The "Master of the Skies.”
The next man down was Guynemer—
Lieut. Georges Guynemer, holder of the
Legion of Honor, the Military medal
nrul the Croix do Guerre with 14 palms,
he who, since the German Boelke’s
death, Is undisputed master of the
skies. Even before I saw the famous
"Vleux Charles” Inscription on the
cockpit of the little Nleuport I know
it wus Guynemer, tyom the throng of
aviators and mechanicians gathered
about the machine. There was some
thing Impressive about the silent way
they watched this stripling rise up out
of his seat and clamber to the ground.
Even before removing Ids goggles and
helmet, Guynemer pointed out to Ids
mechanicians what must be done to
the plane—the cavalier thinking first
of his steed. v
When his flying dollies had been
taken off he turned with a smile to the
group of airmen waiting to hear, as
they always do when Guynemer re
turns, what he had to say. One would
fancy that having . seen 22 focmen
tumble earthward under the lightning
of Ills machine gun, # ho would have be
come a bit blase about It. But Guyne-
mor Is a great artist, and great artists
are never blase about their art.
A casual question from one of Ills
comrades started him off on an Odys
sey of the skies that fairly rang with
unconscious poetry. What he had to
tell was no more Important than Luf-
liery’s laconic report; the way he told
It was like ChennI singing the “Mar
seillaise.” All the Celt and all the
artist In Ids mnkc-up rushed to the
surface. His eyes flashed, Ids hands
shot out in nervous, expressive ges
tures, his whole slim body seemed to
vibrate with dilution. Ills listeners,
being Frenchmen, were enthralled. One
realized why this boy of twenty-one Is
the adored of ail France.
“What’s he so excited about?” nsked
one of the Americans, whose knowl
edge of French and Guynemer Is Im
perfect. “He must have brought down
about ten today to go on like that.”
From Verdun to Picardy.
Without attempting to pass upon the
merits or demerits of the various racial
characteristics oullined above, I
say that the Americans haye won. 1
themselves a .nerJVeLy
the su'ii of allied aviation. The
of It is their having been shifted "f
luxurious establishments at lflTr-le-
mul Luxeuil to leaky cabins amid
eternal mud of this field In IMcordy.
Tested in the blazing fiiruv.e of Ver
dun, they were not found wanting. So
now they are privileged to share with
France’s aerial aristocracy the hard
ships and glories of the greatest battle
of them all.
Their quarters are a long, shedlike
structure, into which wind mid rain
outer without knocking. Each pilot
has a cubbyhole the size of u Pullman
drawing room, but wholly devoid of
Pullman comforts, partitioned off as a
bedroom. The bed is a camp cot.
There is no head except that grudg
ingly dispensed by a small stove in
the common wessroom, an apartment
resembling the least desirable dwell
ing in the most primitive of lumber
camps. -There is electric light, but for
Inscrutable military reasons It Is
switched off promptly at ten every
night—“just when you’re In the middle
of the most exciting chapter,” as Ser
geant Dudley Hill put it.
There are two forms of recreation—
a phonograph and “Whisky.” The lat
ter, Indeed, is a tonic without which
the Americans’ existence would be
come drab and doleful. For the cen
sor’s sake let me hasten to explain
that “Whisky,” being animal and uot
vegetable, cheers but does not inebri
ate. He is, in fact, a lion, the esea-
drille’s pride and joy. Therefore he
permitted to growl ubout Somme
discomforts, which the pilots them
selves uever do. When the weather
is particularly vile and tilings in gen
eral look parfjculurly blue, somebody
twists "Whisky’s” tail, and he does the
growling for everybody.
Temper Gets Shorter.
•quently his temper is getting
every duy and ills teeth longer,
he will soon be sufficiently ma
ts the distillers say, to fulfill
luted destiny, which consists

and deposited there.

