Aviator's Lingo.

The air service, like most special
branches, has it's own vocabulary. An
officer of flying status, but who for
some reason does not fly, is called a:
penguin" This name is also applied
to type of training machine which
does not rise from the ground. An
officer in the flying service without fly
ing status is called ''kiwi'' after an
Australian bird. A pilot is generally
called a "quirk." A flight is called
Zip" and If it Is a distinguished fall
ure it Is called a "washout." An air
plane is usually called a bus" The
great hope Of the airman Is to spike
bozzle,'' or bring down 'Zepp," or. one
of the smaller nonrigid dirigibles
they call ''blimps." The airman's pest
is the "onion," or large flaming anti
aircraft shell which "Archie'' sends up
as sort of bouquet-with sometimes
an unpleasant smell. "Archie" is the
general name for the antiaircraft gun.

Praised for Devotion to Duty.

Praised for Devotion to Duty.
When the city Of Norfolk, Va, was
threatened with the complete .destruc-
ton by IRE Of it's thriving business
section early in January, every avail
able fre-flghtlng force at hand and
from nearby towns was called into the
battle. At the height Of the fire the
enlisted men of the United States
navy on duty at the navy yard and in
the =harbor were called on to help not
only in subduing the flames but con-
trolling the crowds. To a man they
gave a splendid account of themselves.
Among these men was John Joseph
Mclaughlin, a chief boatswain's mate
Although he had worked all night, had
narrow escapes and was drenched to
the skin with ice-cold water, McLough-
lin declined relief when it was Of
fered and remained on duty continu-
ously until the danger was passed.
For this conspicuous service he has
been commended by Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels. Mclaughlin enlisted
In the navy in 1908 at New York.

GRIZZLY BROOKS NO RIVAL
Testimony Of Hunters Proves That He
70 Beyond Question Supreme IN
His Own World.

The grizzly was once the monarch
OF the Western ranges, says Walter
Prichard Eaton, In Harper's Magazine.
Nothing disputed his title till man
came with the rifle. OF man the griz-
NY now has a most intelligent fear, e1-
cept In places where he Is protected
and fed. Fierce and formidable fighter
that he is, he doesn't fight man unless
Ae ts driven to it, but with the keen.
ness Of his tribe (the bear is one Of the
most intelligent of beasts) he avoids
danger so far as possible, and has de.
veloped much cleverness at it.
The testimony of all Western hunt.
srs agrees on the great caution q griE
NY uses before crossing an open or APP
preaching dead horse or COW put out
for bait, frequently charging all the
bushes around to drive out possible
foes In ambush as a preliminary to
feeding. That the mountain lion Is .
real foe Of the bears our hunter de.
MED. The mountain cat is a coward.
Once, he said, he had put out dead
horse for their bait. and watched from
tree two lions feeding on the carcass
A grizzly (called a silvertip by the
hunters) approached; shouldered In be-
tween the lions and began to feed also.
As one fat grizzly can take up consid-
cradle room the lions resented this
third party at the feast and drew of
snarling. Then one Of them came back
and evidently clawed the intruder or
hit It. The bear, which had one fore
paw employed, swung with the other,
caught the lion tremendous blow and
knocked him so feet down the slope
Then Mr.. Silvertip resumed his repast
as II nothing had happened. He did
not even look around to see how far
the lion fell or what he was going to
do when he got up. Evidently the bear
felt quite sure Of his position. He was
justified In this confidence, for the lion
rose and with his mate sulked, snarl-
ing, Off into the timber. = ~.
The man who told this story had
been mountain hunter from boyhood
and he is, furthermore, an uncommon
~ sharp observer whose knowledge has
been more than once employed by the
federal government. There IS no rea.
son to doubt the accuracy of his tale,
which seems to bear out the statements
of other hunters that the grizzly is SUI
preme in his own world, even con.
temptuously so. :

bonfire-not as big as the one they had
in the Eternal city, but big one at

around Monday night.
Officers and men, with their invited
guests, gathered around the blaze to
sing and make merry. The various
bands of the camp played. Kenneth s.
Clark, camp musical director, led the
singing, which included such selections
as God Help Kaiser Bill" IA Hot Time
in the Old Town" and Keep the Home
Fires Burning" There were patriotic
selections, too.

Here's a boy who was in Meade and
is now enjoying the thrills of having
French mattresses serve his meals on

Kunze. Company A, 9th Engineers, and
this is what he wrote:
Hello. Bill! Well, here I am in fair
France. somewhere near the fighting
front-but not too close to see or hear
anything, except that the next move
will give US the real theater of war.

I'VE are allowed light wines from 10

all of Europe, they have girls waiting

their vino ordinaire. and st. Louis beer
better than their brew.
Our trip across the Atlantic was I'M

Another matter of interest is the loss
of our social secretary, ]. e. Meh-

oldest men in point Of service in the
