AirpIane Flares.

The announcement was recently
made by Maj. Gen. c. G. Williams,
chief of ordnance, of the perfection
and the adoption by the army for
use in France of an airplane flare for
night bombing. According to Major
General Williams, the flare is released
from bombing plane by pulling lev
er. AS it drops the resistance offered
by the air sets the fuse mechanism In
operation. The result is the emission
of a powerful light of from 100000 to
100000 candle power, which completely
Eliminates the terrain below. The
amount of light given is equivalent to
that of battery Of from $50 to ITO
street arc lamps or from $4,000 to IT,
500 ordinary incandescent lamp bulbs
such as are used In the home. As soon
as the flare gets into operation a huge
made Of the best quality
silk, opens and holds the brilliant light
in suspension in the air for a sufficient
time to allow the aviator to select his
objective or target. The bombs then
follow.

PROFIT SHARING IN FRANCE
Idea Is More Widely Hold In That
Country Than Any Other Part
Of the World.

Profit sharing is being widely dis
cussed in England now, In connection
with the nations war activities, and
much consideration is being directed
to experience in France, where 1t has
been In operation for TO years. There
is in France a society organized for
the purpose of promoting profit shar-
ing, and this society has been recog-
nized by the government as public
utility"
In the French proft-sharing plans
generally benefit funds are instituted
to provide for emergencies in the life
Of the workers. Ordinarily workmen
do not receive their share Of the profit
in cash, but in the form Of fund,
which goes to purchasing shares in the
business or to old-age pensions.
There are various systems Of profit
sharing In vogue in France. One Of
these gives a percentage Of the net
profits over the wages, the manage
ment, and the various benefit funds.
Another bases the percentage on sales
or total business done. Still ether
forms base the amount given the work
ers on the dividend rate, the amount
Of capital, or as a bonus at the dis
erection of the employer. Certain COM
panies are able to share with their
workers any savings they may make
In the cost Of producing goods.
