BRITISH GIRLS STUDY RADIO
To Be Used on Land Stations When
Efficient, Later in coastWise
Shipping.

London.-English girls are taking
I'D wireless telegraphy. The Marconi
company has started special school
for training women in wireless tele-
graphy at it's North Wales station. At
present the company is taking only
women Of experience in Morse teleg-
raphy, but this is only temporary re.
striction.
The course deals with slip reading,
punching, record reading and the gen.,
eral duties Of wireless station. The
girls will be drafted to land stations
when efficient and will go on night duty
in rotation.
1t is not proposed to extend the use
Of women to ships for the present, but
IL this is to be altered it probably Will
apply only to coastwlse shipping.

ASKS COMMUNITY
CHORUS IN MOSCOW
PROFESSOR CAREY MAKES GOOD
SUGGESTION AND OFFERS
MUSICIANS HELP

That music is prominent factor in
war time is perhaps what prompted
Kipling to write that "the spirit of a
regiment is in its music" General
(Black jack Pershing, our "Ameri-
can PRIDE" has asked that the efficien-
cy of our American bands be increased
so per cent
| have felt for some time that the
people of Moscow are just as music
loving as any people l have come in
contact with, but who at times have
been slow in lending their moral and
financial support to musical organiza-
tons. Moscow should have .s'com-
munity chorus" We have in Profess
sor Storer one of the most able chorus
directors to be had anywhere, and it
seems with the advantages we have
here Moscow could boast on one of
the best community choruses in the
country
Almost everyone knows the theme
of the ."Star Spangled Banner but
very few know the words.
Other communities are taking up
the community chorus idea and would
it not be fine thing for Moscow
when its soldiers come home to meet
them with our community chorus?
Speaking for the Moscow band and the
high school orchestra, l will say we
shall be at the services of such an
organization. E. J. CAREY

Begin at once to save lawn clippings

October the abundance of green stuff
will tempt to wasteful feeding. Con-
serve. Dry all that you can and feed
the things you could not dry. Many
kinds of weeds are greatly relished

The man who feeds them when they

RODE THREE TIMES
THROUGH BARRAGE
Indian Raiput at Cambria Es-
Capes Without Scratch in
Daring Mission.
IS GIVEN VICTORIA CROSS
Delivers Messages Which Perhaps
Saved Battalion of British From
Extermination-Thr Horses
Shot Under Him.

London.-Lieut. Gobind Singh has
the Victoria Cross and he earned it,
He is a Raiput from India and he is a
brave man. Three times he dashed
into what seemed almost certain death
and he escaped without a scratch, al
though the horses were shot from I'M
der him. And furthermore he dcliv-
cred messages which perhaps saved
battalion from determination. There
is no prouder Indian in Great Britain
or France than Lieutenant Singh. 1t
is nothing unusual to see a soldier sa-
lutte when he passes-just out of adj
miration.
Braves Barrage Fire.
1t was at Cambria that he went
through the bullet-swept areas to de-
liver his precious messages. The Off
Ger in command of his battalion felt it
imperative to send word to the gener-
al staff, and volunteers were asked for.
There wasFno other way to commune
cate. Lieutenant Singh offered his
services. He mounted horse and
Jared forth into No Mans Land. Five
others had volunteered and been killed
in the rain of machine gun bullets from
the German lines, but a few hundred
yards away. Singh galIoped at full
speed into the region of death. He is
a skillful rider and his charger was ex-
perienced. A short distance away his
horse fell under him. The Indian fin
ished his trip of 600 yards afoot.
The message required reply and he
volunteered TO deliver it. He sailed
forth on another horse and with his
body glued to that animal he plunged
ahead with the machine gun fire again
pIaying on him. A second time his
horse was killed. He finished this
Journey also on foot running as swift
~ as his trained legs could carry him.
His colleagues cheered him as he drop
ped into the friendly trench and all
agreed that he led charmed life.
Makes Third Trip.
But his task was not finished. His
officer found that if one more message
could be sent to the staff the battalion
might be rescued. Singh said he would
go third time. The officers offered
him his choice of horses and he select
ed a splendid animal, which he ca
ressed before undertaking the last and
most dangerous dash of all. The dis
lance he had to go was mile and a
half. He covered almost half the dis
lance and heard not shot. But in
stantly a barrage started from the Ger
man guns. A British sentinel in shell
hole warned him to pause, saying no
human being could get through the
curtain of shell fire alive. But Singh
ignored the warning. He spurred his
horse to new speed. A shell struck
the animal and almost tore it to pieces.
Singh dropped to the ground and half
crawling and half dragging himself he
finished his perilous journey without
receiving a bullet wound. To the as
tonishment of the officers who had |
watched with breathlesS excitement |
his plunge through the shadow OF |
death the Indian asked if he were to /
make a return trip. He was told it
was not necessary. A short time later,
due to the order he had delivered, his
battalion was rescued from most dan
gerous position.

Uncle Sam Turns TiqhtWad.

The money which you are lending
Uncle Sam by purchasing Liberty
Bonds, and with which he in turn pur-
chases foodstuffs for the boys in khaki,
goes much farther than one at first
realizes. Formerly all scrapings from
plates and all refuse from camp kitch-
ems was burned. The old order has
changed. Garbage waste is now sepa-
rated into various classes such as
bread, raw fats and meats, cooked
meat, cooked grease, bones and other
garbage.
These materials are weighed after
each meal and statement of the
weights forwarded to the conservation
and reclamation officer in each camp.
In this way, the army has an absolute
check ON wastes of unit kitchens
which enables it to prevent over-ration-
ing and individual wastage. The gar
bage from these separations is turned
over to reduction plants, which in
turn utilize these wastes for the man
ufacture of nitro-glycerin and for fer
tiliZers.
