and we saw these machines in vast
number arming and starting for the
battlefront.
The testing of the engines gave an
idea Of the tremendous power of the
new cars. The cars were anchoded
by heavy chains, and workmen grip
ped the long body to keep it from
piunging as the propeller started and
the engines gave out a long wall.
The men, gripping the chains and
rigging, were swept as though in a
tornado, the grass was f1attened and
great clouds of dust rose like the
smoke of batteries. There is an awe
in the power of this engine and its
whirling propeller, and a danger too,
which the men have learned
The suction of the propeller while
the car is on the ground is far grea-
.er than has even been known with
other cars. A workman was drawn
in and killed the other day, and the
great malstrom of rushing air sucks
in everything coming within ten feet
of its mouth. But this is merely a
detail of testing and has no bearing
on the capacity O. the car for blight
Like the power of the engine, the
propeller is much larger and heavier

THE BOARD FOR HIM.
Old Noncommissioned Officer
Makes Significant Suggestion to
Inefficient Lieutenant.

Chicago News: The new, made
while-you-wait lieutenant had been
drilling the company and making
numerous glaring blunders, much to
the disgust of the old sergeant, who
had followed soldering for fifteen
years. After the company was dis
missed the new officer asked the
sergeant where he could find good
board, as he did not care to eat at
the mess. The old noncom took
his superior gently by the arm and
pointed to the village hard by. "You
go right down Main street" said
he, "an' call at l26 an you'll find
just the board you need.
The officer, following directions,
came to l26, over the door of which
he read this sign: ~. S. Army Ef-
ficiency Board"

Into Its Own Again.
A few weeks ago, there was a
Strengthening of the British line,
at this point, the line moving for
ward. An ambulance aid-post took
over the cellar, the wounded were
brought in on stretchers and at
tended to by candlelight. Then the
sound of the guns moved further
away. and an engineers dump was
established in the village. The Gel
lar was filled with coils of wire and
men working on machinery of va
rious kinds, and the men sang as
they worked.
Finally the engineers moved else
where and party of men came up
and started building a strange new
house above the old cellar. 1t was
one of the first of the new advance
stations of the Y. NJ. c. A., and as
soon as it was finished it began to
fill up with crowds of men not so
different from the men of the old
days. One of the workers, rum
maging in the debris in the cellar,
found the old signboard, discolored
and Clipped. They have put it up
over the door, and the white

London, May 15.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press)-
"May | have light, please sir?"
Thank you! Yes, sir!"
In the streets OF London it has
come to pass that tobacco smokers
accommodate each other in this
manner more often than ever be-
fore, owing to the fact that the me
tropolis today is experiencing the
greatest shortage in matches since
the modern lighter came into COM
mon usage.
Smokers have no hesitancy what
ever in asking the man in the street
for "bit of fire" from his pipe,
cigar or cigarette and invariably
the man with the light is eager to
aid the man who has smoke in
immediate prospect.
Women, in the lounging rooms of
the hotels, feel at liberty to request
light" of the man or woman at
the next table, so universal has be-
come the custom.
Before the war London was sup
piled with matches principally from
Sweden But the German subma-
rine and other factors have inter
fered with this business and SO Lon
don now is getting along the best
she can with little wax matches
of English manufacture, which are
not only expensive, but not of suf-
ficient output to come any where
near supplying the demand.
In the hotel lobbics where fires
are nearly always burning, little
rolls of paper, as Of the custom OF
hundreds of years ago, are kept in
receptacles for accommodation of
the smokers who light their pipe,
cigar or cigarette from the hot
Goals.
And in the clubs, the fashionable
clubs and all, the old style squatty
oil lamp has again come into use,
after many years Of retirement, and
burns in convenient places. Be
side the lamp is glass half filled
with sand into which thin layers
of wood are stuck after the fire is
transferred from the lamp to the
smokers tobacco.
Matches used in the United States
are seldom seen in London, except
in the hands Of newly arrived Amer
leans who, having heard OF the
shortage, brought their own sup
ply. When this supply is exhaust
ed the American adopts the war
time tobacco lighting measure and
soon is asking the man in the street
for light, sir or takes advan-
tage of the rolled paper sticks at
the club or hotel.
Relief by means Of match ship
ments from America is not looked
or until the shipping from the
