The air service, like most special
branches, has its 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 a 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 a
"fiip," and If it IS distinguished fail
ure 1t is called "washout." An air
plane Is usually called "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.

IF GLUCOSE is IN JELLY
Method by Which 1t Is Detected Is
Simple and Of Exceedingly Easy
Application.

Glucose in fruit preserves may be
discovered by the following method
given by the Popular Science Monthly:
In the case Of jelly teaspoonful
should be dissolved in two tablespoon
fuls Of alcohol contained In n glass
vessel. In the case Of jam or MARINA
lade the same process is carried out,
but it is necessary to filter off the solid
matter by running the mixture through
q piece Of muslin. Allow the solution
to become perfectly cool and then add
an equal volume, or little more, Of
strong alcohol.
If glucose Is present dense white
preclpitate slowly settles down. Where
no glucose has been employed there Is
no precipitate, save, In some cases,
very trifling sediment of protein mat
ter which, however, is so small that
1t could not possibly be mistaken for
the sediment which glucose produces.
The last named Is not particularly
harmful In itself, but 1t Is very fire.

VAGUE of Initials.

That the Lew vogue Of initials is as
bewlldering as a writer in the New
York Statesman suggests Is made
abundantly clear by reports Of commit
tees dealing with the Prince of Wales
fund Those who have been initiated
into the mysteries Of Its administra-
ton and are familiar with the termln-
ology in use may know that w. G.
does not indicate the west central dis
trict, but means war committee; that
N. r. f. signifies national relief fund,
and that l.. r. G. is meant local rep
resentatlve committee. But even they
must Be bailled by the problem set by
such q procession of Initials as G. G.
P. r. D., and fail to guess that what
is suggested by them is government
committee for the prevention and re-
lief of dlstress.-London Chronicle.

Hero of Naval Disaster.

The man with the smile and the
CHEEKY word, the one who can lift the
spirits of his fellows in the hour Of
danger-here is the man of heroism.
And it Is for just this quality that
praise is given to Lieut.. John K Rich
ards, U. S. ~, who was one of the
officers on the torpedo destroyer Jacob
Jones. The reports of her sinking
brought a thrilling story Of her COM
mander, her officers and his men, Of
their bravery and loyalty to the last
moment, all equal to the best tradi-
tons of the American navy. Lieut.
Richards, the gunnery officer, was left
In charge of all the RATS. At this post
1t was noticed that through all the or
deal he was cool and cheerful, putting
heart into the men about him and max
ing them all more able to stand the
strain. Lieut.. Richards Is a native of
IrOnton, o., and was born in 1891. He
entered the naval academy in 1907,
and five years later was made ensign.
In 1915 he became junior lieutenant
and was temporarily appointed lleuten-
ant in 1917.

GRIZZLY BROOKS NO RIVAL
Testimony Of Hunters Proves That He
Is 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
zly now has most intelligent fear, eX
cept in places where he Is protected
and fed. Fierce and formidable fighter
that he is, he doesn't fight man unless
he Is driven to IL, 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 II.
The testimony of all Western hunt.
ers agrees on the great caution griz-
preaching a 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 coward.
Once, he said, he had put ont a dead
horse for their bait, and watched from
4 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-
erable room the lions resented this
third party at the feast and drew off
snarling. Then one of them came back
and evidently clawed the intruder or
hit 1t. The bear, which had one fore
paw employed, swung with the other,
caught the lion tremendous blow and
Knocked him 80 feet down the slope
Then Mr.. Silvertip resumed his repast
as If 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 a mountain hunter from boyhood,
and he is, furthermore, an uncommon
ly 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.

Here is the last word in the tailored
blouse and separate skirt for utility
wear and 1t is very credltable last
word. 1t isn't likely that anything
better will be developed for the work
a-day outfitting of the average busy
woman Of today, although we may
have equally good designs In both
blouses and skirts for the same sort
Of wear. Neatness is the keynote in
this kind Of outfitting and it is the
most potent charm Of summer dress
ing.
The blouse is a strictly "shlrtwaist"
model, made of white wash-satin
which proves to be very practical and
desirable. 1t is one of the few de-
signs with high neck and buttons
straight up the front, and collar with
small white pearl buttons. The cuffs
button over with single button and
the waist will look well developed In
wash silk, percale and other substan-
tlal weaves In cotton.
The skirt is simply two lengths of
54-inch wool material cut to fit about
the hips and without plaits. The wide,
Meade County news., 1918-05-02

