The Smoke Screen in Land Warfare

hold that curtain intact and OPAQUE, but
experience has proved it we'll worth the
cost
In the first place the smoke curtain dis
counts the foes shrapne barrage about 80
per cent, owing to the difficulty the gun
ners have in getting and correcting their
range, and makes machine gun and rife
fire practically useless. 1t allows the con
centration-right out in No Mans Land
of the attacking waves and permits mass
drive upon the almost helpless enemy, as
he cannot know at what point such drive
will strike.
"Then this smoke curtain or barrage can
be moved slowly forward, right up into the
enemy trenches. This, of course, permits
the attackers to get within bayoneting dis
tance without being exposed to rife or
machine gun fire.
AT first the Germans replied to this
method of warfare by sweeping the smoke
curtain with machine gun ire, literally
pouring millions Of bullets into the smoke.
TO Offset this the Americans developed the
habit OF laying down a SMOKE curtain and

in shell craters even in their jumping
off trenches, as the advance lines are
called.
There is but one method Of meeting
perfect smoke curtain-which perfection, of
course, it is difficult to secure, as an unex-
pected wind will sweep away, in a few min
utes, the work of hours of artillery prep
aration and that is to counter charge, to
meet the attackers coming through their
smoke.
This has its disadvantages, as the coun-

clap-valve in the neck, so that they will
initiate with the rush through the air and
VIII! buoy up the apparatus if it should
strike the water. Why does the water
thoughtfully refrain from entering the clap
valve too? The inventor is silent on that
point.
"The machine is to be carried in any
convenient manner upon an aircraft (there
being much spare room an airplane, and
this apparatus could not be much more than
twelve feet long when folded, according to
the size of the seat in the drawing), and
when it is necessary to use it the airman

is quite simple operation; one merely has
to emerge from the wreckage, grasp the
pole, and jump out.
"Having lightly hoated down like a par
ticle of thistledown, and alighted gracefully
like tired bird, the rest is simple, if he is
on the ground; but if he is on the water

The Parachute De Luxe

THE use of parachutes to save the
lives Of airmen whose planes be-
come disabled in the air has often been
suggested, but never practised extern
sively. Fault has often been found with
the parachute. But here is a recently
invented parachute that Popular Sci
ence Monthly" presents to War Depart
ment officials for their serious consider

including steps for the mast on the bear

"Broady considered, the parachute is a
gigantic umbrella of fabric, properly stayed
and arranged to open like regular para
chute. 1t has a hollow stem within which
is a collapsible mast, carrying sail that
can be hoisted to different heights for navi-
eating and signalling. The handle of the
umbrella is nice, comfortable tie-up seat,
for the users convenience. AS the inventor

body partly submerged if desired,' thus, you

sports. Around the edge of the umbrella

'Tn making this apparatus ready for use
it is necessary to pour a small quantity of

Don't Wash Your Eggs

DERSONS purchasing eggs which they
Il expect to keep on hand any length of
time should not wash them, even if they
are dirty. The dirt is wholly on the out
side and only affects the appearance of
the egg. The shell of an egg contains
gelatinous substance which prevents air
and germs from entering the eggs. Wash
ing destroys this substance.
The public has been trained to demand
and buy clean eggs. It should be remem-
bered that dirty eggs, while not pleasing
to the eye, are often the better Accord
ing to the Department of Agriculture,
more than 100000 eggs spoil unneces-
sarily in cold storage every year because
they have been washed or have in some
way become wet before being sent to

But the Americans had still another
idea. One day they laid down smoke cur
tain and then sent attacking parties over
the top after it. Hun aerial observers
noted the number of troops in the attack
ing waves and how they were forming The
news was signalled down and strong coun-
ter attack launched.
"Now came the Yankee surprise Some

THAT was a costly lesson for the Hun,
but he had to be caught thus several times
before he realized that gas masks would be
in order if they wanted to take strolls
through the Yankee smoke curtains

of the smoke screen made by the smoke
shell. 1t is being used almost every day
by the American troops"

Improving on Natures S
Methods

EHE idea that a wooden leg or an mi-
- tation hand can be clapped onto a
wounded man and the case dismissed
with a blessing is thing Of the distant
past-before the war A wooden hand
is good for very little except to look re-
spectacle on the street The thing for
which the doctors are striving now is to
give back to the injured man not a hand,
but the work of a hand.
And this opens possibilities. The work
OF hand may be done in an extraordi-
nary number Of ways. Sometimes Il is
managed by steel rod with tools
clamped to it; sometimes by strong
iron claw. Some of the most eager
thinkers are asking:
"If we are to differ from nature at all
why not differ altogether? Why not re
place one arm by two steel rods. or even
three, so long as they can be made use
ful?"
Men learn that the old motions bv
which they have been accustomed to get
things done are not necessarily the only
ones. A farmer with one arm can use
shovel; he simply has an implement with
a longer handle, which goes through
strap at his waist Then the one arm
does nothing but press down on the
handle, and the shovelful of earth is
lifted just as we'll as by the old method.
If the man wants more power he can
use his knee. Large objects can be
moved by one arm and the hip. A neck
tie can be tied by one hand and the chin.
The hand can be washed by the foot.
