Guarding the captor.

After the Turkish line was broken
In front of Nablus, a Tommy of poor
physique found himself in sole charge
of a whole company of Jackos. No
assistance was In sight, so the ban
tam solemnly proceeded to march the
captlves toward the nearest com
pound, a few miles distant. The
Turks stumbled along, and the rough
nature of the country threw the col
umn into such confusion that Tommy
often found himself surrounded by
prisoners. Once, while negotiating Il
difficult descent, he fell headlong
nmong the boulders, his helmet and
rifle flying before him. For moment
the situation seemed critical; but a
stalwart prisoner promptly restored or
der by lifting the guard carefully TO
his feet and replacing the cumbersome
headgear, Then picking up the rife,
Abdul restored it with Il graceful bow,
and the column marched on to cap
tlvity.

Patriotism and Paint

The largest vacant lot or the
most stonily obdurate back yard
can easily be put into garden in a
week or so of spare hours, leaving
the conscientious and patriotic
citizen. after his first Jealous
agricultural sprint. with habits of
industry formed and crying
need for something further to turn
his hand to. He will have to
keep a watchful eye on his new
plots. to be sure. and later they
will require wedding and watering
and the intrusive attentions of the
hoe. But there will be an inter
regnum of fine spring days when
new civic tasks will be welcomed.
During that period, why is 1t
not possible to express patriotism
in terms of paint? Not, one has
tens to qualify, by redecorating
the house in red, white and blue
motif or by adorning the woodshed
with white stars on a blue field.
Neither would it be advisable to
90 about covering everything with
battleship gray or olive drab, to
reduce its visibility in case OF at
tack by land or air. The idea is
much simpler.
The chances are that repalnt-
ing in its original hue would do
the average house no harm. Or
if not the house at least the shed
or some porches or an occasional
fence post. A dollars worth of
paint adds hundreds of dollars to
the apparent worth of place and
advances the owner appreclably
in the rating of the neighborhood
Bradstreet. A newly painted
house brightens up whole blocks
at time.
Even where would be altogether
superhuons, whitewash judiciously
applied can never be amiss. White
wash and paint oug hit to be integral
parts of eveybody's spring clean
ing.

USE OF PARAyANES
SAVES MANY LIVES
British Invention Which Picked
Up Mines Ahead of the
Vessels.

Hundreds of American bluejacketl
undoubtedly were saved from death
because the American warships, while
proceeding through the mine-strewn
seas, were equipped with paravanes.
through courtesy Of the British sd.ni-
rally.
Fitted with paravanes, the warships
fished out any mines ahead of the
vessels. Novices often mistook the ap-
paratus for torpedoes. The thing made
a humming sound when adjusted to .
speeding ship, owing to friction.
The paravane consists Of a water
plane shaped like a torpedo. having
a pair of large fiat fms projecting ON
either side of its body. TIE tail is
fitted with rudders to keep the ::atng
at any set depth. It is towed over
side by wire rope which runs from
the ships bows outward. The wire
rope is Intended to pick up the moor
ing ropes of mines and slide them
along tin they reach the nose Of the
inside V-shaped slot. The saw cuts
through the mooring rope and allows
the mine to float free, where it can be
either avoided or destroyed.
Due to the cable and fin arrange

Ing a remarkable record until his story
came out one day after chance meet
ing with the colonel in charge of the
base hospital to which he was taken
from the front. And this is how 1t
happened:
A Red Cross searcher hearing OF

wounds who had just been brought
into Base Hospital No. 35. hurried to
his bedside with fruit and an offer

the five bayonet wounds which healed
so rapidly that all the doctors of the
hospital marveled at the remarkable
constitution of the dark-skinned man.
The patient was soon convalescent.
and the first place he visited was the
Red Cross recreation hut. Some one
was playing the piano, as usual. and
during the afternoon one Of the MEM
hers of the sanitary corps sang one OF
Burley's negro songs. Deep River"
Philipo offered to sing the song in the
original and astounded his audience
with a weird version full Of minor
notes and harmonies that made shiv-
ers run up and down susceptible
backs.
And thereafter the Filipino insisted
on entertaining gatherings in the rec
reation hut each afternoon with wild
songs and curious chants and recita-
tons. Some of these were very spicy
tales indeed of the underworld and Its
| denizens, and finally the Moro waxed
confidential and began telling tales
Of the wilds of the Philippine Islands
and the days when he had hunted

The colonel OF the hospital, attract

dropped in one afternoon to listen.
II don't believe he's Moro at all"

| in the Philippines and never saw but
two Moros as tall as that man."
Just then the Filipino came up and
saluted the colonel.

English. "Perhaps you remember me?
I know you in the Philippine Islands"
