BALLOON OBSERVER
 TAKES TO PARACHUTE
Aerial Vehicle Cut .Adrift by German Shells, He Glides Gently to
 Earth,

Paris, March P, 5:05 q. m.--The parachute, with which all observers in French captive balloons have now been provided was given |. genuine test recently near Clermont, in the Argonne region. German shells had cut the ropes holding one of the larg- est of these balloons. It imm ediate- ly rose to a height of eleven thou sand feet and drifted toward the German lines. The watchers below saw the observer get out of the basket and launch himself into space. After a sharp drop the parachute opened and the observer reached the ground in safety, about 300 yards within the French line. The first sharp drop of about 15O feet, he later explained, was distinctly disagreeable, but after the parachute spread the descent was pleasant and was so gentle that. dur ing the twenty minutes which it lasted he was able to continue to take ob- servations of the movements in pro- gress beyond the German lines.

HIS DISGUISE FAILED.
Runaway Boy, 17, Loses Mustache in
 Excitement of EnIistino

Houston, Texas, March 22.-When 9 false mustache, with fierce bristling points, worked loose on the upper lip ofa John Homer, an applicant for en- nstment at the local United States Marine Corps recruiting station, it was discovered that Homer was a runaway, 17 years of age, and had hit upon the mustache disguise to add age and dignity to his appearance.
 But "crueI' Sergeant Robinson of the Marines shattered the boys TO- nance with the announcement that he'd have to wait until he was 21. or else get parents consent, and now young Homer is inclined to the belief that there is little efficacy in the bor- rowed movie plot when applied to life's stern realities.
 I'll come back some day with g. real mustache of my own and then you'll be glad to accept me as one of Uncle Sam's brave marines,' were HOmer's parting words.

THEY REFUSE TO EAT

~~~ V
 At periods in most childrens' lives theyfail to relish their meals and refuse to eat even the delicacies prepared to tempt their appetites. They lack am bition, and growth seems impeded, which causes anxiety and worry.
 To compel them to eat is a grave mistake, because nutrition is impaired. Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun- shine is important, but equally import ant is spoonful of Scott's Emulsion three times day to feed the tissues and furnish food-energy to improve their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen their appetites.
