bill and Was favored by the Sea-

ball flew asl1ew, it was neatly blocked and nipped aside by the front wheel of the enemy car. Where had he come from? Memory produced a blurry picture of the car slowing with the jerk of a broncho under a Spanish bit, whirling around on two wheels and flying back into the fray. But all the movements in the wild game were so swift and dazzling and the bark of the explosions and the snort ing of the eXhausts were so noisy that the whole business seemed as blurred and yet as fearsome as nightmore rushed along at extra ordinary speed. Game finished. Only one man hurt. His machine had turned two somersaults and pinned him, but he wasn't hurt much though-only one leg and three ribs broken. He's in the hospital and doing fine"

PEACHES? OH, YES;
 WE'RE PICKIN' FEM
CBaltimore American)


 Is there anything more fetching than a peach of q girl up peach tree when the peaches are blushing red amidst the green? If so, what? When? Where? Eighteen Boucher college girls -eighteen, count 'em-out on q Aar- ford peach farm, climbing the peach trees with the trained agility of gym nasium athletes, polSinS on ladders fifteen feet tall, reaching with barred arms for the ripened fruit-Well, now, isn't that HarfOrd county peach orch ard an Arcadia that should wake up the poets? Those Boucher girl picked peaches will come to Baltimore right along during the next three weeks! Go after 'em. get 'em, can 'em, sugar lem down and pour cream over 'em.
 When the dew is on the peach and the girl is in the tree and the mock ingbirds are warbling all around-here this poem ends. Enough. There's the picture, There's the Harford county Arcadia within an hours run of Bal timorc, Some other poet who can make Boucher girl" rhyme with some thing more poetically fitting than mad dening whirl may take up and round out the poem as it should be rounded out. A peach orchard, when the fruit is ripc., is Q paradise. And one of these peach paradises, with eighteen blooming Boucher girls gathering the blushing fruit-it's enough to raise the ghost of James Whitcomb Riley.
 Maybe some Boucher girl poet will make an Odyssey, or shall 1 say, Paradise Regained. of the life in the Harford county peach paradise. We would suggest that the poem be in the Whitcomb Riley style rather than in the Miltonic or Homeric.

WHALE MEAT SAID
 TO BE PALATABLE
(ProVidence Journall

Whales and porpoises are mammals, like cattle and sheep, and their flesh is meat" not "fish." In texture and appearance it resembles beef, though the color is darker red, and the flavor is closer to that of meat than to any other and is devoid of any fishy taste. It is likely that it will soon be obtain able fresh, corned and canned. Whales are taken at several more stations on the Pacific coast, where their blubber is rendered for oil and the bones and flesh to some extent for fertilizer, while their skins appear to be adapted to tanning into leather. These sta tions take @ considerable number of these animals, each whale furnishing about five tons of excellent meat. Dur ing May an enterprising whaling com pany placed fresh whale meat on the market in Seattle and Portland. The product met with a ready sale at 10 cents a pound, and was immediately placed en the bills of fare of the ho- tels and restatrants under it's proper name. Porpoises are abundant on all of our coasts, and there is a regular fishery of them at Cape Hatteras. where they are valued principally for their oil and to some extent for their hides.

$$$ WAFFLES eee

We agree with you about wal fes. They must be crisp. No! We don't doubt that your wafles are crisp. But perhaps you'd like them even more crisp.
 If you would, why don't you try some economical Cottolene Wal hes? Wholesome, economical Cot tolene, you know, has delightful habit of making all foods "crispy" -waffles included.
 If you prefer to use youhown recipe, be sure to use one-third less of economical Cottolene than you would of expensive butter. Why 'one-third k55"?
 Simply this:
 Wholesome Cottolene is unusually rich even much richer than butter. It contains no water or salt.
 So 1t soSs farther.
 Our recipe given here has an established reputation for making delicious, crisp waffles. Will you try it?
 3H cups flour
 Grounded teaspoons baking powder
 level teaspoon salt
 2 cups milk
 Yolks eggs
 Whites 4 eggs
 1 tablespoon melted Cottolene Picture No. 1 shows how to start.

heights and saw the 'jitneys' stripped down to their bare steel frames;
 the drivers stood near them, wiry young athletes of 160 pounds or so, with smiling eyes, gentle voices ana lean, hard jaws, the kind of fellows who go down in submarines or run aeroplanes calmly enough, but get all tangled up when anyone tries to make heroes of them. Quite the opposite of the windy, egomaniac, ear-splitting but be that as it may. The game started and the machines dashed to and fro over the green turf in astounding bursts of speed, their er- ratio zig gag flights accompanied by rattling volley of barks, snap and explosive. The machines had no mufflers, and each bark and snap was accompanied by jets and bursts of flame. The little steel skeletons of cars seemed to be living-seemed to be the very living models of devil ish ferocity and cunning as they darted here and there with the ven- omous haste and cunning of hornets seeking a victim. One car shot after the ball, slowed and the mallet man swung and half missed, and. as the

