Today there is about as much differ

however. that Il gun was aimed SINH
larry TO a rifle in that the direction in
which 1t was pointed WAS obtained by
sighting along its barrel.
But now things are not done that
way. The gunners are often far out OF
sight of what they are shooting at. and
the remarkable hits that they make
are only explained by the use they
make of careful scientific calculations.
To direct the fire of one OF the bigger

FOOD PLEDGE DAY
Residents OF London Set Apart Day
Help Economy.

London, May 24.-Today is being
observed as Food Pledge Day." a
day set apart for appealing for
pledges OF food economy and frugaii-
ty. Already two million people have
signed and on today's result practi-
cally hangs the decision between vol
untary and compulsory rationing.
The lord mayor of London accom-
panied by the sheriff appeared in
their official robes On the steps of the
Royal exchange early in the day and
invited all hearers to proceed to the
Mansion House and take the food
pledge. A similar meeting was held
at the Guildhall and thousands OF
gatherings with the same object met
throughout the kingdom. All fac
tories, schools and other institutions
agreed to cease work at noon today
for 4 sufficient length of time to en-
able employees to sign the pledge
More than three million helpers are
engaged in the campaign and are so
confident OF success that they predict
that voluntary rationing will win an
easy victory.

HAITI CLEANS HOUSE.
Changes That Were Brought About by
the American Occupation.


Five years ago in Haiti there was on
the whole island not more than one
mile of macadamized roadway, and the
new streets. taking the place of combi-
nation trails and sewers, are the most
noticeable changes brought about by
the American occupation.
But more remarkable than the streets
is the astonishing sight of squads OF
Haitians actually cleaning the streets.
Under the old regime the chief occupa-
tons o. the male citizens of Haiti were
coc,iighting and politics.
The refuse and smells have departed,
and better still. most of the children
have disappeared from the streets.
They are actually at school. where by
Haitian law they are supposed to be.
nut where by Haitian lawlcssness only
about 10 per cent of them ever used to
he.
