YOUTH MAKES SOLO FLIGHT AFTER FEW HOURS OF STUDY Fifteen Year ar Old Boy Be- lieved Youngest Airman In New Brungwick -- Saint John, N.R --Pat Sclanders, fifteen-year-old student at the Saint John High School, made his first solo flight recently at the civic air- port after five hours and forty min- utes dual instruction. He is believed he youngest airman in New Bruns- WICK. His world is a world of aero- planes. #The walls of his room are plastered with pictures of planes and aviators he has admired from afar and aviators he has met at the airport. Most of his spare time is spent either visiting the airport or reading about planes. The son of Mr, and Mrs, F. M. Sclanders, 38 Duke street, Pat has been "air minded" since he was ten vears old and there is little now that he does not know about such things as tonnage, net and gross, horse- power, cruising speed, wing area, fuselage, lifting tension "and the like. When only thirteen he won from an aviation magazine a prize for locat- ing the greatest number of errors in a technical description of a cer- tain type of plane. The prize was a leather helmet and a pair of goggles which he "wore recently when he went solo, Pat earned the money for flying lessons himself, working at the civic airport for the Pan American Air- ways during the summer holidays, and w riting paragraphs for an avia- tion magazine published ii New York. His instructor and, inciden- tally, his hero, Captain C. S. Kent, of the Saint John Flying Club, re- ferred to Pat as a coming airman when the lad made his solo, taking off and landing after the fasliion of a real veteran, Pat's major regret is that his whiskers won't grow: It seems that the well-dressed aviator should wear a mustache.

At the same time it is evidence of the confidence held by the Canadian Gypsum Company, Limited, in the future of Canadian business expansion." SABATINI UPSETS MANY TRADITIONS Noted Author Says Many Historical Stories Exaggerated Montreal. --Lecturing last night in Tudor Hall on "Fiction in History", Rafael Sabatini, author of many celebrated historical romances, con- demned historians who for various reasons, distorted the facts they chronicled. The famous creator of such ro- mantic characters as "Scaramouche" and "Captain Blood." declared that an inaccurate account of an event written by a contemporary author was frequently accepted without question by gencration after gener- ation until any contradiction of the original report was regarded almost as a sacrilege. His phrase in this connection--"falsehood made vener- able by time""--was only one of a number of his ironic utterances. Mr. Sabatini destroyed svral il- lusions and subtly ridiculed stories of the past which, he declared, re- search had shown had absolutely no foundation on fact. Among the most glaring examples of "false- hoods made venerable by time," he instanced the story of the hero of the Swiss Confederation, William Tell, in whose memory more than. a score of chapels and shrines exist in Switzerland today in spite of the | historical | 'a nereent age of the total amount fact that this grat figure never lived: the story of the murder of the Princess in the Tower who were the victims of Henry the Seventh and not Richard the Third, who Mr. Sabitini pictured as a much maligned monarch: the story of the Man in the Iron Mask, whose iden- tity was never established definitely, but who was probably a man named Matteoli and an enemy of Louis XIV; the story of the Borgia Pove, Alexander VI. against whom Mr, Sabitini stated that a monstrous charge had been laid unjustly, Not Justified Regarding the legend of the Man in the Iron Mask, Mr. Sabatini told his hearers that the established facts did not justify the profound mys- tery that existed and still exists over the identity of this unfortunate pris= oner, who had provided such writers as Voltaire and the elder Dumas with fascinating material, Nothing was known about this man except that, alter incarceration in a French frontier fortress a=" on the Island of Ste. Marguerite, a prisoner whose head was encased in a velvet hood was brought to the Bastile and there registered as Mar- chiclv, From this meagre informa- tion, Mr. Sabatini pointed out, have sprung the most preposterous leg- ends concerning Marchioly's true id- identity and the reason for the re- markable mask. In the legturer's opinion, this Marchioly was in re- ality a man named Matteoli, who had incurred the enmity of Louis X1V by treachery. The reason for th mask, ir Mr. Sabatini's opinion, was some sort of skin disease or other disfigurement, Mr. Justice Fabre Surveyer in- treduced Mr, Sabatini and Paul Le- vien, manager of Tudor Hall, thanked him at the end of his ad- dress, HOW TO HEAT AND MOISTEN ROOMS Temperature and Reletive Humidity Are Important Factors How to heat and moisten roonis so that they will be most comfort able either for work or for living is described in a recent publication of the Western Electric Company by F. H. Kruger, of the plan of that company at Hawthogne, Illinois near Chicago. Two important thines about home or office, Mr. Kruger explains, are the temperature and the relative humidity, the latter fig- ures depending both on the tempers ature and on the amount of water vapor in the air, A cubic foot of air can hold more water vapor at hich temperatures than at low. The relative humidity is he water vapor already in the air, figured as that the air can hold at the tem- n-rature concerned. Thus if the relative humidity is low the air takes up more water easily, perspire ation evaporates rapidly and the room is comfortable in hot weather. Too high a relative humidity, on the other hand, prevents the evapora~ tion of perspiration and causes the hot and sticky feeling which every- one recognizes as the effect of hu- mid days, The most comfortable and health- ful air temperatures for the majority of human beings are between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit, but the relative humidity should vary, Mr. Kruger points out, to suit which ever of these temneratures is used. At 68 degrees. for example, the mort comfortable relative humidity is about 65 per cent, but at 72 de- arees the relative humidity should be lower, probably about 30 per cent Too low a relative humidity in the air also is uncomfortable, But is common in American homes in win- ter. The average six room house in winter weathar oueht to he humidi- field, Mr. Kruger states, by the evaperation of between seven-tenths and nine-tenths of a gallon of water an hour. ps WILL MATCH MILADY'S GOWNS New Shades of Lipstick Latest in Make-up Notes Chicago~--Lips to match or har- monize with the gowns of a dozen new shades and artificial glue-ti~ned long sweeping eye lashes are the latest make-up notes, Watzhful cosmeticians saw early in the season that the lipsticks many women had been wearing as "their shades". quarreled with the new fall reds and wines, The out- ..1e was the recommendation that the lip rouge be determined by the color of the dress or accessories, and a half a dozen lipsticks are re- quired on a job formerly done by one. For the new wine tones a deep raspberry lip coloring is advised. Flame red in the dress or accessor- ies is matched exactly by flame red lipstick, This shade also goes with green and woodsy browns, white and black. For pastel evening shades an almost pastel red lipstick is the recommendation, Medium red is worn with black costumes by cither blonde or bru- nette, Lipstick with a tint of pur- plc compliments dark blue. For the new rust shades there are the light, medium and dark rust colored lip- sticks to match the dress exactly, Eye make up also calls for a range of eye shadows and mascaras.

