AIR PILOTS LOOK
FOR WEATHER REPORTS
When Machines Are Going on Long
Flight Into Germany 1t Is Desir-
able to Know the Weather.

A British Aerodrome Somewhere in
France, July 81 Correspondence Of the
Associated Press An hour before dusk,
weather reports from all parts of France,
as well as from London and the English
coast, begin pouring into the office of
the night bombing squadron" When
machines are going ON long fight to
bomb German towns, it is very desirable
to know what weather may be expected.
By means of little balloon whose
speed and direction, as it scars upward,
is registered by special instrument, the
direction and force Of the wind at differ
ent levels is discovered. This informa-
tion tells the airman what course he
must steer and what allowances he must
make for detection and winddrift.
The pilots and observers are called into
the mapping office and the orders for the
night are read aloud by the commanding
officer Maps are collected, and photo
graphs of the objective are examined, so
that the airmen may familiarize them
selves with the surroundings as they APP
pear from the air.
Then they hurry away to their rooms
and get ready for the long fight through
the cold night skies.
Heavy sweaters are donned and soft
leather thigh boots lined with white
neece are pulled on over thick wooden
stockings. Mufilers are wrapped around
necks and mouths. The airmen climb
into overall suits of waterproof material
lined with long black fur. These are Sc.
curely strapped at ankles and wrists.
Fur-lined leather helmets and goggles
are put on, and yellow whale oil is
smeared over the face to prevent frost
bite. Then, gathering up their thick fur
gloves, their torches and maps, their
sandwiches and vacuum TASKS, their
notebooks and pencils, the airmen strad-
die awkwardly out TO the aerodrome,
where the great machines stand silently
in a dim line, relay to burst into life at
the order to start.
The first Of the big machines slowly
takes across the aerodrome, turns to
face the wind, halts a little and then,
gathering momentum every second, it
PUSHES across the grass and climbs up
into the night till it can no longer be
seen, and its two wing tip lights, like
fiery eyes, alone show where it moves in
the darkness. For several minutes its
pulsng drone can be heard as it climbs
in great circles over the aerodrome.
Every eye is turned skywards watching
the little lights. Suddenly ball OF red
appears in the sky, drops slowly, and
dies out 1t is signal describing the
weather conditions up aloft, and convey
ing an order to those on the ground
One by one the huge machines glide
out into the middle of the field thunder
across the grass, and rise, soaring to
the stars. For time their murmur fills
the skies, but soon a heavy silence des-
cends on the aerodrome while in the east
beyond the German lines can be seen the
pale fingers Of the cropping searchlights

How Toasts Originated.

The custom of drinking the health
of the most popular man at the table
has its foundation in the ancient prac-
tice originated by the Greeks and
adopted by the Romans Of drinking to
the gods and the dead, observes an
exchange.
The Greeks and Romans later began
the practice of drinking to each other,
and from this arose the custom Of
toastlng living men. But health drink
Ing in Its modern form, originating in
England in the registering days of
Charles II, begins with the custom of
drinking to the ladies or to any WON,
an who happened to be the reigning
belle Of the court.
Many and various were the quaint
customs associated with the toasts of
those days. For example, In certain
companies of military officers etiquette
demanded that the cup should be pass
ed from hand to hand.
In many midnight gatherings of Asa
tia gallants stabbed themselves in or.
der to drink with their blood the health
of the woman on whom their hearts
were set.-Kansas City Journal.

SALON A SUCCESS.
First One Held in Paris Since Beginning
of War.

of War.
Paris, Aug. 1.-THE first salon to be
held since the war has just closed its
doors, after being open two months, The
receipts from entries reached the equivs
lent Of $4,000 and the sum taken in
from the sale Of works exhibited was
$4,000. The figures are considered very
satisfactory as the opening of the ex-
hibition conceded with the commence
ment Of the bombardment Of the capital
by long-range guns and with the active
period Of air raids, two events which
led to the departure Of many people who
would have witnessed the show.
The exhibition was held in the Petit
Palais in the Champs Elysees, the Grand
Palais being now a hospital, and the two
societies, the Artistes Francois and the
Beaux Arts. generally known as the old
and New Salons, combined their forces
instead of holding separate exhibitions
