Dog's Funeral Costly.
So drastic has the curb been placed
upon useless automobile driving in
England that a taxicab driver in Lon-
don was recently fined $250 for driv-
ing frons the city to Molesworth tvitli
the coffin of a dog in his car. Sir
Maurice and Lady Anderson hired him
to give their dog what they considered
a fitting burial and saw to it that the
obsequies were elaborate. The. :driver
was fined under the motor spirit re-
striction act, which makes it punish-
able .for any person to use petrol for
unnecessary purposes. The petrol is
needed badly for use in motor vehicles
at t110 front, and England as evidence
in the hugeness of the driver, John
McCarty's fine, means to enforce it.
All superfluous fat should be trim-
med from pleat and tried out.

COURTESY IN THE AIR.
Chivalry of the Air Service is Already
Well Known,
Aviators on the western front as a
rule observe the most punctilious
politeness toward each other and to-
ward their enemies. The chivalry el
their corps is already fabled.
One instance is told to show the de-
gree of thought which the English fly-
ing corps give this suli,j•eeke In the re-
cent drive on Cambrai the flying men
swooped down and fought with the
enemy's infantry as their own infant-
rymen charged. Daring their own
barrage fire and the volleys from the
ground still held by the Ilun they
dived constantly, keeping no higher
than forty feet above the German
trenches.
One of the most destructive of these
lads suddenly found himself at one
stage of the battle confronted with
four machine guns all pointing direct-
ly at him as ho slanted clown. The
bullets ripped and sung about him. It
was too late to turn away, so he sail-
ed head-on toward them, pouring his
own machine gun fire among them.
Three of the machine guns be silenced
hi the brief moment before he was
forced to point his machine up to es-
cape a smash against the earth. The
one machine gun remaining opened
fire on him and he gayly turned and
thumbed his nose at it. A bullet
smashed his hancl and he was forced
to fly home whore his companions
twitted him mercilessly on his jusi
punishment for displaying bad man,
Hers.
HARD ON THE WHALE.
