Arc Aviators Born?
Thero Was n time when It wns held
that n ilmn must bo especially born
for aeronautic duties. Experience has
brought on tho fact thnt the average
young man can make an excellent
aviator. Captain Guynemer, Major
Bishop, Captain William Thaw, Cap
tain Bull of tho Lafayette eBcndrllle,
and practically all tho famous ayln
tors woro not men who Impressed any
body with helng different from other
men.
Of the thousands of allied aviators
there aro probably not five hundred
men who had seen moro than a fow
months of military Rervlco beforo
Joining the ulr service. Most of them
had never aeon any military service.
In planning an organization for tho
selection and trnlnlng of aviators, the
aircraft board aiid the signal corps of
tho United States have hnd to preparo
to deal entirely with men who had
novor Been military service, as other
countries havo done Henry Wood

Americanisms In Britain.
Lord Derby, In advising us not to
"get rattled," has nddod another word
to our war vocabulary, or, at any rate,

this sense "rattled" Is an Americanism,
and wo remember reading an artlclo by
W. D. Howclls somo thirty years ngo,
In which ho Bald ho wns not very eas
ily rattled. Of course wo havo used
tho word In this country with other
moanlngs for many centuries; oven
Pepys relates on ono occasion how he
rattled his wife hut that was moro in
the nature of grumbling, while Lord
Derby ovldently Intends us not to got
alarmed or oxclted, which is the real
American senso of tho word.London

"If you love mo, you wouldn't wnnt
to go to war I I don't sec It at all.
You're married, nnd even If I'm not
dependent on you, I don't Want you to
go you'll bo drafted If thoy need you
badly enough. I Ain't understand ho
way you feci nt all jou Just can't
care about me, .that's all IX Tho words
came In a rush and tho girl who had
spoken was trembling with excitement
und on the verge of tears.
"You'ro right, dear, you don't un
derstand," agreed her husband. "You
know perfectly" .well thnt I do caro
nbout you, but there's a special call
for men In my line of work just now,
nnd I feel more like a slacker every
day I stay away. Can't you see how I
feel Dorothy?"
"No, I can't just see It, but If you
wnnt to go you needn't stny on my ac
count. I thought a man's wife usually
came first, but I guess I'm wrong. By
all means, go, If you want to lenvo
me!"
"You'ro tnlklng nonsense, Dorothy!
And of course you know If you put up
that sort of nn argument, I won't" go
ut least, not until I'm needed more
than I am now. I wish yon did not
feel as you do," ho went on, with an
attempt at cheerfulness, "but it can't
be helped, I suppose. I'm off for town
now It's late, too. Good-by."
Dorothy caught her breath in a sob
ns she watched him disappear down
the path. It was tho first time In two
years that they had been mnrrle.d that
Tom had gone off without kissing her
good-by.
It wns with n sense of defeat rather
than victory that Dorothy went about
her household duties that morning.
Just ns sho wns starting for tho
bridge club that afternoon, tho door
bell rang and Polly Anderson breezed
In. Polly was tho newest brldo in
their set.
"Oh, Dot," she cried, "I'm so thrilled
I can hardly speak I Bob's got a com
mission ns first lieutenant and I'm
so proud of hlra I don't know what to
do I Isn't It wonderful?"
Dorothy forgot nil about the bridge
club und sat down.
"But he'll be sent awny, won't he?"
Bhe queried vaguely.
"Of course, stupid I You didn't sup
pose he'd stny here, did you? No, in
deed 1 Ho's going South a week-from
ttfdny for a while and I suppose he
will be sent abroad from thercs ever
so many of them are."
"How terrible! I'm so very sorry
for you, dear!"
""Well, you needn't bo! I'm so full
of pride over Bob nnd love for my
country thrown In, that there simply
Isn't room for nny other feeling. Don't
wasto any sympathy on me!"
"But, Polly,- you don't wnnt him to
go you sound ns If you really, did."
Polly held her proud little head
higher thnn ever and winked back a
tear.
"If n woman really loves her hus
band," she began steadily, "she does
not actually want to get rid of him.
But when his country calls and ho
hears tho call himself, she knows ho
must go. If tie Were deaf to that call
and she Is a true American woman;
sho could never feel really proud of
him again. You understand how it Is,
Dorothy you must feel tho snmo
yourself about Tom. Every truo wom
an docs."
Dorothy snt very still, but when
Polly rose to go, she kissed her with
a new respect in her manner. Sho
hnd quite forgotten the bridge club.
wnen Tom came homo a trlflo ear
lier than usual, he found his wife
seated before a fire In tho living room,
busily winding yarn.
"Why, Dot, what nro you doing?"
"Starting a sweater for you to take
away with you," sho returned
promptly.
Then, nt his look of amazement.
she ran to him, nnd seizing the lnpels
or ms coat, almost fiercely, looked Tin
Into his face appenllnsly.
"I've been all wrone. Tom." sho told
hlra. "I didn't understand how it was.
or courso you've got to co I didn't
realize how men felt about this tiling
or women, either, for that matter I
ut now I seo It nil. Just ns nlaln as
day, nnd I wnnt you to go as soon ns
you'ro ready I'll help you every bit I
can, too i"
Tom stared nt her for n moment.
Then ho caught her In his arms and
held her so close that Bhe could scarce
ly breathe.
"I can't leave you, darling I simply
can't!" ho whispered, nnd waited for
the expected acquiescence. But Doro
thy pushed him uwny and looked
straight into his eyes again.
res, you can, dear," she said with
a new firmness. "I wouldn't havo you
amy ior anyuung m the world now,
nnd I never loved you half so much
as I do at this minute. It's the only
thing to do nnd if other women can
Bivo their men un. I mifinn t an tnn.
Vm proud that you' want to go It
vtuu.u ureuK my neurt to have you feel
a slacker, now that I underatnnrt. I
wub ono myself this morning, but Tra
not any more."
After a few mlnnfna' trttAvmluelnn
sho added : "I never was bo unhappy
uiu. -J.U1B morning I wanted
you hero. Now I lovo you too much
to keep you from going. Aren't wom

vNo, thoy'ro wonderful" ha rotnmiMi
promptly. "But you are the most
wonderful one of alll"
Ana sue didn't even deny It.
