Even my terror-flIed, fascinated eyes could see what the figure in the airplane, plainly visible now, though very tiny, was doing. He was crawl ing out from his seat, and in a few seconds, like hours to us, but which must have been eternity to him, he had stepped out upon the collapsed wing.
 The officers voice, shaken out of its soldier calm, spoke again.
 He's holding the wing fittings of the collapsed wing into the. sockets of the fusalate!" he exclaimed. There's nerve for you. He must have shaken the controls for the gunner to take control of the ship when he un- loosened his belt and crawled out there! I believe on my soul, Mason, he's going to make it. He's almost got it into control now. No, his grips giving, and he's within a hundred feet of safety-the ships nosing into the grOund!"
 His last words came back over his shoulder, for both men had started on the run toward the machine when it made it's final dive, throwing the dar- ing aviator into a crumpled, shapeless mass on the ground. With a scream, EulLu T dlIldA SpTdnS dlI0E LIl6n
 But IT stood motionless, repeating aloud and parrot-like to myself the officers last words:
 His grips giving, theship's nosing into the ground"
 My brain seemed incapable of action. For while I was watching the man fighting for his life above me, an awful hallucination had taken posses sion of me. Surely I knew that 1.-the figure, hidden though it was in the aviator's uniform. Every move ment that he made had a torturing- a loved familiarity.
 I felt hands shaking my shoulders, saw Mrs. Durkee with tears running down her face, heard her voice as if it came down from far away:
 ''Madge, Madge, dear," she was saying, You must be brave. Come with me, just a little till the doctors have finished. Then we can find out-''
 But like a wild thing I had wrenched myself from her kindly grasp, horrible, pitiless realization breaking over me, and was running toward the broken shape upon the grass-Dicky, my husband! q

Illness has stricken all the mem bers of a family in home on Whit ing street. Visitors employed by the Home Service bureau of the Red Cross found the family Sunday.

They had been without medical attention and nursing service for some time and no meals had been provided because there was no one able to cook.
 In another family on the street vic tims of pneum onia were seriously ill passing through the crisis stage of pneumonia. A nurse was secured from a nearby place.

1HHERE are nearly 2,00O dough-
 boys in Aix-les-Bains every
 day now. They are there on vacation. French and English sol- dicrs go home when the time for leave comes. They see their wives, sweethearts and mothers, sleep con- fortably in the old familiar bed and eat home-cooking. They come back to their places in the Army re- freshcd and renewed. .r
 But the American boy cannot go home. Either he must go without a vacation-which would mean un- happiness and reduced efficiency or home must be created for him in France. The Y. M. c. A. has undertaken the task of making that home fo- him. American Y. M c. A. women have the largest part of the share in the success attained.
 When the doughboy arrives at Aix-the beautiful and comfortable II Alps-everything is ready for him. The Army has furnished him with transportation and arranged to pay his hotel bill. The Y. M. c. A. finds him a room and arranges for his board. He is assigned to a comfortable room in a good hotel, where he can have French cooking, as a change from American fare, freedom from military discipline, be for eight days his own master, and so get real rest.
 Settled in his room, the boy heads for the casino, the center of interest in the town. This magnifi- cent structure set down amid hand some gardens, was at once the play ground and the gambling haven of the aristocracy of Europe.
 Aristocracy Lends Color
 A few of the aristocracy still come to Aix to mingle with the doughboys and lend color to the scene. The casino has been taken over by the Y. M. c. A. and is operated as club free to all en- listed men. It is here that the American women preside. These boys may not have seen an Amer Ican woman for six or eight months, and these women are to them moth CTS and sisters for the time being there to make their vacation real home coming.

NORMAN ACNELL
TO SPEAK AT The
UNITED CHURCH

Next Sunday night Norman Angel,
to speak at the Community Forum
at the United church. His subject
will be British Labor and the War
1t is now generally admitted that the
British Labor party is likely to hold
the balance of political power in
Great Britain after the war, and that
the measures for which it stands are
so far-reaching as to involve the vir-
tual overthrow of our present indus
trial civilization. The importance of
this movement and it's probable effect
on America and western society gen.
orally, is far too little realized in this
country. Mr.. Angel has for some
years been closely connected with the
British Labor movement and speaks
with authority on the subject.
Mr.. Angel is an Englishman. His
first success was as newspaper man
ager and associate of Lord North
cliffe in one of his boldest newspa-
per ventures, the establishment of the
Continental Daily Mail" He soon
became the most widely read of all
writer's treating OF international poll
tics, with his books translated into
some twenty-five languages. Mr.. G.
Bernard Shaws paper, THE New
statesman" once remarked In fact,
Norman Angel now stands for a
movement in European political
thought-one of the most important
movements of our time"
Wherever Norman Angel speaks
the world is ready to listen. He al
ways speaks with power, no matter
how much men may disagree, with
him. "Everybodys" writes of him:
''Mr. Angel has mind like an edged
blade, but he uses it like a scientist,
and not like a crusader. He is not a
propaganda, he is an elucidator."
Mr.. Angel is at present one of the
editors of 1.-The New Republic"