STANDARD TIME IS
 WORLD NECESSITY
(Boston Transcrintl

Time, standarized, must be reck- oned as one of the absolute necessi- ties of the highly developed life of today. Every mans watch is his own particular standard. In case of doubt as to its accuracy he refers to some other higher standard, in some watchmaker's window. In cases these higher standards should disagree, it is necessary to go to some ultimate standard superior to all of them. The ultimate standard in the United States is the time determined at the Naval Observatory, Washington. Con- trary to the general idea, getting the exact time does not depend mainly upon sun observation. One rotation of the earth does not make d com plete day; but the time between the appearance at meridian of q fixed star and it's reappearance in the same position gives the exact diur- nal period. The observer, through the transit telescope the smaller end Gnside of which are stretched a number of spiderweb threads) marks the star almost at meridian, and as it comes to the meridian line, outlined by the threads he presses an electric button, or lever, and thus causes the recording pen of the chronograph, above men toned, to leave it's zig-zag course around the revolving sheet and make short line, which represents me ridian star time. Now the sidereal clock record is compared with abso- lutely correct star-time tables, which show what the proper record should be; and then the difference, if there is any, between clock and table Is T by reference to the mean time chrono- graphic record. After figuring out l all differences, time is in condition to be electrically recorded.
 There are many clocks at the naval observatory, but those which are connected with the chronograph department are of most interest. They embrace the electric feature in | the time system, some having to do | with mean time, but the most irn- | portant one with astronomy. This timepiece is called the siderea1 (star) clock, and is used in connection with the transit circle. It is connected
 with -ehronograph, in the same room, and with the galvanic system of the observatory by means of a
 platinum rod and a small globule of mercury. The latter is so arranged
 on a. metallic support that at each
 oscillation of the pendulum the plat | mum point touches the mercury
 when the pendulum is at the middle
 of it's arc, closes the circuit and
 transmits it's fractional time message
 to be recorded by an automatic
 marker on the table-sheet on the
 chronograph. Thus continuous
 marking goes on unless interrupted;
 and tt1is interruption plays it's i'm

BADGES ARE MANY

Pearson's Weekly. London1

Pearson's Weekly, London.)
 In contrast to the single army badge issued by the war office to our wounded Tommy, the French sol dier has a great variety at his con- mand. In fact, he can carry his brave record on his sleeve, and a uniform without adornment and spotlessly clean, is looked upon with scant favor in France.
 An inverted "V' high upon the right sleeve means that he has been wounded" and a new one is added for each wound. A "V" right-si up on the same sleeve means "sent home on account of sickness"
 With regard to the left sleeve the "" indicates the length of service, one for the first year and one is added for each successive six months

NEGLECTED TO PUT
 HAP OVER A LIZZIE
(Chica cn Trihl1na1

Well. let's see. The lizzie was in the street. The coppers were in to see how the life guard was coming on in his fight with the picked, nude gen tleman. And when they returned the lizzie was gone. Who did it? Nobody knows. It is so complicated that one must just start anywhere in telling about il. Lizzie, picked gentleman, lifeguard, pedestrians and language that isn't fit to print. Dear. dear.
 The picked gentleman went too far from out Wilson beach and sank. This is very inconvenient. It inter- feres with the respiration and upsets things at home Lifeguard James Wrenshaw rushed out and salvaged the bon Vivant and fetched him ashore. Yes, he had on a bathing suit, then. He rolled him on a bar rel and then leaned him up against post to dry. In q few moments the P. c. began to take a morose in terest in things, turning glassy eye upon such objects as came within the radius of his view.
 All of a sudden-folks on the beach say they never saw anything like it the P G. leaped up and announced in a loud tone that he wished to en- gage in combat; nay, he demanded battle, he thirsted for gore. He seemed to thirst particularly for the gore of MT. Wrenshaw, and he set cut to slake it. So that he might rot seem to be taking an unfair ad-
 vantage he doffed his bathing suit and sought the fray in his native cuticle.
 Symmetrical young things in one and one-half piece bathing suits scur- 1 ri f11 qtr n1 phoned for the police.
 Now, then. Over at the Town Hall station there is kept a coy, young automobile. Into this there leaped Policemen Frank J. Coyle and Pat rick J. Holohan and also Edward Grimm, the chauffeur Policeman Grimm spoke kindly to the lizzie and it skipped around q couple O. corners.
 Grimm sat in the lizzie while Coyle and HOlOhan went inside to aid in l subduing the pickled gentleman who was reViving at such a terrific rate that the spectators wondered how he acted when not half drowned and in the full flush of health. A bystander hurried out to Grimm.
 "Th' stew is kickin' the stuffin' outa tn coppers," said he, you bet ter step in an get some of it"
 An, rash Grimm! He leaped through the gate in the high board fence and smote the pickled disturber a welt that gave him pause. They brought forth the prisoner. They looked about for the lizzie. No lizzie.
 That makes two from the police department. A mile back they stole one in front of the city hall. Well, maybe after while they'll learn to put their hats over 'em when they leave 'em in the street.

THE SIGNAL CORPS

An army must have eyes and ears @ IS well as muscles and legs. It has a brain to direct its members in accord with the things the eyes and ears bring to the attention of the general in com mand But it must also have nerves Co carry the messages of the eyes and cars to the commanding brain.
