rNsuNG HEROES THE BUzzER-

In our present wal machine there
are many spectacular parts to excite
wonder in the civilian and to win his
praise because Of exceptional perfor-
nance. An army may be likened TO a
racing automobile. The driver, with
his hands on the wheel and throttle,
10 the generalissimo, seated 10 or Is
miles back OF the firing line, picking
the course for his million man-pow-
er machine. The cylinders and pis-
tons represent the artillery, giving
power TO the advance. The transmits
sion. making use OF hat power. is the
infantry. The ignition system? That
is the signal corps. members Of which
are familiarity known as "buzzers."
In a modern army system, cutting the
lines of communication with head
quarters for a single day often would
mean utter rout instead of victory, and
death to thousands instead Of triumph.
The buzzer Is, perhaps, the most nee
essary cog in the whole machine. his
work Is more dangerous than an aver
age OF all the other active branches of
warfare. and yet he is f%orgottenl
In the battle OF Sunken Road. at
the time Of the Somme advance. the
buzzer had one chance to show how
desperately important his work is to
an army attacking. Bombers and in
fantry In three waves had occupied
Sunken Road. hat trenchlike artery
which winds about the bloody battle
ground Of High Wood, connecting the
towns Of Bapaume and Albert. Hold
ing this strip of road had been thought
impossible, but for tactical reasons
which developed later, the terse com
mand had been given the attackers:
Hold Sunken Road until relieved"
According to Serk Sherman Lam
arck Of the Queens Royal West Sur
rey regiment. a survivor Of this en-
gagement. the first thing every man
in the Two buzzer squads did upon re-
ceiving this news. was to sit down and
make a new Will Surely an excellent
testimonial TO the quiet life led by
the electric moles," as one Irish pri-
waite called them.
After a terrific engagement in which
IA officers and over 200 men lost their
lives, the Sunken Road objective was
attained. The moment the hand-to-
hand fighting cleared sufficiently to
allow Il. the buzzer squads dug out
inches In the mud walls, installed their
instruments, and sent out Priyates
Lemm and Sennich with the reels.
Each wheel was wound with rs yards
Of heavy wire, PROCEED against heat,
and made to resist explosion better
than ordinary copper cable. The two
men. scrambling to their feet on the
rim of the parados, seized the reels
and swung them. much as a bowler
swings a ball that is too heavy for
him.
When released the reels rolled a
few yards out into No Mans Land,
and tumbled into pockets made by the
British barrage 90 minutes previously.
On hands and knees. scuffling along
the muddy, uneven terrain. came the
two buzzers, following the uncoiled
wire. which looped up in many places
five or six inches from the ground as
II dreading contact with the mud.

meal. Millers should give special at
tention to the preparation of corn
meal Of good quality and housewives
should use increased quantities Of this
nutritious and palatable product as a
substitute for wheat in bread making
and for other purposes. 1t is more
practicable to increase the use Of corn
meal in this country than abroad, for
our people are familiar with corn az
a food, while most European peoples
are not, though now they try to DO
what they can. With US the problem
is not to learn to use something new
but only to make more use of some
thing which we already know and like

WHY USE CORN MEAL.

A t~hirty-five bushel yield Of corn
which crop produces more human food
than any other commonly grown on
American farms, will supply nearly
$50 pounds of protein NEEDED for flesh
building and more han 10000 600 units
(calories) of energy. Wherever con-
ditions are favorable for extending
acreage it is evident that con-
siderable addition can be made to the
supply of human food.
