Tabloid Aeroplanes.

The British reason, quite logically,
+nat the smaller the aeroplane and the
faster it can fly the less danger of its
being hit by shots fired from earth.
So the British airmen favor an unusu-
ally small machine, which they call
the tabloid. A very light frame is
fitted with an S0-horsepower motor,
which win drive the frail machine
through the air at the rate Of 100
miles an hour The engine is covered
with armor. The aviator seeking to
drop a bomb on the enemy approaches
his target at height of 5000 feet.
When straight above it, he turns the
nose Of his machine straight down and
drops at terrific speed. When within
500 feet OF the target he drops his
bombs as quickly as possible and then
shoots skyward at q tremendous pace.

Julia so.
"You are very beautiful" said the
Due de fremont to Miss Redmond, as

outer hallway of the building open on

When fremont, at luncheon a little

the Red Cross in her cabin with her
hat In her pretty blouse, her pearls
around her neck, the soft flush ON
her cheeks, she was apparently only

She leased her aunt gently, she
laughed very deliciously and lightly

opened bottle of champagne. The
Marquise d'Esclignac beamed upon
her niece. fremont found her more

One Of the most gratifying results
of the present war excitement in
Great Britain is the action of the
house of lords providing for a gen
eral strengthening OF the bridges
along the main roads OF motor traffic.
These bridges were mostly under the
management of the big railroad com
panies, and the heavy truck traffic
did not appeal to them enough to
cause them to expend either money
or labor in strengthening the bridges.
The heavy traffic in motor trucks for
the British war department has
brought the question of strong bridges
viudly before the people, and strong
pressure is being brought by the
courts, officials of the government
and the press on the railroads. The
result is that bridges are rebuilt all
ever the country.