GIRL, 11, WRITES CIRGUS MEMOIRS Rich Experiences Under the Big Top Described by Betty Boyd Bell Boston, Mass, -- Little girls have written poetry and even rhort stories, but as far as rec- ords go, Betty Boyd Bell, 11 years old, of Jamaica Plain, is the first little girl in New England to write a book of memoirs and have them published by a well- known publishing house. It is a bnck of reminiscences on circus life and, according to the hard- -from a child's point of headed editors who accepted the book for publication, Betty may find herself in the big money on the profits of this book. Betty is the daughter of Floyd Bell. a well-known circus press agent, and Betty was practically berry and brought up by eircus nevple --- acrobats, tumblers, clowns, aserialists and sideshow freuks. Bhe travelled over the entire continent for ten years of ber eleven-year life with the elr- cus folk and lived in winter quar- ters in Florida with them. A year ago her father decided that Eetty should have a regular edu- cation among normal children. she was sent to school in Boston and her family has settled here temporarily in order to give set- ty a home. But the little girl missed the circus life and she often talked about her experiences, Her fa- ther urged her to set down her stories of circus life on paper, so that her younger sister Barbara might become acquainted with he older sister's rich adventures under the Big Top. And so Bet- ty jotted down on paper these reminiscences which now appear in a regular size book under bright blue covers, with a red and ye)jlow jacket adorned with a photograph of Betty ana ner favorite elephant, Just as the little girl wrote them, these stories have heen published. Janet Mabie, a Boston newspaperwoman, acted as edi- tor, but she explained that she merely edited Betty's seript. For example, Betty tells how she met the President of the United States. The chapter head is: "I Meet the President." Another incident: "I remem- ber one day I was in Miss Lelt- zel's tent." And then, Betty tells about the end of Miss Lillian view. "Miss Leitzel was looking kind of dreamy and talking about things that' happened to circus people, and she looked out over the grounds and the. people work- ing around, and the smoke from the cook tent where the charcoal fires were, and she said: 'Some day that little rope of mine or the ring will break and that'll be the end of Leftzel." And, it did." The little girl tells her adven- tures, her reminiscences in a ¢imple way as one little girl would tell them to another. There is no attempt to appear grown-up, or sophisticated, al- though at times she appears to he what people call "an old fash- foned child." There is a certain wisdom that children who are around grown-ups possess, but it fs not the writing of an over- precocious child, As her father says, it is not the book of a child prodigy, but merely the observations of an average intelligent child with a great love of "the circus in her heart, who happened to have an unusual experience, PEACE DEPENDS ON FORCE OF WORLD PUBLIC OPINION Miss Dorothy Thompson Urges Women to Foster A Peace Mentality Montreal, Que, -- Whether the disarmament conference next Feb- ruary will meet with success or not depends in large measure on the force of world public opinion brought to bear on it, and it be- hooves women to do ell in their power in the meantime to foster a peace mentality, This was one of the points emphasized by Dorothy Thompson, an American journal- ist of wide experience, who ad- dressed the Montreal Women's Club here recently on "The Prob- lem of Peace." The lecturer, who in private life is Mrs. Sinclair Lewis, spent several years in Eur- ope as foreign correspondent of some American newspapers, Miss Thompson said it was no longer considered unpatriotic to call oneself a pacifist, But al- though the common attic de of the world "vas opposed to war, countries went on organizing for war rather than for peace, A total sum of five billion dollars was spent anuvally on war prepar- ations, Miss Thompson pointed out. The interest on this sum, it has been calculated, would pay the expenditure of the League of Nations, the World Court, and the International Labour Office-- the three mechanisms for peace-- for six hundred years, she said. Besides the cost in money there wag the loss to industry through the feeling of insecurity while much advanced legislation was Leld back for want of money, Mil- 'tary training was still going on in schools and colleges, which was not the way to develop a peace psychology, the lecturer thought, Scotland' first four-legged chicken to arrive in the last 100 vears has just been hatched on the farm of John Loughran near Kilwinping, in the Corsehill dis- trict. The freak was hatched from a very small egg, but is healthy and otherwise normal. Cutting through a log in B50 snconds, C. R.
