 By this time the first relay of enemy machines, sent as we after wards learned to bomb our own aero dome again, began to returns As they were on their own side of the line, and in blissful ignorance of the fate of their aerodome, they were flying with navigation lights full on thereby giving their position away in the darkness.
 Relieved of our bombs, we were able to give fight, and successfully shot down one in flames. while an other was distinctly seen to crash on top of wood.
 Having thus paid our debts in full we left the remainder to land on bomb-riddled aerodome-no en viable task at night-while we went off home to celebrate good nlgbts work, with the comforting assurance that the R. A. F. were at least one up on their adversaries' game

LONDON, July 26.-How a British flying squadron turned the tables on German airmen who had been bombing their airdome is related by Lieutenant w. A Banres of the Royal Air Force.
 We had been giving the Hun a lively time," the officer says, bomb ing his dumps, billets, communica- tions and towns nightly. When, therefore, he bombed our aeroplanes two evenings in succession and com pletely upset all our arrangements, it was generally agreed that he had scored one over us Much as his enterprise was admired, however. it was decided to try to check it. The plan evolved was simple. The next day the British machines were flown over to neighboring aero dome, where it was believed they would be safe fromsraids. Then they started off just after dark to make a reprisal attack.
 We arrived at the enemy's lair, Lieutenant Barnes narrates, 'at a most opportune moment, for sec ond relay of his machines were just 'taxying' across the ground to take of55 in the flare path.

have heard people say that

these people know what love
really means. Don't you think
that most people often mistake
infatuation for love?
To my mind, IL we were in
during our life, polygamy would
be the popular thing and per-
misslble everywhere.
Therefore, when one marries a
second time. 1t must be because
the first was not true love at all
but just a passing fancy. In the
case where one marries a second
time just for some one to fill
his or her lonely life-don't you
think that most unfair to tho
other party? For surely a mar
riage OF this sort could not
knowingly be contracted by two
people and both be happy.
Yours very truly,

Men and women who have
had the great happiness OF be-

choice has been more casual.
1t would be inconceivable to

Stevenson goes on to say,
that no deeper feeling than
this often prompts marriage.

TO rest upon the depth OF ones
