NEEDLES In Most Dannar-

Observation-Disclosures reader we are
about to bust pet bubble" so get
prirned for it.
The aviation service is the least
hazardous of all branches of the army.
The United States government ranks
the risks as follows:
Medical corps.
2-lnfantry.
3-Artillery.
4-Cavalry.
5--Flying corps.
OF all branches in the allied armies,
trying since August, 1914, to kill each
other on the western front, the air
mems mortality was the least. There
are fewer-very many fewer-fghting
airmen in the aviation corps than the
average reader of war news might
think. In n British air squadron, for
instance there are, roughly speaking,
200 men. OF these, only from 10 to "a
per cent are fighters, and these are all
officers.

the large reception tent to which the
wounded are first borne for examI-

dropping of the bomb from the first

minute afterward the surgeons of the
hospital were at the task of collecting
and attending those who had been
struck down. And for "a hours they
were at work in the operating room,
one surgeon relieving another when
the latter, from simple exhaustion,
could work no longer. The very next
day, just as if nothing had happened,
these same surgeons were called upon
to receive and care for 200 wounded

New York.--After Miss Erma
StuRpf, seventeen years old, had been
saved from the surf at Coney Island,
she kissed the life guard and wanted
to fake him to her home and show him
10 her father. Eugene Spitz, the guard,
was a trihe bashful, and, While he ac-
cepted the kiss, he refused to accom-
pany the girl home.
Miss Stumpf was beyond her cepth
when she called for aid, Miss Ella
DAILY was the first to reach her, and
she held her head above water until
Spitzhand Adolph Ehrman, also life
guard, reached them with catamarans.
Spitz took Miss Stumpf ashore ana
Ehrman landed Miss DAILY, who col
lapsed as soon as Miss Stumpf was
taken from her.
Both were revived on the beach, and
when Miss Stumpf had recovered suf-
ficiently she threw her arms about
Spitz and embarrassed him by kissing
him.

fragments, but was not seriously
wounded. His escape was narrow, as
there were more than a hundred holes
cut in his tent. Lieutenant Smith was
struck in the knee and Lieutenant

there was not the smallest sign of

everyone sprang TO it with a will.
Many of the injured had been blown
from their. cots, some even outside
their tents, where they were found
tangled up in the tent poles. The
American nurse although struck in the
face by fragment of steel from the
bomb, refused to be relieved, and re-
