REBREATHING MACHINE
LATEST FOR BIRDMEN
All Must Make Test Before Going
Overseas.

Fort Worth, Texas, June S.-By
"rebreathing machine here, the
first of its kind to be established
by the United States government or
any of its allies anywhere, aviators
flying under the Stars and Stripes
henceforth will be classified accord
ing to their ability to thrive in high
attitudes.
The machine is in research lab

and is ncharge of Lieut.. G.. II.

Blair, who arrived in Fort Worth
recently from Mineola, N. Y. 1t
produces all the sensations of as
cending and descending and has
been in use by the German air
service, it is said, for five years.
Henceforth, no pilot from any of
the local fields will be assigned to
active duty overseas until he has
passed the tests OF the contrivance
and been classified according to
his ability to withstand altitude
fatigue. Experience has taught
that many air casualties are due to
this fatigue. One man will be so
affected that he will faint. Another
will go along with his flying ma
chine mechanically and with his
mind SO dulled that he cannot plan
or execute an attack on an enemy.
Still another will become stupid and
his nerves will not react to the ex-
citement of battle.
The pilots will be divided into
three classes. In the first class will
be placed airmen who are never af-
fected by altitude fatigue and who
can ascend and fight anywhere
heir planes will mount.
In the next class will be those
whose mental faculties are dulled
1y high altitude.
And in the last, or third, will be
hose who faint under the stress.

Summer roses blooming,
Tossing perfumes to the breeze
Where the robins gayly sing
In the shelter of the trees.
Rose, how kin you blossom so?
You don't know; you jes' don t
know!
SweetlY sounds the birds soft tone
Never seems obliged to try.
It's song of natures own
Like baby's laughin' sigh.
Bird, why are you singin' so?
You don't know; you jes' don't
know!
Bird tryin' hard to tell
With long melodous coo
That you love the world so well,
AMI you're sure it will love you.
We are glad it's ordered so

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Asphalt, wiki which SO many
roads are paved, was found by ac-
cident. Many years ago, in Swift
zerland. natural rock asphalt was
discovered, and for more than a
century it was used for the purpose
OF extracting the rich stores OF
bitumen it contained.
The Chinese are very skillful in
making confectionery, and possess
the reputation of having many Sc
crets. They are able to empty an
orange of its pulp entirely, then
fill it up with fruit jelly without
one being able to find the smallest
cut in the rind or even 4 tiny hole.
Post cards were first used in Aus
tria. They became part of that
country's postal service in 1869.
They cost less than half cent to
send, and tn. first were limited to
twenty-five words. They were tax
EN- up by England year later. The
first picture post card is said to
nave been scEt in England in 1891.
Some two or three years later the
.irst view cards made their appear
snce. Post cards came into use
lere in 1877.

Army hours are strictly observed
Reveille is sounded by the buglers
at an hour that brings muffled pro-
tests from the few civilian passen-
gers on board, the blasts penetrat-

Sometime later, after the civilians
have rolled over in their berths and
are about to fall asleep again, there
is mighty tramping on decks and
in the corridors as the hungry SOL
diers pour up from their quarters
below, eager for breakfast.
lmpatiently they await the sum
mons, which is beaten on an instru-
ment that sounds to the unfortunate
civilian like a sheet of boiler plate,
and when it comes, they are off with
rush for the huge hrst-cabin din
ing room. And it is not until they
have satisfied their husky appetites
that the officers and civilians are
called to their breakfast in the
smaller dining room which before
