Above the Clouds

A Hungarian officer, describing the
fighting on the Tyrolese mountain
peaks, mile above sea level, states
that the most difficult problem for the
staff is to maintain the supply of food
to the troops. On account of the
high altitude and the continuous
physical strain they need good sWp.

many of hese never return. Touching
on the remarkable echoes thrown
back by the mountain peaks, the Off
Ger says:
The roar of the guns IS heard
twice, thrice, or perhaps a dozen
times, the echo throwing the sounds
back and forth, and transforming a
single report into a fusillade. MANY
of our men have been rendered un-
conscious or even driven mad by the
fearful noise of the guns in the rari-
fled atmosphere Of these high alti-

we were wandering about without a

we rode toward the sound and soon
saw the fires OF the encampment of an
Arab chief who had been driven in
from the desert by the drought.
On one side of an open square a
large fire was blazing at the mans
end OF the most spacious OF the low
black tents. The intermittent blaze.
fed by dry weeds Of the desert. lighted
up a slab of limestone bearing the
rudely scratched insignia of the
tribe OF Benz Sakr. We dismOuated
silently, as men do in a land where no
one knows whether those whom he
meets are enemies or friends. The
Arabs, grouped cross-legged or a-squat
around the blaze, said nothing, but
the chief men rose and motioned to
us to be seated, while the others
moved to places OF less honor A
quilt was brought TO spread on the
coarse wOolen rugs, and another was
rolled up for me to rest my left elbow
on.
II was only after We we're comfort
able that conversation slowly began.
While We talked servant. on signal,
brought out the coffee tongs-two
spoons Of iron chained together and
having handles Is inches long Green
coffee beans We're placed on the larger
spoon, which was about six inches in
diameter, and were held over the fire
TO roast. The other spoon, only an
inch in diameter, was used to stir the
beans and prevent burning, When the
coffee was roasted the slow process of
grinding began
The grinder evidently felt that his
work was of great importance ana
should be done artistically. Each
stroke of the great wooden pestle was
accompanied by a double click on the
side of the deep wooden mortar Then
the coffee was boiled, first in one
backened copper pot with a long
straight handle, and then in another.
Finally the grinder tasted it. Then the
cups two in number, began to circu.
late. Each man was served with only
two or three swallows of the strong
black fluid, hut the cups were passed
TO the chief men several times.
As they sip the black unsweetened
coffee, the desert prince and his com
panions talk not only of prices and
OF the doings of their great ones, but
tried to make me understand how they
and their people fought with the gov
ernment not many years ago. The
chiefs eyes were so fierce and his ges-
lures so violent that began TO think
he was really getting angry. why
does the government take taxes for
even our coffee from poor Arabs who
come from the desert in time of
drought?' he asked. Have not the
Arabs the right to feed their flocks
wherever there is grass? Some day
soon the soldiers will see what my
people will do.'-From Palestine and

On March of this year they seized

and Charles Carboue, in the act of
setting off second bomb in St. Pat
ricks cathedral The capture was
most dramatic, being made in the
midst of a church service. The po-
lice had been stationed all over the

guised as scrubwomen and others as
ushers. A young detective who had

Flowers for Summer liable.

1t is so easy, in the country, TO
keep the house charming with fresh
fowers-and any number of vases full
will cost nothing at all. If you have
not garden of your own-and there
seems no reason why every woman
should not have tiny garden at least
if her country domain admits of space
to grow them in-the field flowers will
answer almost as well. Glover makes
an enchanting bouquet, goldenrod is
delightful in brown and yellow living
room or in great jars on the porch. The
lovely blue gentians, and blue road
side asters are equally charming in
slender glass vases. A bit of wire
netting fitted into the top of a low fern
dish will make it possible to use small
flowers to good advantage on the
breakfast table. Pansies are lovely
used in this way. Nasturtiums or
sweet peas will make a bed of glowing
color if the stems are thrust through
the wire netting of such receptacle.

this character in the Washington
Heights residence section.
Anarchist bombs are usually more
spectacular than those of blackmail-
ers. Churches, courthouses, the resi-.
dences of men of wealth and position
are their targets. A bomb was found

mansion upon Fifth avenue a few
weeks ago All well-to-do citizens are
being forced to employ bodyguards.
In the fine districts east of Fifth ave
nue. the dwellers on block often club
together to hire an armed night pa
troll. This is protection against bur-
glars, but the growing danger of the
bomb crank has caused the guards to
increase in number.
Only an insignificant percentage of
bomb crimes result in arrests and
convictions of the perpetrators. Plant
ing bomb seems about the safest of
outrages. The bomb itself is almost
always so shattered that the fragments
are useless as clues.
Even where the bomb does not ex.
plode it is seldom useful as evidence.

the fuse of a bomb sputtering under
bench in the Tombs police court

and grabbed the bomb, which had
only three inches of fuse visible, and
started for the doorway He tried to
rub the fuse out, and falling in that,
he jerked the insulated fuse from it's
fastening in the heart of the explo-
siye. The bomb consisted of two
pounds of mixed black and smokeless
powder and about thirty loaded car.

OConnor's quickness and pluck

Sea sleds are the latest craft to be
considered by the United States navy
for coast defense work. The navy is
experimenting with half-motor boat,
half-hydr which neither
flies over the water nor cuts through

Modern Milk
Station for Beach

Beach will soon have a modern
milk station. Albert Schouboe,
who is now conducting big
milk business, has let the con-
tract for a cooling house at his
dairy establishment and by the
18th of April all milk delivered
will be cooled by running water.
The building to be used for
this purpose will be constructed
of brick, a two wall structure with
air space between. and cement
floor. Running water will be sup
piled and fresh milk will be plac-
ed in the bottles and then al
lowed to stand in the running
water until all animal heat is
removed. This is done before
the bottles are sealed which means
hat the milk will keep many
hours longer especially in the
aummer months.
When these improvements are
made at the Schouboe dairy es-
tablishment it will be one of the
best of its kind in the state.
