The patriotic Pennsylvania will
join hands with Mr.. Hoover and
Mr.. Heinz i'll their effort to save
sugar, in order that our allies
in Europe may be supplied with
that very necessary article of diet.
After all, the task set for the CON
sumner is not "A heavy one. Cut your
use of sugar about one-quarter," said
Howard Heinz, U. s. Food Admins
traitor for Pennsylvania, to an audi
ence of Philadelphia housewives a
few days ago. Surely not an onerous
requirement.
To the manufacturer of certain
products containing sugar the Food
Administration says
Limit your use of sugar to so per
cent of normal" and even to this rule
there are exceptions in favor of man
ufacturers who produce such neces-
sares as fruit and vegetable pre-
serves, catsup, chill sauce, canned
milk, jams, jeIIies, ice cream, medi-
cines, apple butter, honey and meat
preparations in which sugar is used
for preservation.

MECHANICS STUCK TO PAPERS
London Journals Have Had Many APP
pellations, Some Humorous and
Some Bestowed In Derislon.

Unless the cocoa Press" and the
"Gramophone Press" can be regarded
as nicknames, these seem to have
gone out of the fashion of late years.
Nobody now refers to the Morning
Post as "Jeames" after the charac-
ter Thackeray invented, and even
the Times itself is seldom referred to
as the "Thunderer," although it still
makes big noise in the world. New
ertheless certain sporting paper is
never called by its proper name, but
always referred to as ''The Pink
'Un," while opposite schools of politi-
cal thought always refer to their RI
vals evening paper as "The Evening
Rag" The most famous Fleet street
nickname belonged to paper no
longer in existence, the famous
Standard, once the chief cornerstone
in the press of the old Tory party.
This was often referred to as '"The
Old Lady of Shoe Lane" and this
name grew out of the fact that the
Standard and the Morning Herald
were under the same directorate, and
yet strove to appear independent and
quoted each other with pretentious
solemnity. Thus they earned the
nicknames of "Mrs. Camp" and
"Mrs. Harris" to a generation of
Dickens readers, Mrs. Camp backing
up her statements by saying what
Mrs. Harris, who had no real exist
ence, had once commented on the
same subject in her hearing.

FOOD CONTROL
RESTRICTIONS

One thing that people are be-
ginning to recognize is that the
Food administration will be just
as ready to raise the restrictions
upon the consumption of food
when conditions warrant as it
was vigorous in applying them.
The Food Administration is a
war agency. 1t is not an agency
for correcting the habits of the
American people, or for reform
ing American economic practices.
II is cooperating with the Amer
lean people to help them to win
the war.-AAIERICAN GROCER.

There are eight American and Canadian teams recruited from various organizations l stationed in London, with games scheduled for each Saturday during the summer.

 the propeller of a tractor airplane that combat plane through the revolving blades. Firing in that fashion, it is necessary to aim the machine gun by steering the plane directly at the tar get. The direction of the plane gives direction to the fire and the pilot can fire the machine gun while controlling the plane. [-@.- - s
 Connected With Engine.
 Airplane propellers reselte at from 800 to 1000 revolutions per minute. The machine gun is connected with the airplane engine by a mechanical or hydraulic device, and impulses from the crank shaft are transmitted to the machine gun. The rate of fire of the machine gun is constant and its fire is synchronized with the revolving pro- peller blades by wasting certain percentage of the impulses it receives from the airplane engine and by hay ing the remaining impulses trip or pull the trigger so that the gun fires just at the fraction of the second when the propeller blades are clear of the line of fire.
 The pilot operates the gun by means of lever which controls the circuit and allows the impulses, ito trip the l trigger. s.-,-s Severe Test ,GiNep. Gun.
 The test given the Browning gun was severe. A gun was mounted on 1 the frame of an American combat plane and connected with the aiFplane engine. The test was conducted on | the ground and in place of the pro- peller a metal disk was attached to the crank shaft The lBfoWning gun was then required to register hits on the metal disk as it revo1yed at varying speeds from 400 to 2,l90 revolutions per minute. The slightest hang fire or delay in action on the part of the gun would have been shown by the failure of the bullets to hit precisely on the spot on the disk representing the center of the zone of fire. The tgun functioned perfectly.
 The drowning gun to be used with
 aircraft is the heavy type with the
 water jacket removed.
 Will Also Use Marlin Gun.
 Besides the Browning. the United
 States will also employ the Marlin
 aircraft gun as a synchronized weapon.
 Several thousand of these have been
 manufactured and the gun is in quen- tity production.
 The British and French use the
 Vickers as synchronized machine
 gun.
 The Lewis aircraft machine gun is used by the British, French and Amer
 ican forces, but for a different pat- pose. In a two seated combat plane fixed machine guns are mounted for
 ward to be onenn+e7 Inv tbe pilot and
 'exible guns are mounted to be op- erated by the vJaStSer 1H> the rear seat of the plane. The observer op-
 crates Lewis guns on flexible mounts firing to right or left of the plane It is of vital importance to have
 absolute reliability of function in 3 'ii synchronized machine gun on tractor
 airplanes. Delays in fire or malfunc tions due to faulty construction or i'm, . perfect ammunition causes bullets ts ) strike the propeller blades. As, many as Is bullets have been known tt strike a propeller blade without caus. : l ing an airplane to fall, but the danges of such occurrences is nevertheless . obvious. For that reason, every eff, fort is made to provide the most per. l feet type of weapon for this work
 Only specially selected ammunition l. fused
