RABBIT DAMAGE IN ORCHARD
They Are Guilty of as Rule
Mice Do Most Injury.

Rabbits usually do lees damage In
orchards than they are credited with.
In very young orchards or in nurseries
they sometimes cut Off the young
branches and may occasionally gnaw
the bark. but as rule they do less

NO WiPiNG, LESS BREAK
AGE WITH THIS DISH
DRAlNER.

Perhaps no time spent in
housework is more begrudged by
the housekeeper than that spent
in washing and wiping dishes. A
dish drainer not only saves time
and labor but it does away with
the too-often insanitary dish
towel. BY keeping the dishes
separate rather than in a pile it
should also reduce breakage.
A most satisfactory dish drain
er, illustrated above, can be
made by using an ordinary bread
or biscuit pan and racks made of
soft No. II or IA wire. BY using
pair Of pliers the wire can be
bent into the proper shape for
forming the racks. The racks
fit into the pan and hold the
dishes out of the water. The
compartment for silver is made
of poultry netting. This COM
partment could be made of
screen wire, or q TIN can with
holes in the bottom might be
used.
After the dishes are washed
they are stacked in the racks
and scalded with hot rinsing wa
ter. The pan catches the drip,
and the dishes soon dry clean
and lintless. If the drainer Is
used on the drain board of a
sink a small hole can be made in
the pan and the drip drained i'm
mediately into the sink. The
wire racks can easily be remov-
ed so that the pan can be used
for other purposes.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE
British Airman Goes Through Ex-
citing Experience.
Tall Of His Machine Shot OF While
Flying at 10000 Feet Over
Ostend.

Londoh.-A British airman flying a
powerful machine at 10000 feet over
Ostend recently had the machines tail
shot off by the direct hit of shell, a
very unusual occurrence.
The machine turned upside down,
out of control, and the pilot was
thrown out of his seat. BY some in
eXplicable maneuver he managed to
Chamber onto the bottom Of the fusel-
age of the machine astride OF which
he sat as If he was riding a horse.
Though the machine was out of con-
troll, owing to the loss of it's tail planes,
yet by moving forward and backward
he so managed to balance 1t that 1t
was upside down.
He successfully brought 1t across
the German lines and came safely 10
within few hundred feet Of the
ground. Then he crashed and was in
jured. but is now recovering in hos
pital.
When 1t Is considered that this In
cident occurred at a height of 10000
feet, over hostile territory, and that
during the airman's terribly precariOus
ride he was subject to anti-aircraft
fire. and liable to the attack of hostile
scouts, 1t Us not too much to say that
his is a record achievement.
Recently another airman was shot
down, out of control, from 1900 feet,
and fcll, huttering like n leaf toward
the ground. At n height Of 1000 feet
he tainted. 81 nrtlv afterward he
came to. and fOund himself in the ma
chine upside down in marsh, unhurt.

Allies Praise Americans for Part
They Played in Durazzo
Engagement.
ACTIVE DUTY PLEASEs MEN
Squadron Of Twelve Commanded by
Captain Nelson Forms Screen for
Big Warships-One Of Fate's
Queer Twists

LOndOn.-A contingent OF IL Amert-
can submarine chasers played a bril-
liant and novel part in the DurazzO en-
gagement. This chaser squadron ef-
fectively acted as a screen around the
big ships engaged in the bombardment
to protect them against submarines.
The Americans were under heavy fire,
but had no casualties.
Capt. G. Z. Nelson and Lieut.. Com.
p. III. Bastedo commanded the squad
ron. large percentage of the officers
and men were of the naval reserve
and reports of the operation praise
their work highly.
The Americans definitely sank one
submarine and damaged and probably
destroyed another. After the engage
ment they escorted British cruiser
which had been hit by torpedo safely
to the base from which the expedition
started. An enemy hospital ship was
also taken in charge for examination.
Active Duty PIeases Men.
Throughout the bomburdment and
when the forces were approaching the
harbor the chasers circled swiftly
around the big ships. A report received
here says the men had good time and
evidently were pleased with the sue
cess of the first achievement of this
character the chasers had attempted
to work. Heretofore they have been
pntrolling, dropping depth charges and
firing on enemy submarines.
Austria Hungary has at the most
only two modern battleships left; she
has lost large number of small craft,
and now DurazZo, the advanced base
of her depleted fleet, has been rem
dered useless, writes the British naval
expert, Archibald Hurd, In the Daily
Telegraph. Continuing, he says:
'Durazzo, practically dominating all
one side of the Adriatic, was to the
Austrians what Zeebrugge was once to
the Germans. No effort had been
spared to make 1t an impregnable pert
which would be valuable to the Aus
TRANS, as base of military forces Of
the quadruple alliance in Albania, and
in addition be a pistol aimed ut the
allies.
Sees One Of Fate's Queer Twists.
In the scheme of attack provision
had been made by the entente naval
forces for the cooperation Of Ameri-
can submarine chaSers, OF which quite
number have been working In the
Mediterranean. 1t was an irony of fate
that whereas the Germans boasted OF
the damage their submarines would do
to the Americans 1t was the submarine
chasers of our friends which travelled
Bbout four thousand miles to deal with
the German partner at his very gate
way.
"The. American seamen will be cor
daily congratulated by their comrades
In the other allied navies on the de-
structiOn OF two Austrian submarines.
The attack was n direct and menacing
challenge to tt Austro- Hungarian
fleet. and 1t presents another effective
blow struck at the enemy.
"The task of making a way through
the mine fields I'm broad daylight must
have been difficult and hazardous
one. We shall probably learn that
some Of our hardy east coast fisher
men, Englishmen and Scotchmen, had
hand in clearing the passage for the
'rships."
