Mamma"

The report that British airmen
dropped $4,000 pounds of food on Kut-
ei-Amara before the garrison surren-
dered. inevitably suggests the Biblical
reference to mama from heaven. The
notion of the Arabs that mamma was q
dew deposited on the leaves of shrubs
is a reminder that the phenomenon of
honey dew on the leaves of the elm is
to be found in the United States. It
may be observed on hot and dry days
in August. The upper surfaces of the
leaves become vanished with q solu-
BILE sweet gum which hardens in the
sun. The Persians gather a kind of
mama from q leguminous plant by
shaking its branches or picking the
leaves and beating them gently over
a cloth when dry. Throughout Persia
and Afghanistan mama is harvested
from different trees and shrubs. 1t ID
eaten as q sweetmeat and is exported
to India. But the mama of com.
merce. obtained from q small tree
known as the mama ash, comes chief
ly from Sicily.

Miss Violette Wilson, daughter of ].
Stitt Wilson, the former mayor of

While serving % Q stan motor

the city Of Ypres. at the beginning Of
the bombardment preceding the sec

Robinson in the Atlantic Monthly. We
were at the farther side of the city
when the shells began to fall. and as
we had come up on horses there was
no way for us to get through. hunted
round and presently came across a car
"A wretched specimen; still, 1t could
be called a car. 1t had once been an
ambulance, but the body had been de-
stroyed and replaced by a couple Of
rough bucket seats built from bacon
boxes.
Such as it was. it was q lucky find.
difficulty got the engine running halt
ingly, and brought the car round to
where my officer was waiting. We
started off Immediately. BY this time
the shells were bursting in and around
the Grande place at the rate Of forty a
minute, and our chance of getting
through at all was long one. worked
up speed as fast as could, so that by
the time we got to the square we were
doing between thirty and forty miles
an hour.
In the square itself conditions were
indescribable. The buildings were
crumbling on all sides; the air was
filed with smoke and flame and dust,
to say nothing Of flying fragments Of
shell and bricks, and it was impossible
to see more than few yards ahead. 1t
seemed incredible that we could get
through. l slackened speed.
My officer must have felt much as I
did. but he raped out. Drive like
hell!" and huddled down into his
bacon-box seat, his head held low. l
threw open the throttle; the car
choked q bit, then responded with q
leap, the steel-studded tires striking
streams of sparks from the cobbles
My hands were more than full with the
steering. AS one leaves the square
there comes q very sharp turn, and I
dared not think what would happen
when we reached this. At the speed
we we're going, it was impossible to
twist the car round that corner. yet
it would be suicide to slow down. I
had read of the trick of racing drivers,
who skidded round ''hairpin turns"
and / decided to try this as our only
chance.
The turn doomed up before us in the
smoke, and l opened the throttle still
wider. Just as we reached the corner
twisted the wheel slightly and
damned on the foot-brake with all my
might. The skidding studs squealed
as the rear end Of the car shot over:

wheels came OF the ground. She
righted at once. though, and in a mo-
ment We were safely through. II /

box seats l don't think l should have
dared to carry out my little maneuver.
1t Is still a mystery to me how they

After graduating from Battle Creek
I came East with a patient and finally
to New York and Bridgeport, where
have been since. But always l have
wanted to get back. Always l have
watched for ships that would surely
touch at Pitcairn. In the meantime
my people there have gone on much as
they always have, living their beauti-
full lives. There is no money in cir
culation there, none of the crimes Of
the big outside world, no intoxicants,
and though they raise tobacco no one
smokes. There is no discussion Of
suffrage arguments because women
have always voted. I/have seldom
heard from them; it was over q year
the last time that waited for letter
from home, and they waited for ship
to come and get it. One of the few
letters brought me news of the death
of the young man to whom / was en-
gagged. When the Panama canal was
opened it promised a short cut to the
island, with the probability that some
ships would land at my home, and
determined to go. But recently, when
l had made plans, there came slide
in the canal and l have been waiting
now for that to be cleared.

Although the young man to whom
she was engaged is dead, and there

men there, she admitted when deny
