Remarkable Feat Of One

that Of average lay minds" writes a
British military expert from the front.

This enlarged perspective has ex-
tended. though to a less degree, to the
soldiers in the trenches, to whom the
antics Of an airplane. OF squadron Of
airplanes, have long since ceased to
be q novelty. But sometimes an un-
dednable touch of "class' about the
manner in which a pilot handles his
machine Immediately attracts the at
tention Of the men below, and the
whole trench here will be filled with
eager and observant spectators watch
Ing his every manoeuvre.
Every plane coming up from the

pilot In turn seems conscious Of what
ts expected Of him, and the more
cheerfully takes his risks among the
ARCHER because 1t provides the tired
trench-dweller with a little mild
Amusement.
"one such pilot existed just at the
time when the Germans introduced
their much over-rated Fokker. This
type Of machine, and the tactics evolv-
cd with 1t, certainly scored an initial
success against some British airmen.
But improved planes are constantly
being brought out, and each side has
machines inferior to the later enemy
planes. When the two types come in
to conflict, the odds are naturally in
favor Of the better machine. Suprem-
acy in the air, however, depends more
on the skill and resourcefulness of
the pilot. than On the quality Of the
airplane he flies, and 1t is to such re-
s%ourceful men that the British owe
their u~ndentable supremacy of the air.
q supremacy often challenged, but
never broken, v when for the time
the Germans have had the better type
Of machine.
"The fame of the pilot mentioned
was not confined to any particular
sector. Tho whole line knew of his
exploits. His name was never men,

France in every rest camp, village and

SO successfully, and the old-fashioned
English heavy draught horse make
the most ~serviceable artillery horse.
From the beginning Of the war to
date, the supply Of all types of horses
has been too small to permit us to be
ultra critical as to type.
THE usefulness of the horse is not
confined to artillery and cavalry. The
pack horse, though occupying a more
humble position. is none the less indis-
pensable. Munitions. food and water
are carried by him into regions where
the motor cannot penetrate.
Haig Likes Cavalry.
"As to the cavalry horse. Today,
the line may be said to, be one vast
trench from the channel to Switzer-
land. Consequently the cavalry at
present cannot be used for flank
movements, formerly one Of its chief
detectives. In rapid movements to
assist in the capture Of villages and to
hold them until reinforcements are
supplied. the cavalry is quite frequent

French and German governments
have spent many millions. the supply

GET BACK TO NATURE.
Live the Simple Lie and Win Health
and Happiness.

aHo VaPPtHeses
The movement to return to nature
and simple life is the solution offered
to the high cost Of living problem, but
health experts and enthusiasts have
found 1t to be the only way Of right
living or healthful living known today.
They have adopted it as a safe road to
health. They say that return to ma
ture means good digestion, sound sleep,
a clear head, a placid mind. content
ment and JOY to he alive.
But first, they say, 1t means getting
close to nature-living out of doors as
much as possible by working. playing
and resting In the open air and. above
all, by sleeping in the open air. "Out.
door sleeping is the best life preserver
known" 1t means also going to the
garden and orchard for your bill OF
fare-tomatoes. lettuce, celery. spinach
turnips, beans, corn. peas, melons. Der
ries, apples, peaches, plums and all
other fruits and green stuffs untouched
by fire.
The real value Of adopting the sim
pie life, according to the health ex
perts, lies in the pleasure we find in
living it. To do it grudgingly or with
out knowing and approaching its bene
fits We botch 1t and fail, but to love

Children are carefree and merry
and seem not to notice much that
passes before them, but they see
deeper into life and people than we
realize. They study expression; they
weigh motives; they judge and hon-
or or despise their elders according
to their deserts. For better or for
worse each child is being educated
by his home surrounding and is re-
ceiving the indelible stamp that de-
velops into the stable character of
manhood. If the atmosphere of the
home is cruel, cold, critical, deceit
full, vulgar, ignoble-so will the
child be who breathes and grows in
the atmosphere. If the character of
the home is kindly, gentle, sincere,
honorable, truthful, charitable and
high-minded-so will the children
be. 1t is difficult to believe, but we
really are known by our children.
1t is not what We say, it is not what
we wish others to think of US. but
what we really are, that is discerned
by the clear eyes Of childhood.
