"HUNTING THE HUN" ON TOP OF A NEW YORK SKYSCRAPER
Within a few hours after he has volunteered, the rookie gathered in by the British-Canadian recruiting mission
begins his tralnlug, in New York this being done on the roof of a skyscraper. The illustration shows recruits
getting an idea of what warfare is like.
WHAT CAUSED HER SURPRISE
Would Almost Seem That This Woman
Had Idea Sailors Never Washed
Their Uniforms.
The waiting room of the Long Island
railroad side of the Pennsylvania ter
minal was not even crowded the other
afternoon when four fashionably
gowned women, two of them carrying
large knitting bags, entered from the
train njatforni. The woman who was
burdened with the largest bag immedi
ately led the way toward a bench
where an American seaman In the uni
form of the navy sat reading a book.
Without warning the women took seats
on either side of him and besieged him
with questions.
"I am so Interested In you sailor
boys," said the leader emphasizing the
"so."
"We're eo interested," corrected the
youngest of the four.
"My," said the third and apparently
next youngest, "you've been In the navy
four years. I can tell It by the stripes
on your sleeves. Have you been to sea
much?"
The man grinnejJ. "Quite a bit," he
answered.
Then followed a volley of questions
that would have bewildered an oracle.
The seaman was asked about the coast
of Africa and the cost of tobacco, the
climate In Brazil and the storms on the
Atlantic.
| Finally the owner of the largest and
heaviest knitting bag made herself
heard above the others.
"Ain't you a third-class gunner?"
she asked.
"Uh-huh," was the answer.
"And do you tell me that you've been
In the navy for four years?" was the
next question.
"Uh-huh." said the seaman.
"Four long years," she commented,
"and my, how clean your uniform Is."
The seaman when last seen was a
passenger on a train. He was holding
his head—New York Times.
We have no logical right to think
that our flying machines of today are
more than the crudest caricatures of
the airplanes of the future, says a
writer In the Scientific American. We
engineers are a little apt to become so
engrossed In our Immediate difficulties
of design that we do not see further
ahead than is suggested by our own
Ideas and make predictions for the
future that only follow along the lines
of progress that we can clearly see.
The writer has often been asked if
he thinks that flying will ever become
an ordinary means of travel. His
answer Is that he does not think, but
that he knows It will become so. Ten
years ago to attempt to fly from place
to place was considered suicide; five
years ago It was an adventure; today
to many of us It Is a very ordinary
affair. A few years more and we shall
laugh to think of the airplanes of
which we are now so proud. We shtfll
shudder at the risks we ran and we
shall travel with comfort, speed and
safety.
Sees Whale as Popular Food.
But the whale has overcome the pre
judice against hiin, dating, no doubt,
from the day Jonah first told his story.
Admiral Peary is heart and soul for
the whale. He says: "There will be an
Intense practical advantage to this
movement if we can ever get the
American people to substitute whale
meat for beef, mutton and pork. It
can be kept Indefinitely in tin caus the
way they are now putting It up for the
market. There have long been such
canneries on the coasl of Labrador,
and there used to be some on the New
foundland coast, but the Newfoundland
canneries have gone out of business,
being unable to compete with the
Labrador plants, which get the whales
at less cost"

Aviator's Lingo.
The air service, like most special
branches, has its own vocabulary. An
officer of Hying status, but who for
some reason does not fly, Is called a
"penguin." This name Is also applied
to a type of training machine which
does not rise from the ground. An
officer in the flying service without fly
ing status Is called a "kiwi" after an
Australian bird. A pilot Is generally
called a "quirk." A flight Is called a
"flip." and If It Is a distinguished fail
ure It Is called a "washout." An air
plane is usually called a "bus." The
great hope of the alnnan is to "spike
bozzle," or bring down a "Zi'pp," or one
of the smaller nonrigid dirigibles
they call "blimps." The airman's pest
is the "onion," or large flaming anti
aircraft shell which "Archie" sends up
as a sort of bouquet—with sometimes
an unpleasant smell. "Archie" Is the
general name for the antiaircraft gun.

Vogue of Initials.
That the new vogue of Initials is as
bewildering as a writer In the New
York Statesman suggests is made
abundantly clear by reports of commit
tees dealing with the Prince of Wales'
fund. Those who have been Initiated
Into the mysteries of its administra
tion and are familiar with the termin
ology in use may know that W. C.
does not Indicate the west central dis
trict, but means war committee; that
N. R. F. signifies national relief fund,
and that L. R. C. is meant local rep
resentative committee. But even they
must be baffled by the problem set by
such a procession of Initial^ as G. C.
P. R. P., and fall to guess that what
is suggested by them Is government
committee for the prevention and re
lief of distress.—London Chronicle.
Eagles Historic in the Navy.
When Secretary Daniels christened
Henry Ford's submarine chasers
"Envies" he perpetuated a name that
is historic in the navy. According to
naval records 15 American fighting
ships bearing that name have distin
guished themselves In the Revolution
ary war. the naval war with France,
the War of 1812, the Civil war and
the Spanish war.
"Too Many Old Men"—Lenlne.
A favorite Idea with Lenlne, fre
quently advanced In his Petrograd
career, Is that there are too many old
men In positions of supreme responsi
bility, Current Opinion states. His
most dramatic effect before the coun
cil of soldiers and workers was won
In a crisis on a vote that might have
overthrown him. He bade the dele
gates in thunder tones to look Into the
flrst mirror they saw. The faces re
flected would be those of young men.
What, on the other hand, would be the
color of the hair of the rulers opposed
lo the great social revolution? Gray.
The revolution Is youth, hope, the fu
ture. Against it are ranged the gray
haired rulers of men without Ideals.
"Will you have an old men's war or a
young men's peace?" The hit was
Immense.
Appreciation.
"now do you like Shakespeare?"
"Oh, I treasure our set of Shake
speare more than any other works we
have," said Mi's. Dubwaite.
"I'm glad to hear you say so."
"Yes. It's really the only set In our
living room that matches the wallpa
per."
All Het Up.
"I could understand when they stop
pod me from cusslug mules."
"Well?"
"But I started to cuss a tractor the
other day and got called down for that
Now has a iractor any feelings? Ans
wer me that."
He Hoped Not.
Edwin R. Hisey, the undertaker, and
C. L. Dletz, the broker, are brother
Rotarlans. One stormy day recently
Hisey. while returning from Crown
Hill with his motor hearse, saw Dietz
standing on a corner 'way up Meridian
street. Hisey stopped the hearse and
shouted to Dietz:
"Going down. Lew?"
Dletz stared at his hospitable
friend and replied:

"Found Money"
"It's just as if I found 90c," said many people as they cashed
their Liberty Bond Interest Coupons. They've had their first
demonstration of the rewards of saving, of THRIFT. UNCLE
SAM wants to help you get the Thrift Habit—a habit that wiJI
help you through life. He has issued the W. S.S. You can
start with a quarter. 25c buys a Thrift Stamp, 16 Thrift Stamps
plus 13c buys a W.S. S. In 1923 a W. S. S. is worth $5.00 The
interest is at 4 per cent, compounded quarterly. One of the best
and safest investments possible.
