FORECASTS HUGE
BATTLES IN AIR
General Squier, Chief of Army
Signal Corps, Asks $600,000
of Congress For Equipment.
Washington.—Air battles on a vastly
greater scale than yet heard of in the
war and in which American aviators
will figure were forecasted today by
General George Owen Squier, chief of
the army signal corps and Howard
Coffin, andman of the air craft pro
duction board of the council of na
tional defense.
“Droves of American airplanes
sweeping the Germans from the sky
raiding and destroying their military
camps and inflicting frightful destruc
tion on the enemy” was the hope ex
pressed by General Squier In making
his request for $600,000 from congress
for aeroplanes and equipment.
“Germany expects to bring 3,500
aeroplanes into the fighting next
spring,” Coffin declared, quoting a
Paris dispatch. "This might well prove
discouraging to the allies," said Cof
fin. “We should furnish them the
necessary number of airmen to drive
all hostile machines to the ground
and carry out the bombing as well as
the observation work unhindered.
For 50 Miles Back.
"Our plan contemplates maintain
ing a constant raiding patrol over the
territory for fifty miles back of the
fighting lines. If we build the quan
tities of machines for which we have
the capacity and train our thousands
of available men we can tear up the
enemy communication lines and pre
vent movements of troops and sup
plies.
"The allied experts say that it takes
eight hours to repair tthe damages to
a rallrpad by one bomb. The allies so
far have not been able to develop the
use of bombing machines to the need
ed extent because they could not se
cure enough air planes to carry out
this work upon a great scale. If suf
ficient quantities of airplanes can be
placed in the field, the German com
munication lines can be made and
kept a constant scene of desolation.
General Squier stated that aviation
appealed to the imagination of the
American youths.
“We are willing to send out hun
dreds of thousands to the front if ne
cessary to dig. holes and burrow in the
soil for interminable months,” said
Squiers, “but we don’t enthuse over
the idea.”

friend Tyrus Raymond Cobb is setting
the pace this week for American
League batters. There is Speaker, who
dethroned the Georgian last year, is
in second place.
"Babe” Ruth, of Boston, too is a
sticker, but he is a pitcher and does
his hitting on scarce occasions and
doesn’t count much. Ruth is hitting
415, Cobb 353 and Speaker 350.
Other American Leaguers in the se
lect class are Rumler, St. Louis; Rus
sell, Chicago; Mclnnis, Philadelphia;
Hister, St. Louis; Wambsgans, Cleve
land, and Veach, Detroit.
George Burns, New York, still is the
real leader in the National League, al
though three players have averages
that are higher. Burns is hitting 393.
Hendrix, Chicago, heads the list with
375. Tom Clark, Cincinnati, has a mark
of 386, and Griffith 347.
Other National League hitters in the
300 class are Rousch, Cincinnati;
Cruise, St. Louis; J. Smith, St. Louis;
Fischer, Pittsburg; Rawlings, Boston;
Reuster, Chicago; Kauff. New York;
Grimes, Pittsburg; Hornsby. St. Louis;
Wheat, Brogkln: Groh. Cincinntti;
Zimmerman, New York; Whitted,
Philadelphia.
Williams, Chicago, with five victories
and no defeats, tops the American

NUMBER FIVE—SAVING FOR THE NEW HOME.
Of course nobody ever wants to be always living in a rented home
and Bride-to-be has skillfully got Hubby-to-be to see that saving for a
home is a mighty fine thing to begin doing right away.
So he’s wearing a path to the bank, learning that the best way to
save a dollar is never to break it.
He’s getting so he likes the idea of going to the- bank, too, getting a
feeling of solidness and importance as the little account climbs up.
SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS
JUDGE HAMMOND’S RULING
Mrs. Mariah T. Haynle has won an
other victory against the Great Eastern
Casualty Company. This time in the
supreme court. The litigation is over a
$6,000 accident policy held in the com
pany by Mrs. Haynie’s late husband, Mr.
Newton R. Haynie. The case has been
in the courts since the fall of 1913. Mrs.
Haynie was awarded a judgment by
Judge Hammond in the Jenkins county
court. The company removed from Geor
gia and Mrs. Haynie’s counsel entered
suit in New York. The insurance com
pany then Hied a bill in equity in Rich
mond county seeking to have the judg
ment set aside and to have the plaintiff
adjoined from proceeding against the
company in New York state. The com
pany before filing the bill of equity put
up bond in New York to guarantee pay

