I was the first woman to en- counter a terrific storm, The aviation field is a dreassy plat at best, and ,on this particular'o• ec Sion -e, drizzling rain,, added to the pe simistic comments of those who wer already on the field, came very nee making me 'Change my decision. How ever, I mustered up courage and climb- ed into the plane, leaving Le Boudget, ten miles outside Paris, at 12,30 p.m. It was a closed airplane and the pilot remarked: "It is like a Pullman car, so don't be the least afraid of the weather." It took about five minutes to"heat up. the engine. Then, with a.swirl that blew blinding dust in all directions, we started. I had sensations, plenty of them. The strangest one was that I had absolutely no feeling of ascending at all. On the contrary,the earth seemed suddenly to drop away from under us and I almost kicked a hole in the bottom of the gondola trying to -get my feet back before we disap- peared altogether. Eager Longing For Land. Members of the, crew must have had similar inclinations when they made. their 'first ancients,were , for theytlook- inghey at me and seemed to know exactly what was in my mind—"I wish I were back on terra firma again." I com- mented, "Too late now, miss." -,.g'i en I smiled at the pilot, Charles McMullin, and he pointed to the earth below. We were 1,000 feet high, and I quickly concentrated my gaze on my feet. I looked again at the bottom dropping -out of the world. Now there was a terrific explosion, surely the plane was being rended in oto bits. But no, we were still in the air. I looked out and Saw the towns flying below that looked exactly like a map with little lines running thrdugh it indicating where the roads were, and the trees formed into what looked like cabbage patches. Then I had the sensation of standing still, of not going at all. By this time 'we were about 5,000 feet high and making wide, graceful circles over the funny looking world down under us. One dip throw me al- together out of my seat, and I closed my teeth to keep my heart from jump - lug out of my mouth. A few minutes later we dashed into a strong head wind, which developed into a heavy storm of hail, snow and rain. Riding Rough and Plunging. This, was over Veaumont sur Oise and continued twenty minutes. At times the riding was heavy, rough, dipping and plunging, but we soon left It far behind us and straightened out for a long run. We reached the 'English Channel at 2 o'clock. There was nothing but angry clouds around Us. I felt sure that it I would just put my hand up I could pull a cloud down into the plane. Then I became a trifle nets vous. I drew out a book, "The High Romance," which.

When I leave home for a trip in the woods I am as interested in having my supply of pills as provisions, and on such occasions, I take them regularly. The result is I am always fit. I never take cold, and can digest all kinds of food such as we have to put up with hastily cooked in the woods, Having proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as a tonic and health builder, I am never with- out them, and I lose no opportunity in recommending them to weak people whom I meet," Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be kept id every home, and their occa- sional use will keep the blood pure and ward off illness.

The greatest factor in the adoption of practical conservation methods is to have the unqualified support of pub- lic opinion. It is extremely encourag- ing to know that the business interests engaged in the exploitation of Cana- dian forests are not desirous that either governmental or commercial policies should be of a hand-to-mouth character.

Millions of Acres in Waste. The total land area of the world (excluding the polar regions) is about 30,000,000,000 acres, according to the International Institute of Agriculture,. What proportion of this is productive agriculturally is not definitely known, but the institute has collected data for thirty-six countries having a total land area of 15,071,209,000 acres, of. which it is calculated, or estimated. that 4,491,691,000 acres, or 30.5 per cent., are productive, and 1,813,832,000 acres, or 8,7 per cent., are cutivat®d' land (including fallow land also arti- ficial grasses). The productive land Includes, besides cultivated land, nat- ural meadows and pastures, forests, wood lots and land devoted to cults.` vated trees and shrubs. Trees.

Production is Urged..; It was Josh Billings, we believe, who warned e asinine world of the dangers that lurked In the prpcesses of n101- keying with the buss saw, says the Thrift Magazine, Like many a word spoken in jest, there was the wisdom of the ages In this homely quip. We are doing too much monkeying with the buzz saw to -day. We have been monkeying with the laws of sup- ply and demand, We have endeavored to amend or repeal economic laws that can no more be changed than the forces of . nature can be altered. Amateur eeongmists,i visionary politi- cians and rampant reformers cannot, through the formation of board and committees, , the adoption of resolu- tions or the assembling of conventions, change the fundamentals of life one Wo 'do not need any more panaceas. All we need do is to get on the job and work, save, speed up production, eliminate waste, quit looking for Utopia and sighing for the millenium. The world will grow better only through the development, of education and the adoption of wholesome habits of life by the people,. What we need above all things else is a better development of thrift and a closer application of its :principles. Let us quit monkeying with the buzz saw. • ft ,, CHILDIIOQD COILS 1 IIIAtPION Constipation is one of the most com- mon ailments of babyhood and, child- hood and unless itis promptly cured will undoubtedly lead to disastrous results. To cure this trouble nothing can equal Baby's Own Tablets. They are amild laxative which instantly re- gulate the bowels ' and sweeten the stomach, thus banishing constipation, colic, colds, etc. Concerning. them Mrs. Eugene Vaillancourt, St. Mathieu, @ue„ writes: "When my baby was constipated I gave her Baby's Own Tablets and am well satisfied, with the result. I would strongly recommend them to all mothers for this trouble." The Tablets are -sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Snake From Horse Hair. John Burroughb in one of his Notes on Nature stated in substance that a hair from a horse's tail placed in water would not turn to a snake, and that if a snake appeared in.tho water it had not developed from the horse's hair. Evidently' Mr. Burroughs, when he was young, missed one of the common and interesting experiments of coun- try boys. It's worth trying. A white china 'washbowl is desirable to make the test with, as the a i h 11 c hair will show plainly -against the white background. Have the one who takes care of a black -tailed. horse pull or cut a hair from the tail. Fill the bowl with water. Rainwater, it seems, we were told t`o use, but water from the city pipes may produce the same result. Place the bowl inan unoccupied room. Put the horse hairin the water. In a few days the hair will wiggle around like a snake, but will not in- crease in size. What causes the hair to move was a puzzle that was not solved: As the hair seemed life -like, the experiment was considered a success and was not prolonged, which was well, as the final result probably would have been dis- appointing.

The Justinian Code of Laws of the year 528 still carries weight in English law, says a London despatch. At any rate, it has been used to decide a knotty point of law for which the re- cords failed to find a solution. The point for which the Emperor Justinian's code has been made to serve was "Does the owner of bees which leave their hive .and swarm some distance away retain property rights in them?" Judge. 'Gwynn Janhits, who, found. himself obliged to settle the point at, the Rath County Court, quoted the law as laid down by Emperor Justinian to the effect that a smarm uelonged. to a man as long as they were in his sight and could be easily pursued; other- wise therwise they became the property of the first person who saw then. His ruling was that the ,swarm in question had not been in the owner's sight when it flew from the hive. Therefore he gave judgment against the original owner.
