we had a good breakfast at a caffyterla, but i slid my waiter so fast, i picked out some things i diddent want; 1 am off of same from now on. It cost me c92 and I got up hungry. i had a hankesing to ketch some fish, so finally at last, my wife told me that I could go out on the eer and try my luck, a man loant me a fishing pole for c50 and sold me a pint of little mlnjiers for c3S. i fished for 3 hours and newer got a bite that i knowed of. the wind was from the east.

when I give up in dis-pair ot car-rjing off any fishes, I went back ti the man who hired me the tools, and 1 notLsed that he was using a dip-net to ketch mlnners with to fell to suckers like me, ann ever time he would bring it up, he would have about 5 pecks of same, i asked him how he expected a fish to bite my dead mlnners when they could eat live ones all around them, und he said "who said 1 expected that." If 1 ever go Into the fishing bit-nes sin flortdy I want to be the man what furnishes the poles and the mlnners and not the fool who thinka he can pull out a shad or a trout ever few mlnneta. but you can't get ahead of flortdy. when I got back to the toorist camp, my folks had done rode off and they newer come back till dark, ann then asked me where was the fish arid i said: "in the guff of mexlco, i reckon." we drove down to passer-grill the next morning and watched the folks go in a-washing on the beech, some of the girls actually went out Into the watter, but none of the good-looking ones ever tetched same, they all wallered around In the sand and sunshine and looked pretty, my wife pulled me sway from a crowd of the best lookjng wlm-men i ever saw. they had on Just about as near nothing as the 19 amendments would allow, vizzly, 32 which Is beerly nothing, if you will let me try to be funny. we decided thursday morning to drive over to tampy, flortdy, but we soon come to a told-bridge and the! man held us up and wanted cSS for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Washington, D.

And also these queer and weird looking trains which some of the blu rail-1 have nut on. built for sneed and all "with streamline effect. What is streamlining and why? An Interesting explanation of the general idea is given by L.

A. Peed, sales manager of one of the larger automobile concerns. Mr. Peed begins by pointing out that more efficient operation of vehicles of all kinds in all history has been the major problem in any form of transport. The cave man discovered, as Mr.

Peed reminds us, that his drag or as we might sur In this section hi slide, which was the grandfather of the slod. was easier for his pony to pull when the drag ended in a leafy branch that spread the weight, and. In this, he discovered the first principle of overcoming resistance. The spreadL branch, distributed the weight over a wider area so that the limb on which he carried his goods did not penetrate the ground lar enough to encounter any more resistance than that of being dragged over the earth. When the primitive savage discovered that, by trimming, the limbs off a lok.

he could make faster time In the water seated astride the trimmed log than he could make with several trees tied together in a raft, man again made a discovery in streamlining. What all were after was a reduction in resistance and it Is strange that automobile makers have been so slow to come around to the recommendations of engineers in this business of overcoming resistance. To overcome this 'resistance in part were the rubbor-Ured buggies before the automobile came, the high wheels to "clear" rails for railroad trains, ball bearings to reduce friction and many other contrivances to reduce the re sistance from -contact with the ground. And the-first automobiles built were built, on the same lines as the buggy and wagon. Changes came with.

thenars but not so radi cal in any period as after the de velopm ent of the airplane with the marvelous changes to overcome air resistance. By decreasing the re slstance of the air the planes could be made to carry more weight and with heavier motors weight was rwceasary to Strength. It Is extremely probable that 'in the next few years the general out side appearance and makeup of au tomobiles and railroad trains will be even more unusual than anything so far seen.
