We have become so used in sto ri ea of wonderful feats accomplished bj aircraft ?iviring "tl?** war thai every thing we lu'nr nowadays leaves us at most cold. The tiling tlial, before the war, would have furnished hold headlines In the newspapers aad have been a tuple of discussion for days In the places where people COUgj^ttl excite no more than pausing notice. It is scarcely surprising, then, that the story of how touch has been maintain ed for more than (\yo ye?"'s between the allied armies of the Near Nust and the gallant remnants of tin* Serbians and Montenegrins who were hidden among their mountain fastnesses, and of how they were supplied with arms and cartridges by airplane, has hardly attracted attention. There hus been nothing but the barest mention of the fact. . We are not told how and from where the machines carried out their mission, of how many were engaged In the task of supply, or of what ef fect their wonderful performances may have had on the situation by keep ing up the spirits of the gallant few who have held out against *the enemy for so many weary months. We are simply told that the Serbian anny% In Its victorious advance, has obtained touch with those bauds, who "since the Austro-Bulgnrlan occupation have been holding out t*mong the moun tains and have been continuously sup plied with arms, foot* and. cartridges by airplane." Now that the episode Is historical, concludes Flight, and the enemy can gain no possible advantage from knowing how It was done, It Is a pity that some official commentator with an imagination cannot tell us the full Story, which tuUMt bo a real epic or war. JUST WHAT BILLION MEANS Probably Few People Have Right Con ception of What an Efiormous " . Amount It Represents. We hoar of billions these doys, hut It Is probable that very few persons have any notion of what an euormous amount?of money a billion represents. i We do know, however, how rapidly an expert counter of coins manipulates them. You can scarcely follow the motion of his fingers as he shifts the coins from one pile to another and counts them. The experts it). the treasury department will count 1,(H)0 silver dollars an hour and keep this up all day long, but that is their limit. Working eight hours a day, then, an expert counter of coin will count 32, 000 silver dollars in a day, but how long will It take him at that rate to count n million dollars? Thirty one days! But that Is only the beginning of the measurements of great figures, for If the same man were to continue to count silver dollars at the same rate of speed for ten years lie would find that he had counted only 100. 000,000 of them, and that to count 1,000,000,000 of them would require 102 years of steady work at the rate of eight hours a day during every worklrig day of every one of the 102 years. " Not a Modern Gun. "What were you going to do with this revolver?" asked Walter Pritch ard, judge of city court. "Shoot rabbits," replied Abe McMur ray, colored, age seventeen,'336 Fuy ette street, who was on trial charged with carrying concealed weapons. The judge examined the weapon, which was a small one, and noticed that the barrel would not revolve'auto matically. He called the defendant's attentlop to this fact, and was told that It would revolve If turned by hand.- } . - The judge still appeared undecided, then finally remarked: "If this was a real gun I would fine you $104 and costs, but since It Is only about half a gun I will make the fine just half the usual amount." Then he wrote $50 and costs across the face of the affi davit.?Indianapolis News. Missouri Mule Always There. The Missouri mule wns in the war Ibng before the Missouri soldier en tered it. The declaration of war was made for hhn in 1914, two years and a half before Pershing and the thou sands of other Missourians got their orders to wheel into line. He had made a brilliant record there before their ap pearance. But, according to the Lon don advices, he seems to have felt the Impulse of Missouri behind him at the last, for it Is written: "The mule shared in the big British advances on the western front this fall and proved his and/worth by keeping right ap with the rapidly advancing artillery." That is a Missouri characteristic. Some Name! According to the camp jH>ster ap Camp Lewis, American Lake.

Perhaps it is too much to Huy (hat the l?c?t fruit of the educations I vine Is produced from Its original source; that what comes of schooling Is something quite different from the apparent result at the source; that the best things a man or woman does are very different from the particular, or nonpsrtlcularlxed thing, he or she Is directly taught to do.

