An American and an English ofrlcer,
soaring in an airplane above the Nor
gan IN. j. shell-loadlng plant, which
exploded and went nfire recently d.
rected the battle against the conilngra'
ton so as to check the flames and
probably prevent further loss of life
and property and to save from destruc-
tion 100000 pounds OF TINT which
was threatened.
The plane used came from the radio
experimental laboratory at Camp Al
fred Vail, further down on the Jersey
coast. Lieut.. Cyrus +. Smythe was the
pilot and Maj. ii. l.. Armstrong OF the
British army, stationed ct the plant
was the observer. Flying over the
wrecked works at an altitude of 1,OOO
feet. Lieutenant Smythe SO maneu'
vered his plane that Major Armstrong
was able to see the flames progressing
toward warehouses containing tnou-
sands of tons of INT and to make out
openings in the fire and wreckage
through which men could be sent to
combat the blaze and save property.
While the plane was lowering over the
burning plant several terrific explo-
sions hurled molten steel and blazing
debris dangerously near 1t and caused
conclusions that rocked the ship per-
ilously.
Two attempts were made by air
planes to get photographs of the fire
and explosions, but though a number
of exposures were made at different
elevations between so and 1000 feet
above the plant, the films were worth
less, doubtless through accidents TO
the trigger and shutter caused by the
intense heat.

Consumption of beans by the United
States army averages 621a tons day.
Dried beans are a popular dish among
Uncle Sans soldiers, and they receive
the best that can be furnished. Beans
have high value as food and are
especially suitable for men under in
tensive training, experts of the war
department have found.
All the beans required by the United
States and the allies for the coming

chaser, the food administration grain
corporation, which has made arrange

officials of the United States food
administration estimate that 100000
persons eat daily in hotels, restau-
rants, dining cars and other eating
places which are affected by the regu-
lations about to be enforced to save
food. One of the new rules is that an
allowance of two pounds of sugar for
each 80 meals served is to be the limit
for such establishments.
In addition to economizlng food the
rules have for their object the simpli-
fication of service. Meat and vege-
tables are to be served on one plate,
thus obviating side dishes. There viii
be lesser number of articles of food
and reduction in the number and
sizes of menu cards. These regula-
tions are expected to save labor and
essential materials.

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

 Above. their rest there is no sound of Only the voice of song-birds thrills the air; Unknown their graves. yet they are in Gods keeping: There are none missing. from His tender care. He knows each hallowed mound, and at His pleasure Marshals the sentinels of earth and sky; Ger their repose kind Nature heaps Famed by soft winds which 'roNnd them gently sigh. Bravely they laid their all upon the Counting as naught the sacrifice and Theirs but to dc and die without Ours to enjoy the victory and the gain. They are not lost: that only which was mortal Lies meath the turf OCT arched by Southern skies; Deathless they wait beyond the heav- enly portal. In thc'r fair land where valor never dies, In the great heart of coming genera Their fame shall live, their glory Even when comes to all earth's trou- abled nations Gods perfect gift of universal peace.

Hats of! Hats of! Along the street
 there comes A blarei of bugles, a ruffle of drums, A flash of color beneath the sky. Hats off! The Flag is passing by. Blue and crimson and white it shines Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines, Hats off The colors before us fly But more than the Flag is passing by. Sea fights and land fights, grim and
 great,
 Fought to make and save a State; Weary marches and sinking ships, Cheers of victory on dying lips; Days of plenty and days of peace. March of a strong lands swift in-
 crease;
 Equal justice, right and law. Stately honor and reverend awe. Sign of a nation great and strong To guard her people from foreign

 Pride and glory and honor. all Live in the colors to stand or fall. Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare og bugles, rufTie of drums, And loyal hearts are beating high. Hats off The Flag is passing by. . Anon.

POETRY
THE RRAvnsT nATTLEs.

The bravests battle that ever was
 fought;
 Shall tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find
 it not;
 It was fought by the mothers of men Nay, not with cannon or battle shot, With. sword or bravsr pen; Nay, not with eloquent word or From mouths of wonderful men. But deep in a woman's walled-up Of woman that would not yield, But bravely, silently bore her part. Lo. there is that battlefield. No marshaling troops, no bivouac song, No banner to gleam and wave; But. oh. these battles. they last so
 long,
 From babyhood to the grave. Yet, faithful still as a bridge of stars. She fights in her walled-up town, Fights on and on in the endless wars, Then silent unseen, goes down. Oh, ye with banners and battle shot, And soldiers to shout and pTaisei tell you the kindliest victories fought Were fought in those silent ways.
