FELL INTo THE SEA.
Did Fighting Near The Clouds But
The Huns Got Him-The First
To Down A German seapIane.

Ensign Stephen Potter, U. s. Ma
val Reserve Force, killed in action
with German planes April 25th
last, was the first American naval
aviator to shoot down and destroy
a German seaplane, according to a
Navy Department statement.
The report states that on March
19, 1918, a long-distance reconnoi-
sance of the German coast was
made by large American flying
boats from a British Royal Air
Force station. Ensign Potter was
one of two American naval aviators
accompanying this expedition, and
Potter was successful in shooting
down a German seaplane which at
tackled the reconnaissance formation.
A second enemy seaplane found
III away.
Potter's death reflects credit on
his courage. He was killed in fight
with seven enemy single-seaters
He was second pilot to a British
Air Force captain, who was with
him when he shot down the German
plane in March. Two British planes
had flown to point six miles from
Hinder Light, when two enemy
planes headed toward them. The
British planes closed on the near
est German and opened fire. Two
more hostile planes then appeared
overhead and attacked vigorously,
while three other enemy planes
passed astern. The two British
planes dived and speeded westward
under continuous volleys from the
rear. One of the Germans disap-
peared.
OF the seven Germans in action,
four were attacking Potter, who
fell behind his companion and be-
gan to zizzag. Potter doged, but
was broadside to all the enemy ma
chimes and under their fire, only so
feet from the water. His compan-
ion, only $50 feet above, saw Pot
ter's machine burst into flame,
come down part of the way under
control, then crash on the port
wing tip. Potter was seen last on
the surface of the water amid
flames, which turned suddenly to a
huge cloud of smoke. When the
pail had cleared not even wreckage
was visible and the circling enemy
disappeared

into prominence as a star 44O yard
sprinter. In a trial test over the
quarter-mile distance the teams
leader outstepped Lockard, Gilfllan,
Barry. and Hayes, the short distance
champion. Coach Rockne had his
stopwatch on the men, and although
he did not announce any official time
he Immediately elected Mulligan to
run the quarter-mile hereafter.
This is the first flash of form the
Brooklyn flyer has shown this year
He arrived back from his Christmas
vacation some few days after the
team started training, and conse-
quently has been slower than other
members in getting into shape. Yes
terday he demonstrated that he has
lost none of his speed that made
him a terror on the track a year
ago.
No other members of the team

and about all that Mack has left is a
franchise
Five years ago Mack would not
have sold his famous ball club. as a
whole, for half a million iron men.
The infeld combination alone was
valued at 100000. But under the
plan Mack used of disposing Of his
stars the philadelphia club received
a total of around $4,000 in all.
Collins is said TO have brought
$4,000; Baker. $4,000; Barry, 81
500. and Schang. Strunk. Bush and
McInnis a total of 100000 in cash
and Boston players in addition.
Several years ago Mack gave out
a statement TO the effect that he was
dispOsing Of players because OF diff
ferences between the men and the
management. He said ne would no:
have a player on his club who would
not give the club his best services,
or who was dissatisfied. Yet the
famous Athletics seem to have given
Mack their best, else they could
never have captured so many worlds
remnants.
The breaking up of the Mackmen,
in the manner it all came about. is
the only case of the kind in big
league history.

How to ksep Your Erlend,.

It is almost impossible to be genuine
ly friendly with person who insists
on being too close to you, on knowing
all your thoughts, feelings and affairs,
and on claiming your time and atten
ton on the excuse Of affection alone.
The bonds Of true friendship must
be easy and its demands must be fol
something real and vital. The woman
who calls on you perpetually because
she has taken a sudden fancy to you is
a blind and selfish egOtist, in a mild
way. Her calls may interrupt your
work and bore you intensely, but if you
are polite and courteous person you
bear with her until she directs her at.
tention elsewhere. She will probably
tell the new friend that you are every
unrespOnsive." Some women clutch at
every new acquaintance and then COM
plain that they have so few friends
The reason is that friendship is not
built on trivialties and whims, but by
giving such valuable things as true con.

The first steamboats, on the Crest
Lakes were launched 1O1 years ago on
Lake Ontario. Two craft operated by
steam were constructed in 1916 on the
shores of the latter lake, one being
the Ontario, built at Sacketts Harbor,
n. T., and the other the Frontenac,
which was launched at Ernestown,
Canada, on September Z, 1916. The
Frontenac was one Of the finest steam
boats afloat at that time. 1t cost $75,-
600, and was Of 70O-tons burden, its
length of deck being ITO feet. The
Fronterac was placed In operation 100
years ago, making three round trips
each month from Kingston to York and
Niagara. Capt. James Mckenzie, who
had had experience in the British navy,
was placed in command. The From

The TempermentaI Artist.

The Art World Magazine is willing
to admit that the public taste and
preferences in art Is not to be despised,
and 1t thinks artists should consider
those preferences. 1t says:
"An artist only honors himself when
he never loses for one moment the
thought of pleasing that great world
public. He should seek forever to
captivate 1t, not merely by pleasing It,,
but by pleasing it SO much that it will
be delighted to take off his hat to him,
thank the giver of all good things for
having created him, and honor itself
by mailing his name high up In the
temple of fame. Thus he will win a
niche in the heart of mankind, which
means the immortal love of the race,
The truly wise and great
artist digs down deep into the heart
and soul of man, there to sense il he
can what the race is feeling, thinking
and longing to have expressed for
itself-in the hope of being enraptured
by the nobility of the forms in which
the artist expresses the things which
he finds there"

FISH IS 4 SPLENDID FOOD
Rich In Protein, Mineral Salt and
Phosphorus-stale Fish Cause
Ptomaine Poisoning.

Under the heading of sea food come
fish, shellfish, crabs, Holsters, clans
and oysters.
Fish may be divided into two classes
fresh and salt water. Some we'll
known varieties of fresh-water fish are
white fish, black and rock bass, perch,
lake. mountain and brook trout. Cod,
paddock, halibut, founder, smelts, sal
mon, bluefish, mackerel and shad are
of the sea.
Fish is rich In protein, mineral salt
and phosphorus. 1t spoils very quick
ly and so must be used while in per-
feet condition. 1t is easy to digest,
especially when boiled. Fish must be
firm, particularly along the backbone.
The gills should be red and bright, the
eyes full and clear. Discard the fish
with sunken eyes. Stale or decayed
fish causes ptomaine poison.
Crabs and Holsters are coarse feed
ers, with flesh that is coarse in tex
ture and hard to digest. They spoil
rapidly after death; crabs must be
alive when cooked, and live lobster
Is as necessary. Do not use them If
they are dead. Ptomaine poisoning ia
