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 had landing and goes bouncing across a field Is disgraced and usually feels the humiliation to the utmost. Early In the war a "Indies' day" was held at an airdrome In England. Among the guests who thronged the field were mnny Indies In gala attire. Lato In the afternoon n pilot who wns a captain gave nn exhibition perform ance. He left the ground in perfect style, did a succession of vertical turns nnd n few "ucrobntlcs," then shut off his motor to land and receive the applause that he knew. was await ing him from the nlr sex. As the machine neared the ground the captain misjudged his distance, with the result that he hit the ground hard, made a scries of high jumps all the way ncross the field, and enme at last to rest Just In time to nvold crash ing Into n fence. He turned his ma chine, "taxied" to the hangnr and some what sheepishly rejoined the guer.ts. Ills fellow pilots were having a hard time to restrain themselves from laughter, and Just as it appeared that they had succeeded n very fat, gush ing sort of woman approached the cap tain nnd suld In accents loud and clear: "My dear captain, on behalf of the ladles presehtf I wish to thank ym for the wonderful exhibition of flyfng you have given us. It wns truly marvel ous. It was - positively a beautiful thing to see; and that landing of yours It wns superb I Just like a dear lfttle bird hop, hop, hop, hop I" Youth's Compnnlon. About the Weather. In Fairfax county, near the old homo of George Washington, a woodcutter without friends died the other day. At the funeral services there wns no one to mnke an address. Volunteers were asked for, nnd when, after n few min utes, no one responded, a newcomer, who hnlled from the Pacific coast, rose and said: "Well, If nobody else has anything to say, 1'd 'llke to drop a few remnrks on the remhrknble health-giving prop erties of California weather." Not a Handicap. The Americans were not handi capped on the western front by their slight knowledge of the French Inn gunge. As a mntter of fnct It wns defi nitely proved to the Germnn discom fort that the Americnn soldiers could shoot In any old language. London TIt-Blts.