COLOGNE'S UPS AND DOWNS Important German City of the" Present Has Had Its Periods of Dire Adversity, During the Middle Ages Cologne was a place of greut trade; the weav ers, the goldsmiths, and the armorers of the city .were famous the world over; while its merchants hnd houses in London, and the city Itself was ac corded a chief place In the llanseatle league,, Decay set in with the dawn of the Reformation, and the place owed its downfall to Its Intolerance. Thus, Its university, "which In the fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries had a great reputation, began ftt once to decline. This policy dealt uevere blows at the prosperity of the town, and when, In 1714, Cologne was occupied by the French, It was a poor and decayed city of some 40.000 inhabitants, of which only 0,000 possessed civil rights. Since 1815, however, when It was finally assigned to Prussia, Cologne has continued to prosper, until to day It Is One of the most Important uiles of Germany, with a population Of nearly half a million. Fool-Proof Airplane. The latest model of British airplane la said to be as nearly foolproof as It Is possible to make such a machine as an airplane. The machines are so balanced and the wings so arranged, that "when the engine stops they j^llde gradually and Easily to earth. The following test shows how stable these airplanes are: A pilot climbed to a sufficient height, and then stopped his engine and took- his hands off the con trol, merely keeping his feet oh the rudder bar. lie steered for an air drome twenty miles away, and. having headed her straight, he let the air plane do what she liked. ' She trav eled the whole twenty miles as stead ily as a bicycle coasting down a long, straight and gentle hill. Of course the pilot had to take h#id of the con trol stick to land the machine In the airdrome, but except for^-that, and the steering,' the airplane made the whole Journey by herself. Dogs as Messengers. Experiments made in the training of dogs an messenger's With the armies In the field have, It Is stated, given satisfactory results. The dogs which proved most receptive under /Instruc tions are chiefty half-breed collies and retrievers. A rather poor breed of bob-tailed sheepdogs has also done well. All have been trained to per form thejr errands during heavy fir ing, both of rifles and guns. They can be fired over as easily as the or dinary sporting dog, and what Is quite another thing, they will face Are at close range. Had Same War Adventures. A letter from the chaplain of base hospital 48, French lines, brings to light a strange case of parallel circum stances In the war experiences of two San Franciscans. Corp. Arthur T. Mul len, 021 Alvarado street, and Private Jeremiah Sears, 623 Alvarado street. After enlistment the two men, living In the same building, were assigned to the same division, fought In the same battle, escaping wounds; then in the battle of Argonne they were lxoth wounded October 14 at the same titae, "By macninegun outlets, and were placed Ride by side on cots In the same hospital. New American Industry. Turkish towels now come from Lew iston, Me., where the mills are do^ turning out thousands of high-grade Turkish towels that are said to be far superior to the goods formerly brought across the Atlantic. One mill as ? a aide line turns out 30.000 bedspreads each week and dally produces thou sands of yards of mercerized silk. Canary Given Fine Funeral.

The following from the Mexico cor respondent of the Journal of thl American Medical Association (a autf gestlve of at leaat one way to lowat the coat of living: "Because of the scarcity and tha poor quality of the beef now on aala or through eagerness to make money, some people have been devoting them selves surreptitiously to the slaughter of donkey8, mules and horses. A| some of these people have been caught and punished, they intend to aak tha hoard of public health that they be allowed to open u slaughterhouse ex* cluslvely for horses.

CHANDLER SIX Famous For Its Marvelous Motor ?Europe Welcomes THe Chandler Six NOW and then you read something about "French style and line" in automobiles, or perhaps it's "the newest English idea.*' And some folks have gone across to get the newest suggestions. Europe hasn't built automobiles for five years and Europe is crying for new cars and good cars. * America's style is Europe's style now. The Chandler Six, popular in many other countries for years but kept out of Europe the past three years because of war-time prohibition of shipments. Is welcomed everywhere in Europe now?welcomed for the excellence of its performance, and quite as much for the beauty of its styles of body. The Chandler, represented in the British Isles by Messrs. H. G. Burford & Company, Ltd., of London, was exhibited by that old established English automotive house, at the great Olympia Motor Show, and was "quite the sensation of the show," says a London cable, "'Three hundred and seventy Chandlers were sold in two days " Apparently England is ftreatly pleased with America's best style in motor cars.
