A writer in 1 the London Mail, who witnessed the incident, describes what followed. ? From the po.nt where it vanished, he says, we presently saw one small spec.;, then another, dropping from the clouds. For some hundreds of ; leet they fell like dead weights, then j parachutes opened, and the specks, now revealed as men, were steadied ! in their earthward course, floating rapidly, but safely, to the ground. After the balloon got free, they hi-u destroyed their papers and instruments, clambered over the side of the basket, and leaped for life into the great voiu oe..oaih them, trusting thai tne parachutes strapped round their , , waists would open when the should. J Think of that desperate spring into ; ' the vast, gray vapoi y nothingness beneath tne bauoon; tne feeling of the men as they made it, uncertain t?l what would happeifj the awful sensation of casting yourself blindly from such an appalling height with the knowledge that only a flimsy piece of material, which might act riyhtly and might not, intervened between yourself und a crash into the earth many thousands of feet below; the tense strain of the stone-like drop through two hundred feet of the void before tne parachute opened, and >thun the anxious merttal query, thru i the later stages of the descent: "What shall I light upon?"?a matter of supreme consequence that chance governs absolutely. In this cuso, the men made a safe landing. COMPULSORY ATHLETIC TESTS AT WADSWORTH Realizing the value of properly conducted atheletics as urrangeu by the Army Y. M. C. A., the commandant at Camp Wadsworth has issued a general order requiring enlisted men to take part, in the following athletic contests; 100-yard dash, running high jump, running broad jump, standing broad jump and throwing hand grenade. Points are awarded according to the merit of the performer in exceeding n certain set scale. GIRL! ITS YOUR STEP THAT ATTRACTS Says Woman Pay to Much Heed to Their Face Instead of . Their Corns. Watch your step! A brisk, lively step is what carms more than a lovely step is what charms more thai: 'lovelj skin, but your high heels have caused corns and you limp a little. That's bad, girls, and you know it. Corn* destroy beauty and grace, beside: corns are very easy to remove. Rid your feet of every corn by asking at any drug store for a quarter oi an ounce of freezone. This will cost little but is sufficient to remove over} hard or soft corn or paiim feet. A few drops applied directly upor a tender, touchy corn relieves th? soreness and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out without pain. This freezone is a gummy substance which dries instantly and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding skin. # Women ibust keep in mind that comless feet create a youthful step ' which enhances her attractiveness.

Thnt the many millions of Red Cross knitters may know the plans of the Red Cross for future knitting, George E. Scott, acting manager of the national organization, today issu u-? ine iouowing statement: "When the war industries board some time ago advised the Red Cross that future production of knitting yarn would be greatly reduced, we immediately commenced to purchase all yarns suitable for our knitting. As a result, we have today in stock or in order 1,400,000 pounds of yarn for distribution to our chapters. It is hoped that we may obtain some additional yarfi from wool unsuitable for government uses. "The expected total, however, will be considerably below the ten million pounds used last year. While the total of yarn we can secure is being determined, we are studying how to use our supply to produce only garments which are most essential. When a conclusion is reached we will announce our full program of knitting. "In addition to this stock of yarn, the Red Cross has on hand 1,600,000 sweaters, 1114,000 mufflers, .'184,000 wristlets, 228,000 helmets, and 1,.'128,000 pairs of socks?a total of .>,<>74,000 articles. We are hopeful therefore that these and such addif jnno| U ~ ~ 1~ 1 - A Viut.ui ^(Uiiicina ua wc Mitlll Ul' UUIL' U) make will enable us to meet the more urgent requirements of our men during the coming winter. In this connection it will be interesting to the know that from September 1, 1917 to June 13, 1918 the Red Cross distributed 8,875,000 knitted garments to the Army and Navy of the United States. During the same period 870,000 knitted articles were sent to the Red Cross commissioners in France and Italy for distribution to soldiers, sailors and civilians. "At the request of the war industries board, with which the Red Cross works in close co-operation. We have urged chapters and individual workers not to buy wool in the open market but to secure their materials through our department of supplies." | A nous WRECK From Three Years' Suffering.

I was unable to do any of my work.

"WE ARE SOMETHING MORE THAN A LOT OF STOMACHS" Speaking of education reminds us to say that too many of our people do not use.the schooling they have. They learn how to read and then don't read. And to learn how to read and then fail to read is as bad as to prepare land for a crop and then not plant it,?or to plant and then not harvest. We not only ought to have a good library in every school, but it should be enlarged into a community library, kept open all the year round. The person in charge of this community library should be a lover j books, interested not only in getting children to love reading but interested also in getting every grown person in a community to read the most wholesome, helpful, and inspiring books and papers. And just here we ure reminded of some striking expressions of a thoughtful man who came into our office the other day. "A house without a pantry or dining-room?would anybody call that a home?" he exclaimed.

I)r. Marl; A. Matthews, of Seattle, Wash., preaching yesterday ifternoon in the Fifth Avenue 1'resjyterian Church, Fifty-iihh Street ind Fifth Avenue, stirred his large ludience to fre<|uent and enthusiastic, ippluuse when he outlined "ten commandments" under which peace shall he dictated to Germany, as follows: "1. Germany shall not sit at the peucetahle. She has forfeited every right to sit at a talde where gentlemen of integrity and honor preside. She has outlawed herself, is unworthy of belief, trust, and confidence. She may watch the procedure at the peace table from her seat in the cake i)f culprits. "2. The peace table shi'.H be preceded l?y the court-martial which shall forever prevent Germany and any other nation from committing ' h outrages which Germany has committed. We must first ascertain from Germany the commanding officer in charge of the suhniaii.es at the time of the sinking of the l.u-i mia. He must he court-martialed an 1 shot. Who were the ollieers in command when Red Cross boats were destroyed, hospitals bombed, nurses killed, a.nd Belgium raped? These commanding oflicers must he court-mart alcd and shot. livery ollieer in c mur.aml of division or corps, and who had authority in order or prevent the outrages committed, must he court-martialed and shot. Must Surrender Her Sword "M. Germany shall surrender her sword, demobilize her arniv, and surrender her navy. She niu.-' not be permitted to have any army or navy. She may answer that she needs an army and a navy fur protect inn. The Allies will guarantee her ample police protect ion. *1.

"It). Tile seas shall he free. The world shall enjoy liberty. Militarism shall be crushed and representative. C As the preacher drove home each of his ten mandates for nonce, hurst after hurst of applause, mixed with a hum of approbation, erected thorn. 1 Valine with the many peace feelers of the Central I'owcrs prior to layine down his "Ton Commandments," Dr. Matthews said: "livery peace proposal heretofore* sueecsted has been German made, re garuiess oi tne pious or uniform lips ^ or pens through which it has been filtered. There shall never be a negotiated peaee, a propaganda peace, nor shall the insidious propaganda for negol luted peace be considered. 1 dare say, though, that right here today there are some who, when the 3 onp'irtunity offered, would speak fa- (j v >1 .bly of a negotiated peace but [ | such people would be matei .alistic | and would be merely see1 lug to put | dollars in their own pockets.
