To Make Book PIatea

One way to make effective book
plates is TO have a stencil, through
which you can work up the slips in
water-colors. Stencils are cut from
oiled stencil paper or board, but II

zines for some appropriate design or
group and trace IL TO your stencil pa
per. Cut it up into little portions, as
you would a jigsaw puzzle, 80 that all
the design is In parts. all joined by
small bridges to each other. Cut
out the design, leaving the bridges
firm, with a sharp knife. holding the
stencil over glass or marble as you cut.
When complete proceed to color
through the stencil onto thin cardboard
or water-colOr paper. A dozen or 50 OF
these book plates at time will not be q

FIGHTING IN THE AIR
PUSHED BY BRITISH
HUNDREDS OF GERMAN PLANES
BROUGHT DOWN DURING PAST
MONTH OF FIGHTING.
Some Of the Most Desperate Air Bat
ties Of the Entire War Fought N
the Past Few Days, Thirty
Planes Destroyed in Day

London--The recent lull in the nght-
ing has had no effect whatever upon
the British aerial offensive. which con-
tinues day and night with unrelenung
intensity. In the last few days there
have been witnessed some of the most
desperate air battles Of the entire war.
One or two OF these have been fought
at the unprecedented height OF 19,ooo
feet. or more than three and one-hait
miles from the earth.
Recently there was a duel in which
g British pilot. having run out OF am
munition for his machine gun, got close
enough 10 his antagonist 10 shoot him
down with his revolver. This incl
dent served TO recall the fact that when
the war began the only weapons which
aerial pilots had were pistols and car
bines.
A notable feature of the air fighting
in the last ten days has been the ten
dency of the German airplanes &c
break in pieces soon after being shot
OUT Of control.
The toll OF German planes destroyed
in May will mount far into the hun
dreds. In last Sundays fighting alone
thirty were counted. Fifteen wer,
seen 10 crash 10 the ground. fourteen
were driven down completely out OF
control and one was shot down by ar
tllery.
