ties have enforced drastic reKu-
lations to prevent crowds from,
congregating. They point out
that the greatest danger Of in
lection from Spanish Influenza
Is In crowds, and in the meeting
OF many people, some OF whom
may carry the germs OF the
scourge.
Most girls who work are in
positions where II IL necessary
to come in contact with the pub
lie. They must meet all manner
OF people during working hours,
and undoubtedly there Is risk In
this.
The telephone operator on the
other hand Is never In direct con-
tact with the public She does
not work among crowds. She
has every safeguard for her
health provided Clean. sanitary
surroundings properly heated
and ventilated. II is not even
necessary that she go out at
lunch time: In case the weather
Is Indictment. she can patronizs
the lunch room maintained by
the c. & P. Telephone Co., for
her convenience. Here hot,
wholesome, appetizing meals are
served at much below cost. as the
company operates these lunch
rooms for the benefit OF the girls
rather than for profit
She Is allowed regular rest
periods which are spent in rooms
that are fitted out for relaxation
and recreation. Here she will
find comfortable chairs. reading
matter that will interest her and
other creature comforts.
She Is never hurried in her
work. 10 never under strain,
never subjected to excitement or

And, any normal girl can learn

AIR RAID ON GERMANY
British Bombing Planes Attack
City in Rhenish Prussia.
Twenty-four Bombs Are Dropped on
Railway Station and Factories
at S~aarbrueck.

London, May 1S.-Saarbruecken,
(~Saarbrueck) Rhenich Prussia, has
been bombed by a squadron of Brit
ish bombing planes. Saarbrueck Is
over 200 miles from the British air
bases in Belgium and more than thir-
ty miles inside the Franco-German
border.
Every mile of the way the British
raiders fought a running battle with
German battle planes trying desper-
ately to bag" or rout them. AS the
battle line was crossed 10 German
machines took up the pursuit. By
the time Saarbruecken was reached
there were 25.
The British planes not only got
unframed 10 their destination, but
having got there calmly carried out
their scheduled work of destruction,
dropping "a big bombs on the rail-
way station and factories.
Their task done, they turned upon
the German machines and sen five
of them crashing carthward. They
returned to their base, minus only
n machine, which was shot down

effective and most spectacular raid
ing expedition carried out by the
British fiers in this war. In all, 43
German planes were shot down DUR
ing the day.

The addition OF 10 per cent of po

The effect Of the destruction of the
British submarines upon the crews of
merchant vessels was excellent, how

the destruction of many ships which
would otherwise have fallen into the
hands OF the enemy.
"The guns at and near Hango," the

already been dismantled and upon the
appearance or the German forces the

FAIRY TALE |
NIGHT RACES.
s. NAlY GUAAal1BQ yVeR

"Come along, come along" said the
Night Fairies, and they few along over
the black night clouds.
"Will you run races?" asked the
Night Fairies as they ran along the
Milky Way and called upon the Shoot
ing Stars.
ooh, rather" said the Shooting
Stars. WED love to run races"
Tonight" asked the Night Fairies,
and the Shooting Stars said:
Yes, tonight! Yes, tonight.
When all is bright, so bright!
Well run races! Hurrah!
So let's hurry away!
And off they all hurried. The Shoot
ing Stars raced with the Night Fairies
and The Moon looked on and laughed
Many of the other stars said:
"What a good time the Shooting
Star children do have. They're so
jolIy and are so fond of racing with
the fairies. And the earth people, we
have heard, love to see the Shooting
Stars"
As they were playing and racing
and laughing a little fairy named Sill
very Night came along.
where have you been, Silvery
Night?" they all asked.
"We wanted to run races with you,
too" said the Shooting Stars. Were
having night races. Where have you
Deen?"
Listen" said SiIvery Night. And
they all stopped racing to listen.
81 was flying over a house tonight
and l heard the voice of a little child
inside. There was a window open
near by and l hoped on the window
sill where she couldn't see me. She
was talking to her mother.
"'When does the doctor say I'll be
able to sit up?' she asked.
Every soon, my love- her mother
said. You must be a little stronger

"Now 1 found out" continued Sill
very Night, that this little girl always
sat by her window before she went to
bed and looked at the stars. and so
many nights she saw the Shooting
Stars. She loved them so, and always
wanted to see them if there were any
to see. But now she had to lie in bed
and the bed vas quite a distance from
the window as she had to be kept u

had a talk with the Dream King"
'Yes, and what did he say?" they
all asked.
"He said he would help"
"Hurrah," they shouted.
So the Night Fairies and the ShooR-
ing Stars led by Silvery Night and the
Dream King ran their races all through
the dreams of the little girl and up
and down the ceiling. They danced
ove the bed, and sometimes she al
most caught them as they raced by
her! But she never quite caught onet
"Oh, my dear beautiful Shooting
Stars" she said, "and the beautiful
fairies"
And the fairies whispered to her:
You'll o o be well, little girl. Be
patient, very patient, and soon you'll
be strong again. The Night Fairies
are watching over you and the Shoot
ing Stars have not forgotten their lit
tie friend who loves to see their
sports"
Morning at last came and the Shoot
ing Stars, the Night Fairies, Silvery
Night and the Dream King had gone
and the little girl was wide awake.
"Oh. mother" she said, 81 feel so
much better. The Night Fairies and
Shooting Stars had night races for me
in my dream, and they told rue to be
patient a little longer. / have been
getting SO impatient lately"
The doctor came to see the little
girl that day and he said that she was
wonderfully improved and that within
two days she could be up once morel
he really didn't at all understand
the wonderful improvement but some
little creatures did--and they were the
