The tendency in airplanes has been to run to two extremes -for fighting, as small and fast as possible, and for bombing, as large and powerful as possible. In a three -seater one pas- senger sits out in front mounted in a machine-gun turret. The pilot comes next, immediately behind the motor, while the second passenger sits behind him mounted he another machine-gun turrett. This hirplane is capable of carrying many hundred pounds of ex- plosives, and, being very fast and heavily armed, generally accomplishes its mission. The German "Albatross" is capable of a horizontal speed of 300 kilome- ters (about 187 Miles) an hour. It is a single -seater and carries' three ma- chine guns which, being controlled by the motor, shoot automatically and simultaneously through the propeller. The sight of these weapons converges at approximately fifty yards in front of the airplane, making the chance of hitting the opponent' three times as sure. The pitfalls and dangers which an aviator must avoid at the front are be- coming more in/morons every day. Anti-aircraft guns., mounted on fast motorcars, chase around the country behind the lines and prevent the enemy airplanes and Zeppelins from remaining over our territory. This type of battery was responsible fee the Zeppelins brought down at Compiegne in April, 1917, and Revigny, in April, 1916. In fact, this invention was one of the immediate causes of-th'e Ger- mans giving up their "strafeing" with Zeppelins. The record for dietetic° and height in hitting an airplane with this type of cannon is 15,000 feet in the Mt at 9000 yards distance across country A very large crew is reply:, ed to man one of these carmen. '.13e - side the cannon a telephonist gets the report of the position over which the German machine is flying, The Climbing Corn. Don't want that corn For to grow so high That its silky tassels Will sweep the sky; That I'll spend by time Huntin' ladders to climb 'Fore the dinner bell is ringin'. But I want that corn For to show its head Somewhat higher Than the table's speead, Till the, harvest sky Sees the barns piled high When the dinnar bell is eingiri'. Pray for whom thou lovest; thou Wilt toyer have any comfort of his friendslap for whom thou dost not pray. The Honest Woodinan. From the Fable of La Fontaine; There was a poor woodman who worked very hued in a forest. Orie day this woodman was chopping down ,a tall tree near a river, "Chop! Chop! Chop!" rang out his ax, as he brought it against the tall tree. trunk; when euddeely, as he swung his ax up high over his shoulder, the top of his ax flew off and went splash into the wa- ter. As it was made of eteel of course ,11 was very heavy and it sank down to the bottom of the river. The poor Woodman looked sad and said: "What can I do? How can I mein my daily bread without my good ax to help me?" As he sat there grieving, he saw a ripple of light upon the water. He rubbed his eyes. "Am I dreaming?" he said. But, as he looked again, he saw a wonderful fairy. She was dressed elle a shim- mering gown which seemed to be every color of the rainbow, and on her long golden hair she wore a crown of seaweed. She came toward the wood- man and spoke in a soft voice, that sounded like a rippling river: "My good man, why do you look so sad ?" "I have lost.my ax -my strong, steel ax head," he answered. "It fell into the river and. I know not what to do, for I can no longer chop down the trees to earn my daily bread." "Do not grieve, good woodman," said the fairy, "for I will try to find your ax head," and she went down into the water and soon •she came up and held out her hands toward him, and in one hand he saw an ax head of solid gold. "My good man, is this your ax?" she asked. ' He looked at the gold and answered: "No, that is very beautiful, but it is not my old ax. Mine was a strong steel ax head," "Very well," answered the fairy. "I will look again," So she put the gold Inc bead, down on the bank and disappeared in the water again, and all the woodman saw was a fipple of light on the river. Soon she carne up, holding in her hand an ax bead of shining silver. "Is this your ax head, my good man?" she asked, "No, no, that le very beautiful, but 10 13 not my old ax. Mine is made of steong steel." "Very well," answered the fairy. "lel put this silver ax head down on the bank and look again Tor your ax head," Then she went out across the water once more and sank from his sight, and all the woodman saw was a rip- ple of light on the river, This time, when she came back to the woodman, she held in her hand his old steel ax head. "Is this your ax?" she asked. "Yes, yes, that is my very own, ax head!" he answered. "Thank you so much for finding it for me!" Then the fairy took the gold and silver axes and said: "Did you not know that these other ax heads are far more valuable than your old steel one?" "Yes," said the woodman; "but the gold ax was not mine; nor was the silver one. - I am sure they are worth a great deal of money; but how can I claim them when they are not my own?" "Well done, honest woodman," said the fairy; "truth is far more precious than silver or gold, and because you have told me the truth I should like to make you a present of these two ax beads, for they belong to me." Than the fairy placed the gold ax and the silver ax in the hands of the astonished woodman, and she was gone across the water. And all he saw was the ripple of light. THE MINISTRY OF MUNITIONS REMARKABLE OUTPUT OF BIG BRITISH FACTORIES. Details Given by the Minister in Re- cent Speech in British House of Commons. Here are some details of the re- markable output of the great State Factories to which Dr. Addison, Bri- tish Minister of Munitions, referred recently in the House of Commons: We are now, turning out 20 times as many machine guns as we did two years ago. We are now making all the small arms and small -arm munitions we re- quh•e, and are entirely independent of outside supplies. At Woolwich we had in August, 1014, 10,860 workers, of whom 125 Were women. To -day we have 73,571, of whom 25,000 are women. Steel Production. Before the war we produced 7,000,- 000 tons of steel a year. Now we are producing at the rate of 10,000,000 tons a year. By the end of 1918 the figure will be 12,000,000. Home supplies of oil being de- veloped. Twice as many aeroplanes were turned out in May as was the case in December last. During the past six months 1,500,000 steel helmets have' been supplied to the troops. Waste is being prevented. Cart- ridge cases cost 7s. each. They can be refitted at a cost of 40. each. '1.1e.T., which formerly cost ls. 9d. per lb., is now selling for 8%cl, After nine weeks' fighting in France this spring the supply of shells had only decreased by 7 per cent. There are 183 separate operations in gauging every 18 -pounder shell, Scheme being developed' for the pro- duction of nitrates. New Intistries. We have now the plant available for supplying from this country all we need of the following articles Potash (entirely dependent on Ger- many before thewar). Scientific instrunfents. AN OPINION OF GERMANS. By Chas. M. Bice, Denver. Mr. Carl W. Ackerman, a distin- guished representative of the United Press, and a very trustworthy corre- spondent, filling the important station of chief of staff, was statione4 at Ber- lin from the beginning of the war and until diplomatic relations were sever- ed with Germany. He had unusual opportunities of observing how things shaped themselves in the Hun capital and throughout Germany. In the introduction to his book "Germany the Next Republic," he says: "At the beginning of the war I was sympathetic with Germany, but my sympathy changed to disgust as I watched developments in Berlin change the German people from world citizens to narrow-minded, deceitful tools of a ruthless government. I"saw Germany outlaw herself. I saw th effects of President Wilson's notes. saw the anti-American propaganda begin, I saw the Germany of 1915 disappear, and the birth of a lawles Germany take its place."

