PLAY
 DEAD AND ROLL OVER"
(By William Philip Simms, United
 Press Staff Correspondent.)

Press Staff Correspondent
 With the British Armies in France, Sept. 27. (By MaiD-It is not only the smart dog that knows how to "play dead and roll over" Battle plane pilots out here do it every day. both British and German. It ire quently happens that it IS only by playing dead that they keep alive.
 When planes are fighting high in the air and one suddenly finds himself in tight corner, he "plays dead" :" That is, he shoots vertically up into the air, turns over on his back and literally falls, head first, rolling over and over, stimulating all the motions of a plane whose pilot has been killed and which is utterly out of control. So deceptive are these movements that it is impossible to tell the difference very often from the real thing.
 Today I saw a good example of how this playing dead' works out. Lieut.. A. flying at an altitude of three miles, well above the clouds, encountered two enemy machines. He dived at the nearest and at short range fired a short burst into it from his machine gun. It pitched on its nose, and with smoke coming out of it's fuselage went plunging and spinning into the clouds below.
 It so happened that a pilot belong ing to an entirely different squadron happened to be patrolling under the clouds above which the fight took place In his report he mentioned seeing an enemy plane, of certain type, fall in flames out of the clouds over his head and, burning fiercely, crash to the earth at such and such a spot.
 As both time and place and the cir cumstances coincided exactly with the report of Lieut. A.. Lieut.. A was cred ited with bringing down the German plane. But for this accident his fight would have netted his record nothing.
 Whenever possible the victor in a fight in the air follows the falling plane to the ground and actually sees it smash to bits. When this happens, to onlookers on the ground, it appears exactly as if both planes are falling for the one which follows must put his plane into ''nose-spin" and fall in the wake of the other like a stone It is only when the pursuing plane sees his victim crash that he, at only a few hundred feet from the ground, "fattens out" and zooms up into the sky again Sometimes, to make sure, the pursuer fires 50 or 100 rounds at his falling opponent as he falls in his wake to make sure that the spin is real and not just willy pilot play ing dead" So it sometimes happens that a fall begins by pilot playing dead" and ends in it becoming genu- inc. In these cases the victorious pilot will never know whether he was firing at an enemy trying to escape or into the back of dead man.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to ShriveI

Lift OFF With Fingers.

Ouch ? ? !! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less hire in
town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to n tender, aching corn
or hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus
dries up and lifts right off without
pain.
He says freezone dries Immediate
ly and never inflamcs or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of freeZone will cost very lit
tie at any drug store, but will posi-
lively remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from ones feet. Millions of
American women will welcome this
announcement since the inauguration
of the high heels. If your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to or

HUMAN HAIR TRADE IN CHINA
INCREASING.

Some of the hair used in hair nets
purchased by women in the United
States has crossed the Pacific three
times before reaching retail dealers
This is due to the fact that. q large
part of millions of pounds Of human
hair exported from China finds its
way back again, after preparation,
for use in the manufacture of the
Socalled "invisble" nets.
Thomas Summons, United States
Consul General at Shanghai, China,
reporting to the department. of COM
merce at Washington. says that the
hair nets business has grown to great
Importance in the Chinese province
of Shantung, which now practically
supplies the entire demand from Eu-
rope and America.
Germany and Austria formerly had
monopoly of this trade The first
manufacture of nets In Shantung was
supervised by German firms. These
nets, it is said, were shipped by Ger
man parcel post TO small villages in
Germany and thence to Strassburg,
the source Of supply being kept Sc
cret. In 1914 London began to buy
direct from China ana later France
became active in the trade, but of
late the Chinese hair nets are going
mostly to the United States.
Exports of human hair from China
have grown greatly during the last
decade. Owing to the fact that many
Cinnamon no longer wear queues, the
supply of hair is likely to decrease,
but dealers are not wholly dependent
upon Chinaman's queues for their
supplies. Since 1913, queues have not
been readily obtainable, and dealers
are depending more and more on the
of women. Men, morrow
er, who no longer wear queues, fire.

While very evident that such an ar

THE CONTROL OF VENEREAL
DISEASES AND THE REGULA-
TON OF THE USE OF ALCOHOL
IN THE ARMY AND NAVY
Action by the Council of National
Defense Upon Recommendation of
tho Ennnrnl ModicnI Rnnrd

Action by the Council of National
Defense Upon Recommendation of
the General Medical Board.
AS strict war measure, the Coun-
Gil of National Defense has taken
decisive steps for the hygenic and
mental welfare of the soldiers and
sailors of the nation. 1t has struck
ut the present of vencreal diseases
and at alcoholism in all military
commands.
Guided by the General Medical
Board, which is constantly studying
medical problems n connection with
the Army and Navy mobilization,
the decisions of the Council are
these: First. that under military con-
troll an effective zone shall be created
about all military commands as the
most practicable and effective mea-
sure to prevent venereal diseases.
Second, that these military zones
shall serve also as a means of con-
troll of alcoholic beverages to the
troops. These decisions are reached
by the Council after exhaustive study
of conditions today among Great
European armies.
Zones about the military commands
will therefore, be created and condi-
tons in these zones will be guarded
by military measures so as to pre-
vent the spread of venereal diseases.
The two military arms of the gov
eminent officially recognize that con-
Thence is compatible with health.
The Council also recommends, as
further solution of the problem,
that all military commands be pro-
vidcd with good facilities for the
recreation of the troops. 1t urges
that all suitable athletics be encou-
ragged.
The use of alcoholic beverages on
the part of soldiers and sailors in
military commands has long been
under military control. But the crea-
ton now of these military zones will
in effect extend such control over
the troops when they are off duty
out of the commands.
"To face these ugly facts in an
unflinching and no half-hearted fas-
HON." said DR.. Franklin Ii. Martin,
member of the Advisory Commission
of the Council of National Defense
"makes for the fighting power of tie
nation. But our troops are insepa-
rably part of our civil life, and a
clean, wholesome temperate life
among these troops will in the end
make for our civil advancement, COM
pared to which the cost of the war is
nothing. The whole nation is indebted
to the General Medical Board for its
thorough going research, and for its
definite recommendations in the mat.
ter of real protection to our boys"
The recommendations were unani.
