Gratified was I when given com-
mand of an Infantry Works Company,
though a trifle ruffled when irreverent
brother- officers persisted' in address-
ing me as "0,0. Drains,'
Works Companies were unknown be-
fore: the war, and carne intobeing
about a year ago,owing to the need
for supplementing or replacing' civil-
Ian by military labor, says a writer
In London Answers. This, it was
found; could be most conveniently
done' by the institution of small, mo-
bile, tpelf-contained' working' units,
each independent of the other, and
available for duty anywhere at home.
All Conditions of Men.
A Works Company, in short, is a
miniature battalion, and the "0. C.
Drains" is his own commandingoffi-
cer, The establishment 'comprises
one officer,' who is a captain or a eub-
;„altern,one sergeant -major, who also
acts as quartermaster -sergeant, two
sergeants, four corporals, si* "lance -
corporals, and ninety-four privates—
total, pne hundred and eight.
Because they are unarmed the men
are often mistaken for "Conscientious
Objectors"; but most unjustly so. They
ger are Derby recruits, who, on being at-
tested, were found fit for Home Ser• -
vice only, but capable of a certain
amount of labor. Nor are.they neces-
sarily skilled artisans or trained labor-
ers.
, My little commando included journ-
alists, clerks, warehousemen, factory
hands and operatives, barbers, and an
ex -chauffeur, and only a small propor-
tion are laborers by calling. But if at
first manual toil brought aches and
pains to those used to indoor occupa-
tions, they buckled to with a will, and
soon grew fit and hard.
The construction or repair of rifle
'ranges, the making of temporary or
l ermanent roads, the building of rail-
way sidings, these are the usual tasks
of an Infantry Works Company,
Noble Emoluments.
Financially, the men may be quite
well off, for, if lent to a civilian firm,
as ,;they usually -are, they receive the
local' civilian rate of wages, less 85
cents a day, which is stopped by Gov-
ernment. Thus, on one job during.the
summer, when working -hours' were
long, my men working overtime Satur-
days, they averaged $4.25. a week,
after providing for the 87 cents a day
deduction. And—mind you!—these
i - civilian wages were in addition to
their Almy. pay : and any separation
allowances to which their dependents
were entitled. ,
The civilian employer does net bene-
fit by the 86cents a day stoppage. He
has to pay -the full rate of wages to
the Government, the stoppage being
made hi view of -the fact that, al-
though the Works. Company man is in
civil eniploy, he continues to be fed,
clothed; and ]loused by, the State. In-
cidentally, the men are provided with
khaki -drill working oyeralls, to save
heir unifojms from wear and tear.
Touring England.
Humdrum though his task may be,
the "LW.0,'''than is likely to see more
of his nativeland than probably he
Sas ever `seen'before. A Works Com-
pany is, .not supposed to be lent for
any one job for more than two months,'
and ib.wanders all over the country.
What of the "O.C. Drains"? He
tastes the joys of independence, .and.
what with supervising the work and
conducting his own "office," there : is
enough to doo keep him pleasantly
busy. On the other hand, as he is the
only officer with the company, he may
suffer from loneliness. Still, it is
sweet to be your own "boss," and my
experience of running an Infantry
Works Company is that I should be
loth to give it up. The men are usual-
ly exceedingly well-behaved, giving
little or no trouble.
I'll admit that there are few oppor-
tunities for heroism and-V.C's, but
the I.W. then are doing valuable work
all the same. TO FIRE TORPEDOES.
Method Employed by Submarines at
Their Deadly Work:
Tlie torpedo is discharged under
Water., leaving on a calm surface a'
white streak of foam, The depth va-
ries, but is never very great because
Che target to be hit is,not deep in the
water. `If a battleship, the target lies
between her water line and keel, a
distance of maybe thirty feet. If a
destroyer, drawing only nine feet or
So of water, the target is very diifi-
,.cult; the torpedo is likely to pass clean
under the hull ofthe'ship or else, be-
ing aimed at a point between the sur-
face and the keel, nine feet below the
surface, it is likely to broach to the
surface and pursue an erratic course.
Of course the torpedo may strike ane
part of the ship's hull or may miss en-
tirely. Torpedoes can be discharged
on the -surface and sometimes are,
when the submarine has nnothing to fear from the target ship.
The business is difficult. With the
periscope fully above water the sub-
marine may sight a battleship five
miles away. The next step is to de-
termine the course the battleship is
taking and her speed so that the sub-
marine can tell whether it is possible
to overtake her and if so where. The
submarine usually travels at moderate.
speed submerged toward the target,
rising occasionally to get the range,
The last observation sheulcl be taken
within 1,000 yards of the battleship, a
place of high danger for the under-
Water boat, Their there is nothing to
do but to sink once for all, crowd on
all speed, run a couple of hundred
yards nearer if possible and fire the
carefully aimed torpedo, trusting to
the accuracy of the calculations al
ready made,