Verses 3-7 and 2 Kings 21. 8-7 give a vivid description of condi- tions. Assyria -No mention is made of Manasseh's captivity and sub- sequent restoration in Kings or in the 41` Assyrian inscriptions; nevertheless, they may well have taken place; (1) the states along the Mediterranean coast were involved in a rebellion against Ashurbanipal of Assyria, in B. C. 648-647; (2) Manasseh is named in the inscriptions as tributary to Ash- urbanipal and to his father Esarhad- don; (3) the treatment accorded to Manasseh is the treatment which ae- ucortb•dairniigpatio, the inscriptions Necho I of Egypt received at the hands of Ash - 12, 13. Repentance and restora- tion, Humbled himself -The Chibn- icier records that as the result of his disaster Manasseh humbled himself before Jehovah, turned from his evil ways, and sought to undo the evil committed during the early part of his reign. The Chronicler's source of in- formation is not known. The ac- CoUnt of the repentance is, perhaps in- tended to explain why the wicked Ma- nasseh enjoyed such a long reign, when, according to common Hebrew opinion, the wicked die young. 14-16.

PROVIDING FOR HARVEST HANDS rite Quantity and Kinds of Foods Required for Harvesters as Estimated by An Expert in Household Science. For an accustomed cook, the work of preparing meals for the extra harvest - hands, presents no special problem. It is a matter of assembling food and promptly preparing it in appetizing ways. To nearly every farm woman, how- ever, comes an appalling first time when she finds herself faced by the question of how much she must pre- pare for a given number of men. To this question is now added our national duty of economy, We are asked to prepare for our tables not 'so much what we best enjoy as what will most acceptably and economically nourish bodies for the work they must do. In view of this situation, many of my readers may welcome an estimate of the amount of food needed for one meal by one man employed at severe 'work such as threshing. I am reproducing here the table which gives in ounces a 'balanced ra- tion for a man of one hundred and fifty-four pounds. A little study of, the table as a whole will help the ° housewife to understand how this bal- 1 ance is preserved and how to estimate what slie will need to furnish for five men or twenty-five. This is Mr. Ackertnan's opinion o the Germany of to -day. The seeds of democratic though which Wilson sowed in Germany are nevertheless, taking root in her soil If the imperial government had no frightened the people into a belief that too much thinking would be dan- gerous for the fatherland, the ILS would not to -day be at war with the Kaiser's government. Only one thing now will make the people realize that they must think for themselves if they wish to exist as a nation and as a race. That is a military defeat, a defeat on the battlefields of the kaiser, von Hindenburg and the Rhine valley am- munition interests. Only this will shake the public confidence in the na- tion's leaders. Only a destroyed Ger- man army leadership will make the people rise up and overthrow the group of men who do Germany's poli- tical thinking to -day. Mr. Ackerman's views confirm our estimate of the Ger- man spirit and our conviction that there can be no safety or semmity for the world, and no true freedom 'Tor the German people until the criminal and futile folly of Prussian militarism has been crushed by a decisive victory for the allies and democracy. Thank Heaven, the prophetic role is becom- ng a thankless, if note perilous one, n Germany. The iniperial govern- ment insists on optimistic interpreta- ion of all augurs and omens, but is notably inefficient in providing veri- cation for prediction. It was pro- hesied that the U-boat war would ring Great Britain to 'her knees by uly 1, and that the retreat from the omme would pave the way for a bril- i ant and decisive coup by von Hill- enburg.

