people might ask why they do not
use crates or boxes similar to those
OF bakers deliveries in the United
States. The answer is that such enor-
nous quantities would be necessary
that it is utterly impossible to think
OF such a thing. General experience,
in this war, has demonstrated the
jute bag to be the best shipping con-
tainer
The power plant which generates
the electricity for running the bak-
cries consists of two large turbo-
electric generators and condensers,
with their attendant boilers. switch
boards, etc. The fuel used in the
bakeries Is coke, and the ovens are
SO economical that they require only
eight pounds of coke for each 100
pounds Of bread baked. Looking at 1t
another way. the difference in pay
between that of the number Of men
who would be required to produce
this bread If operating field bakeries
and the number Of men actually rum
ming this mechanical bakery Is suf-
f1clent to pay for the entire plant in
about seven months.
Not so dusty, Is 1t Gas they say in
London)?
say 1T because the dough Is dust
ed with rice -four as it passes through
the hander-up and proven as well az
in the setting trays. to keep 1t from
getting stuck.
The boys require no dusting-they
cannot get stuck. first. because they
get the bread for nothing, and. sec
ondly. because civilians currently
offer SO cents to 81 for the loaf--of
course. in vain. Any one would rather
keep 1t and eat it. When Americans
first began exhibiting this bread
French villagers cried: "Cake" They
still think it cake-few having tasted
1t! The authorities, l am informed,
will not permit n crumb of 1t to be
consumed outside the Army.

The Judge felt in his pocket and
got out his spectacles and put them
on and looked at us. He asked which

Bony was and that he knew Bony's
folks. He said he did.
And you don't want. any divorces
in your family. hey?" he said. why
not?"
Bony didn't say anything. so swatty
started to tell about the bicycle. but
before ne got very far Bony just
doubled over and put his head on his
knees and began to heller like real
baby. SO the Judge stopped swatty.
Son." he said to Swatty. Il guess
you've mistooken the proper legal
grounds for not giving divorces. The
of the condemned things when he Is
related to the separating parties only
by neighborhood Is not sufficient to
sway the court. But you. son." he

So I said I didn't like buttermilk
and the judge said: Caesars ghost!
I didn't mean get 1t for you; I meant

So we got 1t. So Bony's folks didn't
get a divorce. Anyway. II they did

so they must be over there. And bet
those men splashing In the water are
after buffalo with pitchforks. SO
that's where we want to row.
That was pretty fine, wasn't 1t.
when we couldn't row at all? told
Swatty so. I said we'd better shout
and have the men come and get us.
Swatty said they'd just think 1t was
that's What they did think tor we
shouted and shouted and when we
quit we could still hear the men
Laughing and talking and splashing.
SO then Swatty sat down and put his

So he did. / wouldn't have done it
for million dollars and l tried to
make him not to. but he did it. He
took Off his clothes and lowered him :
self over the side of the boat and
said, garsh! how cold it was! So then
he edged himself along. holding onto
the side of the boat and all at once
he SwOrc.
"What?" me and Bony both asked
at once.
Bob wire!" he said and he let go
with one hand and felt down into the

water. Then he took hold OF the boat
with both hands and felt along under
he said. 'It's a bob-wire fence"
So that was what 1t was. There was
a bob wire fence and we had rowed
right on top Of one of the posts and
stuck there. on a nail or something
and the post was loose in the mud and
wrench loose by rowing. And that
was why the mush- house did not
float down stream. 1t was caught on
another post. So all at once Swatty
said:
II know where we are: we're in
Shebberd's lower corn fleld!" And that
was where we were. The water had
come up and covered it up to the tops
of the bOb-wire fence posts.
Well, Swatty's teeth were chatter
ing but he wouldn't get right into the
boat. He made me and Bony row
while he was out and guess with the
boat lighter it floated off the post
Swatty got in and dressed and we
rowed toward the voices and the
splashing.
1t was Judge Hannah all right. He
was pitchforking buffalo fish with the
Shebbards. He had on rubber hip
good time. We rOwed in close to
where he was and watched them pitch
fork awhile and then Swatty back
watered the skiff up to where the
judge was standing and said:
''Say, mister judge!'
The judge leaned his hand on the
stern Of the boat and said:
Yes. my lad, what is IT,"
Are you the judge that gives
divorces"
I'm the one that don't give them
unless have to. son." the judge
laughed. Looking for one? You don't

