FATE PURSUED THIS TOMMY
Nearly Spent Bullet Goes Through
Hole Made in His Helmet by
German Sniper.

James Dickinson, convalescent
Canadian soldier, in letter to
friend, tells this story of the great
war:
During a lull in the battle of the
Marne one of the Canadian troopers
took off his steel helmet, and, placing
1t on the end of his rifle, held it so
that about half of it protruded above
the top of the trench. A German
sniper, observing it, at once shot at it,
and the ball, striking it squarely,
pierced the steel, going out the other
side. The Tommy" laughingly showed
it to his comrades and placed it back
on his head.
Fifteen minutes later the order came
to ''go over the top" and this same
"Tommy" was among the first. He was
also among the first to fall mortally
wounded.
1t was discovered at the dressing
station that he had been struck by a
nearly spent bullet that had gone
through one of the holes that he had
so recently shown his fellow soldiers

only man can perform. With a great

future development and measurements

time being spent underground. Some
concerns keep an underground and an
office force. Both classes of this work
can be done by women. There are
boundless possibilities to the work, an
endless variety to it and an interest that
never wanes It would seem strange to
see a woman achieving renown in this
profession, but, as Ewes resourceful
daughters have entered it, no one need
be surprised to behold them struggling
