and the proud Aristocrat with Giuet on his Hair started in two Weeks ahead to warn him and prepare him. They v*»»w him that this was going to and combed the Hair M n to up the Hazard between the Rough and the Fairway, Oar Hero was ready to go in front of a Camera and play the I^ad in a Movie Version of that tender and wholesome Drama known as "The Great Lover."

He kept his Hat down and hid Inside of his Overcoat, so the anxious and worried members of his Flock did not get a square Flash of hirii until he sauntered out on the Bail Room Floor and then they realized that Oscar Shaw, In the Second Act of the Revue, had merely been pretending to wear something Snappy In the way of Evening Habiliments. Father made the Lilies of the Field look like Weeds. All who saw him, and especially those who were near enough to smell him. agreed that be was the He-Belle of the Occasion.; He didn't go near any of the Whanlms, during the long Night. He was too busy telling the other Boys that Congress shouldn't have passed the Law In the first Pla<^. lie did not - know any oT the new Dances, so he mastered, all of them in about Ten Minutes and after th«M? everything was HotsvTntsy until about 4:80 when he Sent Word to the Whamms to beat1 it. as he was booked for flam and Eggs at a Dump down near the Railway Tracks. He had .been reading up and he knew that all Nice Pe<»ple must welcome the Dawn In a Beanery kept open for Taxi Drivers. The Day after the Party , was the Happiest Day of bis Life in spite 6f the Fact that the Inside of his moutb felt like an Oriental Rag and he could hear Bells ringing. Not one of the Beloved Ones would speak to him. After years of timid Yearning, be had succeeded Ip being a Disgrace. It was all to the Good. Better be a Roue than a Rube.

It was suggested to Mr. Whamm that he had better not wear his Comforter and Yarn Mittens and to be sure and remove his Ear-Muffs before entering the Ball Room. Straw That Broke the Nag's Back. Susie, the elder of the two junior Feminine Liabilities, asked him If he knew what kind of Tie went with Full Dress and did he have any Studs other than the Little Wooden Ones sent back by the Laundry? Chlorine, the younger, begged him, for the Love of St. Patrick, not to wear heavy Street Shoes with the conventional Regalia and If he had to appear in the old Dress Suit, purchased when the Reception was given to President Taft, for the Sake of his Family, to remain backed - up against the Wall all during the Proceedings.

On the Night of Nights, the Stranger who came early in the evening, ostep sibiy to see Mr Whamm on a Matter of Business, was none other than trained Valet and Dresser who had devoted his Life to the impossible Task of making u>en beautiful.

The point is, of course, that at several thousand feet In the air errors of control can be made more or less with impunity. There is ample time for the pupil to correct them or. If he gets himself tfpd up Into knots, the Instructor can straighten things out. Landing a machine, or taking-off, on the other hand, gives no such latl tude. The machine Is very near the hard, hard ground. Wherefore, both these phases of flying an airplane-- After tiw tiff she calmed Aeoto- • bit "But how can you love me, George," she said.

"You have the nerve to come and ask me for my daughter's hand. You!" he srtSfS^ed at the shaking suitor. "Tliat's so, sir," siald the young man. "But she doesn't want to be tied to an idiot all her life," barked her father. ^ - "Well, sir, why not let me take her' off your hgnds," said the suitor coolly enough.-~£nswers.

But as his I lessons proceed he soon modifies his views. Such is the confidence and selfreliance he acquires that, when at last he comes to mastering the takeoff and landing, the control-column has become almost part of himself, and he finds they are problems well within his compass. Before taking the tests for his "A" license, the new pilot must have flown at least three hours solo. The tests themselves. In addition to showing flying skill. Include a simple medical ex ami nation. The additional questions put by the medical examiner are searching enough., The qualifying pilot must also display knowledge of the elementary rules relating to air traffic. For Instance, he must know the correct method of approaching a landing ground, and what he has to»-do when meeting another machine in mid-air. As one quickly realizes, the "role of road" in mid-air is as important for the safety of aircraft as are rulpa and regulations for road traffic. Being of a three-dlmenfiional nature, they are rather morcf complicated. ilk-* S. H.

How Paint Affects Cars In a study of refrigerator cars, engineers of tbe bureau of agricultural engineering found that the color with which a car was painted had much to do with the degree of penetration of solar heat into the car.

Under like conditions of radiation and exposure to sunshine, car surfaces painted red were hotter than those painted yellow, but were cooler than those painted black. It was found also that the difference between air and surface temperatures for stationary cars was about twice as great as tor moving cars.