Besides Lufbery and Didier Masson,

of their point of view these fledglings,
despite their inexperience, differ little
from the war-scarred “Old Guard.”
Skylarking Days Past.
A different aspect has come over the
cscadrllle. Its skylarking days are
past. Its members have gained a very
comprehensive understanding of what
they are up against. They fly when
It’s their turn to fly, and sometimes
when It Isn’t, If circumstances seem
to require it. They hunt down the
enemy ns resolutely ns ever, but they
do so* because it’s their business to,
and not for amusement. They take no
unnecessary chances, and their profes
sional enthusiasm lacks the devil-may-
care quality of the early days. They
find no more enjoyment In their work
than an Infantryman does In a bayonet
attack, but they go through with It
gallantly and well.
“How long Is this d n war going

adays.
They never asked that question at

PLAN TO STOP AUTO THEFTS
Georgia Congressman Claims He Ha*
Found Practical Solution
of Problem.
Atlanta, Ga.—Automobile thefts in
the larger cities have reached such
alarming proportions tlmt many plans
have been conceived by various auto
owners for breaking up the practice.
Georgia claims a most practical solu
tion, submitted by Congressman Wil
liam Schley Howard of Atlanta.
Mr. Howard’s idea is to have the
license laws require a duplicate li
cense tag to be carried by the owner.
This is to be shown on dtumuid to
any otlieer of the law.
Mr. Howard suggests that each city
detail one or more plain clothes men
to this sppcial work. Any man start
ing a car could be askefi to show his
Identification tag. Tills demand would
cause no embarrassment or resentment
on the part of the owner, in Mr. How
ard’s opinion, but would make it Im
possible for a thief to get away with a
ear without the necessary tag.
Promises Odorless Onion.
Chicngo.—The odorless onion will
soon be given to the world, according
to various delegates to the ninth an
nual convention of the Vegetable
Growers’ association of America. “It
will be an onion that anyone can eat
and still go abroad among one’s
friends,” declared a local dealer. “It
will be a tearless onion, too. Its popu
larity will soon approach that of the
strawberry und the watermelon.”
TO CHEAPEN LIVING COST
Advice About the Best Kinds of Food*
That Should Be Selected and
Prepared.
A bulletin published by the New
York department of health suggests
a number of changes in diet by which
money can be saved without sacrificing
nutriment.
“Cereals, such as cornmeal, hominy,
and especially oatmeal,” the bulletin
says, “are rich In nourishment, and are
much cheaper than patented cereals.
“American cheese, dried beans, and
peas are comparatively cheap, and con
tain a great deal of protein, which is
the most Important food element found
In meat.
“Oleomargarine is a very satisfac
tory and economical substitute for hut-'
lor. Unfortunately, Its use In public
Institutions Is prohibited by law.
“Rice Is very cheup food and cun he
served in many different styles. It
should he used more frequently than It
is In the dietary of those of moderate
means. It contains a very high per
centage of carbohydrates, one of the
very necessary forms of nourishment.
Everyone knows how extensively It Is
used among the peoples of Asia, where
it has served ns the chief urtlcle of
diet from time Immemorial.
“It should not be necessary to state
Hint bread, preferably of whole wheat,
a form which-is rich in very important
food elements called ‘vitumlnes,* also
sugar and potatoes, should occupy
prominent places In the dietary of the
working man and woman.
“There are many other cheap food
stuffs, a notable one being macaroni
and cheese. When these are used
judiciously, they serve to lessen the
cost of the dietary without in any way
Impairing its food value.
ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need Not
Put In So Much Time Wash
ing Dishes.
“The careful housekeeper will al
ways resent the suggestion that once a
day is often enough to wash dishes,”
writes Dr. 11. Barnard in “Table Talk”
in tlie National Food Magazine. “She
cannot train herself to allow soiled
plates and silverware to stack up from
one meal to the next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
of shiftless, slovenly housekeep
ing. As a matter of fact, along with
many other notions which are fixed in
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two of the three dally dish-washing
Jobs.”
Doctor Barnard goes bn to recite
the experience of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of dishwashing. One week she
washed dishes three tlmfrVj^ u *»y; the
4^oxt \yeek slje day’s
dishes altogether. She used the same
number of dishes each day in both
ks. She found that it took her
51 minutes a day to wash after each
meal and 41 minutes a day to wash
them once a day.
This took account only of time, luit
there was a considerable additional
ing In gas or fuel consumed by
ling water once Instead of thrice a
•, to say nothing of the saving in
soap.

use daily.

MORE GOOD DISHES.
Dates as nutritious food are not well
appreciated; they have more heat units
pound for pound than
beef and cost much less.
Oatmeal Date Cookies.
—Take two cupfuls of
oatmeal, a cupful of
shortening, two cupfuls
of brown sugar, a half
cupful of water and a
teaspoonful of soda;
flour to make a soft

ah possible and cut with
a cooky cutter. Put two cookies to
gether with tills filling before baking:
One pound of dates, chopped, two ta-
blespoonfuls of sugar and a little hot

tity of the dressing over tlie potatoes
