World I Kely to Be Amaxed Whew \t
L??rn? What the Aircraft Realty
Accomplished.
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.

EDUCATION AND fHt PUMPKIN
Kaotern Writer Point* Out Wherein
tfco Two Have Some Strong
P???U of Similarity.

It grew full twenty feet iiiv

It would not be nulls* for <u\ur educa
tors to consider the-pumpkin vine; un
questionably *011 ie of thciu have In
earlier days, but whether with a view
to Its close analogy to educutlonal
proceKHes is uncertain. 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. We are turning to the husinesa of
making our schools show quick fruit

But It is at least a fair hazard to
opine that thfc pupils who become
"some pumpkins" will often as not be

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.
Scores of persons attended the fu

Like Steel, Y*t Light.
A metal lighter tliHti guy yet known
?nd as strong as Of stronger than steel,
has for years been tin* dream of many,
and every now and than ruraora ara
circulated to the effect that at laat It
has been discovered. The advantage*
which such a metal would huve, aape
dully for aircraft, are obvious, but un
fortunately. It is generally found on la*
ve* ligation thut there la a "anag" aoiu?
where. The latest report to be circu
lated relates to a new magnesium al
loy, said to have been discovered by a
metal company of Montreal, Canada.
The new alloy, It la stated, is ohl>
two-thlrda the Weight of aluminum and
la "as strong as steel." It Is said to b?
especially aultulde for pistons and con
necting rods of aero and motorcar en
gines. It la to be hoped that aome ol
the qu^llttes attributed to the new
alloy may, on closer examination, b?
substantiated.
Horaa and Donkey Matt In Mexlca.
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. The flesh of
these animals Is not bad, and during
hard times we have eaten It here with
full knowledge of Its origin, and !t la
known that there Is In Havana a so
ciety of horsement enters. I do not
know anything about the quality of
donkey m?nit."

Churches Into Movies.
Conversion of several churches In
various parts of England Into moving
picture theaters hns resulted from de
creasing church attendance and the
consequent disorganization or amalga
mation of congregations. At Torquay
one former place of worship has been
turned lnt? a laundry.

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.
