TRY THIS SOMETIME.

Two young girls and their brother
were going to spend the day in the
woods. .....
In the lunch basket they had three
boiled eggs-one for each; but just as
they were about to set out, a young
friend called. and they invited him to
accompany them. The oldest girl said
to her brother: George, we must add
to our lunch basket or there won't be
enough" Whereupof George went
off and got another egg and put 1t in
the basket, while his sisters procured
why, George, where did you get the
egg" 49, 80,
lar" was the reply.
but it was not cooked. and we can
not use a raw egg. Which was the
egg you put in last"
But George could not tell; the
eggs all looked just alike, so they
felt them to see which was the warm
est, but they were all equally cold, the
boiled egg having been cooked early
in the day, and taken to the cellar TO
cool They then held them up to the
light and they thought one OF the
eggs was more transparent than the
rest, but the difference did not seem
to be so great as to make them quite
sure as to which had been boiled and
which was raw.
AT last the visitor found out their
dilemma, and at once said that he
could easily tell. Taking an egg be-
tween his fingers and thumb. he
twirIed it on the table. and 1t spun
like a top. THAT egg" said he, has
been boiled" Another was tried with
the same result, and then he found
one that he could not make spin.
'tThat," said he, 'is the raw egg"

WEATHER AND YOUR APPETITE

Watch what you eat the next time

the weather takes away your appetite.
1t doesn't, 1t makes YOU eat more.
The November American Magazine
explains, what weather does to the
restaurant business. The writer says:
"A study, of weather and business
has it's surprises. For instance res
taurant men know that appetites are
not the same on a dark. gloomy day
as on a day that is bright and cheer-
full Natural enough! The surprising
fact is that they eat most on the day
that is dark and dismal.
On a cloudy day an old restau-
rant man tell me, people just sit and
eat. There is nothing else to do. On
nice day they eat less and hasten
out into the open. But the less they
eat the more particular they are
about the quality

are inclined to be slow to make ap-

Germans Prepare
To Meet u. S. in Air
Forewarned of American
Plans, Steadily Increase
Aviators and Machines

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 15.-Captair
Baron Won Richthofen, Germsny's lead
ing aviator, expresses himself as un-
concerned over the reported prepara-
tions to place 10000 American aviators
on the Western front. He believes it
will be impossible TO get together that
many trained pilots, as the training Is
long and costly and involves heavy
casualties. The newcomers. he says,
will, particularly at first, "be unable to
judge the military conditions, and at
least 20 per cent Of the machines will
be disabled during the long transport" !"
Lieutenant General Won Ardenne, Of
the "Berliner Tageblatt," who reports
this conversation with Won Richthofen
at the Flanders front, adds that the
German air service, which evidently
has been forewsrned by newspaper dis
cussion Of American plans, is steadily
increasing the number Of aviators and
machines.
German fighting airplanes, General
Won Ardenne says. now carry wireless
receiving outfits which enable them 10
engage in combat promptly with enemy
niers. This is necessitated by new CON
ditions on the Flanders front, where
whole squadrons of Allied machines can
appear over the German lines in a sur
prisingly short time. German squad
rons starting from the ground to meet
the invaders would be too late, so they
must constantly be in the front lines,
either flying or ready for fight.
German aviators say that they have
noted recently that a majority Of the
British fiers in Flanders are showing
themselves in the Dixmude section OF
the front instead Of the region Of
Passchendaele.
General Won Ardenne discusses va
rious new developments Of the Flanders
fighting, among them the decrease in
the use of hand grenades, which in
close fighting are as dangerous TO
friends as to foes. They are being dis
placed by light machine guns and spe-
cial units whose task il is to seek out
enemy batteries by sight or hearing.
The muzzle fash Of a gun, he says. Is
observed by from three TO FIVE stations
connected by telephone, and the posi-
tion Of the gun is determiped easily.

u. S. Liner Misses
Mine by 100 Feet
Passengers Believe Germany
sHas Strewn Seas With
"FIoaters"

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov 15.-Pas-
sengers who arrived here to-day on an
American liner from England reported
that Germans had probably laid many
mines in the war zone. The vessel on
which they had travelled, they said, had
missed hitting one mine By about 100
feet.
- When the passengers read in the
morning newspapers of the let-up in
U-boat activity and the abnormal de-
crease in the sinking of Allied mer-
cAantmen, many of them expressed the
belief that the greater part Of the Ger
man submarine flotilla had been with
drawn for a special purpose, and as a
substitute the undersea raiders had
strewn the war zone with mines.
Had it not been for the heavy sea
that was running at the time the offi-
GERS on the American liner that came in
to-day would not have observed the
mine that drifted so close to them.
Among the passengers was Nine.
Slavko Grouitch, wife of the Serbian
Minister TO Sweden, who had brought
over 10000 articles fashioned by the
interned Belgian, French and British
soldiers in Switzerland. Among others
on board were Augustus Post, Of the
Aero Club; Paul Rainey, motion pict-
ure photographer; Lieutenant Alexis
Wren, of the Russian aviation corps;
B. L. Lawrence, Eugene Karinsky and
Robert Fitzpatrick.

5 Sons of Gen. Sibert
Now Serving in Army
By Haywood Broun

(Accredited to the Pershin0 Army in France
for The NeW York Tribune and Syndieate)
tCopyrght. 1917. by The Tribune AssociationJ
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY ARMY
IN FRANCE, Nov. 15.-General Sibert
has now outdistanced Colonel Roose-
welt. He has five sons serving with
the army now.
Word was received to-day that the
youngest son. who is just nineteen. has
enlisted as a private. Two Of the others
are captains, one is lieutenant and
one is a West Point cadet.
General Sibert had felt that four
sons in the army were quite enough
and had urged his youngest to hold off
for the time being. The lure Of the
army was keener than the parental
warning, however. and young Sibert
followed in the steps Of his brothers
before his father was aware of it.
