And, speaking ofwindmills, it may be casually interestingto know that a number of students ofaeronautics are endeavoring to solve theproblems of aerial navigation throughthe development of a device known as ahelicopter, which consists of a pairof wind-mills, so to speak, or propellers,which are arranged to operate in a hori-zontal, rather than vertical plane. However, aside from the sport involvedin experiment, and the limited uses towhich air craft may now be put formilitary purposes, it may be stated thatwe are still far from attaining a develop-ment of aeronautics in which the averageman will be able to traverse the broadspaces of the air as do our Heiene W« Johnstone. The Sacredness of the Home TO WHAT EXTENT SHOULD DIVORCE LAWSBE PERMITTED TO INTERFERE WITH ORPERVERT THE TRUE OBJECT OF THE HOME ? By Heiene W. Johnstone Here is an article that presents a view of the divorcequestion that is unusual.
