Lieut.. Milton Bran, Asst. Personnel
AdJutant at Souther Field described
his novel experiences, while at Talia-
ferro Field, Hick, Texas.
On this occasion he was doing para
chute gunner practice, and in COM
pany with a Lieut.. Williams, who was
plotting, assembled three thousand feet
so as to give ample time to spiral
down and shoot at the parachute at
1t descended. 1t was one of those
cloudy days so rare to Texas, but an
ideal day for aerial pastime of this
sort After repeated practice of this
sort they were just on the verge of
calling in a day, when Williams at
tracted Bram's attention, who was in
the gunnery cockpit, to a V-shaped
formation that seemed headed directly
across their.path of flight Wild duck
could be the only solution to the
honking sound they were making and
1t was mutually agreed upon that
chase should be given, not only for
the sport but because Of the difficult
target moving object of this kind
would make. With a full magazine
on the Lewis, and a Curtis ship fitted
with Hispano-Suiza motor, the ducks
were out classed in speed, and relied
only on their aerial tactics in their
vain effort to get away When caught
up with, their only hope was a quick
about-face, and as they passed the ship
whitening machine gun fire would
dWindle their numbers.
In the ecstacy of this sport no at
tention was given to direction. and
with strong north wind blowing
they were soon drifted out of sight of
the flying field, and practically lost on
the plains of Texas. No worry was
given as to a possible forced landing
as you can land anywhere in this
state, but it was decided that they
land and get their bearings from a
lone farm house, the only place of
habitation in sight Williams had
Just cut his gun and was going into
gentle spiral for a landing, when
out of slight mist he spied the two
water tanks in the distance charac-
istic to all Texas flying fields. There
was no doubt in their minds that it not

field. A landing was necessary as
the gas and sense direction both were
very low at this time,
To make an otherwise long story
short, they nosed over in filledin
ditch in the center of the field and it
took a detail of about twenty cadets
to extract them from the mud.
1t was contemplated by them both,
to get a little gas and the right direc-
ton to their field, and then beat
hasty retreat but with broken pro-
jeller it necessitated calling the home
field and telling them of their present
predicament. The faithful command
ing officer punished them with week
on the ground, but needless to say
they both admit that the experience
was worth it.

PROPOSES A BILL
 THAT WILL PLACE A
 PREMIUM ON IDLENESS

BERLIN, June 5.-The Imperial Workless Committee has prepared bill for the National Assembly which, if enacted into law, might rut a considerable premium on idle ness. Ostensibly the bill is designed only to give a living to millions of Germans out of employment but is goes so far that the man who works would be at a disadvantage.
 In the first place man would be considered without employment even though he declined an offer of work. Employment must come only through his solicitation. When out of work each man would receive ten marks day, his wife four marks and child ren under fourteen two marks.
 The German newspapers are treat ing the proposal with varying de. grees of sarcasm.

Nu- merous Home Guard companies from time to time have turned out to be Spartacan nests, when disordets de- veloped but on the other hand the Home Guards serving only on call are easy to recruit, and are sorely needed in every community because of the half-Spartacan and half-rob- Der bands which have appeared al most everywhere.

that several of these holders be made
at the same time. A number of up
rights and cross pieces might just as
well be pIaned up and sawed at the
same time. And then when asked for
some piece you will have a holder
ready TO give away.
On account of the small amount Of
material necessary, the holder may be
constructed from, better wood than
usual, such as red gum, mahogany,
black walnut or oak. OFTEN pieces OF
an old sewing machine or organ are
available for small articles. These
woods can be stained to match any
dresser or table on which 1t is to be
placed.
The design as IS indicated on the
drawing is a very simple one and can
be easily made by the beginner. For
those more advanced in the use OF
tools and with some idea Of design,
this model can be varied. For instance
the bases of the uprights may be made
larger than the tops.
In constructing the watch holder.
begin by making the base. which IS
q" 3" 6k" with the top edge
chamfered IN. There IS a difference
setween a chamfer and a bevel but n
chamfer would look best in this case.
The cross arms and uprights are
next made in one piece if the stock
available is long enough to do so. Il
is easier to plane up a long piece than
a short one.
The uprights are 20 be cut four

So that was the reason why Mary
Jane stood on her front door step

Not thing could she think of to

but she could not use those in the

but what fun is there in sIeding when
there is no one to pull or be pulled?
And-But WAS there no one to pull

when the owl that lives in the next

rubs her eyes, mother climbs down to
her listening limbs, and sits the long

not hear anything scary, she says
''r-r-r-r" way down in her throat,
which means come on and we
scramble down the tree right behind
her After we are all on the ground,
she sits down and listens some more,
and makes US keep right still while
she listens. Presently she gets up,
rolls some more RS down in her throat,

Of the holder.
AS can be seen on the drawing the

round head screws, while the uprights
are fastened to the base with fiat head
screws. Locate the center OF tho up

purpose is a one and one-half Inch

The holes in the base are bored one
and one-haIf inches from the ends
on the center line and countersunk. A
