REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH
Portuguese Statesman May Not Have
Been FIattered, but at Least He
Won One Vote.

Senior Costa. the Portuguese prime
minister, is excusing himself from max
ing a speech on the ground that he was
no orator, told an amusing anecdote at
q luncheon party given in his honor
during his recent visit to London. IL
appears that when he first put up Tor
the Portuguese national council he
prefaced his opening address to the
electors by alluding frankly to ms
lack of oratorical gifts. After he had
finished man pushed forward. grasp
ed his hand warmly, and said;
"Senhor. I've been a lifelong oppo-
nent Of yours, but at the coming eiec-
ton I shall vote for you"
THANK you," said Costa. much graf
flied. "May / ask the particular rea-
son for your change of views?
Because you are the first speaker
on either side that | have heard tell
the truth" was the reply. "You said
when you began that you couldn
make much of speech, and by heaV-
ems, Senior, you can't"

British Maintain Superiority.

With the British Army in France, May Il, (By the Associated Press.)- There has been much air fighting dur ing the past few days and the British airmen have fully sustained the great reputation they esta tablished early in the war Scores of battles might be recounted in which the British triumphed over greater numbers of the adversary. All of these stories vary only as to details.
 Several days ago near Ypres one British machine attacked five Germans single-handed. The Britisher engaged one of the enemy and fought him until he turned tail and fled. The English pilot then went after another German and pressed the attack So hard that the enemy was forced into a nose spin in an attempt to escape. The ruse was futile, however, for the Britisher followed him down firing steadily into the helpless German ma chine with his machine gun until the latter turned on it's back and fell plummet-li1<e.
 Another British plane was attacked by six enemy machines which came at it from below and behind. The British observer opened fire at close range, riddling the leading German machine which dived and then burst into flames. The British pilot got away safely.
 But fighting planes are not the only ones that have been busy. The British bombing squadrons have been doing wonderful work destroying railroads, billets, ammunition dumps and bonn mbing enemy troops and tram sports. Tons of high explosives have been dropped among masses of the enemy at night causing heavy cas- ualties. The British machines also have been employed constantly in at tacking the infantry from low alti- tudes with machine guns and in many cases veritable slaughter has result ed.
 The artillery planes also have been doing invaluable service, directing the fire of British guns, and this repre- sents one Of the most important phases of the duties of the air corps for the pilots are the eyes of the gun ners.

MUNICIPAL ICE COST
 RAISED BY BAILEY
Ice Corporation Does Not Guarantee Price for Season Owing to
 Labor Conditions.

Ice handlers of New Britain have not as yet advanced the price for ice to householders, but there is a prOba- bility that the price will go up. At the New Britain Ice Corp. office this morning it was stated that an advance of five cents a hundred has been made to market men and wholesalers, the new figure being 30 cents a hun dred. The price to drug stores and saloons will be 40 cents hundred and the charge to hOuSehOlderS will be 50 cents. This price is not guar anteed," said MT. Rhodes.
 The price charged to householders bv the Bailey Ice Corp, which has the contract for the municipal ice, last season was 40 cents per hundred. It is likely that if the ice corporation makes a further advance the Bailey Ice Corp. will also advance.
 When the contract with the Bailey Ice Corp. was made by the board of water commissioners the price for municipal ice was fixed at 30 cents a hundred and 1t will be a surprise to many to learn that the cost was ad vanced It is understood that the raise was permitted by water depart ment officials, who took into considera- ton the advance in the cost of labor.
