On Watch for Airplane Scout

MS guns out of action, besides account.

ana 1t was evident that he meant to
discover Its position somehow. There
were several German balloons I'D as II
was, though fortunate rise in the
ground just hid the Battery from their
view Nor was it likely that on a day
when visibility was so goc / the enemy
would stop at one casual airplane. 1t
was far more likely that he would send
them over at intervals throughout the
day.
And so 1t happened. Before an
hour was past a second speck appeared
In the sky and again the scene shifting
took pla~e on the blast of the whistle.
This time the hostile plane was shap-
ing course that would bring it very
nearly over the battery, and the sen1-y
watched it with some concern. On it
came, the shrapnel bursting furiously
round it, diving and wheeling to dis
concert the gunners' aim. 1t swept
over the battery, went straight on for a
few minutes, then turned and came
back again. Had it seen anything sus-
picious? The sentry scanned the or
chard sharply. Everything was In per-

occupation; there were no tracks visi-

carefully covered up. 1t Is on details
like this that the safety of a battery
depends. Upon the slightest hint that
anything is hidden in particular spot
the airplane calls up its guns and
ranges on the place. And ever after
ward one has the uncomfortable feel

any moment torrent of shell may ar

The plane was perceptibly lower; 1t
almost seemed as if its suspicious
must have been aroused. 1t swept off

series of miracles. But suddenly it
seemed to CULVER its tail went up, and
1t began to dive steeply. The sentry
watched II eagerly through his glasses.
Was 1t a ruse to escape the shell. or
was 1t hit? Slowly the plane began to
turn over as it fell, and then, all at
once, all control seemed to leave it.
and it dropped steadily. turning over
and over, the sun flashing from It's pol
ished fusilage as 1t did so. Lower and
lower it fell, until only few hundred
feet from the ground, when it turned
on its side and crashed swiftly to earth,
mile or so from the battery.
The sentry blew his whistle once
more, and the battery returned to its
work cheering and whistling. Every
one had seen the machine come to
earth and was proportionately elated.
But, as always, chivairous feeling for
their fallen enemy was mingled with
the mems JOY.
"Plucky sportsman, that" said one.
and the rest echoed his sentiments.

WOMEN MAKING AIR.
 CRAFT
Work Is So Clean That They Can Wear Emery Without Getting
 It SOiled

Wcmen's adaptability to all lines of 'industry has been shown i'll England.
 where the production of aircraft has fallen largely in their hands, accord. ing 10 L. K. Yates. He says in his study of women in war work. which has reached the Department of Labor:
 The work is for the most part light. and the new factories. often
 erected in open country. are bright,
 airy. and largely free from the noise ! Of machinery. Aded 10 these special
 attractions 10 the woman worker there ! is apparently a distinct appeal 10 the
 youth Of both sexes and to women of ! all ages in anything connected with Ehe arr Of flying.
 Ill is no secret that our output Of aircraft IS steadily increasing and that during 1917 il has been doubled.
 h one factory in London the output has been trebled within three months: in Lancashire there are instances where il has been doubled, and other areas show an improved production varying from 9 10 50 per cent. Yet the increased demand for labor for this work has always been inmedi- a.e;y answered. and there is q steady aoF into the factories Of the best -ype Of women workers from every class O. society. Here and there one meets woman who, during the short period ot the war. has risen to be manager or partner in all aircraft fac to-y. Uneonsciousiy such a one en- pdacizes the fact that the mastery Of the element Of the future is likely to be an affair Of both the sexes.

 Submarine mines are made of an outer casing of steel and an inner charge of high explosive.

 The mines lying far outside of a
 harbor contain their ignition system

Or an internal ignition sys- tenn may be employed When a ship hits the mine it rolls it over. This re- leases an iron ball which is ordinarily held in small cup in the center of the mine. The ball falls out of the cup and pulls upon string. releas- ing trigger and firing of the charge.

Arkansas is receiving unlimit- praise from Washington for the patriotic stand taken by the citizenship of the state in the conservation of food.
 MT. Hoover in praising the patriotism of the people of the United States, states emphatic ally that Arkansas met the re- quirements nearer to the letter than any state id the Union.

 We are now called U pos da con. serve SUGAR and I believe the people will be as willing to meet this demand as they were when confronted with flour shortage.
 The order direct from Herbert C. Hoover follows:
 Sugar purchases are limited to two pounds in town and five pounds in the country.
 The maximum quantity fami- ly is permitted to buy is three pounds per capita per month.

Knowledge of Telegraphy and skill in its use makes a man valuable in many lines today. The large numbers Of ex
 perienced operators drafted and volunteering for service in the army ranks as we'll as in the sigral corps have drawn heavily from the telegraph operators and have left many vacancies in the railroad and telegraph offices. Likewise, many have been di- verted from entering these off ices as operators. thus cutting down the normal supply of op- orators, which have always been available to fill the usual vacancies. This sudden and steady increase in vacant posit- ions and the alarming shortage of operators to fill them has drawn frcm the commercial 'hools every advanced student.
