A ''Phantom arts
Was Frances Scheme
ToDodge Hun Planes

The strangest as we'll as the most
elaborate example Of camouflage
which the world war produced has
been revealed in Paris. There was
a plan to construct a phantom Paris
on a spot many miles from the capt.
tai to deceive German aviators and
to attract the bombs. The scheme
was about to be carried out when
the armistice made it no longer nee
essary.
The plan was drawn up under the
q direction of M. Dusmenil, assistant
minister of aeronautics, and staff
of army air corps men,. 1t was to
consist of wooden buildings lighted
up by night to resemble sections Of
Paris most likely to be chosen by
In order to simulate the appear-
ance of Paris from the air it was
necessary to utilize a bend of the
Seine like that which crosses the
capital, but located in a sparsely in
habited section, miles from the real
Paris. Imitation factories, railroad
stations and hospitals were to be
built as these places were the favor
ite targets for German bombers. The
buildings were only ten meters in
height and covered with painted can
vas to resemble the glass roofs OF
stations and factories.
The lamps were in double line
so that the electricians could simu-
late full or reduce lighting, it being
the plan of the inventors to draw
the attention Of the aviators by
sufficient light, but not to awaken
their suSpicionS.-Grit.

Tallest Potato Vine
So Far Recorded
Measures 102 Inches

SEATTLE.-The worlds longest
potato vines are exhibited by Allen
J. Hoar, a newspaper man, who
claims that the eight and a half
feet attained by a cluster of vines
in his garden is one foot ahead of
any previous record
A southern clergyman produced a
seven-and-a-half foot plant during
the summer and the news of Hoar's
achievement will ruin this minister's
conviction that he holds a unique
eminence among potato growers.
Mr.. Hoar admits, however, that his
elongated vines are the result of at-
cident. Seed of the Snow Flake
variety of potato took root in a pen
where some pet jackra bbits were
confined.
Everybody knows" said Tfoar,
the reputation of the packrabbit for
speed and long distance running"
The potato plant in the rabbit pen
was too busy extending itself to
produce much in the way Of potatoes,

Island Has Seaplanes
But No Automobiles
Or Even a Carriage

Inhabitants Of Tangier Island. Vir-
ginia. are awakening to the require
ments of the times and have just
purchased five seaplanes. Acquisl-
ton Of so many planes by a COM
munity Of only 1900 inhabitants
must seem extraordinary when it is
disclosed that there is neither an
automobile nor a carriage of any
kind on the island. The islands
main street is only eight feet wide,
and most of the traffic is handled
in wheelbarrows.
Many of the older inhabitants have
never left the islands shore Auto
mobiles, steam cars and trolley cars
are unknown to them. There is but
one physician on the island, situated
in Chesapeake bay, and the seaplanes
will be used among other purposes
to procure outside medical help in
case of emergency.
That the residents will not toler-
ate inquisitive interference in their
affairs was manifested a short time
ago when a moving picture operator
was driven away and his machine
smashed when he attempted to take
pictures. The operators visit fol-