BRITISH. WOMEN WORKERS.
All Class Distinction Levelled by the
War.
Walking up the Strand recently l
saw'a young woman dressed in a kha-
ki Ruselan blouse, long' khaki trou-
sers and a khaki turban, writes a vis-
itor in London. She was perched on
a ladder, busily washing windows.
Hundreds passed the spot every min-
ute but few even raised their `eyes to
look at her.
Women in trousers have loTyg ceas-
ed to be a novelty here. Three years
ago this one would have blocked traf-
fic in the Strand. To -day she is sim-
ply a woman "doing her bit" in a
great army of women workers mobil-
ized "to keep the home fires burning."
The war found British men unpre-
pared and confused, but unafraid. It
found women almost entirely ignored,
though their patriotism ran just as
high as that of their brothers, fathers
and sons. After three years of strife
there are still no quitters among the
women, and few pacifists or "con-
scientious objectors."
In the first days eyery woman
wanted to be a nurse. It made no
difference that she probably had
never even bandaged a frostbitten
toe or extracted a splinter from her
finger. She declared she was fully
qualified to nurse ,the wounded Tom-
mies who were coming home in hun-
dreds in those confused days.
The romance of nursing appealed
to the lady in Belgravia, the cotton
spinner in Mandhester, and the typist
in Whitehall. And nine times out of
teen the Manchester miss and Lady
Belgravia were equally willing to
tackle the 'job of scrubbing the hos-
pital floors
os-pitalfloor's and doing the seat of the
strenuous labor incident to a nurse's
novitiate.
Roughly, the British army of wo-
men is divided into three parts;
First, the munition workers, w£io
comprise a force running into•1-hun-
dreds of thousands; second,. a .civil
force whose duty it is to carry .on
the work necessary for the financial
and economic continuation of the na-
tion's life; third, a military auxiliary
composed of nurses, makers of sol-
diers' comforts, escorts for convales-
cent soldiers, motor car drivers, and
departmental messengers.
•
. A Gallant Airman. • •
Commander Samson, who has been
awarded a bar to his D.S.O., and
whose engagement to Miss Honor
Storey was recently announced, may
justly be termed the father of naval
flying. He and' Mr. Winston Church-
ill between them got the Naval Air
Service fairly started, add 'brought it
to such efficiency that it was far the
better half of our "overhead • arm"
when war broke out. That event took
Samson to the western front, where
his skill and daring soon made him
famous with our troops: The Kaiser
offered $5,000 reward to anyone who
could take him dead or alive. The All -
Highest had seen what Samson could
do in the air, and had been impressed
by it. 'On the last occasion that the
Kaiser visited 'England •the intrepid
airman performed wonderful. feats
above the Hohenzollern. Doubtless he
would give much to get the Kaiser as
well within bomb range again. ,

Two English ladies began last/Jena-
ivy
astJenaary to drive ,a tractor plough, which
was lying idle because the ironmonger
to whom it belonged bad no men to
spare to send out with jb, They had
experience in motor driving, but none
in ploughing, Ono day last month a
letter was received from+.one' of them
in which she said;
"We have just clone 08 acres, nnd
have come to do 20 acres, and this
morning there is an .inch of snow, but
we mean to go out and try to work.
• Now either of us can work the tractor

