One has a great deal of sympathy, says an Australian writer, with tie light-hearted daring of the French airman who soared but over Brussels, and, in. spite of ineffectual German attempts to bring him 'down, circled, the city, dropping hundreds of reassuring messages. So much any bravo and skilled man might have done, but the conclusion is entirely Frenoh, and entirely delightful. One can imagine the vociferous but ineffectual fury of the German officers, their heads bent back near suffooation • point, as they followed their aerial visitor's clever exhibition of upside-down flying, and roared out orders to their 'cannoneers.' To some the whole business may sound foolish and unnecessary. Perhaps it was unnecessary; perhaps upside-down flying is never exactly necessary. And yet many will feol that the existence of the devil-may-care mocking spirit typified by this sort of thing is in its way very fine. It reminds one, somehow, of the pinch of snuff, the polite and smiling bow, the dainty curtsey of the old French nobilitj; when they met at thoplaceof execution in the morning.

IT'S WHAT THE HUPMOBILE CAR DOES THAT COUNTS. Handsome nickel and dazzling Tarnien can cover a multitude of shortcomings .in a car—until you get out on a back-blocl, road. Then the pretty-pretty car of the city streets finds itself "up against it good and hard!" Bumps and jars and hard work test the cars quality—and undoi just such conditions the Huprnobile stands forth triumphant. Ample power, strength, resiliency, thoroughness in every detail of its construction—all combine to make the Hupp the "rightcst" car for the strenuous conditions of this country. In comfort and appearance it leaves nothing to wish for—graceful lines, perfect finish, and every convenience and i luxury that a modern car-owner desires.
