LIKE AJAX AND ACHILLES
for as Much as 1t Did in Days
of Ancient Greece.

Individual prowess counts for as
much as it did in the days of ancient
Greece, Waldemar Kaempffert writes
in McClure's. Names will stand out in
the history of this war like those of
Ajax and Achilles in the epic of Ho-
mer. Lieutenants Immelmann and
BOelke on the German side have
brought down nine and ten adversaries
in mortal combat Their exploits are
tinged with q chivalric glamour which
seems anything but modern.
When Boelke landed to aid an enemy
whom he had wounded he was greeted
with the comment: "Since it is I'm
melmann who beat me, / am satisfied"
When the German replied that it was
''Only Boelke," the interchange of COM
pliments seemed like parley between
Hector and Ajax.
The analogy between Hofner's battles
and twentieth century aerial combats
extends even, to the vehicles used.
What is a flying machine but the an
cient war chariot soaring on wings? In
many uH SuCOuHIST IWO Hliu IldCiIuSS
still battle for supremacy-one man
an observer, the other pilot. The OBJ
server is the fighting hero of old, WELD
ing machine gun instead of a sword !;
the pilot his faithful charioteer.
Carry the analogy still further and
consider how much is at stake when
battle plane meets battle plane. The
fate of an ancient army depended on
a prince in his war chariot; the fate
of any army corps now hangs on the
information Cleaned by victorious
flier.

close enough to a tree or the fence to caress but
not offend it. A favOrite trick of make of
California tractor is to turn completely around
on an ordinary railroad flat car. When con-
elders the width of these cars the feat is
markable one. If all else fails, the machine
can get a job in circus -contortiOnist
One of the odd uses to which tractors are put
is that of clearing land for cultivation. On the
virgin fields of Canada the ranchers found the
new land to be thickly covered with tough brush
and young trees, forming dense mat, to clear
which by hand seemed formidable task. A
tractor owner rugged up sort of summer snow
pillow" made of two sharp blades at the bottom
and number of steel rods placed horizontally
over V-shaped frame that ran to height of
four or five feet. By fastening this contrivance
ito the front of his tractor, and by bucking the
forest growth as he would snowdrift, the brush
was cut off close to the ground and thrown to
one side and burned. Later the same tractor
went over the ground with a gangplow and
cut out all the roots and turned up the soil for
planting.
The tractor on the farm has come to stay, and
the up-to-date farmer will find it hard to get
along without one as wife, and much easier to
get along with.