BANISH PIMPLES

In the Spring Most People Need
a Tonic Medicine.-.,,.
One of the surest signs that the
blood is out of order ie the pimples,
unsightly eruptdons and eczema that
come frequently with the change Flom
winter to spring. These prove that the
long indoor life of winter has had its
effect upon the blood, and thata tonic
medicine is needed to put it right. In-
deed there are few people who. do not
need a tonic at this season. Bad blood
does not merely show itself in disllgur-
ing eruptions. To this. same condition
is due attacks of rheumatism and lum-
bago; the sharp stabbing pains of
sciatica and neuralgia, poor appetite
and,a desire to; avoid exertion, You
cannot cure these troubles by the use
of purgative med'iopsos=you need a
tondo, and a tonic only, and among aJl
medicines there is none can equal Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for their tonic,
life-giving, nerve -restoring powers.
Every dose of this medicine whites

purities, stimulates every organ and
brings a feeling of new health and

women end children. If you are out
ofsorts give this medicine a. trial and
see how quickly it will restore the ap-
petite, revive drooping spirits, and fill
your veins with new, health -giving
blood.

KING EDWARD AND THE KAISER
Cause of German Emperor's Hatred
for English Sovereigns.
An astounding story of King Ed-
ward knocking down the Kaiser at
Windsor Castle is related by Edward
:Legge in a new book, "King Edward,
the Kaiser, and. the War."
Here is Mr. Legge t account of the
incident as described to him:
"During one of his visits to Wind-
sor Castle the -Kaiser and King Ed-
ward had an altercation resulting
from something said by the former.
So exasperated was the King by his
nephew's grossly insulting words
that, losing all control over himself,
he sprang to his feet and knocked
the Kaiser doyen!"
The Kaiser's antipathy to England,
Mr. Legge thinks, undoubtedly had
its genesis in the "bad blood" between."'
himself and King Edward:
"The Kaiser's envy and hatred of
his uncle led him to long for the
time when an opportunity should
arise for humbling the 'Peacemaker'
and haughty Albion. In King Ed-
ward's successor the Kaiser imagined
he saw a sovereign "infirm of pur-
pose by comparison with his father
—one who ..would be willing to
'knuckle down' to Germany at a time
of crisis in European destinies, throw
his influence into the Teutonic scale,
and, so to say, range himself along-
side his Imperial cousin. •
"To the amazement of William IL,
King,George, when the fateful mo-
ment arrived -Sunday. afternoon, Au-
gust 2, 1914—gave proof that the Brit-
ish Empire was ruled by a veritable
counterpart of Edward VII.

so strong a vogue. It is fascinating
work for those who like needlework,
and so simple to do that many spring
and 'summer frocks will be adorned
with it, worked out in the attractive
colors used for embroideries.
The peplum blouse illustrated is the
kind that is worn withethe new loose -
hanging skirts, an example of which
is shown in the sketch. This skirt is
attached to a skeleton lining, the lin-
ing so called, hanging from the shoul-
ders and cut on straight, loosely -fitted
lines. The lining is made of some soft
or thin material such as net, China
silk or fine lawn. The object of this
type of skirt is to preserve the
straight-line silhouette. It makes an
excellent foundation for the peplum,
or outside blouses as they are called.
The blouse that buttons straight
down the back is making it way sure-
ly but slowly into the fashionable
wo81•ld. Crocheted and decorative
fancy buttons make these back clos-
ings rather attractive. Some novelty
buttons are made of colored beads
bunched together in ball shape. These
are generally used on waists that but:

What Might Happen.
Pat was a witty young recruit, who
was taking instruction in marksman-
ship. The squad had finished firing.
Pat was brought to task for his poor
shoofing, and told that he must do
better at the next distance; there were
to be seven rounds of quick firing.
"Now, Pat," the sergeant told him,
"fire at target No. 5,"
Pat banged away, and hit target No.
4 seven times in succession.
"What target did you aim at?' ask-
ed the irate officer.
"No. 5, nor," answered Pat.
"And you have hit No. 4 every
time."
"Bedad, sor," retorted Pat, "that
would be a grand thing in war. Sure
