Spelling HUNS SLEEP
DesuItory Bombing Distracts
AntiairCraft GunnerS..
Drop Two and Fit Away; When Fritz
Settles Down, Wake Him
Up Again.

Behind the British Lines In France.
One of the most exciting tasks to
which airmen are assigned is "desul-
tory bombing" over one spot for an
hour or more. The object is to dis
tract the attention of the antiaircraft
defenders of a given district.
A machine carrying dozen or more
bombs is employed for the work. The
airman, pilot and an observer ap-
prOach their target cautiously. With
engines throttled down, the craft glides
nearer and nearer.
Below all is quiet. No German
Searchlights are sweeping the sky.
When the attackers are almost over
their object a rocket rises and bursts
into a cluster of red stars.
The machine has been discovered.
At once six or seven searchlights throw
their beams aloft. The pilot looks at
his watch; it is time to begin bombing.
He flies steadily on, although bar
rage of bursting shells lies now in
front of him. The observer looks
through the wires of his bomb sight.
He thrusts his lever forward and re-
leases two bombs. A few seconds
later he sees the flash of their explo-
.sions, and hears two dull roars. He
signals to the pilot and the machine
sweeps away from the fiery ring of
shells and searchlights.
A few miles away the airplane flies
to and fro at top speed. The puzzled
,searchlights vainly feel the sky in all
directions and then, one by one, are
switched off.
Then the pilot quickly returns to-
ward the target. Another bomb is
dropped. AS it explodes the search
lights reappear and the barrage is re-
newed, while through the shell bursts
are threaded the chains of green fam
ing globes so much used by the Ger
mans.
Again the machine flies away and
this time to bewilder the soldiers be-
low, the observer fires a white Verey
light, which slowly drifts down and
fades out. All the searchlights follow
it until it dies.
Repeatedly the airmen return to the
attack. Bombs are dropped at inter
walls until the end of the hour when
the machine departs, Pickering fires
and clouds of smoke telling Of the
havoc wrought by the bombs.

are to be employed in Lake County,

valley will soon be broken by the noise
of tractors and the glare of headlights.

would employ day and night forces
on his 6,000-acre ranch below Lowell.
Fully one-half of this will be reserved

KNIT OR NOT KNIT

That threatens to become the burning
question of the hour Patriotic women of
our fair land have worn their fingers to the
bone in deity fashioning various knitted
things to add to the comfort of the soldier
boys, and the work is yet going on. Now
comes the announcement with all the de-
morallzlng effect of a bomb from an unde-
tected skyplane in cloudland that these dear
women have been wasting wool and energy.
IL IS known that the supply of wood falls
short OF the unprecedented demand, and to
the CONSERVATION which that imposes these
mathematical sharks add new fear by sol
EMMY charging our knitting brigade" with
the waste of 20,OO0,0OO pounds of the more
than merely golden fleece.
The women have been proud of their
achievement. The men were no less pleased
by the proof of ability and patriotism shown
by the gentler sex. But now-"why, how
perfectly terribly awfulv'
In pointing out to the fair knitters the err
ror of their way it is claimed that none of
the soldiers ever wear a sweater in the
trenches or on the field Of battle that alb
dOminal bands are never worn for the rea-
son that-well, there are 'cooties," yea
know, and the villainous things have to nest
somewhere. Wristlets are used to protect
the metal firing mechanism of guns from
moisture, where some old rag would better
serve the purpose, we are told and as for
the helmets so painstakingIy fashioned by
Mary and Manufacturing at all is said,
adding mystery to the other burdens war has
inflicted. Time is wasted along with the
wool, also, it seems, for it is pointed out
that one average woman with machine can
knit more in a minute than several thousand
hand knitters can accomplish in like time,
and do better work besides. Wouldn't that
break your needles!
And the women? Bless you The dear
creatures are not saying a word about it?
They are just knitting. And they will keep
on knitting so long as the Red Cross au-
thorities ask them to, for they realize that
that wonderful organization is not working
in the dark-that it knows exactly what it
wants, and what the soldiers need.
