The aviator Is constantly finding
new lines Of activity for his skill and
courage. In South America the air
plane has been used with great sue
cess In surveying remote areas, where
Its speed readily Outclasses the la
borious chalnmen- An enterprising
mining company in Mexico is about to
utilize airplanes for carrying ores I'M
der unique conditions. The ore Is
mined at an altitude of some 10000
feet, and carried to the valley below
by pack-mules. The mules carry only
small loads, two-thirds of which con-
sist Of fodder and provisions. Several
days are required to wind down the
tortuous path on the mountain side.
The airplanes can volplane to the val
ley In a few minutes. and have no
trouble with their loads in reaching
the 10-0O0-foot altitude.

Fraud Proof Ballot Box.

A new type Of ballot box has been
patented which guards against cleo
ton frauds by stamping each ballot
as 1t is deposited, by counting the
votes. and by remaining closed ex-
cept when operated by a special key.
This box Is also provided with a small
crank that Is connected with the stamp
Ing and recording apparatus. 1t is so
made that when the locking device Is
released, the turning Of the crank ad-
mits the ballot to the contalner, records
the vote by adding one to the number
in the open-face register, and stamps
the sheets with any desired legend In
such a way that two ballots cannot
be cast at once and both be marked
properly.

WHIP AND SCORPION

Sad as it may seem, a great
many of our preachers through
out the land have suffered the
humiliation of being indicted for
acts unbecoming American cit
liens by advising their con-
gregations 10 resist the draft. re-
fuse to buy Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Stamps, and COM
hitting other acts which expose
them to ridicule, disgrace and
prosecution. These people think
they are doing the Almighty
service by these acts, while they
forget that peace can only be
restored now by furnishing the
perpetrators of the condition
that calls us to fight it out of
existence with guns and money.
As an example of what the
preacher position should be in
these trying times, we quote the
words of pastor Robert Baird,
Of the Walker Memorial Church
Of Birmingham, Ala. on what he
considered his duty. In a recent
sermon to his congregation he
said:
Having decided that my duty
is in the battle line with a gun
in my hand doing all in my
power to blot out this blight of
the world, | should be unworthy
of your respect and ashamed to
face the world if | failed to get
in the war, and so | am leaving
today for Camp Pike"
This is the proper spirit for the
times and conditions; this is the
policy that was carried out ~
the Master when he drove the
evil doors from the temple with
a scourge. So now, as then, we
must apply the whip and scorp-
ion to the gang who would
bring us all into penal servitude,
and cause the ambition of man to
sink to the level OF the brute.
How close this war brings our
sense of duty TO us, ii we will
only let reasonable thought lead
the way. How real 1t makes i'm

the divine undertaking Of all
hands concerned is to bring this
war to a successful ending with
the scourge of justice.

About two In the morning I was
awakened by some one shaking me by
the shoulder. Opening my eyes saw
regimental sergeant major bending
over me. He had lighted lantern in
mis- right hand. / started to ask him
what was the matter, when he put his
finger to his lips for silence and whis-
pered:
Get on your equipment, and. with
out any noise, come with me-"
This greatly mystified me, but
obeyed his order.
Outside of the billet, I asked him
what was up, but he shut me up with:
Don't ask questions, it's against Or
ders. 1 don't know myself"
1t was raining like the mischief.
We splashed along a muddy road for
about fifteen minutes, finally stopping
at the entrance of what must have
been an old barn. In the darkness
could hear pigs grunting, as if they
had just been disturbed. In front Of
the door stood an officer in a mack
(mackintosh). The r. S. M. went up
to him, whispered something, and then
left. This officer called to me, asked
my name, number and regiment, at the
same time, In the light of lantern he
was holding, making a notation in a
little book.
When he had finished writing, he
whispered:
$50 into that billet and wait orders,
and no talking. Understand"
I stumbled into the barn and sat on
the floor in the darkness. I could see
no one, but could hear men breathing
and moving; they seemed nervous and
restless. / know I was.
During my wait, three other men
entered. Then the officer poked his
head in the door and ordered:
Fall in, outside the billet in single
rank
We fell in, standing at ease. Then
he commanded:
"Squad-'Shun! Numberl"
There were twelve of us.
"Right-Turn Left-Wheel! Quick
March |" And away we went. The
rain was trickling down my back and
was shivering from the cold.
With the officer leading, we must
have marched over an hour, blowing
| through the mud and occasionally
stumbling into a shell hole in the road,
| when suddenly the officer made left
wheel, and we found ourselves In sort
| of enclosed courtyard.
The dawn was breaking and the
| rain had ceased.
In front of US were four stacks of
rifles, three to a stack.
The officer brought us to attention
| and gave the order to unpile arms. We
each took a rifle. Giving us "Stand at
| ease" in a nervous and shaky voice,

BILL BRENNAN TELLS
HOW TO UMPIRE GAME
Secret of Success Is Quick De-
cision and Normal Honesty.
Arbiter Prides Himself Not a Little on
His Ability as an Extemporaneous
Commentator-Louisvi
Was Tough Town.

Bill Brennan says the secret of sue
cess in the romantic fields of umpir-
ing is decision and normal honesty.
He believes further that the snappy
verbal comeback often helps an
"ump," and Bill prides himself not
little on his ability as an extern
poraneous commentator.
Louisville was tough town for UNI
pires last season, but William found
it the most hospitable and gracious
Of Southern cities. Bill attributes
much of his success in Kentuckian
fields to a terse answer he once gave
a Louisville player.
He called a pitch ball. =
"What's the matter with it," howled
an enraged Louisville player.
81 call 'em; don't explain EN-" bel
lowed Bill In return.
Thereafter the city of Louisville
was so taken with Bills ability as a
catch-as-catch-can conversationallst
that they took him to their hearts.
One of Bills maxims is never to
hesitate in rendering a decision. AS
the school book says, he who hesitates
gathers no moss, and Bill AYERS he
would rather be out and out wrong
about a decision than putter around
thinking about it.
Decisions are refiexes, anyhow, and
it is better a man should reflex freely
and quickly, even if enormously, than
to reflex NOT at all
Furthermore, Bill is a great believer
in letting the other fellows fight. He
says any time he worked in a game
played between the teams managed by
John CAMEL and Bill Clymer in the
American association he never had
to worry a minute. These managers
spent all their time fighting between
themselves, and consequently had no
time to gun for William.
