Protein is necessary for building all bodily tissues, therefore it is a neces- sary food constituent. It is also' the most expensive in the food groups. Carbohydrates are the starches and sugars. Cellulose, which also belongs to this group, is valuable to the body for its bulk and digestive properties, but it has no food value. Fats are found in various propor- tions in different grains.

Credited With Haying Shot Down Fifty-three German Airplanes ` and More Than Eighty Pilots. - Capt, George Guynemer, the famous Frendui aviator, who is supposed . to Wave lost his life in a contest with the enemy on September 17th, is credited in aviation records with having_ shot down fifty-three German airplanes ins side the German lines and with having destroyed at least twenty-five more that were uncounted. He was one of the youngest men of his rank in the French army, having been. -promoted by President Poincare in February last at the age of twenty-two. At the beginning of the war Guynemer was under age. He tried five times unsuccessfully to get into the army nd finally had to literally break his way into the Aviation Corps. The in- fantry refused him because he was under weight for his height and the Flying Corps rejected him because the examining surgeon considered that he was too nervous. Finally, through the influence of a friend of his family who was in charge of an aviation school he was allowed to Learn to fly. Ile astonished his instructors by his rapid progress and, coolness and won a flying license, after which the Avia- tion Corps -accepted him. An "Ace" Last Year. Guynemer became an "ace" -in the French Aviation Corps in August, 1916, and soon thereafter surpassed the record of Sub -Lieutenant Jean Navarre, who up to that time led with twelve German machines to his cre- dit. In the _meantime Guynemer had received two bullets ,in the arm at Ver- dun. In 1916 the Academy of Sports awarded the young aviator a 10,000 franc prize for "the best sporting event of the year.", At the end of the same year, with his Captain stripes, he received the Cross of the Legion of Honor. Captain Guynemer's greatest day's work was on May 17 of this year, when he brought down four German wa- hines, two of which he accounted for n the space ,of .two minutes, having attacked a group of four. With only hree cartridges left - while on his lomewar•d flight, he encountered the ourth German and shot him down with one of the three remaining cart- idges. One of the two victims he hot down on August 4 last was Lieut. Hohendorf, a German aviator, who flew for a French airplane company efore the war and who had shot down welve French machines, -- - The fifty-three German machines fficially credited to Captain Guy-, emer's record were worth something ore than 1,500,000 francs.' Some of them were manned by two or three j men, and it is estimated that he it, to cover the tub. Also Beep the tub filled with brine. Salting Corn For Winter Use. Use a lard or butter tub. Cleanser thoroughly,ond scald with boiling wa- I s ter. Rinse in cold water and place in the! sun to dry. Now place six inches of salt in the bottom. Select good sound b ears of corn and place them in the salt, t taking care that they do not touch.) Cover with salt. Repeat this opera - o tion until the tub is full. Place a cov- n er on top of, or, failing this, coverlet with two layers of cotton batting ands then with a newspaper and finally with oilcloth. Do not remove the r husk or the silk from the corn, This can be used late in winter and will keep.- The secret is to have each ear of corn entirely surrounded by salt, taking 'care that the ears do not touch each other. ORIGIN OF HALOii+ Painters Used Them Long Before the Birth of Christ. Saints, in pictures, are usually rep- resented with halos. Angels like- wise. Why? Ask the next mareyou moot, and you will find him guessing at the reason. Most people suppose that halos were not worn until within the last 1000 years or so. But that isn't trot, Roman emperors and even consuls were pictured with halos long before the birth of Christ. And, if history tells of them truly, they were neither saints nor anf;els. The halo was originally a pagan symbol of newer, Thus it not so very surprising tcs find Satan repres- ented,in medieval paintings, with a halo.

