PLANES IDENTIFIED BY TUNE
Discovery Made by American Proves
Extremely Valuable to British
Aviation Service.

Air raids on London are no longer
the sure-fire stuff for heartening the
German people that they once were.
Lately the raiders usually find that
they can raid up to the English coast
and then have to raid right back home
again. A young American is given
credit for the success of the British in
surrounding their capital with shrap-
mel barrage whenever the German fiy-
ers approach.
A Brooklyn youth who had enlisted
in the British aviation service was as
signed to test out an airplane detector
which was expected to discover the ap-
proach of airplanes before they could
be heard, so to speak, with the naked
eye. No one expected that the device
would make it possible to tell whether
the approaching plane were German
or British.
His musical studies had trained the
Americans hearing to a high degree,
however. He listened through the in
strument for several days while only
British planes flew within its range.
Then he heard different note A Ger.

MADE MARCHING MEN SMILE
Appeal of Groups of Partisan Midi
nettes Got Desired Results From
Passing British Soldiers.

The Paris Figaro recounts the fol-
lowing picturesque episode at review
recently, which admirably expressed
the enthusiastic admiration of the
Partisan crowd for the British SOL
diers. The latter marched past, stern
and impressive. Groups of midinettes
observed that the soldiers were not
smiling. "Smile. please, smile" they
cried in French. The men did not
falter. but continued to march, grave
and meditative, because they did not
understand. "Cry Smile to them"
linguist in the crowd suggested.
whereupon the group of midinettes
cried in English, "Smile, please.

Turk flung himself on him. and the

Airmen Need Good Lungs.

Good lungs are the most important
requirement for an airman. declared
Maj Martin Flack of the British air
ministry. Keen sight, good hearing,
and good hands are all important to
an air pilot. but the most important
thing of all is lungs. The successful
pilot is generally deep breather, who
can take in more oxygen than the or
binary man and is able to hold his
breath longer. He is thus able to with
stand the strain of an atmosphere

possible. When the last draft law
was put into operation there was
more or less opposition and in many
communities efforts weae made TO
evade the law, not so much by the
men who were subject to the draft as
by those who were really opposed to
carrying on the war snd who shared
the idea, which was once fostered to
large extent by certain people in
this country, that tne government had
no right to draft men TO fight on for
eign soil. All that has been settled
so far as legal questions are involved,
and there is no reason why everybody