into the bottom of the boat. He got
up and slapped the oar back into the
oarlock and we both rowed hard.
I'VE amt moving"
Bony said that He was hanging
onto the sides of the skiff with both
hands. looking scared and white and
you never heard anybody say any
thing the way he said that. 1t was
like he had seen ghost Me and
Swatty stopped rowing and looked.
About twenty feet away from us was
that old mush-rat house and we could
see a little ripple of water on the
upper side OF IT, but it wasn't moving
There was the same kind of ripple
against the bow of. our boat.
We rowed again and we rowed hard
and the skin didn't move! There we
were. out in the middle of that haunt
ed lake, or whatever 1t was. aud no
bottom that you could reach with an
oar. and we couldn't row up stream
and we didn't float down stream. And
over yonder was a mush-rat's house

we were in haunted lake. and

and crying. ! was scared myself. 1t
looked like we were in haunted lake
we could not row out of and that we
might have to stay there forever
We'll, garsh!" Swatty said. I'VE
rowed up here. we ought to be good
and able to row back where we come
from" SO we swung the skiff around
and rowed down current No good!
We didn't move at all. Or we just
moved a foot or two.
1t wasn't IKE when you run up on a
snag or rock. 1t wasn't stiff like
that. We fioated all right, but we
couldn't go anywhere.
"Listen!" Swatty said.
Away off far we heard voices and
splashing. sounding the way things
sound when you hear them across
water. Swatty shouted. "llello!" he

Air Fountains and Cascades

A Walton has added number of
world and has also given new sig
nificance to many words that have
long been a part of the speech Of men.
One of the curious things Is the num-
Der of words and phrases descriptive
of wind conditions which affect flying.
Students and practitioners of the fly
ing art speak of aerial fountains"
aerial cataracts," aerial cascades"
aerial breakers" and aerial tor
rents" They talk of Vertical wind
eddies. wind layers and wind pillows.
Each of these terms has a meaning of
it's own and each indicates some par
ticular condition which Is encountered
or which may be encountered by the
fiier. J. Andrew White and Henry
Woodhouse. in discussing the wind
conditions which affect aviation in the
Wireless Press, explain that aerial
fountain" Is n rising current of at
mosphere encountered over barren
land and cOnical hills in warm wealth :
err, the air column rising because it
is heated beyond the temperature of
the surrounding air. 1t is said that
these "f0untainS" are not ordinarily
dangerous. that the rate of ascent has
been known to reach twenty five feet
a second, that the airplane will rise
involuntsrily. If caught squarely by
one of these columns dropping as it
energies from the fountain" but that
the wing tips will be tilted IL the
fountain is grazed.
In describing the aerial cataract, 1T
is said that desce nding cold air causes
"A current which takes two forms, first,
the reverse of the aerial fountain
with opposite effect on airplanes and
dangerous only in thunderstorms, and
second, surface cataracts developed by
steep barren slopes Of earth. These
are considered of such consequence In
aviation that fiiers are warned never
to attempt landing in surface
cataract"
The aerial cascade Is described as
the bounding air at the bottom Of a
steep fall over an earth contour.

by one of the bakery personnel into

in the plant. They take the chunks
already mentioned and cut them, au

is twentyfour hours old.
The hander-up takes these right
weights of dough. Their passage
through it has the effect of round

language. and preparing it for the

proven it drops automatically into the
molder, which rounds up the loaf
this time, and not the dough. by roll
ing 1t between metal parts forming a.

into the oven.
There are eight of these provers
and eight mOlders in the plant. From
each. molder two men pick up the
loaves as they drop on to a table. and
place them on the trays Of a setting
rack. These trays are placed III The
setting rack and when each rack is
full it is rolled over in front Of the
draw plate ovens. of which there are
fifty-six double-deckers in the bak-
cry.
1t might be Bethlehem or Pittsburgh.
After standing a few minutes in the
vicinity of the oven. the draWplates are
pulled out, one at a time. and the
loaded trays are lifted from the setting
rack and slipped along the drawplate to
the inner end, tilted slightly. With
skillful Jerk the loaves slide on to the
drawplate and the bread at last, is
ready for it's baking.
Each drawplate holds 1876 loaves at
time.
There are two drawplates to each
oven.
The ovens are double deckers

And there are fifty-six ovens to the
bakery OF the Woerner- Pneinderer- Per-
