Ma" Holton at the supper table.

In the silence that followed, Azalia
Holton sat absorbed in thought. She
knew Bryant Churchill only as she re-
called his features on richly toned litho-
graphed music sheets. He was a COM
poser. He had never been seen in the
village since the loss of the ocean liner
on which his parents had taken voyage
in quest of foreign property. Then, as
a dreamy boy of five, he had been left in
the care of a relative somewhere to be
properly tutored.
TIL homestead Of Jonathan Holton
adjoined the magnificent estate of the
Churchills. from the time of whose de-
cease he had exercised an oversight of
the premises which was a sympathetic
contribution more than anything else.

While she recoiled at the slightest
mention of anything that might possibly
disturb her haunts about the place, she
entertained the thought that Bryant
Churchill would be a fine young fellow
to know If his likeness on the music
covers was anything to Judge from.

The sale Of vegetables said to have
been stolen from a war garden at
Twenty-seventh and Clearfeld streets led
to the arrest Of Ralph otto. nineteen
years old, Garnet and Cumberland

trate Price, sitting at the Twenty-second

station.
Otto, according to the police, has been

Or put in a claim for exemption,
Oh. why did l hold up my hand?
Why didn't wait for the banquet?
Why didn't l wait to be cheered?

While l merely volunteered.
And nobody gave me a banquet,
Nobody said a kind word.

The grind of a wheel,

TROUBLE
IN CITY FOLLOWS
VERY HEAVY RAINS
'F9FITMl

Trouble from excessive rains with
pavement in all parts of the city was
reported yesterday following the early
morning deluge and it was not long be-
fore gangs from the street and paving
forces were on the job. repairing the
damage or else tagging the injured ter
ritory, to make it safe for traffic until
such trouble could be remedied The
first trouble with the brick pavement
developed when a bad break occurred
at the intersection OF Hayne and
Wright streets. At this point it is
thought, the foundation surface was
undermined and a whole segment
broke 1t is said that it gave WY UNI
der the foot of a hurry,ng pedestrian,
but the latter was unhurt although
badly frightened by the experience Of
going into a puddle of water under
meath the bricked surface.
Trouble with wood block paving was
reported from a number of points in
widely-separated sections OF the city.

CITY MEN GOOD FARM WORKERS

Use of city men as farm workers in emer-
yency seasons has demonstrated not only that
many men employed in cities and towns were
reared on farms and are skilled in harvest labor,
but also that city men can stand the heat and
sxertion of the harvest field, and attack their
tasks with willingness and patriotic enthusiasm.
This was reported by the federal farm help
specialist in Kentucky at the department of
agriculture's recent harvest labor conferences in
Birmingham, Ala. and it is stated that the fed
sral employment service contemplates sending
arge numbers of city men to harvest the grain
rops of the northwest.

ALLIES DEVELOP BoMB-DROPPING
PLANES


There were no aerial bombing organizations
n the allied flying corps during the first year
# the war. Practically all the work in the air
vas in the natNe Of observation. No pilots
could be spared for anything else. Today prob
ably twenty-five per cent of the aerial arms are
bombing squadrons of twelve machines per
squadron.
The first bombing was done by volunteer
plots who flew over the German lines and
dropped three four bombs, made from artillery
shells, on concentration camps, and environments.
Showers of small steel arrows were spilled some
Times on conveys, troop trains, and bodies of
n1assed men. The Germans began day bombing
If cities in 1915, and the allies bombarded Karls-
.uhe in reprisal later in the same year. Since
shen evolution in organized bombing developed
rapidly and the French began night bombing,
out this was not undertaken by the Germans
until August, 1916.
At the present time large groups, including
several squadrons of bombing machines go over
the lines from time to time and completely
destroy their objective, be it a city or camp,
column of troops, a trench system. I'm
fortunately the allies air forces have to travel
for many miles over hostile territory defended
by ant-aircraft guns to attack German cities,
while the enemy can attack French cities by fly
ing only short distance beyond the allied lines.
The allies are developing large bombing planes
which carry sufficient fuel for long excursions
and armament to protect them when they are
attacked by fighting planes. Bombing squadrons
are escorted usually over the lines by fast fight
ing squadrons of eighteen planes to a squadron,
and then left to their own devices for the fight
ers seldom carry sufficient fuel to permit them
to accompany the bombers on the round trip.
The dropping of the bomb is similar to shoot
ing rifle. First, you set your sights and wind
gauge, you hold the rifle properly, and finally
you pullebhe trigger at the proper moment If
your ammunition is standard, your sights cor
rect, you hit the target. So with bombing. If
you set your sights correctly, fly your plane cor
rectly over the objective and drop the bomb at
the proper time you will hit the target. If the
ammunition manufacturers gave you good
bombs the objective will be destroyed.
Official reports from the fighting lines indi-
cate that all of the "ifs' mentioned above have
become actualities and that the allies are carry
ing off the honors in bomb dropping as well as
in the other branches of modern warfare

PENSACOLA SHOULD DO IT'S PART


Next in Importance to the locating of the
steel shipbuilding plant here is the announce
rnent that several hundred modern and sub
stantial dwellings are to be erected to house the
workers.
This means that the building of steel ships
Is to continue permanently in Pensacola. 1t
means further that the government will make
immediately an additional investment in Pensa-
cola of three-quarters of million dollars. As
a result, thousands of well paid workers will be
added to our population. materially increasing
the wealth and prosperity of the entire COM
munity.
The government is showing its appreciation
of our natural advantages in substantial way.
but we cannot depend wholly upon the favors
of nature for success city. There are some
things which we must do if we are to reap the
full benefits of our geographical location, our
climate and our harbor.
The government protects the health of its
workers and insists that they be housed under
entirely sanitary conditions. Each house must
have a bath with sewer onnection-modern
The government will build the houses accord
ing to it's specifications, but asks the city to
partially provide the necessary civic improve
ments. 1t is willing to bear half the expense
to meet the city halfway.
Engineers estimate the cost of the improve
ments at 100000, of which the government will
pay all in excess of 100000. To provide the
city's share of the expense, the commissioners
have included 100000 in the proposed bond
issue which is to be determined at an election
on August Is.
That the city should provide the one hundred
thousand dollars is generally admitted. 1t is our
patriotic duty to assist in providing housing for
the ship workers and it is also to business
against the merit of the proposal.
Practically every taxpayer seems to favor the
portion of the bond issue pertaining to the ship
building plant and the only question that has
been raised regarding any of the proposed issues
has rested upon the channel for disbursement
Of the funds.
With just and proper safeguards placed around
the spending of the money, the bond issue is
certain to be approved.
Pensacola has habit of fulfilling its obligations
and it viii take pleasure in doing everything in
Is power that the government asks.
