PERsHlNG GOES IN

Gen. Pershing observed the brilliant
French drive on the Aisne front for a
while from an observing post Then
he proposed to go into the trenches
and, under fire, he proceeded as far as
the second line Of German trenches
All in the days work, Pershing would
say. All the same, it isn't out OF the
way to say that every man in the
American army and, we hope, in the
American nation, will like to read OF
that characteristic incident. There
WASH any bravado about it. The gen.
eral wanted to. see things, and we
gather from Black Jack Pershing's re-
cord that when he wants to do a
thing he does it. Without undue es'
innate of the case, we like to think
that that is the sort of man who is 60
ing to put Old Glory on the firing
line. There isn't private in the
ranks that would put his life into the
scale more unhesitatingly, when duty
calls than the man who is now to
wear the title of Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan. Also let us remember that
there are plenty more like him in the
army and that, however much there
Is in the new technique OF fighting
for our American officers to learn,
the men they lead can be certain that
they will follow men of cool courage
and unflinching devotion. The Amer
lean army is just being born, or we
would better say, born again. 1t is
far from perfect now, but who that
knows the stuff it is made of, will
doubt that it will be in due time-and
soon-as great an army in high spirit
and devotion as the sun ever shone
upon? --Chicago Tribune.

THIS WAR OF sciENcE-MULTi
ENGINE PLANES. .s.

Reference was made in the Review
columns some days ago to military
advantage to be gained from the big
|airplanes now being built, which will
carry. one to three tons explosives.
Many experts also strongly advocate
the idea of multi-engine planes, or
planes fitted up with several motors
each.
Anyone who ever run an autOmO-
bile, and reflects on the bother he had
when his motor went bad on some back
country road, will know how it is. For
all his fretting and Tuning, he was
perfectly safe on dry land. Not so
the stricken aviator who when his mo-
tor is shot through, faces a probably
fatal descent to hard earth or fall
Into the ocean. While the new motors
are the next thing to perfection, any
mechanical contrivance will go wrong
sometimes, or lucky shot put them
out of business.
Seaplanes have been regarded as
one of the most hopeful weapons
AGAINST submarines, by reason of the
greater visibility of the underwater
object if observed from above. But
the seaplane performance has been
comparatively disappointing. They
are compelled too much to consider
the possibility of forced landing
Their float or boat weighs more than
the chassis of the ordinary airplane,
thus sharply limiting their carrying
capacity for bomb dropping work.
The multi-engine theory for the
heavier planes at least, sounds very
reasonable. If one motor goes wrong
there will be one or more left to bring
the plane home. 1t could disregard
the chance of forced landings.
This would not merely be a power
full new weapon against the submarine
but would augment the power OF the
Overland force. Machines thus guard.
ed could fly lower, observe more clear
ly, make longer distances and take
greater chances with hostile gunfire.
Independent so largely of the condi-
tions that now limit air work, the
range Of their performance seems stu

WHERE SEASONS ARE MIXED
Caves Exist in United States In Which
Ice Freezes In Summer and
Thaws In Winter.

There are several caves In the Unit
ed States where nature seems to have
become confused as Il the seasons, ac-
cording to Popular Science Monthly.
During the late spring and sum
mer Ice forms, but as winter comes IN
the interior Of the caves becomes mild
er, the ice gradually melts and q kind
of subdued summer sets in under
ground.
One of these peculiar caves Is to be
found at Coudersport, Pa, and n at
DEBORAH, La. The superstitious among
the residents Of those localities
give the caves a wide berth and look
with suspicion upon anyone daring
enough to attempt to investigate them.
Edwin S. Balch Of Philadelphia, who
has made a study Of the subterranean
Ice mines, as they are called, states
that according to the theory evolved
by investigators the formation of the
caverns Is such that the cold air of
winter does not penetrate and settle In
them until late in the spring at the
time when the water from spring
thaws is seping through the walls
and roof. This water meeting the cold
air freezes and stays frozen all sum-
mer until, as the fall season APP
proaches, the warm summer air at last
finds its way into the cave and melts
the ice. ..

requisite skill may produce a house
which embodies an architectural style
Of his own conception, but it is hardly
possible for any man to so design a
house that 1t does not show the ten

of the houses lacking beauty, charac-

HE WAS WAITING PATIENTLY
Constant Attendant at Play Was Bound
to Be on Hand when Erring Wife
Mas Caught by Husband.

A problem play was being produced
In Chicago. One evening 1t was dis
covered that a certain man, evidently
ron the rural district, had attended
the play six nights In succession and
always sat well down in front. Each
night he leaned forward eagerly In his
seat and drank In the words Of the
drama.
These facts were communicated to
the theater press agent, who scented
a good story. Approaching the inter-
ested spectator between the acts, he
apologized for his intrusion and said:
would you mind telling me just why
you are so interested in this play?
Do you know some member of the
cast?"

wide. The small house may be de-
signed to follow this style, however, in
such a manner that it will appear well
on a lot very much more narrow than
this. 1t requires freedom in following
the style and extreme simplicity of out
line. The example shown in the Illus
trations Is not q true Colonial type,
but it is in the class of small houses
designed for a fairly narrow lot and
suggesting the Colonial style in its out
line and arrangement. The exterior of
the house is finished in a simple man
ner, with wide clapboard siding, large
porch with turned columns across the
front and heavy outside chimney at the
side.
Clapboards were originally made
wide because of the difficulty In cutting
them out of the logs, fewer being re-
quired to cover a given surface when
cut wide. At the present time wide
clapboards may be obtained and are
used to reproduce the appearance Of
these earlier siding boards, especially
In the Colonial style house where their
use is most appropriate.
The large chimney is of brick and
tapers slightly above the first floor. No
porch rail is used, which makes 1t pos
sible to easily inclose the porch en-
tirely with screens or storm sash. The
hooded windows with their shutters
form a distinctive feature Of the e1-
terror.
True to the typical Colonial arrange
ment, a hall runs back through the
center of the first floor to the stair
way. Cased openings lead from this
hall to the living room and the dining
room. The living room Is a very pleas
ant room extending back from the
front along the side of the house. A
fireplace Is built into the outer wall
near the center of the room. The din
Ing room. kitchen and pantry are stu
ated along the other side Of the house.
There Is a buffet In the dining room
and the pantry is fitted with shelves
and a work table. The refrigerator is
placed on the back porch, but it is ar
ranged SO that 1t opens from the PAN
try. The stair leading to the basement
IL entered from a passage between the
kitchen and the porch.
The second floor is pleasantly ar
ranged. One large bedroom above the
living room is especially pleasant.
There Is a fireplace In this room. The
closet IL lighted by q front window.

homes contained parts which were
built in England and carried over
here in ships. The typical Colonial
house is a wide structure with a SIM
pie roof, the surface of which is usu-

dormers, spaced symmetrically. The
