Calls Fliers Deciding Element.
The absence or presence of an eff
Gent air force will be a deciding element
In hostile operations, and the command
er who is without such a force will be
greatly hampered from the outset of op-
erations. Information as to the location
and movements of an enemy are abso-
lutely essential to any commander. and
such information has been usually OBJ
tanned by the active use of cavalry In
contact with the enemy or by secret
service within his lines An efficient air
force will not only supplement. but anti
cipate the reconnaissance work of the
cavalry. and can penetrate miles beyond
the line of contact, provided II is not op-
posed by similar or better aircraft of the
enemy.
Leading military authorities have
agreed that the functions Of these new
war engines are fourfold-for reconnais-
sance, both strategecial and tactical; for
the prevention of reconnaissance on the
part of an enemy, for communication
purposes and for destructive action
against an enemy.

nation to recognize the possibilities of

MY LADY,S HANDS

There are many little ways by which
the hands can be taken care OF, although
daily domestic duties are carried through.
Begin the night before, and wash the
hands thoroughly with warm water and
good toilet soap. \ little oatmeal may be
used at the same time, tied in piece
of muslin. or put into the palm of one
hand, and used as soap. This removes
dirt very quickly without roughening the
skin. Pay great attention to the nails
and to the skin at the base. When quite
clean, rinse out every trace of soap or
oatmeal and dry thoroughly. Afterwards
rub in a simple emollent, and wear a
pair of old kid or chamois gloves, with
the palms pierced for ventilation, Dur
ing the day wear gloves when performing
any kind of rough work, and never, allow
the hands to remain wet or impcffectly
dried. stains are removed from the
hands with a piece of cut lemon or n
little vinegar and salt mixed. Pumice
soap tablet is useful thing for the same
purpose.
