in this respect. One should not be
the least- surprised therefore when he
is placed in a revolving chair and
spun rapidly around, now sitting for
ward, now back, and asked upon
stopping to point In a certain direc
tion or execute some other, motions.
Nor should he be surprised If every
thing he does appears to him to be
done wrong.
But the medical test is soon over,
and if the candidate passes, he may
be pretty sure that he is physically
perfect. He then goes on to a men
tal examination which also sounds for
midable, but which is in reality and
of necessity brief. A few questions
are asked as to the candidate's career
perhaps, but if he has had college
training he need not- fear the outcome.
If the candidate is one of the three
who pass both tests, as he should be
with his advantages, he is notified that
he Is accepted for training for Hie air
service as a member of the Signal

In that status he goes through the

Then after passing his final testa

THE languorous charm of the
Hawaiian native instruments so
moving in appeal, so observably
in vogue is strikingly characteristic
of the Ukulele. Its tone possesses that
curiously beautiful timbre, that exotic
charm of tonal quality which has
made these instruments so sensation
ally popular.
The Ukulele has a pleasing grace of
form. The finer models are made
of genuine Hawaiian Koa wood. It
is much in request today among the
smarter college and other musical
organizations.
