BRITISH HOLD NOISE RECORD
The War Blast Lloyd George Heard
14O Miles Across the Sea,

The greatest battle roar ever raised
by man was, in all probability, that
which reverberated thruout Flanders
when the British, early in June, re-
opened their drive against the Ger
mans in Belgium. The climax OF seven
days of continuous artillery bonn
bardment was the detonation Of a mill
lion pounds of high explosives planted
beneath the enemys trenches. The
colossal upheaval, which rocked the
earth and annihilated hundreds Of
soldiers, was the signal for Tommy
Atkins" to advance. This terrific
stroke was the elimination Of months
of difficult work successfully execut-
ed. An interesting sidelight involves
the British premier, David Lloyd
George. who was spending the night
at his country home In England. 140
miles from the firing line across the
North sea. He had been notified OF
the exact moment that the titanic
charge would be touched off. and
therefore, left instructions that he
should be awakened at o'clock iii
the morning. With other members Of
the household he heard the blast that
shook the battle front for miles. The
roar, probably the greatest ever pro-
duced by man, was also heard at Lon
don and other British points.
According to mathematical calcula-
tions, it was IL minutes and IL sec
onds after the explosion actually oc-
CURED that the premier heard the
sound. For purposes Of illustration.
Popular Mechanics figures out a SIM
liar blast at Chicago would be heard
In about the same number of minutes
at Galesburg. Bloomington and Peo-
ria. ILL.,, Fort Wayne. Ind, Muskegon.
Mich, and Fond du Lac, Wis.

HOW TO MAKE CAMP BED
How to Construct a Comfortable One
Out in the Woods.

"Roughing it" in the woods is q
favorite form of vacation for many
who, loving the great outdoors. like to
get all the way back to nature" when
they have the opportunity. When
camp Is pitched for a stay OF a few
days there are some comforts which
nature. unassisted, can not supply.
One OF these is bed. But, with a
little help, nature can supply even
this. Popular Mechanics offers the
following method of constructing
comfortable bed which can be made
wholly in the camp.
In many camping places, balsam
branches, or moss, are available for
improvisional mattresses. Used in
connection with bed made on the
spot, such a mattress substitute pro-
vides a comfort that adds to the joys
OF camping.
To make It, cut four six foot poles
of nearly the same weight and one
inch In diameter at the small end.
These saplings should have a fork
about two and a half feet from the
lower ends. as resting places for the
crossbars. Then cut two poles two
inches in diameter and three and one
half feet long, and two smaller poles
three feet long. Also cut two forked
poles, four and one-half feet long for
the diagonal braces Place two of the
long poles crossing each other. one
foot from the ground. Set up the
second pair similarly. Fix the cross
bars into place in the crotches. the
ends Of the crotch branches being
fastened under the opposite crossbar.
The end bars are fixed to the
crossed poles by means Of short rope
loops. The mattress Is placed on
springy poles seven feet long and two
inches apart, alternating thick and
thin ends. The moss is laid over the
poles, and the balsam branches
spread on thickly. Blankets may be
used as a cover

would suggest that the poem be in
the Whitcomb Riley style rather than
in the Miltonic or Homeric.
