like this: First wave, zero, advance

same as the first, pass first trench
O:23; take second trench, O:35. The

I was in the sixth line of the third

for zero and we were to walk to the

out our barrage fire would be burst

The demand for specialists in the
army is increasing daily. Mechanics
and technicians of all kinds. including
radio and buZzer operators, are need
ed by the signal corps.
In nearly every large city the fed
eral board of vocational training.
through local school authorities, has
established schools of radio communi.
cation where men of draft age who
have not been called may receive a
preliminary course in the operation OF
radio and buzzer instruments. There
are about 600 Of these schools where
instruction is given, usually in the aft
ernoons and evenings. 1t takes about
200 hours for student of average
ability to obtain a speed of 20 words a
minute, sending and receiving.
Electrical engineers and men with
good fundamental training in engineer
ing or physics are particularly in de-
mand for signal corps work. Men OF
satisfactory qualifications are given
three months training in special
schools, and have every opportunity to
take examinations leading to promo
ton.
Men who have had experience as
electrical repair men, wiremen and me
| chanics are also desired for assign
| ment to special schools and later to

Two Senators for Each state.


Congress consists of two. senators
from each state, the smallest state as
well as the largest, and a number of
representatives, according TO popula-
tion. The basis of representation. or
number of inhabitants for represen-
tative. is fixed by congress under each
recurring census SO as to secure ade-
quate representation for every state
without making the house too large
and unwieldy The Constitution of
the United States, adopted in 1889,
said the number of representatives
should not exceed one for every 10000
of population, and as no census had
yet been taken, 10000 was adopted as
the ratio of representation and the
population of the different states was
estimated. By this process the first
house of representatives consisted of
65 members. Since then congress has
passed 13 apportionment acts, under Is
different censuses, changing the basis
of representation every time except
once
In 1900 and in 1910 the ratio was
fixed at one representative for 80 600
population In 1920 the ratio was in
creased to $4,000. and it has been in
creased every tenth year since till it is
now 211.S71T, while the membership of
the house has increased from So to 435.

OLD GOTHIC BARNS
Great Structures in England
Similar to Village Churches.
UnapproachabIe in Dignity; Beautiful
as cathedraIs; No ostentation of
the Builders Art.

The great old stone barns of Eng
land, dating. many of them, from the
fourteenth century, are, comparatively
speaking, little known to the general
public, says the Christian Science
Monitor. The beautiful architecture
to be found in the English village
churches has received its full need Of
appreciation. and so, though possibly
in slightly less degree, have the
fine old manor houses which dot the
countryside and provide most inter-
eSting study in the local variations
Which occur in the generally prevail
ing style at any given period. The
barns, however, have been rather neg
lected, and literature on the subject is
practically nonexistent.
Yet the barn is Intimately bound up
with the history of the neighborhood
in which it stands, and where, for pos
sibly nearly 500 years, it has been full
filling practically the same eminently
important functions, with little change,
for the benefit of the folk in its neigh
borhood. The methods of the farmer
may vary, but the general routine of
the countryside goes on, much the
same, century after century, and the
great barns still stand ready to house
the peoples food as they have done,
summer and winter, for so many hum
dred years.
These old Gothic barns are very
dignified and very beautiful buildings.
comparable in some ways to the vii
lage churches whose contemporaries
they are, and if they are less ornate,
they are. in their simplicity, hardly
less imposing. Indeed, some people
would give the balance in favor of
the barns in this matter.
/ 1t is by no means always an easy
| matter to tell the precise date Of
/ these barns at first sight, but some
! times there is a little carving, a bit
of tracery or a final which will supply
the clew, or possibly again, the form
/ of buttress may afford an indica-
ton; but fortunately there are gener-
ally local records to which access may
be had containing details of the origin
and foundation of the barns.
Among the famous fourteenth CEN
! tury barns of England are those az
/ Glastonbury, Wells and Pilton in Som
ersetshire, Great Coxwell in Berkshire
and Abbotsbury in Dorsetshire. These
are all what may be described as barns
of the first magnitude; great cruci-
form buildings which may well vie in
size and dignity with many churches.
OF the barn at Great Coxwell, viii
liam Morris said that it was tunap-
proachable in its dignity, as beautiful
as a cathedral, yet with no ostentation
of the builders art" and he always
declared that it was one of the finest
buildings in England or anywhere else

whv ships Are Sunk.

Torpedoed merchant vessels are not
sunk by extensive damage of the ship
structure, is the view of a committee
Of the British Institution of Naval
Architects, but because watertight
compartments are not watertight-
Plating and riveting are not disturbed
over large areas, while bulkheads are
not burst in by water pressure. Three
causes explain many losses-bulkhead
doors too low down to be closed after
explosion, flooding of closed compart-
ments through fractured suction pipes,
and penetrating of bulkheads by flying
rivets and other fragments of steel.
