MIJNHEER FOKKER


declared to be German copies of the
French Gnome, though claimed to be
the Mercedes engine of POO horsepower.
The bullet proof deviators attached
to the blades of the Fokker. rendering
the machine almost immune from the
fire of the enemy, are said by the
French to be the invention of one of
their fliers, Garros who was captured
by the Germans in Flanders only
few months ago.
Fokker, apparently the guiding gen
ius in German monoplane activity. had
this bullet proof device on his ma
chimes which first attracted the atten-
ton of his adversaries last December.
During that month he and his assist
ants brought down sixteen British aero
planes without damage to their own
machines. The French loss is believed
to have been fully as large, although
statistics in this as in all French casu-
alties have been withheld from the
public.
The chief value of the FOkker is its
speed, this being over hundred miles
nm hour and exceeding by twenty-five
or thirty miles an hour anything which
the British or the French mOnOplanes
can accomplish, and FOkker himself
seems to be responsible for this unique
feature of his machine. The gun is
stationary. The tlier has only to steer
the mOnOplanc.
In action the FOlikcr rises swiftly to
great height. 1000 feet or more ana
above the air craft of the British and
French, and there it awaits the appear
ance below of the enemy. Then il
stands on its head ana dives, sending
down stream Of bullets which forms
cone. at the apex of which is its own
gun. The cylinder covers every inch of
the victims immediate area of escape.
Two men operate the steering gear.
and II passenger is apt to be found In
front working machine gun in those
cases when the Fokker is able to take
range directly behind its enemy, aim
ing then along a straight line which
covers the cnemy's pilot. engine and
tanks, destroying or injuring every
thing in one fusilade.
About five years ago Fokker made
his appearance in the German flying
corps, ana his first monOpane was re-
ceived with such small enthusiasm
there that the invention was offered to
the British government. Some English
experts examined IL, recommended II
as being uncapslzable, but so badly
constructed that ii made the flier's life
anything but secure: They therefore
declined 10 recommend its purchase by
Britain.
Nothing more was heard of Fokker
except in general way until his for
midable new monoplanes entered the
held last December.

Sure enough. Mr.. Blithers was OF
for New York soon after daybreak the
next morning. and with him went q

Count Quinnox looked to Truxton
King for inspiration. and that gentle
man favored him with a singularly
dispiriting nod of the head The old
Graustarkinn cleared his throat and
rather stiflly announced that he would
receive Mr.. Blithers if he would call
on him mt the Ritz that afternoon.

Tea exclaimed Calvert scornfuly.
"Blithers doesn't drink the stuff
IT'S figure of speech" said King
patiently.
"All right; I'll telephone" said the
other obviously.

with triumphant look in his eye.

he'll see him tomorrow morning at

count. an angry flush leaping to his

furiously. but checked himself with

that would come, sir!'
YES; it's the only way
"Well. be good enough to call him up
again and say to him that Tll-I'll see
him BANKED before I'll come to his

hour"

stalked out of the office. putting OH

'Do you imagine. sir. that I will re-
ceive him."
Certainly. Are you not a diplomatic"
asked King.

count, and his scowl was an indication
of absolute proficiency in the science.
"And, what's more" went on King
refiectively. lit wouldn't in the least

Christmas Dinner
In Dixie

In a certain story Of Henry James
lie tells of being in a room of "beauti
full omissions" and to many dining
tables Of today. among both the rich
and poor, the same term could be ap
piled so far as food is concerned, but
to the Christmas dinners Of my clear.
est recollections It would not properly
apply, says Kate Langley Bosher. the
we'll known author. in the New York
Times.
Ours was large family, and always
there were guests and relatives to dine
with US. In consequence the table was
enlarged to the limit of It's capacity
and reached from one end Of the din
ing room to the other. In the center
was bowl Of holly whose berries
cleaned in the light which fell upon
them, and at both head and foot of the
table large. an imposingly large. and
consequential turkey which had long
been preparing for his fate lay ready
for his sacrifice. Today two turkeys
seem scandalously unnecessary In the
yesterdays they were not considered so
On one side Of the holly berries was
Smithfield ham baked to q brown
ness that was indeed alluring; on the
other. round Of spiced beef whose
fragrance made waiting difficult. Sour
and fish on Christmas day were al
ways dispensed with.
Oysters only were served while the
carving was being done, and when the
latter was sufficiently advanced to per
NIT 1t was with right good will and ap
petites made ready by the close appea,
of celery and cranberries and home
made pickles and crisp corn bread and
vegetables of all sorts and kinds that
thanks were given for another reunit
ing and for Gods great gift to man
and all in the household went merrill,
to work.
When dessert was served the table
was again laden with a variety that
now seems prodigally wastefui of
things called sweet and surely Of a
tempting not to be resisted. Plum
pudding with its burning brandy perk
lily insisted that It be tried first, then
pies OF luscious filing and golden
jelly or perhaps Of rich red, accord
ing to the wine with which It was
made. Fruits and nuts and raisins
kept the children busy. and when at
last the table was left it was with q
silent prayer from some that penalty
be not exacted for the misdeeds Of tho
flesh.

In advance Of its using. As appetizer>
either served the purpose we'll, but 1t
was not as appetizers that they were
taken.
The average southerner takes then,
because he likes them He thinks them
very good. ana Christmas comes bu,
once in o long. long year! But OF
course others may disagree with him
as to their use and he has no quarrel
With the OIL hers.
