CHANNEL PATROL
BOAT s MANNED
BY VAC H I SNEN
Amateurs Commana Own
Launches On Duty Off En-
glish Coast; Know Waters

DOVER, England, May 5-(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press)-
Men who were yachtsmen i'm the days
Of peace constitute very largely the
personnel of the fleets of motor
launches which have played an i'm
portant part in most of the British
operations in the English Channel
during the past three and has years
In the recent Zeebrugge affair more
than score of them were engaged,
putting up the smoke screen and act
ing as mosquito escort" to the des-
troyers and other ships engaged.
The yachtsmen who man these
launches entered the naval service at
the beginning of the war with an in
innate knowledge of the waters
around the British Isles, and also of
the French and Belgian coastal wat
ers, so that they were able to perform
many important services.
Dozens of the launches which they
piWt dlC vi
Many others. especially those used in
the early days of the war, were fast
pleasure craft, lent to the Admiralty
and usually commanded by their own
ers, who received commissions in the
Volunteer Reserve.
1t Is true that these men had only
been amateur sailors, but their local
knowledge was often equal to that of
the professional liahermen, and to
this preliminary advantage they soon
added the benefits derived from in.
tensive courses of naval instruction.
At present all these men have become
professional and qualified members of
the British "Senior Service"
Although these motor launches are
built primarily for fast patrol work,
they usually carry a serviceable gun,
and in several cases have given good
account of themselves in fight. A
few days ago, German submarine
sighted an American sailing ship and
attacked her. Before the U.bOat could
do any damage, however, a watchful
motor launch appeared and opened
fire. The enemy. taken by surprise,
was compelled to withdraw his atten-
tion from the American and defend
himself against his tiny enemy. The
sailing ship escaped without sustain
ing any damage, and the submarine
was compelled to submerge under a
rain of shells.
The mOtor.launch fleet comes tech,
nically under the head of Auxiliary
Patrol" In the Admiralty ledgers. a
place which 1t shares with its part
ner, the trawler fleet. The trawler pa
troll is manned mainly by fishermen
as the motor launches are. manned by
yachtsmen. An indication of the es-
sential democracy of the British char
acter is to be found in the good fellow
ship which exists between the men of
the trawlers and the men of the mo-
tor launches.

HOW TO TELL AGE OF EGGS.

There is a simple method of ascer-
tanning the age of eggs, based upon
the fact that the airy space at the
broad end of the egg increases with
its age. Now, when the egg is placed
in a tumbler of water in which any
amount of common salt is dissolved, it
will, with increasing age, tend ever
more to assume a position with it's
longitudinalA axis in a perpendicular
direction. A fresh laid egg will lie
horizontally IN the bottom of the YES
sci. An egg from three to four days
old will rise with it's broad end, so
that it's longitudinal axis forms with
it's horizontal axis an angle of twenty
degrees. At the age of eight days the
angle increases to forty-five degrees,
at the age of two weeks to sixty de-
grees and at the age of three weeks to
about seventy-five degrees. When the
egg is more than a month old it will
float perpendicularly on it's small end.

only son, you are in bad company.

They are not safe company for you.
II. beg you to quit their society"
"You needn't be afraid OF me, faith
err" replied the boy, laughing. Il
guess / know a thing or two. l know
how far to go and when to stop"
The lad left his fathers house, twirl.
ing his cane in his fingers and laugh
ing at the old mans notions.
A few years later and that lad,
grown to manhood, ST aod at the bar of
a court before a jury which had just
brought in a verdict for a crime in
which he had been concerned. Before
he was sentenced ne addressed the
court and said, among other things:
my downward course began in dis
obedience to my parents. I thought
knew as much of the world as my
father did and I spurned his advice,
but as 500 as | turned my back on
my home temptation came upon me
like a drove of hyenas, and hurried
me to ruin"
Mark that confession, you boys who
are beginning to. be wiser than your
parents! Mark it,. and learn that dis
obedience is the first step on the road
to ruin. Don't take it!

friend goodbye, he spread his new
wings and rose upward on the sun
shiny air.
He kept going upward and upward
until the sun became hot. The heat
was so great that his tissue paper
wings caught fire and burned up. The
Little Wee Man began to fall down,
down, until finally he landed in some
grass, in a back yard, where some
children were playing.
"Oh, look what we have found" they
cried. And they played with him a
long time. He could not make them
understand that he wanted to get to
the moon, for they did not know his
language and he did not know theirs.
After a while they grew tired of play
ing with him, and they put him in a
little pasteboard box and closed it
tightly, so that he could not get away.
AS he was sitting in the dark box,
wondering what would become of him,
he heard a ''sniff, sniff" and felt some
thing warm near the of the box.
A big dog tore the pasteboard in two,
and the little man jumped out.
The Little Wee Man was grateful to
the dog for being delivered from his
prison.. Here, in the dim light, he
found a spider, busily spinning a
beautiful web.
ooh, Mr.. Spider" said the Little
Wee Man, would you be kind enough
to weav me a balloon out of those
silken threads? | want to get back
to my home in the moon, and | have
no way to get there"
So the spider wove a balloon out o.
spider web, and he filled up the opeI
spaces with moss which grew plenti
fully under the house. He worked
hard three days but, at last, it was
finished.
He filled it full of air, by dragging
it near a crack through which thu
wind was blowing and then pulling OF
a rope to keep the air in. The Little
Wee Man then jumped in a littl'
spider-web, basket at the bottom. Th'
balloon rose slowly and passed on
through a knothole in the steps.
"Good-by, good Mr.. Spider h
shouted, and was soon out of sight.
AS he was flying upward he ran int
little Miss Butterfly, who hoped on t
the side of his basket. What a mic
little balloon this u.s." she cried.
Come up to the noon with me, dea
Butterfly said the Little Wee Man.
So the Little Wee Man and the Blu
terfy SAILED up to the moon, wher
they lived happily eve afterward.

DUST IN THE SWEEPER.

"Only last week l found Mary's ear
ring here" said the experienced house
wife to a younger woman as yet quite
inexperienced in housekeeping ways,
who had wondered why the speaker
should look over the accumulated dust
that she had just shaken out of a
carpet sweeper; the Mary referred to
being the maid employed in this home.
Mary came to me-" the speaker
continued, and said she had lost one
of her earrings and she had looked
everywhere for it, but just simply
couldn't. find it; but l knew the like,
Hest place to look for it, and there ]
did find it, in the dust of the carpet
sweeper, where many a jewel has been
found before this, and where, no doubt,
many a jewel has been lost. l always
look over the dust out of a carpet
sweeper before throwing it away
Upon hearing which the inexperi
enced young woman registered a men
tai resolve that when she went to
housekeeping she would do the same