DEATH OF CHIEF
GIVES HIS PLACE
TO WHITE Man

Mandan. N. D.. June with the
passing OF CIief John Grass, of the
Sioux tribe of Indians, who recently
died at Fort Yates, the headquarters
Of the Standing Rock agency, his
mantle falls upon the shoulders of the
only white man ever adopted into the
tribe. Thus Captain A. B. WEIGH, of
Mandan, adopted son of the old chief
tain, becomes, according to ancient
customs of the Sioux, the chief Of the
tribe.
The new Sioux chief, whose Indian
name is Mato- Watakpe, is with the
United States Infantry in France and
is the aide of Major General Hunter
Liggett. A grandson of John Grass,
Albert Grass, is serving with the same
division.
Although there were formerly four
cbieftains of the Sioux, only one line
remains, and, the old chiefs sons all
being dead, Captain Welch, by reason
of being an adopted son, takes prece-
dence over a grandson in the direct
line.
The name Mato- Watakpe is the
Sioux war name of the old chief and
means Charging Bear" When he
was adopted Captain Welch chose
this name as the one by which he
would he known among the Indians.
Although the chief of today has not
the same powers of the chief of years
gone by, the title still gives him the
respect of the Indians and they rec
ognize him as their leader A chief
still represents his tribe in all the
disputes or conferences with the gov
eminent.
Captain Welch for many years has
been a student of the Indian customs
and formed many friendships with
members of the Sioux tribe In 1913,
because of a mutual regard that had
grown up between the captain and
the Chief, John Grass, the latter asked
the captain if he would be willing to
be adopted as his son. The captain
consented and, conforming to the an
cient ceremonies of the Siux, was
taken into the tribe by service held
at Fort Yates, the old trading center
The service began at dawn and lasted
until shutdown.
The body of the old chief has been
laid in the cemetery at Fort Yates
and the Sioux now look for the return
of their pale face chief from the
great war to assume control of their
affairs and act as their spokesman in
all matters in which the tribe is in
volved.

try are rapidly learning that one of
the preparations they can always de-
pend on for blood and nerve troubles
is Phosphated Iron, they have found
that it gives results and can be de-

red blood and nerve builder in the
spring season when so many are all
run down and dragged out, due to
lack of fresh air. exercise, green foods
and clogged poisoned blood. Scien-
lists say Phosphated Iron builds up
your body by building up your blood
and nerves, and many physicians
claim there would be few over-work-
ed men, nervous women, bloodless old
people and pale children, were the
benefits of Phosphated Iron more
widely known, that there is no need of
anyone going around tired out, all in,
nerves on edge, suffering with poor
blood and lack of energy when Phos-
phated Iron will make you feel like
live one, make you look 100 per
cent. better, give you restful sleep,
brace you up SO you can work with
ease and enjoy life once again.
Get Phosphated Iron today and
start in right, you owe it to yourself
and friends.
To insure physicians and their pa
tients getting the genuine Phosphated
Iron we have put in capsules. Do not

NEED NOT SEEK POPULARITY
"Expert" May Achieve Highest Meas
ure of Success, but Naturally He
viii Never Be Loved.

There is not much mystery, or even
any at all, in the dislike of experts"
that is felt and expressed by not few.
The expert man is man who goes to
other men and tells them that the
way in which they are doing their work
Is not the best way-that 1t is a bad,
costly. or even stupid way-and that II
they will only listen to him and follow
his advice their work will be improved
and their efficiency increased.
None Of us takes pleasure in hear
ing talk Of that sort, and the displeas-
ure is greater in exact proportion with
length of the hearers training and ex-
perience in conducting his business,
trade, or art. All that the expert says
carries the implication of adverse criti-
cism directed against the recipient Of
his suggestions, and usually it is criti
cism of that recipients father and
grandfather. Of course that is re-
scented, and the resentment is bitterest
when the expert goes ahead and gives
undeniable proof that his new way
of doing things is better than the old
ways which have long been productive
of honor and profit.
The expert, too, is always open to
the convenient charge that he is not
''prac he is a man of the
cries and fads. Sometimes the charge
is true-but only of the expert who
claims the name without deserving it.
