other idea:
Can you take US up on the roof?''
Not any more. SIR" smiled the ele-
vator man. Its forbidden by the po-
lice. But can take you up where
you can get good view"
So, in place of going down, we went
up. and out OF darkened windows
looked into the sky, wherc a dozen
powerful searchlights crossed and re-
crossed right over our heads. against
the brilliant moonlight.
There's one of the beggars right
above u.s." remarked the elevator
man, lowering his voice to a half
whisper, almost as IL there might be
some danger that the "beggar above
US" could hear. THE searchlights
have been hunting him for half an
hour, but he's high up; two miles or
more"
There came a streaking flare
straight down through the sky.
An incendiary bomb. and it blazed
up where 1t hit, not over three blocks
away.
AS IL angered, the big guns on Lon
don Bride, and the huge French 75s
along the Thames. increased their
bombing with redoubled fury.
No chance to get the Boche at that
height, but they could keep him from
coming close enough to make an ac-
curate drop.
What trace of apprehension there
had been in us had disappeared,
though we were closer to the danger
by being out from under the piles OF
sandbags which protected the main
roof.
And there seemed to be no fear in
the elevator man.
1t was all unreal. unbelievable!
Out there was the beautiful clear
sky, with the moon shining brightly,
and the stars beginning to pale in the
first faint gray of the dawn.
The searchlights, centering over us
to find the "beggar just above
seemed like show of some sort.
The Mysterious Hour.
1t was monstrously past comprehen-
sion that in this beautiful sky there
hovered machines, guided by human
malevolence, which were dropping
bombs deliberately meant to deal
death and destruction to US and all
about us. to kill and MAIN women
and children, and the i'll and wounded
in the hospitals!
The view was too limited out OF
these narrow windows and between
the slits of buildings, so we went
downstairs.
Only a few people, and those mostly
from the top floor, were in the big.
dim lobby, and no one seemed partic-
ularly perturbed.
We asked if we were permitted to
so outside. Oh. yes, we might.
The authorities would rather we
would not, on account of the possible
danger of flying debris; but there was
nothing. really, to prevent us.
So we went
Wonderfully mysterious. those Lon
don streets at night; weirdly dark,
with shaded street lamps. in tangled,
diminishing perspectives, casting
downward their cones of luminous
mist, and vague, shadowy figures
fitting silently into and out of the
lighted circles; gaunt, dim cabs. with
their drivers swathed into shapeless
Jumps, formless plodding carts and
wagons, silent and motionless Bob
bies," huddled early risers shufflinG
almost invisibly too and fro on a
thousand missions of their own, and
now, silent little groups here and
there. faces upturned.
Nothing to see.
The airships were so high up as to
be invisible; they were not even
specks in the clear sky. Presently,
too, the booming of the big guns be-
came more intermittent, and finally
ceased. The air raid was over. Over,
and no great damage done!

False Alarm.

The siren sounded again in the
streets of Paris, only a few seconds
after that first warning, and the cur
tain slid slowly down on our London
memory, as the lights were dimmed
in our decorous French restaurant.
The walters came away from the
door, smiling and struggling their
shoulders, and the head waiter low
cred his hand.
He considered it his duty to laugh
extravagantly for the reinsurance of
his guests, and did so, thought 1t was
entirely unnecessary.
The French officer who was enter
tanning his family exchanged a smile
with them, resumed pouring the wine.
The young English officer lit a fresh
! match, and the pretty girl took up
her silvery laugh where she had left
! it off, with a curious effect of begin
ming again with the inaudible echo.
The American contractor observed
Probably false alarm" and set
down his river and put bridge across
1t.
The French banker, his eye twink
| ling with amusement at the excessive
-hilarity of the head-waiter, tasted his
dessert and found 1t good, and we put
lemon on our fiat, round oysters.
There seemed nothing else in par
ticular to do.
Nowhere in particular to go, for
one place was as safe as another,
and If anything were to happen it
would, and II not, not.
No single diner left until he had
finished, no one went to window or
q door.
OF course It had been false alarm.
Why Does the Boche Do TIT
One of the alert French gendarmes
of the air, far towards the border,
had heard a strange engine way over
head. and too far inside the line, so
he gave the alarm for the chase, and
a mistake in signals had treated the
city to long obsolete thrill. in spite
of the fact that the raiders are
scarcely likely ever again to reach
Paris.
The bugle sounded '.all clear in a
short time after the warming, and the
vigilant airmen. who never cease to
circle above thair precious Paris,
flashed their coal orting lights as they
whirre and dlened and tobogganed

cottonseed Flour.

Women students of the; University

of experiments with cottonseed flour.
These students volunteered as sub
jects, and for five days ate a speciai
diet made up of cottonseed flour In
combination with cornmeal, butter,
sugar and grape juice. Each subject
had 100 grams or about three and one
half ounces of cottonseed flour in the
form of bread. Results showed an av-
erage digestibility for the protein OK
cottonseed flour to be about 80 per
cent, placing it in the same class as
