At the Present Stage There Are rfliree Branches of Aviation, Dif- ' fering in Several Respects.. In an interesting communication to -the National Geographic Society, Cap- tain Andre de Berroeta, of the French aviation service, now on duty with the French Military Mission to America, traces the development of the air- man's duties since the beginning of the world war. "The preparation, conduct and re- sults of an offensive military opera- tion in Europe," says the captain, "bear but a faint resemblance to those of a battle at the opening of °hostili- ties. - "The extraordinarily effective appli- cation of, aircraft to the uses of war. has greatly accelerated this radical transformation. ^ To -day aviation reigns supreme over the field of bat - "There are at the present time three branches., of aviation, which differ in the duties performed, in the machines lased and in the armament provided. Branches of Aviation "These are: "First. The divisional or reconnais- sance aviation, a valuable ally of the staff it serves, of the batteries whose firing it directs, of the infantry it assists in leading during the battle. "Second. The aviation of combat, 'younger' sister of the first and the most faithful ally she has for her protection from the aggressions of hostile airplanes. 'Attack the boche, iotrol hind or compel him to flee,' is its clearly offensive motto. "Third. The aviation of bombard- ment, hitherto chiefly employed in re prisals for the aerial raids of the enemy, but .now called to a much greater and perhaps a decisive role. "Although essentially distinct, these three branches of aviation can only be effectively employed by the con- stant co-ordination of their efforts. "When the war was declared the chief strength of the French. and Ger- man armies lay in the masses of their infantry, in the power of their artil- lery and in the skill of their cavalry. However, it seemed the part of wis- dom to put the few hundred airplanes we possessed at the service of the fighting forces, in order to facilitate the success of their undertakings. The offensive strength of. both the French and German squadrons was very small in comparison, with the millions of combatants ready to clash with each other, supported by the fire of several thousand cannon. "But these airplanes possessed the power of exploring the field of battle to an extent far, beyond -that of the cavalry, for which this delicate and dangerous duty had hitherto been re- served. To them, accordingly, from. the beginning of the war was intrust - eel the observation of the movements of the hostile armies. increased. Services. "During the whole period termed the `war of movement'—that is to say until the battle of the Marne ---the French commanders were kept Promptly informed of the movements of the • Ge 'man forces, thanks to the airplane r connaissances of our pilots, who, accompanied by' staff officers, made flights far within the lines of the enemy and at a low altitude in the rear of hostile forces, The aviation of reconnaissances was thus created. "The number of aircraft in use was so small that .a hostile airplane was. rarely encountered in the course of these reconnoitring expeditions If adversaries did chance• to meet, all the pilots could do was to shake their fists at each other or discharge their revolvers without the slightest chance of hitting, It was, however, from these gestures that aerial combat took its birth, the history of which will re- main as one of the most brilliant epics of the present war. "Taking advantage of their excur- sions within the lines of the' enemy, the pilots carried with them a few ar- tillery projectiles, which they dropped on hostile assemblages,`camps or col- umns. Such was the beginning of aerial bombardment. ' a: r The Program owad:e ys Is to Salve ! Grape -Nuts food fits in fine with this idea.

Johnny, Get Your Hoe. Mr. A. Barnstead, organizing secre- tary of the National Committee on Food Resources of Nova Scotia, has sent the following, which was compos- ed by Mr. George E.

How thoroughly the royal family is at one with the people in the present situation has been shown by the King's informal visit to the battle front and by the Prince of Wales' re- turn to duty before the expiration of his recent leave. Since his return his Majesty and the Queen have been busy visiting munition factories and equipment works. At a factory at Walthamstow the Queen, as ever, was chiefly- interest- ed in the girl and women workers, among whom she mingled with her usual cheery smile, chatting, most' of sults will surprise you. the time—when not passing a few Increased Acreage in West. Ample evidence that the farmers in the great grain growing areas be- tween the Great Lakes and the.

I is pointed out that the late fall in1917 and the early spring of this year have compensated largely; for any shortage in farm labor at this critical time. Recent reports to the Canadian Northern indicated that the new breaking along its lines would be between three-quarters of a million'„ and "a million acres, and that sufficient fall ploughing had been done' to farili- tate early operations this year The report just in frons 235 points, shows that up to the week ending April 17th, there was pronounced activity throughout all districts served by the lines of the Canadian Northern in the west. The condition of the ground was given as good, there being not a single coMplaint in respect to the state of the soil. 1 qt ANY CORN LFT OUT, q1 DOESN'T HURT A EITI No foolishness: Lift your corns and calluses off with fingers --It's like ,magic! , ta---.O—pyo-^-f.1--0...-U :..�-p,—p.y..O�..p--•6,-.-tC Sore corns, hartd, corns, soft corns or any kind of a cot•n,ean harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a C'ineinnati authority, Fo, little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one's feet of every corn, or callus without pain.

The Queen, impressed by the ap- pearance of the girls, remarked to Mrs. Phipps they seemed to be girls of a very superior type, when one of the conducting party remarked, "Yes, your Majesty, we are sortie stunt on these girls." The Queen looked puzzled, not un- derstanding the slang, but quietly laughed with pleasure when it was explained that what the official meant was that their experience in the em- ployment of femalelabor had been altogether satisfactory. Queen Alexandra has been busy, too, visiting factories with Princess Victoria, throwing out a useful word or two of advice as it occurred to her practical mind. In one shop she saw a girl wielding a hammer and punch- ing identification marks on a shell, She thought this must be very heavy work for a girl, but to ; the Queen's inquiry the girl smilingly l.e plied it was quite simple now she had grown accustomed to it. Accepting an levitation to try for herself, Queen Alexandra held the punch in position with one hand, and with the other hit aseries of hard blows, but on ex- amining , the marking feared that they came far short of the standard.
