Understanding the

The reports Of London policewomen
are one long catalogue of cases in
which kindly warnings have been suf-
fcient. But one of the greatest trib-

persons suspected of keeping disorder

Urgently Needed,
Gas-Mask Work

The people of Tarpon Springs are
asked to save the pits of PRUNES,
PEACHES, PLUMS, DATES, CHER
RIES, and OLIVES.
They are asked also TO save the
shells of WALNUTS, BUTTER
NUTS, HICKORY NUTS, PECAN
NUTS BRAZIL NUTS HAZEL
NUTS.
Only the pits of the fruits named,
and only the shells of the nuts, are
wanted. The nut shells may be crack
ed into pieces of any size.
More and better carbon is obtained
from the pits of PEACHES, PRUNES
AND PLUMS THAN FROM ANY
OTHER SOURCES.
The imported cherry pits are not
desired.
This is a work inwhich boys and
girls of school ages can organize and
do effective work for their country,
save the life of many of our fighting
soldiers in Europe.

nuts hulls and other carbon producing
substances to be used in providing

Two Teuto7 Flying
Squadrons.

English Pilots JoyfuIIy and ImpartiaIIy
Render Assistance First to
One Side, Then to
the Other.

With the British Army in France
This is the story of a battle royal
"aged in the air between two flights
of German planes. 1t was an uninten-
tional but disastrous fight between
brother aviatOrs, during which British
pilots Joyfully and impartially rem.
dered assistance first to the one side,
then to the other, until so many of
the emperor's flyers han been lie
stroyed or damaged that the conflict
could not continue.
This extraordinary engagement be-
gal thus:
Two British officers in a fighting
machine were leading a patrol along
the lines when they sighted a German
Halberstadt two-seater, which upon
their appearance fired a green signal
light. The British leaders expected a
trap and waited to see what this I'M
usual performance meant.
Too Many Come to Rescue.
In a short time six German scouts
came wheeling out of the blue and
joined the Halberstadt. Almost at
once six other enemy scouts dived
out of the sun onto their comrades,
whom they apparently mistook for a
British patrol about to attack the Hal
berstadt.
What had happened was this: The
Halberstadt had been acting as de-
coy, and the green light had been
meant as a signal for assistance. But
there had been no expectation that
two flights of German planes would
respond at the same time.
Not being able to distinguish the
markings of their friends-and this
has happened not infrequently before

ish leaders then guided their patrol

niture and to get work for them.
Reducing housekeeping to its very
lowest terms, the American Red Cross
delegates decided that each family
must have beds enough for everybody,
a table, a chair apiece, stove, some
thing to hold water and something to
cook in (there is a wonderful French
utensil called "fait-tout," in which
you can pretty nearly make every

and one knife for the family. These

cording to income every two weeks
dntil twO-thirdS of the cost price is
reached when the furniture becomes
their own.
The delegates may be able to cure
the physical needs of the refugees, but
they have to contend always with the
terrible inconsistencies of an uprooted
people. More than anything else ip
the world, these homeless people want
to return to their own firesides; and
for the time being, that is tragically
impossible They must be made as
contented as possible in their new
communities. Furniture offers one
means, gardens another, rabbits
third. Many of the people have been
farmers on a small scale so that a
few feet of ground on which to raise
soup vegetables or potatoes makes
them inordinately happy. The village
furnishes the garden and the Red
Cross supplies tools and often seeds.
Importance of the Rabbit.
But rabbits are the browning glory.
They represent almost the only form
Of meat these people ever have; they
can be kept in very small quarters, fed
IN grass gathered by the children; and
they multiply With pleasing rapldity.

Wecially appreciated, the delegate
gives money enough to buy it to the
mayor of the village and asks him to
do the purchasing.
So it goes. Sometimes the gifts of

stockings sometimes hundreds of kilos
or potatoes sent to mayor to distrib-
ute for the spring planting, dozens of
blankets to cover the people when they
first arrive and are housed of neces-
sity in schoolhouses or town halls
hastily converted into temporary bar
racks.

British fighter in the meantime had
accounted for two more enemy scouts,
which were sent swirling to destruc-

All this time the German aircraft
were continuing their bitter battle
among themselves and several of them
were seen to go down out of con-

ended. The British leaders, by their
good judgment, had led the Huns into
their own trap.
Fifty Planes in Fight.
This undoubtedly was unique oc-
currence, but there are always plenty
of thrilling incidents happening in
the air these days. Take, for instance,
the case of British patrol of about
eight battle planes (which fought and
vanquished some forty enemy craft
a few days ago. This British patrol,
under command Of a captain, was
escorting a bombing squadron when
two score enemy machines were en-
countered. The British fighters and
the enemy Immediately raced in for
the attack.
Within a few seconds fierce fight
was in progress and the great fleet of
nearly half hundred airships were
swirling and diving madly against one
another, while their machine guns

The British outmaneuvered and out
fought the enemy and many of the
Germans were sent spinning away.
Whether they were merely frightened
or were out of control, it was impos-
sible to say, but at the conclusion Of
the fight four German machines lay in
crgmpled masses on the earth and an.

Arrangements will be made to have
receptacles placed in one or two CEN

and shells collected may be deposited
there, and the local committee will
forward them to the proper military
officials.
We ask the help of every patriotic
person in Tarpon Springs in saving
and collecting these heretofore dis
carded parts of fruits and nuts, which
are so needed in the manufacturing
of gas-masks for our soldiers in their
warfare against the barbarous Teu-

Receptacles for the collection of

of these nuts have been blown off by
