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.

Besides Lufbery and Didier Masson, who Is In his second year as a French aviator, the “veteraciu” of the esca- drllle are Dudley Hill, with four months’ service; Puul Pnvelka, Robert Rockwell and Frederick Prince, Jr., Norman’s brother, with six weeks; and Willis IlanUnnd and Robert Soubirant, with one month. Yet In the sobriety 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 lo lust?” one hears them Inquire now adays. They never asked that question at Bnr-Ie-Duc, hut then It’s a long way froip Verdun to the Somme.” TO BE RED CROSS NURSE Miss Muriel Oakes, one of the most popular young ladles in Now York so ciety, Is going to France to serve as a Red Cross nurse. Miss Oakes thinks that all young women who are not otherwise occupied and who can ar range to do so, should tube advantage of Hie opportunity to serve humanily.

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. Fig Gems.
