MEN WITH "cHARMED LIVES
impossible to Explain, but Some Fight
ere Certainly Have Had Marvellous
Escapes From Death.

There isn't any doubt about some
Of the soldiers leading charmed lives
or what passes in the common Ian
guage Of the day for charmed lives.
There is no other way for accounting
for some Of the strange things that
happen in battle. Take the case of
Lieut.. Benjamin P. Harwood Of
Montana, as related in reliable dis
patches the other day, as an illustra-
tion.
It is stated that Lieutenant Har-
wood was up in an airplane with q
pilot taking photographs. Their ma
chine was attacked by an enemy pur-
suit plane, at higher altitude. They
made an effort to get away, but the
faster Boche plane followed them
and poured a stream of lead into
them from it's machine guns. Har-.
wood was in the rear of the Ameri-
can plane, and was the target for the
fire Of the Germans, but he escaped
death, and the plane was finally
landed safely in the lines Of the al
lies.
] When the lieutenant got out of his
machine it was found that bullet
had grazed the lower part Of his
face; another had burned a streak
across his forehead; still another
had scratched his throat. He had
seven machine gun bullets through
his clothing and 80 bullets had
passed through his machine, one Of
them puncturing the gasoline tank.
How are you going to account for
such escapes except upon the ground
that some men lead charmed lives?
But don't ask what ga charmed life"
is, for nobody can tell you.

POSTWAR SPORTS.

1t is considered by many authori-
ties that Americas mobilization of a
large army will have the effect Of
raising the standard of postwar
athletics to an important degree. A
material boom in the popularity of
sports of all kinds is expected as a
natural outgrowth of the intensive
physical training that is being made
part of every soldiers daily life.
Amateur sports, it is felt, will bene-
1T chiefly, but the effect in profess
sional realms also is expected to be
material. The contention seems to
be thoroughly justified so long as it
is confined to generalities. The eff
feet to be expected in connection
with college sports, however, is adj
mittedly open to debate.-Popular

AIRMEN IN POTATO RACES.


Potato races in the air were used
by instructors at flying fields in
teaching cadets accuracy and quick
ness in flights.
Each team consisted of pilot and
mechanic They flew from the main
landing field to each Of the out
lying fields in turn, making land
ing at each field to pick up a potato,
returning to the main landing field
to deposit it. At each of the outly-
ing fields was a whitewashed mark
on the ground before which each Of
the ships landed. Rules Of the con-
test also required the mechanic to
climb out Of the ship at each mark,
pick up his potato and climb back
into the ship. In a recent potato
race in Texas the distance travelled
was "a miles.

AIRPLANE CAME TO RESCUE
Lieutenant From Captivity in
Hands Of Austrian Enemy.

Rescued from an Austrian deten-
ton camp, with three other COM
panions, by an italian airplane was
the thrilling experience Of a young
Italian soldier, Pereno Trouchet
Leonard, nephew of Vincent Leon
ard, Knoxville (Tenn) merchant
Leonard, who is a lieutenant in
the One Hundred and Sixty-ffth in
fantry Alpine regiment of the Ital-
ian army, was captured in October
by the Austrians, during the battle
of the Udine. At that time the Ital-
ians were valiantly rushing the Aus
TRANS back across the Alps. Dur
ing an encounter with some Aus
trains young Leonard was taken
prisoner and removed to a detention
camp in Austria.
He remained there until about
two months ago, when, he states in a
letter, a large Italian airplane
swooped down upon the camp one
night. Leonard and three Of his
comrades were standing nearby and,
grabbing the opportunity offered,
quickly jumped into the airplane
and were taken up in the air and
brought back to Italy.

WARS COST IN HUMAN LIFE.
Computation, in Money Value Alone,
OF What the War for Liberty
Has Meant.

