Folks: I says to Cal, “Hello, big
chief, what do you think of farm re-
lief?” He shook my hand and al-
aiost smiled and says. "Tonight
when you’ve beguiled yourself with
supper, and have lit your pipe I’ll
hear your views cn it.” “See
here,” says I, “I’ve come this far in
hopes I’d git a good cigar.” “Ci-
I gars conies high,” says Cal. “You
j ought to smoke that good old pipe
j you’ve brought, but to convince you
II ain’t tight, I’ll just supply you
with a light.”
That supper sure was mighty good,
corned beef and cabbage, if you
should drop in on Coolidges some
I day, I hope they’ll feed you up that
I way. 1 says to Mrs. Cal “By gee,
! just let us have that recipe. Sary
Jane, when she gits hum will surely
have to make me some.” That
| woman sure Knows how to cook,
! Sary Jane looked shocked when I
took a second helping and a i-hird,
[ but J3al he never said a word. I
s’pose he thinks he can’t afford to
take in folks like me to board, but I
git a good square meal that to my
| taste makes its appeal, I never have
been bashful yet, they know I‘ve
been there when I’ve et.

Will B. Drunker went over to Les
Brane’s t’other night an’ found him
j a-setting there turrible intrusted in
a peace in the paper. So Will says,
1 “What you reading?” says he.
“Why,” Les says, “I’m a-reading a
| article on nut growing,” says he.
“I don’t see why you’re a-wasting
!your time on that,” says Will. “You
got your growth, hain’t you?”

When you’re hieing Tong the high-
way, an’ the fam’ly’s in the car, an’
| you’ve picked a level byway that
will take you wide and far, you are
sittin’ kinda pretty, with your frets
and cares behind, ’cause you’ve left
the bakin’ city, an’ there’s nothin’ on
your mind.
As you speed along, you wonder
o’er the beauty spread aroun’, and
you’re thinkin’ why in thunder are
■you livin’ in a town ? There’s the
sweet perfume of clover and the
fresher ozone brings thorough pleas-
ure to the rover who’s enjoying na-
ture’s things.
Roads are wondrous as you sally
down the straightway, ’round the
turn, through the hill and dale and
valley. What’s the diff what gas
you burn ? All the family’s havin’
pleasure. Kinda thrillin’, through
and through. And, of course, there
is a measure that is bound to come
to you.
All in all, ya get to thinkin’ that
the world is pretty sweet. In the
open you’re not drinkin’ in the dust
of city street. But the feeling
quickly switches. Who said tour-
ing was so fine with its bumps and
ruts and ditches—when you hit a
detour sign ?

One day last week Doc Carven’s stack. For each drection of wind
little girl went to where his horse exPerts will box the compass, meas-
were hitched an’ fed it a coupla on- urin£ wind presures or suction every
....... 15 degrees around the stack. Know-
ing the - pressures and suctions, de-
signers and builders can make their
stacks or other cylindrical structures
to withstand whatever wind speeds
must be provided for, with efficiency
and economy. When the maximum
soeed to be provided for is known,
the pressure data from the bureau
will aid the designers to plan the
stacks with the minimum cost in-
vested in strength consistent with
safety.
A beautiful aluminum model of a
typical factory building may he seen
in the bureau’s giant winci tunnel,
the largest of the three tunnels at
the bureau. This model shows the
usual double slope roof, its central
ldge running lengthwise with the
building. It typifies thousands of
factories which must be able to with-
stand wind pressure. Curiously
enough, the preliminary results seem
to show suction rather than pressure
such that in high wind the building
would rather tend to explode out-
ward than collapse inward. This odd
result may be due to other causes
which are now being studied. Other-
wise a new and quite unexpected
discovery has been made. Pending
experiments will settle the point.
The three wind tunnels raise winds
that aiu architects and builders, and
the most unusual uses are found for
wind tunnel tests. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell’s high-speed hydroplane
boat, which later flew 70 miles an
hour, received its final touches

hates ’em. So Mis Carven ast him

city limits.”
received great* help from research
tests in these 'wind funnels. . Fin-
bombs have been studied under wind
streams similar to those encountered
in flight. Factory-type roof ven-
tilators were investigated and the
results given the producers as to the
efficiency of each type of design.
The wind pressures on skyscrapers,
about which only conjecture was pre-
viously possible, were unasured with
great care and the results embodied
in large solid graphic models. So,
too, wind pressure on airships were
determined. Thousands of airplane
parts have been subjected to artifi-
cial winds equivalent to air forces in
flight with the steadily increasing
efficiency resulting from the test
results and the redesign made pos-
sible with greater precision. The
wind tunnels have uses in great
variety.