shaped girdle is pointed at the end
where it buttons over a large bone
button at the left of the front. Snap
fasteners above and below the button
hold the belt in neat adjustment to
the figure. This girdle Is the most
popular that has appeared this sea-
son. The skirt Is correct in length
and width for a walking skirt, which
should be in the neighborhood of two
yards wide to insure freedom in walk
ing, and reach an inch below the shoe
tops for good style.
In cutting two-piece plain skirt
from wide material there is enough
cut away to account for the girdle
and pockets as ample and original as
those that are shown on the model pic
tured. Twice the depth Of the pocket
is needed for making it, one-half Of
this length cut into two straps that
fold upon the pocket and fasten down
with bone buttons like that on the gir-
die, but smaller. The straps and pock-
cts are lined with silk Of the color
Of the crossbar In the material. In
this skirt a deep tan ground Is crossed
with bars Of flag blue.

marked eagle quill that is posed
against 1t.
The hat at the right is also of crepe
georgette. 1t Is wide-brimmed
model one Of those "halo" brims that
are becoming fixture In the millinery
styles Of midsummer. It is beauti-
fully made with balmasQue finish
about the edge of the brim. The trim
consists Of collar, covered with mar
row plated ribbon, and small, cOnven-
tlonal flowers of braid with stems. A
hat very similar to this Is covered
with geOrgette tucked in the fashion
able narrow cross tucks and finished
with crepe flowers applied fiat to the
crown. They are hand made of the
same crepe as the hat. These wide
brimmed, transparent or semitranspar-
ent hats, will make lovely headwear
for the June bridesmaid and the June
bride.
A hat of fine black milan faced
with sand colored crepe finishes the
group. 1t is trimmed with clusters of
lacquered leaves, at each side Of the
front, in bright shade Of light blue.
Hats are not easy to make this sea-
son. They require the work of a pro-
fessional milliner.

There are not many things that af-
ford woman more real satisfaction

coming hat, and her chances of acQuir-
ing such valuable asset were never
better than they are now. The shapes
brought out this season are graceful
and varied. There are almost no freak.
ish hats, and there is wide range Of
styles and considerable variation in
size-in fact q hat for all types Of
faces. It Is a good idea to give plenty
Of time to the selection Of the right
shape and to remember that trimming
sometimes plays tricks upon the eye
altering the proportions Of the shape
apparently.
The first essential of becomingness
In hat shape lies in its proper fit.
1t is because the head size is too large
or too small that many a pretty hat
falls short of being a success on the
head of Its owner. When the head
size Is wrong all the lines are wrong
the crown too large or too small and
the brim, therefore not in the right po-
sition. When this matter of first i'm
portance is taken care of the other
details of color, and trimmings and
style are not hard to manage.
Three hats shown here are ire
proachable in style and quality of ma.
terial and workmanship. The hat at
the left Is a good semidress model Of
sand-colored crepe georgette, having
its upper brim Of satin-straw braid in
the same color. There is an odd drape
made of the braid that extends across
the front and It makes a fine back
ground for the short and beautifully

REMEMBER THE BARREL
AT THE SUPPLY co.

A barrel has been placed at the
store of the Covington Supply Co.,
into which people are invited to
place fruit pits and nut shells, the
carbon in which is used in the manu-
facture of oxygen to be used in the
gas masks of our soldiers who are
fighting our battles on the western
front.
Since more end better carbon is
secured from the pits of peaches,
prunes and plums than from any
other sources, boys and girls should
make it their special business to see
that every home in their community
saves the pits Of these fruits. They
should also visit hotels, restaurants
and bakeries In addition, seeds
should be collected from dates and
olives and shells should be saved
from hickory nuts, English and ma
tive walnuts and hazelnuts. The
material may BE- delivered first to
the barrel and then to the local Red
Cross headquarters. which is acting
as central station for collecting
and shipping.

GINs eLosEp THIs 49,

At a meeting Of the einaers of
West Tennessee, held in the Cham-
Der Of Commerce, Memphis, it was
resolved TO close the gins of this
section of the state for the week
beginning Monday, October %.
An association of cotton ginners
was organized, and in the future the
ginners will act through their asso-
citation.
Fridays meeting Of ginners was
called by the county food administra-
tors of the western end of the state.
The heavy crop and It's early matus-
ity have made the supply Of cotton
seed larger than the oil mills could
handle and the ginners were running
ahead of the oil mills
Accumulated cotton seed heats and
deteriorates in a manner which re-
duces its food and commercial value.
Therefore it became necessary FOR
the cotton gins to shut down to allow
the oil mills to work up accumulated
stocks.
