PHRASES HAVE BECOME OLD
Changes Demanded by Modern War
Have by No Means Kept Pace
With Other Matters.
We lack the speed In changing our
phrases that we've shown In changing
the war game. "Over the top" sug
gests parapets and paradoses, fire steps
and traverses, barbed wire and No
Man's Land—the whole rigmarole of
stabilization In ditches. Over the top
now goes for any sort of advance,
charging across wheat fields or deploy
ing through thickets.
"It's a hand grenade game," they
told use when we landed in France. It
was then, "Forget that rifle stuff," they
said
However, rifles were still being pack
ed around. Nothing else had yet been
Issued on which to fix bayonets. The
Yankees were willing to put some
smoke on the grenades and to try to
cut the plate under Instruction, but
they rebelled against the mental exer
cise of trying to forget how to shoot
A sergeant told me of the report some
of the men brought back who had been
billeted* with the British, the story of
a Tommy who sprinted half across
Flanders dragging his rifle in his le^t
hand and trying to catch up with a
Touted Heinle raider so that he could
hurl a bomb. The sergeant ended up,
"Say, believe mo, remembering how to
shoot has allowed us to forget a lot of
that trench stiilV in short order."—L. S.
Kirkland in Leslie's.
PROFIT SHARING IN FRANCE
Idea Is Mora Widely Held In That
Country Than Any Other Part
of the World.
( Profit sharing Is being widely dls
| cussed In England now. in connection
with the nation's war activities, and
much consideration Is being directed
to experience in France, where it 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 a "public
utility."
In the French profit-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 a fund,
which roes 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 other
forms base the amount given the work
ers on the dividend rate, the amount
of capital, or as a bonus at the dis
cretion of the employer. Certain com
panies are able to share with their
workers any savings they may make
In the cost of producing goods.
Airplane Flares.
The announcement was recently
made by MaJ. Gen. C. C. 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 a bombing plane by pulling a 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 300,000 to
400,000 candle power, which completely
Illuminates the terrain below. The
amount of light given Is equivalent to
that of a battery of from 150 to 175
street arc lamps or from 15,000 to 17,
500 ordinary Incandescent lamp bulbs
such as are used in the home. As soon
as the tlare gets Into operation a huge
parachute, 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.
Buddy Needed It Worse Than Qerman.
Shaving off u week's growth of
beard aud capturing Germans at tie
same time would seem a difficult twit
to most soldiers, but not so with, one
American doughboy who entered a
dugout Just west of Thlaucourt and
found that he had walked Into the
temporary home of a German aolonel
whose retreat to the rear hid been
cut off by the barrage.
The- colonel was taking his dally
share. He was seated on ft stool la
front of a large uiirror, his face cov
ered with lather.
"Xow take that chnlr In the toraer
and let somebody shave who needs It,"
the doughboy commanded.
How It Would Help.
The "patriot" who talked a lot and
did very little was holding forth as
usual.
"I'm thinking seriously of offering
my motorboat to the government," he
brayed.
"Do you mean the boat you had me
out In last summer when the engine
stopped and we had to row tea miles
back.?"' asked his friend.
"Yes, that's the one."
J "Well, if you want to do your coun
try a service," said the friend earnest
ly, "you should have given that boat
to the Germans.

LAST COLD COST YOU?
Figure it up in dollars and cents and see what you lost by
not having a botton of Ballard's Horrhound Cough Syrup at
hand. Had you take that remedy according to the plain printed
directions as soon as the cold is contracted you should not lo»e
a single day's time.
