Sunday was a blessed day at Zion.
The pastor spoke in the morning from
the subject, AN Irreparable LOSS.
The discussion was most helpful In
the evening was given stereopucon
lecture from the "Beatitudes.' There
was great congregation present.
Every Sunday evening during the
summer season the stereoptlcon Will
be used instead of the sermon. Ihe
Young PEOPLES Chorus will sing. Spe-
cially prepared solos and duets, Illus
trated by stereopticon, will be a dis
tinct feature of each service. DO not
fail to be present.
The Chorus Recital on last Thurs
day evening was great success. 1he
young people were heard at their very
best and the great audience went wild
with applause. The receipts from the
evening was dollar or two less than
one hundred.
Next Thursday morning the Zion
annual picnic will leave for Dome
Rock. This is the outing event OF the
season There is none 'just as good
There is distinctly zion character TO
our annual outings which makes them
be remembered with pleasure. There
is a reason! The program of games

the shape and shadows of it are quite
different.
'They fly above the bursting shells
and the tumult of war, but hear moth
ing Of it unless they come down very
low, for the humming Of their engine
is greay song in their ears.
'But they hear the 'Archies,' which
make the puff clouds above them, and
sometimes, but not often, the scream OF
great shells going by them. A friend
of mine had queer and frightful case
Of this not long ago.
''He was flying fairly low when he
saw coming straight for him three
quarters of a ton of metal, in the
shape of a shell, and heard it's whining
note and was tossed as though in
rough sea by the rush of the wind it
made. 1t was a shell from one of our
15-inch Grannies, and this pilot who
met it on it's way within 100 yards was
annoyed for the moment with the gun
ners below, who had not worried about
the bird in the sky, which was my
friend.
"They are humorous, keen, sensitive
men, these air pilots of ours, and
though some of them are very musical
they do not disdain other joys Of life,
like dinner in some good dining place
behind the lines when 'dud day
makes flying off And for some of us
not of the air it is better than ban
quet to see these flying men and to
hear them building castles in the air
and telling tales more wonderful than
those of fairy lore"

FIX UP FRACTURED JAWS
Remarkable Work Being Accomplished
by American Dentists in
France.

London.-The work accomplished by
they founded their great military hos
pital at the Lycee PaSteur and opened
it as "a gift to humanity" is bearing
good fruit. In those days military sur
gerry was comparatively young sub
ject, but even then the keen judgment
of the American dentists-nOtable that
of Doctor Hayes-showed them how
great a part dental and jaw injuries
were likely to play in the war and
how essential it was that these should
be properly treated.
The jaw may be broken, a piece of
bone may actually have been smashed
out Of it. The loss of that piece of
bone, that tooth socket, can only have
one result if left untreated-defOrmity
of q permanent character. Many Of
these cases are now in existence. One
of them was so bad that the defOrmity
constituted threat to breathing. The
French, like the Americans, have not
been slow to recognize these facts as
Tile WOIh I'll DOCLOI II Icy dL thC AA-AC-
Grace shows.
The dentist comes upon the scene
with a difficult task in front of him.
For he has to devise methods Of keep
ing the broken portions of the jaw in
correct position, correctly spaced from
one another, until such time as nature
is about to bridge the gap, and all the
time he has to work against the ten
dency of the mouth to infect his work
and ruin it.
But the problem can be solved, and
il is being solved. The work of the
Americans at the Lycee Pasteur and
of the French have proved this, and
if further proof be needed the exhibi-
ton of plates and dentures at present
being held here at the Royal Society
of Medicine furnishes it. The pic
lures from Paris and elsewhere of men
before and after treatment are elo
quent testimony.

Then, senor," said the general,
there can be but one person who
knows about the stone. Either one OF
the ladies must have seen the stone
when it was in your tent, or else
which is, of course, unbelievable
one of them has taken it"
"NO-nO!"
The voice suddenly rose to shrek;
the Mexican captain raised his hand
to guard his leader from the blow that
he thought was coming. Kynaston
dropped his hand
Someone in your camp must know
the matter. Doubtless If any man en-
tered your tent while the ladies were
in your camp they have seen him. A
note to Senor Upton that / will send
by an officer will discover the mat
ter. You can tell him with perfect
truth that if the jewel is not restored
your life will pay the forfeit
Wherever it is found? Do you
mean, general, if for instance should
be able to prevail upon this blind

leased?"
"Si-si! But mark, I must have
the stone in my hands before safety
is promised to SenOr Upton"
A lieutenant had entered with a
hasty report which he whispered in
the ear of his commander in chief, and
had handed him paper. A pleased
smile stole across Obispo's face as he
read it aloud:
It is permitted to announce that tonight
the gallant General Villa will make an
attack on the American army. The gal
liant general will himself lead but small
force in this first attack, and will then
await re-enforcementS.
You will therefore join the main force
at Palomas by tomorrow evening. The
gallant General Villa refuses to disclose
his plans, but says he will be in Ell Paso
within two weeks.
Kynaston could hardly believe his
ears. Was Villa really to attempt an
invasion of the States? What could
such move mean but war, the war
he was sacrificing himself to avoid
The army must be advised, but how:
A murmur of approval from those
in the room had greeted the reading
The Benson signal., 1916-09-16

of the message After a moment
Obispo turned to him again.
IF you wish to live, gringo," he said,
''see to it that my messenger takes a
letter from you to the house Of Senor
Upton this night"
ObispO waved his hand in dismissal
and Kynaston was escorted back to
the little adobe house where paper and
pens were brought him. For few
moments Kynaston sat, tapping his
teeth with his penholder, thinking
over the situation, revolving in his
mind what he wanted to tell Upton
and how he should tell it. For he had
never get by his censors If they should
understand it; and his censors, more
over, would be everyone in camp who
could read.
He finally concluded not to attempt
to tell Upton of the intended attack
by Villa, but to confine his efforts to
intimating how an escape from the
house might be made with the ma
chine. After a few meaningless intro
ductory sentences he wrote:
I am told that the accusation is made
against me that T have taken or con-
cealed the priceless Emerald Bell which
we captured when we took the federal
party prisoners.
OF course you know that I know moth
ing Of it. I am told further that, if it is
restored, or positive information is given
which will. lead to its restoration. I will
be released.
AS to the repairs to the automobile that
we spoke of. I would take the machine
at once tc the United States, as no re-
pairs can be made here. You must take
the machine at once as the delicate
mechanism will ruin If kept here more
than ten-I wish l could write hours. If
you know anything about the jewel send
word. I am firmly convinced that the old
priest who has turned up here either has
it or knows where it is.
You can see what they are saying
about me across the border. They accuse
me Of having stolen the accursed Bell.
cannot imagine where it can be unless
the old priest has taken 1t. OF course
he has, but equally Of course he will new
er acknowledge 1t.
I fear that If they shoot me l will have
lost more than my life, for this attack
on my honor will leave rne in worse case
