' This one imall section ot the boiue
from the very beginning of tbelr resi-
dence was Ginger's own U was dl(Q
cult of approach for then were no
tatrs leading to It sod solo ad'mls
ilon was by mens of a wabbly ora
ladder of ill rounds which carefully
balanced against the wall al the end
of the upper ball led to the trapdoor
which opened upward Into the attic
Ginger loved the attic most of all tor
Its inaccessibility The trapdoor
Which swung on i binged lock tnd bad
to bs pushed upward wltb one hand
was oo obstacle bat an added charm
In her eyes On the attic side of the
door she bad wltb her own hands
driven a blj staple added another book
and when ahe went thither on matters
of any special moment aba locked It
furtltqly behind her
I The studio was her sacred retreat
and on this particular Burday after
noon she had a definite motive In re-
tirement for she sought the guidance
of the Mums Ginger had made s

from his mother a Jar of preserved
peaches wrapped In an old page of the
few York World - Helen bad crum-
pled It lightly Into the waste basket
where the abarp eye ot Ginger Ella
had espied It whence her 'greedy Un-
gers had rescued It And from It she
learned to her delight that the New
York World would pay fire dollars
each tor the Bright Sayings of Chil-
dren 1 One of Ginger's great grievance In
life was the tendency of her slaters
to recall sod repeat imait sayings
of her own aone-too-remote childhood
8ucb repetition reduced her to abject
and helpless fury But iha noted
that the auditor tlway laughed am-
ple proof of thi presence of humor
8be cast about In her memory for the
most nmuilng of these pseudo laugh-
producers tnd unable to dlecorer
merit by her own Judgment she hit
ap$n the on tbit had produced the
greatest gales ot merriment Merely
changing name knd relationships
from her own and Helen’s to that of
s mother and' daughter ahe wrote:
I ’’Mrs Infra ham spent an entire
afternoon assisting a neighbor to cut
out aod lit a gown end when tbe gar'
ment was entirely finished aha wished
to make payment for the Urns con-
' sumed Oh no' said Mr Ingraham
pleasantly 1 shall not taka a cent
' for It 1 did It entirely out at friend-
ship' Tbe neighbor was Insistent but
Mrs Ingraham remained firm tnd
would not take tbe money Al last
- sb turned to Alice lira Ingraham’s
' small daughter standing oear and
said ‘Alice tell me how can I make
your mother take tbit five dollars
which ahe has fully earnedf Alice
considered a moment and then an-
nounced gfavely ’Ton might give It
go me and the will borrow If ”
’ Ginger wrote corrected and copied
Then ahe read It dls-asteful’y “It’a s
dumb thing’’ she thought ftwnlngly
But tbe memory of nnfalllng laughter
encouraged her and ahe folded It
neatly tucked It Into ao envelope and
addressed It la a firm large band
t At six o'clocli tha girls cunoe to-
gether to the kitchen where they hur-
riedly set out a light supper In order

