ant Dunne of the British
army. It. has twice flown
across tho English channel.
"The machine is controlled by
two levers which work a flap
at each end of the wings.
Tho biplane is as automat
ically stable as anything yet
produced. It finds its own
"bank," it cannot do anose
dive or a side slip, and many
of the greatest authorities
predict that this is the typo
of machine of the near fu
ture. The inventor himself ad
mits that in its present stage
it,, is capable of considerable
improvement, yet one can
easily appreciate the fact
that when his ideals have
been realized a very great
advance will havo been made.
In its present form the chief
objection to the Dunne ma
chine is that it i$ heavy and
comparatively slow, but it
undoubtedly fulfils the in
ventor 'si claims to automatic
stability.
Those claims are that the
machine cannot be turned
over to a dangerous angle in
the air, and that any one
with sufficient sense to drive
a motor car can drive it. It
is necessary to realize that
any well-designed modern
aeroplane will right itself if
blown over sideways by a
gust, provided it has room to
fall' and straighten out after
ward. Tho point about the
Dunnei is that tho same gust
that blows it up on one side
passes on and blows it up on
the other side; so that, in
stead of rocking wildly from
side to side and dropping a
considerable distanco before
it right itself, the Dunne ma
chino rolls gently and rises
and fails almost on an oven
keel, consequently tho pilot
does not havo to fly the ma
chine; he merely directs it.
The difference is very much
that between a racing skiff,
which has to bo balanced by
the occupant, and a lifeboat,
which balances itself.

in all sincerity and good truth, there
has novcr been any other education or
philanthropic movement Instituted that
had In It such possibility for good aa lias
teaching cooking In th public schools.
Consider what It means, first, to
humanity lu general, and then to the girl
herself.
To begin with, If every girl was turned
cut of the public school a first-class cook.
It would do more to conserve the public
health than all other sanitary measures
combined.
Any doctor will tell you that half of
the sickness of the world can be traced
lack to badly prepared food. The wlfa
and mother practically holds the health
or the world In her hands. Is it not Im
portant that she should be taught how to
safeguard this Inestimable asset of the
nation?
It Is of the greatest economic Import- j
ancc to the country that its girls ahould I
be taught to cook, because that Is the !
only way they can meet the high cost
of living. Women buy expensive outs of
meat because they do not know how to
cook the cheaper ones so that they are
ratalable and nourishing.
They are guilty of enormous waste,
tecause In their Ignorance they destroy
vast quantltlea of food by overcooking
or undercooking. The prosperity of the

Is It not, then, of tho first Importance
to the nation to teach its girls to cook?
It Is also of equal Importance to the
girls.
It Is Important to the girl herself, be
cause whatever else a woman knows, or
doesn't know how to do, the one thing
tjiat she In certain to need to know at
some time during her life Is how to
cook. This is equally true whether she Is
rich or poor.
If a woman Is rich there Is-sure to be
some domestic catycllsm in which she
will find herself without a maid, and
then her own comfort, and that of her
family, depends on her ability to get a
meal. Also, if she knows how to cook
she knows how to manage servants, how
to get the bst results from them, and
how to train Inexperienced and willing
maids into efficient help. There is netti
ng like the boss on being on the Job to
get good work.

amateur.
The girl who lias been taught to cook,
along- with her a, b, o's, finds It no bur
den to do tho housework of her family.
With ense sho turns out meals that
make her husband arise and bless her
name, whereas the girl who has never
boiled an egg before she married, wprks
herself Into nervous prostration prepar
Ing meals of overdone meat and under
dono bread that make hrr husband regret
tha club he left behind him.
To teach a girl to cook Is also to give
her a profession by which he can always
earn a good, comfortable living, fihe can
always draw u fair salary In somebody's
kitchen, and If she has the enterprise
to raise her profession to the dignity of
an art. she can name her own price,
and get It, or make a fortune keeping
hoarders or a hotel.
Perhaps, you say. that It is not the
province of the public school to (each
girls to cook, and that they should learn
that from their mothers. The answer Is,
that thn mothers In the great majority
of families don't know how to cook, but
their daughters can teach them. Kven
among the more Intelligent classes the
mothers cool' In the hlt-or-mlss style,
whleh was handed down to them by their
mothers, snd which Is far removed from
the sloentlflo Instruction given by the
teachers of domestic wclenee in the public
schools.

that will suggest themselves to everyone
who thinks alxwt the subjet, let us en

fortunately for us, development works
both ways, it works up aud'jt also works

This same truth Is taught in that nible
story of Christ's temptation In the wilder
ness, when the devil undertook to break
Christ down by holding his attention off
from his better self and trying to make
him think about gratifying his animal
impulses, and converting the stones,
which lay about him, Jnto bread.
To which Christ replied, "Man shall not
live by bread alone."
C'hiist's reply to the devil la exactly In)

It la very true that we must noi neglect

The value and the growth of that in
its which is not flesh will depend a good
deal on our keeping the flesh In a good
eonilltlon of repair and preservation.