Guynemer's last fight is described by a comrade, who is quoted by The Excelsior, as follows; . "Guynemer sighted five machines of -the Albatross type D3, Without hesitation he bore down on them. At that moment ,enemy patrolling ma- chines, soaring at a great height, ap- peared suddenly and fell upon Guy- nemer, "There were forty enemy machines in the , air at this time, including Count' -von Richthofen rand his circus division of machines, painted in diag- bnal blue, and white stripes. Towards Ggynemer's right -some Belgian ma- chines hove in sight, *rut it was too late. "Guynemer must have been hit. His machine dropped gently towards the earth and I lost track of it. All that I can say is that the machine was not on fire." THE FIRST HEADLIGHT Nature of This Phosphorescent Light Still Unknown to Science. The first headlight was carried not by a locomotive, but by a winged in- sect—the lantern fly. Nobody knows just why the lantern fly carries a lantern. Very likely it is for the purpose of notifying insects of like species and opposite sex of its whereabouts. But the contrivance is wholly unique of its kind. The front part of the lan- tern fly's head is extended in such a way as a to form holloiv, bulbous structure that (in a dead -and -dried specimen) has a paperlike consistency, When the insect flies at night the papery bulb is illuminated, By what?

Under normal circumstances they cap tell his height to a few feet, and will show you, too, that they know it ' by the way they send up bursts of "Archie" -(anti-aircraft gun). Indeed, no matter whether you eross the lines one day at 8,000 feet and another at 10,000 feet and another at 14,000 feet, so sure as you get within range there are the six slowly widening rings of smoke at your level—a few feet ahead or behind or all around you, Hun "Arehies" are generally grouped in - sixes; and though' their chief object. is barrage and annoyance, men have • been brought down by "sighters" and by direct hits at 15;000. feet from one of those fatal sixes. The "Archie" gunner judges height by measuring the apparent size of the machine's wings as it flies above. He knows every machine at a glance at 10,000 yards distance and farther,' He gel's plenty of practice. Ile knows the measurements of every machine and its speed and can allow for it. The Hun "Archie" gunner has reason to be peculiarly efficient --he gets so much practice, . To know how to upset all the fine - calculations is the, whole art of elud- ing "Archie," Every Trick Known to the Trade. One way is to alter the apparent size of your wings or to change your , speed or vary your height, and dodge hither and thither, no matter how many other things you may have to do at the same time,. You can alter your apparent size by flying "one wing dowu" and so giving a shorter view of your machine. You can "switchback" up and down a couple of hundred feet at a time and so •vary your speed, too. You can paint in ad- vance, a dark band beneath the tips of your wings—and hope for the best. Or you can suddenly "stall" your ma- chine—that is, hold it up and throttle the engine down for a few moments, opening out again before you start to fall. This will make the next few shots go well ahead. Then you can sile=slip a little—not too much, or you will be losing valuable height. A pilot one day who underwent the horrible experience of being hemmed in by "Arehies" almost exhausted every trick before he got away. He was flying along when suddenly the fatal bursts appeared just ahead. This was only normal. He side -slipped a little and "carried on." But imme- diately there were the bursts just ahead again and .a little closer. He had hardly turned off again when there they were, a fresh lot, just behind his tail, sending him bumping and diving all over the place. They had got his range to a hair. .✓ He "stalled" and turnedoff at sight 'angles to the left—and there were the bursts all round him again and the sharp sting of a wound in his cheek. Deserved to Succeed. Things were getting bad, He doubled round quickly and made a sadden dive—and there were the bursts all round him once more. He "stalled," put one wing down and side -slipped down 300 feet. Scarcely had he "flattened out" again when one more group burst round him. All the time blood was pouringdown his face. As a last resort he "played hit." - He put the other wing right down and side -slipped sheer 800 feet. This e turned into a "spinning nose dive" nd came out 8,000 feet lower. Then e flattened out and., dived for our nes. ' For those few moments Archie"- was fooled. Directly' after - and they were at him again. But he as out of range and got away. "Archie" is "the very devil"—where he gunners get plenty of practice! How to Tell Age 61 a Fish. Could you tell the age of a fish if creed to do so? It has been found that the age of a cif may read from its scales. These nerease in size by annular growths, ' two rings •being formed each year. he "otoliths," or ear stenos, which e in two sacs on either side of the ase of the cranial cavity, afford anoth- r means of determination. Like the scales, the otoliths increase y two rings annually. Each spring white ring is formed and edcb itumn a black one. Thus the main- s of either white or black rings in otolith gives the age of the fish in as4. In the case of flatfish the rat ✓ method has been found more re - able, whereas in the can of the cod e scales give a better result, Al - °ugh varying much in size and shape different species, the otoliths show remarkably constancy in the same cries; hence they are of consider - le value in the diagno0je of a h a 'moi li 2 and 51b, Cartons-,. 10,, 20, 50 and 100 lb.
