Some of the Hulls Are as Big as the Engines That Drive Them. Btotor boating need te be a poor man’s Teereation. ‘There used to be a time when @ motor Beat was & thing you went out in every @un@ay with the family and didn’t have to row home—if you were lucky, The Motor boat was something with a sine Imed space under the seat next the too! compartment and away from the ex- heust. That compartment yielded up rare cooling draughts when you had set the women ashore. There were times, and often, toe, when you never did get started; when you bent over the dinky engine, cranking the flywheel till the fun made your head boll and spotied your alm when you heaved a monkey wrench at the volunteer brigade on the stringpiece offering first afa. That was when they had motor boats. Now they're power craft. You hire @ despor dent French aviator and etrap him down in a mon! seat, with his foet on braces lest he shove them through the hull. @ome one—your other attendant probably—turns the fly- wheel and the poor aviator Je lost in a cannonade of emoke, report and flame from thirty or forty exhaust pipes sticking in his face, Then you stride up and down the veranda of the yacht club with a lot of other sportsmen, in white flannels, peering through @ spysiass to see if you can distinguish your property from the rest of the Black Hand bombs, If your chauffeur or aviator returns alive, congratulate him warmly. Should he win, the company that built the en- gine will take him away from you and pose him for the movies. In elther case, thoysh, you are satisfied, having done a Pleagant afternoon's motor boating. The next time will probably be the last you eam use your power craft, but you can always remove the engine and get a new paxteboard, box with @ steering wheel. Should Your Frenchman throw the wheel over suddenly and swim to the surface looking around for your craft, telegraph the hulldera to hurry along another with less beam and more engine. Or go up to the Motor Boat Show tn Medion Square Garden, PEST POWER CRAFT ARE ON EXHIBITION. They have some of the finest power craft in the world on exhibition, in fact it xeems to be a power craft show until you wander around « while and come across a few motor boats looking rather forlorn in the midst of so many aristocratic speed craft. And up in the miidle of the floor you ‘will mect Fred Lawley, languidly show- fog a dig, stanch motor boat to @ pros Dective purchaser. Frod, who Is a son of the famous shipbuilder, George Law- Jey of Hoston, is mare used to building yaéhts and confesses he knows more about them than power boats, While talking he is abetractedly drawing plans af @ boat which from the width of beam alone would tell you was not in the least & power craft, ‘Don't ask me about the motor boat situation," he implores. “I'm showing @n engine we're building for auxiliary yachts, and of course for motor boats, But motor boats are not bothering me, ‘Thie a the bigest yeur for yachts we) ever had. Mf seeins poople aro going back to the yacht with an engine, You know, about five years ago business dropped to almost nothing when tho automobile craze was on. But sow the yacht fever has taken hold again.” “Ie the motor boat @ poor man's eport?’’ he was asked. “Bure, 1f you get a motor boat,” Be replied. Over at the Mullins exhibit there were motor boats. One little fellow could be bought for $160. It made of st und had air tanks to keep it from ing im case of accident for eale around $400, and comfortavle looking. “Ie this a poor man's boat?’ the ine terviewer asked C. C. Gibson. “Bure thing,” eaid Gibson. “It wouldn't cost ten dollars for repairs all soason in one of these boats. Even the $1,000 kind which we show could be run every Sun- @ay and the expenses for gasoling, ull and everything should not exceed over $200 for the season.” ‘The same iden prevailed at the Toppan Company exhibit, whero there were power dories on view that’ could take the family out for a day or haul a trawl on the Grand Banks with equal certi- tude. Down at the Charles H. Seabury Com- pany section C, G. Amory, son the company's president, was in charge. He believes the poor man “was not satisfied with @ emall boat that must take the wash of every craft going.” MOTOR BOATMEN WANT SOME- THING FAST, THESE DAYS. “They want something fast,” he said. “Autos educated them to expense and now with the return to motor boating they are Willimg to pay more. The en- @ines are much more costly too, Look @round and see." ‘rue enough. For instance there was the Mandard engine. wel wer make them as small a rae power,” said W.

They have left something out of consideration. Consideration has only thirteen letters in it, but there are 100,000,000 things left out of consideration by 100,000,- persons in these Unit States every hour of the day, A whole system called Logic was started—maybe by Aris- totle—and built up and added to bd a legion of philosophers in the last 1,000 years just to prevent pas, leaving things out of consideration, but they keep on doing it just the same. And yet it can’t be got ral of. The more things that are left out of con- sideration, the stronger and bolder it stands; because in any question to reach an exact conclusion everything must be taken into consideration, It is, for instance, pot pr ir to infer that John D.