She poured the coffee with flngeri

DIESEL ENGINE IS
PRAISED BY EXPERTS
Developei Great Power and
Fuel Cost It Low
Berlin — Following the successful
flight of the new Junkers Uleael eu
glue which Ima been tn the course of
construction tot the last two years
definite speclUi-utluna have been an-
nounced by engineers concerning the
power plant
Tbe flight was made after the en-
gine bad been on the testing block
closely guarded from observers for
eighteen months'
The normal rating ot the power
plant Is OOO horsepower but Its imixl-
mum output Is 850 horsepower It tins
sis cylinders and a maximum crank-
almft revolution per minute of 1000
’The broad distinction between the
gasoline and Diesel aircraft engine”
esplalned one of the company -engineers
“Is that In the former ‘air
and gasoline are mixed to form the
combustion while In the latter air
and oil are used -
No Spark Plugs
"In tb gasoline engine air and
gasoline are first mixed tn the car
buretor the mixture Is then curried
to the cylinder by the Intake manifold
Is compressed In the cylinder on the
ap-stroke of the piston and ts fired
when the compression is substantially
at maximum by an electric epurk gen
erated at the spark plug by meuns of u
magneto or battery and coll combina-
tion "The expansion of the hot gasses
resulting from the explosion forces
the piston down on the power stroke
al the end of which the exhaust valve
opens the gases are discharged and
the cycle Is repeated
"Only pure air Is compressed on the
compression stroke In the Diesel en-
gine eo consequently there Is no cap
buretor required to mix the fuel with
the air Intensely heated by compres-
sion the air Ignites the oil fuel which
Is slowly sprayed Into the cylinder
The fuel barns ns fast as It I sprayed
In this manner the hot gases are
formed which force the plsten down
ou the power stroke the same aa with
the gasoline engine
Use Cheap Fuel
"Owing to the Intense beat developed
by the highly compressed air of the
Diesel engine It Is feasible to run these
engines on much less volatile fuels
than gasoline since the heat Is suffl-
deaf to vaporize the heaviest grade
of petroleum oils practically In the
condition of the crude oil as It comes
from the ground"
Two of tha greatest factors tn favor
of the engine are Its reliability and
freedom from Interfering with radio
Its lack of spark precludes any Inter-
ference with radio which Is now en-
tering Its era of worth to aviation
A greater pay load will result with
the oil burning engine It Is pointed
out A plane that now carries 10 pas-
sengers and 500 gallons - of gasoline
will he able to carry 14 passengers
at a result of the saving In weight
Single motor planes Instead of trl-
motor ships costing about 25 per cent
m much to operate will result with
the adoption of the new engines the
engineers declared
Graf Zep’t Next Flight

ropean continent with South and

BECOMING SWIFTER
Army' Air Force Now File
at 180-Mile Speed
London— An improvement In the
equipment of the royal air force Is
providing England with a fighting air
army 30 miles an hour fnster than
tlint which It previously possessed In
round figures Great Britain's nir force
Is passing from the IMMulle stage to a
180-mlle clip
A replacement ot the older types ol
aircraft by more modern planes la tak-
ing pluce In four classes— single center
fighters Interception fighters fleet
lighters and duy bombers
Four squudrons ot' the royffl air
force are being equipped with the new
Bulldog tighter which with a speed
of 174 miles nn'hour at 10000 feet al-
titude replaces a type plane which
hmde ’58 miles an hour At 20000
feet ceiling the new' i-lune makes 107
miles uu hour against Its predecessor’s
154 It climbs to 20000 reel lu 14H
mlnutis 3’A minutes buster tlimi the
old plane and has a service celling of
27000 feet 4000 feet higher than the
present fighter
Research work Is also under way
to perfect new interception planes
particularly to develop rapid climbing
This improvement wns necessitated ly
the production of faster day bomber
which the Inst air maneuvers over
London showed could break through
and theoretically destroy the city
England’s latest fust bomber will
make 177 miles an hour at 5000
feet 172 utiles un hour at lOOtjp feet
103 miles an 'hour at 15000 feet and
120 miles un hour ut 20000 feet' tn
every case with a full loud It climbs
15000 feet In 10 minutes '
The Increase lu speed of the British
fighting machine Is due to the re-
search In developing the machine
which won the Schneider trophy The
Important factors are Improved en-
gine design giving greater power for
the same weight Improved super
chargers and aerodypumlc Improve-
ments cutting down air resistance
The British also are reported to be
developing some other remarkably
speedy airplanes '
Gliders Are Warned
of Towing Danger!
New York— Student glider pilots
are warned against the auto und air
plane method of towing In a it u fo-
ment made by officials of the National
Glider association
“Primary training gliders should
never be towed behind alrplunes and
advanced tfpes only when piloted by
experts behind alrplunes previously
tested for the purpose” the statement
warns “Auto towing should be at-
tempted only ' by experienced pilots
Gliding by the ehock cord method ts
perfectly safe when proper equipment
Is used and ordlnnry precautions
taken”
The association has approved the
system of auto towing on the Ice used
to Instruct University of Mlchtgnn stu-
dents because there Is a suitable un-
obstructed area available and the in-
struetloq Is carefully supervised This
system consists of giving the student
short hops gradually Increasing them
ua he becomes accustomed to the con-
trols The association's technical commit-
tee Is preparing new regulations gov-
erning motorless flight and bus been
