SIGNALLING OFFICER
HAS EXCITING JOB

Behind the British Lines in France.
The battalion signalling officers
chief duty is to maintain communica-
tions. A battalion headquarters has
to be in communication with the four
companies in front of it, the battalions
on the right and left, the brigade
headquarters behind it, and the sup
porting artillery. The signalling of
ficer sees that these communications
are kept up.
No line Of wire will ever be abso-
lutely safe. A single trench mortar
may make mess of any wire or ca
BILE. If this happens many times, the
wise signalling officer will consider
whether some quieter route cannot be
found. The German is man of hab-
it, he has way of hammering per-
sistently at certain point at a certain
time. It is neelessly asking for trou-
bic to lay wires at a point which some
German has '.habit" of bombarding.

CHILD WELFARE EXAMINATION

Owing to the heavy rains this morn
ing no children were taken to school
house for the child welfare examina-
lion which is in charge of the Tarpon
Springs unit, womans committee of
national defence. However the inten-
ton was to hold the examination this
afternoon if the weather permitted.
The opportunity for all white child
rem fom one to five years of age to
be examined to be given again Thurs
day between $50 and 1900 o'clock in
the morning and from 100 to 500
O'clock in the afternoon.
On Saturday during the same hours
the colord children whose parents are
interested can be examined.
This is very important work and
it is hoped the parents of the children
of these ages will avail themselves
of the opportunity to learn exactly
their childrens physical condition.
