The Daily North Western OF Os-

the work of Capt. Lowell L.
Walker, who has charge of the STU

CHAPTER vi.
Over the German Lines.


TAR above her Peggy could see
the airplane of Teddy Rose.
l. The machine was webbing a
Dit. but so far it was bearing its
wounded and unconcious driver safe
~ in the high heavens. How long it
could keep its balance. however, was
a question that worried Peggy.
Peggy was determined to save
him. 1t would never do to allow
this glorious day to end in disaster.
Up raced her own toy airplane,
which was endowed with tremendous
speed, thanks to the magic OF the
leaves of the Golickety Shrub. AS
she came up behind him, she saw in
what a critical state he was, A bull
let had evidently struck him in the
head knocking him senseless. He
had slumped back in his seat, but
was held partly upright by his sup
ports. His hands still gripped the
cc.trols and it was due to this fact
that the airplane was holding to its
course in the air. If he should tum-
bic to one side, the shift in the con.
trolls might send him plunging to the
ground behind the German trenches
far beneath.
Save him, Princess Peggy"
shrieked General Swallow. Don't
let such a splendid fighter be killedw
Peggy didn't need to be urged.
But the problem before was a mighty
big one for little girl to solve away
up there 5000 feet in the air. To add
to her trouble little bursts of white
smoke began to appear in the air all
about them. She quickly guessed
what that meant-the German anti
craft guns far beneath were shooting
=. the helpless American plane. And
all the time the plane was dropping
lower and lower, making an easier
target to hit. Something had to be
done at once.
Peggy sped up behind and landed
her tiny airplane on the webbing
American machine. Then she quick
ly recited the verse.
"Golickety tall, Golickety fast!
Oh, when it comes fall, why summer
is past"
This time she had it right, and in
a trice she was her usual size. Bal
ancing herself cautiously on the air
plane, she leaned over the uncon-
cious form of Teddy Rose. She had
to be very careful, for if she should
cause him to topple, the plane might
60 tumbiing downward before she
could stop it. She saw that his safe
ty belt was loose and she frightened
it so that he could not tumble about.
Then placing her hands over his on
the controls and pushing him back,
she worked the rudders until the air
plane began to rise and to swing
around in large circle.
The shells from the anti-aircraft
guns were now bursting very close.
Peggy had come to the rescue just
in time Indeed, before the airplane
could climb out of range, Peggy felt
several great jars, and looking out
at the wings saw to her alarm that
great holes had been torn in them.
These holes caused the airplane to
climb less rapidly, but still it forged
upward. AS it headed back toward
the American lines Peggy straight
enued the controls and the machine
sped straight ahead. There was an
other great jar as she'll exploded
close by, and the machine wobbled
and began to drop rapidly. At the
same time it started to scircle back
toward. the German trenches. The
she'll had blown a particularly large

Heavens in November
By WILLIAM F. RIGCE.

During this month our clocks viii,
come closer than at any other time
during the year in agreeing with the
natural time. as shown by sun dial.
There were three differences be-
tween our clocks and the sun, whose
united effect amounted last July to
as much as al hour and half. The
first was that our timepieces had to
indicate mean time instead of ap-
parent time, which might bring
about a difference OF nearly l6
minutes, for the double reason that
the sun appears TO move in the eclip-
tic which is considerably inclined to
the equator, and that the earth's
orbit is really elliptical and not cir
cular. The second was that our
clocks did not show Omaha time,
but central time, which is %
minutes, 48 seconds fast of our local
time. And the third was that be-
tween 2 a. m. of the fast Sundays of
March and October our timepieces
were advanced one hour.
This last difference of an hour is
no longer operative this month. The
second one Of q minutes, 4Sseconds
permanently sets our clocks that
much ahead. But the first, called the
EQUATION of time, now makes the
sun about Is minutes fast, or our
clocks that much slow So that from
the lst to the 9th of this month.
when the difference has its smallest
value of seven and half minutes
q minutes, 4S seconds minus about
10 minutes-the sun will be~due
scutn and exactly on the meridian
when our clocks show 1907 p. nj.
By way of comparison it may be
useful to know that during the sec
ond half OF July our clocks then
showed l:30 p. m. These times are
always indicated in the column
headed Noon" in our monthly
schedules.
The days diminish in length by
| hour during the month, being 10
hours, 5 minutes long on the ls'
9 hours, s. minutes on the 18th, and
9 hours, Is minutes on the 30th.
Towards the end of the month the
sun sets at ASS, within minutes OF
its earliest. 1t may surprise US to
remember that this time is more
than four hours earlier than it was
at the end Of June.
The moon is in conjunction with
Jupiter on the 2lst and with Saturn

GREAT U-BOAT DRIVE
EXPECTED IN APRIL
Bigger Submarines, According TO
British Authority. Likely to
Be Used Then.

LONDON, Feb. 23. - Germany's
maximum submarine effort is ex-
pected between April and June, ac-
ccrding to the opinion expressed by
a high naval authority. 1t is prob
able then that she will use her much
heralded super-submarines.
Although L boats of what is known
as the Deutschland class have al
ready been active, it is believed that
Germany's biggest underseas craft
are not as yet at work, and there is
reason to expect them to take part in
the spring offensive.

submarine menace will be done for,

have sunk every German submarine