How long will it talce the, Ger- man people to discover that they are being fed on lies? Only the most rig- orous censorship of all unfavorable news can be responsible for the state of ignorance of the German people as to the real situation of their empire, But there are signs tab the truth is beginning to percolate through to the lower strata, and that the people are awakening, When they demand the overthrow of Hollweg and others of the wee o0utioil, if not of the kaiser himaelf, which rimier persists in at- ilt/nine he war beyond the mere lending of money and sale of supplies to the al- ies.

Doughnuts re- quire considerable handling but lit- tle more than biscuit or muffins, and usually are more satisfactory. The main thing to guard against is taking proper care of the food in the hot weather. For that reason it is best not to keep much over from day today. The more variety we can give in the grain foods, the less meat will be re- quired. Try to serve biscuit, dumpl- ings or squares of pie crust and stuff- ings with meats and fish to make a less quantity satisfying. Food must not be greasy.

Treasured in Museums and Valued Highly by Owners. The treaty of Paris was signed by the plenipotentiaries with a pen now owned by the Empress Eugenie. It was made from a golden eagle's quill and studded with gold and diamonds. Two .pens used by Charles Dickens, were sold at auction for one hundred and two hundred dollars respectively; one used by Sir Walter Scott at Ab- lbatford brought about forty-five dol - In Berlin museum is the pen with which Queen Louise of Prussia signed her will, and beside it is the one with which the grandfather of the present Kaiser wrote his famous letter to Queen Augusta telling about the vic- tory at Sedan. Ten years ago the marriage regis- ter of Mr. Ward, son of Lord Bangor, was signed with the pen that the dip- lomats used in 'signing the treaty of Vienna. This pen, which has .been used several times in the Ward family, for, the signing of marriage registers, was obtained by a former Lord Bangor, when as Lord Castlereagh's secretary, he was present at the important con- ference. Persons who are especially interest- ed in a bill passed by the United States Congress often _receive from the President, as a souvenir, the pen with which he signed the document. The pen with which President Wilson signed the declaration of war on April 6 will undoubtedly be treasured as an object of great value, and will prob- ably be gazed , upon with awe by fu- ture generations. One of the best-known pens in the United States is owned by Mr. Isaac B. Reed of New York, who at one time refused to sell it for seven hundred and fifty dollars. Its value arises from the fact that, aside from having been used by both Lincoln and Grant, it was made from a carved box in whicb the young George Washington kept parts of his surveying instruments. The box itself was made from the lid of a ilesk that belonged to the captain of th Mayflower. As the value of a pen increases in proportion with the importance of the ' document on which it is used, the one with which the treaty of peace that oncludes the present war is signed hould bring a price that would help, omewhat at least, in alleviating the suffering that the war has Caused, Serious Matter.

LEARN TO SWIM An Accomplishment Which May En- able You to Save Human Life. By all means learn to swim. More important and more fun than almost any other sport, it has also a utility side above that of exercise -the ability to swim easily and well may some time be the sole means of saving your life and the lives of others. Besides that, there is a sense of comfort about venturing upon the water that cannot be felt by the person who does not know how to swim. There is no risk and very little brav- ery required in learning how to swim, if you go at it in the right way. Select a spot Where the water for several yards in every way is not deeper than your breast. Then rely upoh the cer-, tain knowledge that you cannot drown, that you cannot sink if your lungs are partly inflated, that when almost en- tirely submerged you weigh only a pound or two and only a minimum effort in paddling with the broad of your hand is required to, keep you up and to send you along, added to which the foot movement will complete the art. At first you will be clumsy about learning to swim, as in everything else; the doggy stroke will be used at the start, after which you can learn to float on your back with inflated lungs. Practice of strokes of various kinds, both graceful and effective, will do the rest, You do not need water wings, corks or floats; just throw yourself on your face in the water, strike out, and you will forever be glad of it. For Them I Did R. In France last year I went along the French front, Said Premier Llody George in a recent speech, and I met one of the finest generals in the French Army -General Gouraud-and he said: "Oho of my soldiers a few days ago did one of the most gallant and daring things any soldier ever did. He was reckless, but he managed to come back alive, and someone said to liini, "Why 000 you o You have got for children, and you might have 1dt it to one of the young fel- lows in the Army. What would have, happened to your children?" And his answer was: "It was for them I did it." ........ 1 ostaremancarressuotaraw• Many women with disfigured complexions never seem to think that they need an occasional cleansing inside as well as outside, Yet neglect of this internal bathing shows itself in spotty, and sallow complexions -Ms well se in dreadfulbeadachee and biliousness. it's because the liver becomes sluggish, and waste matter accumulates which Nature cannot remove without assistance.
