Red Cross viii Keep Relatives

Washington.-The American Red
Cross. through its bureau or communi-

lean expeditionary force, in which II
asks these relatives to make inquiries
regarding their kin who are In the
army through the Red Cross bureau
of communication In Washington In
stead of, as Is the case in numerous
instances, of communicating with
agencies or individuals in Europe. The
request was issued In the name OF
Harvey d. Gibson, the American Red

Mr.. Gibson points out the fact that
in a majority of cases such inquiries
are merely turned over by the indiyid-
ual or agency to the Red Cross, which
has charge of such communication with
soldiers relatives. and which has de-
ve,oped special facilities for obtaining
Information about those reported
killed. wounded. or missing. and those
from whom letters have not been re-

ance in Finding Enemy
Submarines.
NECESSARY ALLY OF NAVY
Great Britain Sees Need OF Holding
Command of Air as Well as OF
Sea-Aircraft Either Attack
or Summon Patrols.

London.-The measure Of the sue
cess of the antisubmarine campaign is
the safe crossing of the Atlantic by a
million American troops.
There Is very properly good deal
of official reticence regarding the
methods by which submarines are de-
stroyed, but it is an open secret that
the royal air force has contributed
largely toward the defeat of the u
boat campaign.
Just as airplanes have become an
essential auxiliary 10 the army, so air
ally of the navy, making it clear that
ascendancy in the air in future will be
as vital to Britain as her present as
cendancy at sea.
Airships of two main types. the
smaller known as the submarine scout
and the larger as the coast patrol
type, and seaplanes. are the chief In
struments for dealing with submarines
from the air. The first business of all
aircraft or submarine offensive is to
Hilu the submarine.
See Submerged Boats.
From a certain height in the air,
submerged U-boats are visible TO OBJ
servers and their position Is communi-
Gated to the nearest naval patrol. The
work of aircraft is by no means con-
fined to detecting the U-boats. They
have means of Immediately attacking
their prey without waiting for the ar
rival of the naval patrol.
There is the obvious means of drop
ping bombs, fully effective when the
submarine is caught on or just below
the surface. Modern antisubmarine
aircraft are almost equally at home In
the air or on the water. Should the
U-boat dive through the water. its pur-
suer can dive through the air and re-
lease depth charges, which have con-
siderable range of action, and are much
feared by U-boat commanders.
In claiming for the r. A. F. large
share in winning the safe landing of
Americas first million the reservation
must be made that the range of air
craft irmn their bases IS limited. but
theis bases are not necessarily on land,
and seaplanes and submarine scouts
have accommodation on shipboard and
are carried to the area of their deep
Sea patrols.

Color and Horse Character

An old cavalry officer says that one
may Judge the constitution and char
actcr Of a horse from its color. Bright
cheStnuts and light bays are high Spir-
tied, but nervous and delicate. Dark
chestnuts and glossy blacks are hardy
and good tempered. Rich bays have
great spirit, but are teachablc. Dark
and iron grays are hardy and sound,
while light grayS are the opposite.
Roans, either strawberry or blue. are
the hardest and best working of all,
even tempered, easiest to train, taking
kindly to everything Rusty blacks are
distinguished for their pig-headedness.
A horses 'white stockings" give an
other clew To character A horse with
one white leg is a bad one, with two

In China dealing in money is bust

There are shops that deal in nothing
else-mOney exchange shops. You will
find one in nearly every twisted little
street in every city, often merely little

Good Manners Tested.

Bad manners often jar severely on
people who are we'll hammered. A
boor is not likely to suffer much from
the booriShness of others. A sensi-
tive, well-bred person to whom good
manners are second nature is so
keenly conscious of lapses in others
that he is liable TO suffer from 1t.

Locks and Dams Built.

In order to make navigation possible
on the rivers and lakes it was neCeS-
sary to maintain a specified minimum
depth and provide what is termed
''Slack-water navigation This was
accomplished by the construction of
dams and locks, the dams holding the
water at more or less fixed elevation
above the level of the stream and the
locks permitting the barges to move
from one level to another. Between
canal ten dams have been constructed,
which provide for navigation on the
canalized Mohawk river. Two of these
structures are of the ''fixed type" while
eight are movable. These actually
make the river a series of lakes, the
water between the dams being prac-
tically level and ordinarily without
much current A lock is constructed at
one side of each dam to enable the
barges to pass from the different lev
els.
Many travellers across the state have
wondered at the movable dams which
appear to be steel bridges, yet have
no approaches. This type of struc-
ture was necessary, however, because
from the bridge floor of each structure
the controlling works, which swing
underneath. are operated. These works
consist of heavy steel frames and gates
which may be lowered or raised at
will by operating electric winches run
ming on the bridge floor of the dam.
The particular function of the movable
dam is that when the gates are raised,
during the winter months and spring