The greatest and most irreparable
loss entalled in the war is, of course,
the loss Of human life. 1t is the
greatest because life is a priceless
thing and no value can be set upon
it. Still, in economies, as in all
other sciences, in treating Of man
emotional considerations are set
aside and a purely economic value,
in terms of money, has been placed
upon his potential productive power.
Thus NJ. Barriol, the celebrated
actuary, gives the following figures
Guaranty News, New York, Au-
gust, 1879 as the capital value Of
man: In the United States, Sd, 100;
in Great Britain, $4,14o; in Ger
many, $3,3s0; in France, $4,000; in
Russia, $1,000; in Austria-Hun-
gary, $1,000, or an average capital
value for the five foreign nations of
$2,892.
The number Of men lost is $780,
600 killed and 7,175,ooo permanent
ly wounded, or total of Is, 1884, 900.
Thus society has been impoverished
through death and permanent dis
ability of part of its productive
man power to the extent Of $45, O0O,-

play politics with a subject
that should be above politics.
With the nation at war and the
future of the republic and of
civilization in the balance they
are willing to jeopardize the
nations position for the sake
of possible political gain. That
may sound strong but it is the
plain English for what is com
ing, if the plan of battle is not
changed. We may expect

defects will be magnified and

THE SALARY PROFIT

people of this nation
the need for some exact know
ledge as to the disposal of wage
incomes, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. The old, care
less way of earning salary and
spending it literally as long as
it lasted has been displaced by
the need of economy. The
family budget is an important
feature of family life in these
war days, and the average
American is discovering that
he may maintain his family ad-
equately, even though he cuts
off many:o of the old eXpendi-
lures. Assisting in maintain
ing the balance between in
come and outgo, employers
generally are stretching liber-
ality to the utmost.
A great Eastern employer of
men and women employed eX-
perts to discover the percent
age of increase in the cost of
living since 1915; the inveSti- I
gators studied food, clothing
and rental costs. The average
increase of the cost of food and /
clothing is reported as 80 per
cent in the two years. What
one paid 500 for in 1915 now |;
costs $3.50. For rent, inclGd-
ing fuel, the experts computed
the increase at 10 per cent.
The cost of luXuries was not
considered.
In the distribution of eX-
pense the committee found
that the average Garner of
81, 500 annuallyexpended 43.5
per cent of it for food, 17.6 per
cent for clothing and "a per
cent for rent. The manage
ment Of this particular indus
try estimated that the salaries
of 1915 had been fixed with
consideration for the then cost
of living, and decided to leave
the compensation at its old
level, allowing annual bonuses
to each individual in such pro-
portion as the business of the
firm justified.
The East has had more of 1
these problems to solve than ;
the West. The cost of living ,
has made no such advance in
the West as is indicated in the
Eastern figures, possibly be-
cause it is nearer the source of
production; and in addition
wages have been at a higher
level in the West. Nevertheless
the need for greater compen-
sation has been felt here, and
in a great measure has been
met by the willingness of en-
ployers to do the fair thing.

EMPTY AUTO SEATS
MADE A DISGRACE
WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE
LOOKS AFTER RIDES FOR
SOLDIERS

SAN FRANCISCO.-"Let the spare
seats in every automobile do their du-
ty."
This is the slogan Of the war camp
community service committee in this
city in it's campaign to keep the sol
diers entertained. Every automobile
pilot who happens to see a soldier go
ing his way, and who has a spare seat
or two, is urged to give the uniformed
pedestrian a Gift"
An automobile recreation corps has
been organized and already has more
than 400 members. Each member
carries an attractive card on his wind
shield whereby every sailor and sol
der may know that the spare seats in
the machine belong to him.
In addition to informal lifts" the
members of the corps have set aside
regular days for automobile spins.
Rides for convalescents are held on
week days between the hours of 2 and
4:30 p. m. Others are entertained in
this fashion on Sunday afternoon and
evenings beginning at Ills p. m. These
regular rides start from designated
points; but there are no set courses.
Each may follow his own bent in this
regard.
The automobile recreation feature
is linked with many innovations in the
work of this secvice. Clubs gathering,
dancing parties, week ends, dinner
parties and many other forms of limo
cent amusement are being provided for
the soldiers, in order that camp life
will not drag" and the thing known
as g morale shall be kept at high stan
dard.
