Lunch Sentiment.

1t is fashionable these days to dis.
count the "little red schoolhouse" and
remind sentimental political orators
who wish to defend 1t and other tradi-
tons with state constabulary, that
1t was the wOrkroom of an overworked
teacher. But the "carry your own
lunch movement" which follows some
years of proper hot lunch" In our
schools and offices. does bring the old
days back when the last half-hour be-
fore noon was sQuirming, anxious
wait before Johnny and Bobbie could
examine their little tin boxes and swap
apples and pears and thick cheese
sandwiches. and boast about their
mothers cakes. Those were the days
when hard-boiled eggs cost 2 cents,
instead of 10, and the doughnut and
the cookie were not stereotyped bakery
products but the treasure of home jars
on the topmost pantry shelf. Those
were the days!

Poilu to Keep His "KepI."

Some months ago stalwarts of the
old French army were grieved to
learn that the kept was to go the way
Of the red trousers, Its place being
taken by a steel helmet for parade
occasions and soft bonnet for I'M
dress uniform. The decree was al
ways unpopular, since the kep., in adj

is immemorably associated with the
glory of French arms.
Nov. however, the minister at war
answers a deputy in the Journal Of
ficiel by stating that a return to the
kept Is actually under consideration.

A hair-raising demonstration of the
efficacy of a new aircraft .fireproof-

City. N. j., few weeks ago by two
American airmen, late of the Lafay-
cite Escadrille, reports Popular Me-
chanics magazine, In an illustrated
article. Each of the men first donned
a special flying suit and metal helmet,
both of which had been painted with
the compound. Mechanics then
sprayed each with gasoline. Mean
while the plane, which also had been
painted with the preparation, was SIM
ilarly drenched with gasoline. Pilot
and passenger climbed into their cock
pits. AS the engine was started q
torch was applied to airmen and air.

drome, like a flaming, smoking comet,
the plane rose into the air and for
five minutes Mortified the spectators.
AT the end of this time the flames
had died out and the plane was
brought to earth. Careful inspection
having been made, airmen and air
plane were found to be unframed ex.
