They are the first sign of a change in the physique of the race greater than any in history. They are a revelation and a revolution.

You can see them everywhere-in crowded streets and in playing fields, in drab manufacturing towns and in the sedate stolidity of Kensington. The public schools, boarding schools, and high schools are turning them out by the thon- aand. Their clothes are differently cut according to the parents' means, but their air is the same.

We are heirs to the world," says their wälk.".

The pilot of the machine, Flight Lieutenant A, H. C. A. Rawson, explained that the rotor blades, or rotating wings, can be made to revolve at 95 revolutions a minute while the machine is standing still.. Usually they are started moving by. a gentle push of the hand. Then the pilot raises both the tail plane and the elevator until they form a vertical wall, so to speak, and de- flect tho slipstream from the engine upwards on to the rotor blades. The machine is then taxied for ward, and as it moves the speed of the rotors goes up to 140 revolutions a minute, and at that speed they will lift the machine into the air. When in full flight they normally increase their speed to 160 revolu- tions a minute.

A thirtyish man or woman feels old and useless when he looks into their eyes. They seem to see so many miles ahead of anything that has gone before.

There seems to be a gap of generations between them and their parents. They do not re- member the war.

The usual way of landing is to approach the aero- drome at about 40m.p.h., and when about twenty feet or less off the ground to pull up the nose until the machine loses flying speed and settles down on its undercarriage. It has then virtually no tendency to rua forward, but there are wheel brakes to stop it if it does.

They still have the physique of young animals. Their perfect health -health such as their mothers never hoped for-is a reproach to every taint in our modern life.

Even their features are finer, for the gods were in a reckless mood when they formed them, and gave them beauty as well as health.

Nothing could be lovelier than their smites or clearer than their eyes. There is poetry in every movement of every muscle,

PARROT FEVER SCARE.

ACTION AGAINST HYSTERICAL TALES.

[UNITED PRESS.]

New York, February 12.-With 16 deaths from parrot fever" thus far reported in the United States, including several investigating scientists, public anxiety has been aroused and there has been a cor- responding repercussion on the re- tail bird business.

This was disclosed when the Bird Dealers Association of America, declaring it acted to stop unwar- ranted hysteria and correct false impressions,' suggested to the American Medical Association that it should caution physicians to prove bacteriologically suspected cases of psittacosis before publicly announcing a diagnosis,

A voluntary embargo has been placed on parrots by the Associa- tion, supplementing the legal em- bargo recently placed by Congress on further importations.

Dr. Bastianelli, professor of tropical diseases at Tulane Univer- sity, New Orleans, has been asked by the Association to write an opinion as to whether human beings can contract the true psittacosis.
