"PEACH BASKET" MASTS OF
UNCLE SANS BATTLESHlPS
Every Time Salvo Is Fired They Sway
From Side to Side.

Washington. The strange cage or
battleships and larger cruisers are un-
like those Of any other naval ships
aioat. No seaman of wooden ship days
would recognize these odd structures
as masts. They are really observation
towers of steel.
The cage mast is the result of years
of experiment by American naval Off
GERS In an effort to create q light tower
that could be shot full OF holes and
still stand up.
The cage mast is built Of a large
number of slender steel rods, so ar
ranged that every one of them could
be pierced by shells and unless these
hits We're closely grouped the mast
would stand, So far no other nation
has copied the United States style Of
mast.
Each cage mast is capped by a spot
ting top" This is a platform from
which observing officers work out
ranges and with powerful sea glasses
spot the shots us they land. Correc-
tons in the ranges are ~telephoned to
the fire control stations If a white
squirt OF water on the surface OF the
sen shows the shots are falling short
or o~verreaching the mark.
The spotting top of a battleship in
action is no place for a faint hearted
man. Every time a salyo is fred the
mast whips from one side to the other
with a sickening sway. The men in
the top are whipped back and forth
like kids playing the game of "crack
the whip" and must hang on for their
lives to the shoulder high rails. In
some cases the men are strapped to the
rails.

ONE MATCH FOR THREE
CIGARETTES, DEATH SIGN
Superstition, Coming From the
Front, Takes Firm Root
In England.

London.-With every month Of the
great war new superstitions are con
~tinually finding origin among the rank
and file of the British soldiery. These
superstitions are speedily introduced
into civil life and London is rapidly
becoming one of the most superstitious
cities in the world.
The chaps from the trenches say that
the lighting OF three cigarettes with
one match means the speedy death of
one, IL not all three of the group, and
they will cite you a hundred and one
Instances to prove their contention.
They will tell you of an instance last
fall near st. Eloi. A group OF men
was billeted In a house far back from
the battle line. There had not been IA
shot or shell dropped in the villages
for several weeks.
A new recruit, just over from
'Blighty," as they call England or
home, had passed a box OF cigarettes
among his new found friends. He
struck n match and before any in the
group had realized 1t three cigarettes
had been lighted. When 1t suddenly
dawned on the group what had occur
