The state of Massachusetts, alone has
from 5000 to 10000 more women work
ing than were employed before the
war. The heaviest increase is reported
in woman textile workers. Approx
mately 1000 Oregon women are work

TRAINED PIGEONS CARRY
MESSAGES AT WAR FRONT
One of Fifteen Methods of Commu-

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, February 14.-The birds fire.
quently seen flying over the American
lines are not doves of peace, but car
rier pigeons bringing war messages A
trained corps" of those winged mes
sengers is operating in connection with
our forces in the trenches. Though the
birds in no case are the sole carriers
pendable means of communication dur
ing a hombardment.
To keep te front in touch with
headquarters is most difficult prob
lem. Telephone wires are usually cut
and soldier runners are frequently
killed or wounded There are frequent
ly as many as fifteen means of COM
munication between two points. The
birds are trained like fighting cocks on
a big pigeon farm near the front A spe-
cial Digeon-cote automobile, like dou-
ble-deck poultry car,with the custodians
below and lattice cages above. carries
the birds from place to place The pig
cons are taught always to return to the
cote. They are, exercised in twenty
minute flights to strengthen their
wings and are taught to return to the
cote when signaled to do so by a
whistle. On coming back they are re-
warded with grain.
When on active service the cotes go
to the various regimental headauar-
ters and the pigeons are carried in
pairs to the advanced company of bat
TALON headquarters. They are always
paired, for II a male returns home
and finds his mate paired with another
he starts fight and disrupts the cote.
The birds are extremely game and are
constantly fighting. When released
they fly directly toward the cote. bring
ing message in metal clasp fastened
to log. They will fly equally we'll
day or night.
Two officers are in charge of this
service. They were the organizers of
the American Pigeon Flying Associa-
ton. All the. soldiers employed in the
work are experienced poultry fanciers.
Hundreds of American birds have been
imported and, with their brightly
marked bronze and green throats, they
are in striking contrast to the plaiHer
gray French pigeons.

What Makes the Rumble Of Thunder7
Why does thunder rumble7 The path
OF a lightning flash through the air
may be several miles In length. All
along this path the sudden expansion
Of the heated air-a true explosion
sets up an atmospheric wave which
spreads In all directions and eventual
ly registers upon our ears as thunder.
Since the lightning discharge is almost
instantaneous. the sound wave is pro-
duced Mt very nearly the same time
along the whole path. But the sound
wave travels slowly through the air.
Its speed is approximately 1,O90 feet
per second. Thus the sound from the
part of the ~llghtnIng's path that Is
nearest to us reaches us first, and that
from other parts Of the path after
