It -ferried the Germans across flooded Dutch lowlands and Dump can rivers. It is saving aviators on both sides from fire and from drowning. The facts about the war uses of this gas come from Walter Kiddie NOW York engineer who was one of the pioneers in use of carbon dioxide for fee -fighting. He pouted gasoline into the hold of a derelict ship at London, lighted it and 810110d It out with jets of carbon dioxide before 11 surprised audience. A bottle .about twice the slze of the fancily quart of milk eontahler is attached to folded rubber boats. It is filled with liquefied carbon dioxide which Is carbon dioxide gas under pressure.

This opens a tiny bottle of liquid carbon dioxide which inflates the vest to the volume of a life pre- server. The extremely sinall liquid com- pass into which a huge volume of carbon dioxide will conveniently and safely pack renders it a formidable factor in attack over water. The gas is lightweight, can't be seen, is odor- less and has a very slight sharp taste. In the form of water wings, the carbon dioxide bags are used for land planes which have to fight over water. For Ore -fighting, one of the newest uses is British. Dry ioe (solid carbon dioxide at about 110 degrees below zero) is held ready at traintag fields. When a cadet crash results in a flaming plane, the dry ice brigade, in asbestos sults, rustles up with pro- jectors that send a snowstorm on the plane. The carbon dioxide vaporizing from the dry ice—not the cold—holds back the flames so the cadet may be rescued even it the plane burns, Military planes for some years have had automatic carbon dioxide tire extinguishers in the cockpit and around the engine, Sometimes a dan- gerous engine are Is smothered.

PIGEONS FOR POSTAL SERVICE Four Young Ones Each Carry 35,000 Words on Thin Film Pigeons from the king's loft at Sendrittgbant have been added to a pigeon post organised to operate in the event of a national emergency in Great Britain. The pigeon post was inaugurated In July Iast year by the Dueness of Kent when she visite( Fort Dunlop and released the first flock of pigeons from their baskets. On the eve of the outbreak of war a pair of blue cheeks arrived from Mr. Fe W. Steele, the King's pigeon keeper. They are long distance birds, foul' or live years old, of the stock which has won the big races from Lerwick in Shetland and Bordeaux. To -day they have four young ones less than a month old, all at present being trained by Mr. Harry Collins, a Omelet. who has charge of the loft of fifty birds. Two of the royal birds, all blue checks like their parents. are being trained to fly thirty miles away to the Company's war -time headquar- ters. The other two will make the return journey. "Tiley will do almost a mile a min- ute. except in a side wind,” said Mr. Collins. "They can't fly at night. 1 have never known any homers trained for night flying. They come down to sleep and they will go two days without food." In addition to the pigeon loft at headquarters, lofts are being opened up in other parts of the country for the service, which is the only organ- ized civilian pigeon post in Great Britain. By redneing meesages to facsimile in a special thin film the birds ewe take 35,141)0 words In an aluminum carrier fixed to their legs. Each ,•en• ere has apparatus for reducing the messages and for magnifying thert to 0 readable script when received.

I 'believe in the Red Cross with all my mtight. Perhaps d can speak for both societies iainte I serve 'both. My oldest daughter is mantling 'the Inter- national Red 'Cross Hottee in 'K,wel- yong. Chine, while ncy son-inelasv is in charge of the truck transport of medical supplies into southern 'China during ,the furlough of Dr. ILobert \1cClttre. Both the Red: Cross and the C. have their origin in the sane rheietian idealism that seeks 'to whey the command "'Hear ve one anothers hardens." Elut there .is a difference, The Red Cross is engaged 'thinly in sa0lne life from'phvsi-al damage. Pett the W. is engaged in fighting an evil habit and traffic which destroys spiritual as veli as physical values.

PIGEONS FOR POSTAL SERVICE Four Young Ones Each Carry 35,000 Words on Thin Film Pigeons from the king's loft at Sendrittgbant have been added to a pigeon post organised to operate in the event of a national emergency in Great Britain. The pigeon post was inaugurated In July Iast year by the Dueness of Kent when she visite( Fort Dunlop and released the first flock of pigeons from their baskets. On the eve of the outbreak of war a pair of blue cheeks arrived from Mr. Fe W. Steele, the King's pigeon keeper. They are long distance birds, foul' or live years old, of the stock which has won the big races from Lerwick in Shetland and Bordeaux. To -day they have four young ones less than a month old, all at present being trained by Mr. Harry Collins, a Omelet. who has charge of the loft of fifty birds. Two of the royal birds, all blue checks like their parents. are being trained to fly thirty miles away to the Company's war -time headquar- ters. The other two will make the return journey. "Tiley will do almost a mile a min- ute. except in a side wind,” said Mr. Collins. "They can't fly at night. 1 have never known any homers trained for night flying. They come down to sleep and they will go two days without food." In addition to the pigeon loft at headquarters, lofts are being opened up in other parts of the country for the service, which is the only organ- ized civilian pigeon post in Great Britain. By redneing meesages to facsimile in a special thin film the birds ewe take 35,141)0 words In an aluminum carrier fixed to their legs. Each ,•en• ere has apparatus for reducing the messages and for magnifying thert to 0 readable script when received.