home. Third—Foods spoiled by care
less cooking. Fourth—Waste in
preparation. Fifth Over-generons
serving of food. It is through these
sources that we wasted last year
y 700,000,000 in American kitchens.
In connection with the over-gener
ous serving of food, it might be well
tp remember also our national vice
of over-eating. Statistics about the
time of the outbreak of the war
showed that Americans ate 172
pounds of meat per capita a year,
while the rest of the world ate 49
pounds per capita. It has been
roughly estimated that over 10 per
cent of our food stuffs has been
wasted by housekeepers.
Benjamin Franklin over 120 years
ago drew up some rules for sensible
eating, wh'ch are especially timely
today. He said:
“Eat and drink such an exact quan
tity as the constitution of thy body
allows of, in reference to the serv
ices of the mind. They that study
much ought not to eat as much as I
ruled in favor of the plaintiff. Judge
Hammond ruled against the bill to set
aside the judgment, and his ruling has
been sustained by the supreme court. It
is not thought that the insurance peo
ple will take the case to the supreme
court of the United States.
SUES FOR $40,000; SHE
‘MAIDED’ LESLIE DOG
New York. —It is worth $40,000 to work
several years as maid to a dog, particu
larly when one has to do the maiding in
public dining cars where coarse persona

Simons of Charleston, S. C. She began

estate for that amount. She related that

The house
wives of
America, upon
whom a grave
patriotic re
s p o n s ibility
rests today,
will find that
waste of food
gen erally
comes from
one of live
causes:
First—Edi
ble food
thrown into
those that work hard, their digestion
being not so good. The measure of
food ought to be (as much as pos
sibly may be) exactly proportional,lo
to the quality and condition of th*
stomach, because the stomach digests
it. That quantity that is sufficient
the stomach can perfectly concoct
and digest, and it sufficeth the due
nourishment of the body. A greater
quantity of some things may be eaten
than of others, some being of lighter
digestion than others. The difficulty
lies in finding out an exact measure;
but eat for necessity, not pleasure;
for lust knows not where necessity
ends. Wouldst thou enjoy a long
life, a healthy body and a vigorous
mind, and be acquainted also with
the wonderful works of God, labor in
the first place to bring thy appetite to
reason.”
The housewife who studies care-j
fully the live sources of waste as
given herewith will find that it is
very easy for her to effect wonderful
economics. And it was economies of
this nature that President Wilson
had in mind when he recently said:
“Let me suggest * * * that every
housewife who practices strict econ
omy puts herself in the ranks of
those who serve the nation. This is
the time for America to correct her
unpardonable fault of wastefulness
and extravagance.”
The housewife finds herself today
face to face with a patriotic duty.
She canhot he a soldier, but she can
serve America in her kitchen by
stopping the leaks and doing her bit
toward the conservation of our food
supply.
A great many years ago William
Shakespeare said, “Thrift is bless
ing.” America is just beginning to
realize this tremendous truth.
I GLORIFY A METHOD OF CHARITY

You all know how very, very friendly

that 1 did not know all about Ethel's

It was a beautiful spring day when l

night and day upon your Vitagraph pic

you until next week. Dome right up."

ticed that she had been sewing on a
pretty, blue child’s frock. “What is that,
Ethel?" 1 asked for we never stand on
ceremony with each other, “Surely its too
big for Baby Dear!"
“Yes, it would never fit Sonny in a
thousand years," she said. “You see l

Bacchus Beamed Upon “Bone Dry” Broad
Street Friday When Auto Gave Up Horde
The "bone dry” bricks that span
Broad Street’s Invisible covering of
mother earth were subjected to an un
usual but nevertheless expensive bath
Friday night about 10 o’clock. The
scene was laid at the corner of Broad
and Jackson, about fifty feet from the
corner or better still almost in front
of the Harlson Building entrance. A
magnificent gallery witnessed the un
usual bath.
It happened unexpectedly and quick -
ly, and the fatal part about it is that
only a few privileged ones witnessed
the entire affair. As usual about 10
p. m. of a night, any night in fact,
quite a number of male personages
were gathered along the streets, sup
porting a Building here, a post there
or holding down the pavement and
curb stones for the city, in various
attitudes of reposeful nonchalance.
The usual night traffic was In prog
ress, nothing much doing, only an oc
casional automobile or hack passing
to relieve the monotony of the street's
north side construction. An auto
mobile approached a touring ear,
nothing unusual about it. With top
down the driver proceeded down the
street at a perfectly permissible rate
of speed, as though out for the even
ing’s airing. He passed Jackson
Street but Just as he arrived opposite
the Harlson Building entrance some

various lounging positions regardless
of the buildings they were supporting
and with one accord started for the
wet looking spot on the bricks. But

“When do you ever find time?" 1 asked,
“Really, don't you think it’s enough to
keep house, care for a baby and make
clothes for both of you? There's some
thing of a busy beaver about you, dear."
Ethel’s charity is of a most simple
kind. Yet l earnestly believe it is as
meritorious as the giving of thousands
of dollars by our country’s millionaires.
Some give purely from a desire, to do
good. I grant you, but other. 1 fear, de

Quietly Ethel goes about her charity.
1 am sure that no one outside of her
borne knows of It, although she has been
at her benevolent labors for the whole
space of her married life.
Into every one's life there comeg an
