HOW LONE AIRPLANE
WIPED OUT BOMBERS
Flyer's Story of Thrilling
World War Adventure.
The true story of one of the most
dramatic and daring exploits of tlu
World war—the story of how a lont
night-bombing plane manned by a Brit
ish pilot and observer wiped out an
airdrome and a whole fleet of German
Gothas returning from a night raid or
London—ls told In McClure's Mag
zlne by a British flyer and secret serv
ice agent. Writing under the assumed
name of Tom Vigors, because of army
regulations, he reveals closely guarded
secrets of the allied airmen's thrilling
adventures in night flying.
The two flyers, "Bed" Whlteman
and Teddy Parsons, pilot and ob
server respectively, had been ordered
out on a night observation cruise up
and down a certain sector north from
I'operlnghe to Nleuport. Crossing the
lines, they sighted above the town of
Ghistelies three enemy Gothas sneak
ing along in (he darkness about 2,000
feet below them. Ahead of these had
passed two other enemy machines.
Easing down to the same height as
the enemy jjlanes. Red and Teddy
«- Joined the grim procession. All un
suspected, they followed the raiders
until lighthouse signals from the
ground indicated that they were ap
proaching the airdrome at Denis-St.
Westrem, a well-known Gotha lair.
There they waited for £Jie first four
planes to land. Then, as the fourth
machine loomed Into the light from
the ground flares and the last one
was preparing to glide in, they at
tacked. Like lightning, their ma
chine dived down, straight for the
flares. The fourth Gotha made a
beautiful target in the lights. Grasp
ing the bomb releases, Red pulled,
and In an lnstunt the Gotha was wiped
out. Meanwhile Teddy had been spray
ing the fifth German plane with his
machine gun.
Elated by the success of their first
dive, they now tore down on a group
of airplanes huddled against the
hangar, revealed clearly In the light
of the burning plane. Red released
four more light bombs right Into the
center of this group.
They turned again and passed above
the hangars. Three more bombs
crashed, and In a flash one end of
the set of hangars was burning fierce
ly.
The job was dop« What had been,
less than five minutes before, a qulet
well-organlzed airdrome, wus now a
blazing ruin, and air raids on London
from this £otha nest were interrupted
for several weeks.
Light From Treea
A French scientist has discovered
a means of extracting and harnessing
the electricity in trees. He connected
a copper plate attached to a tree, and
another plate burled In the earth, with
a galvanometer, a delicate Instrument
which measures the strength of weak
currents of electricity, and obtained
a record of the current passing through
the tree.
With three trees connected in the
same way the power was Increased,
the experiment, with a like result, be
ing continued until twenty trees were
linked up in this fashion.
The scientist then placed two cop
per plates In the earth, about six feet
apart, and with the current thus ob
tained lighted a small electric lamp.
Whether the idea can be extended to
be commercially worth while has yet
to be determined.
Sugar in History
The Department of Agriculture says
that sngar from the sugar cane was
probably known in China 2,000 -years
before it was used In Europe. Sev
eral centuries before Christ Greek
physicians called sugar by the name
of "Indian salt" and a "honey made
from reeds." When merchants began
to trade In the Indies sugar was In
cluded among the spices, perfumes
and other rare and costly things car
ried to the western countries of Eu
rope. At this time it was used exclu
sively in the preparation of medicines.
When sugar was first Introduced as a
food It was regarded with suspicion.
It was said to be heating, to be bad
rfor the lungs and .to cause apoplexy.

THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
; AMONG MY BOOKS
How I should like to meet In books
r The normal folk I really know-*—
The man, less cryptic than he looks.
The woman, generally ditto;
The llttlo child, unstudied, wild—
To fitful brilliance reconciled!
! How comfortably to sit me down
i Among my peers, nor dread the
whoop »
Of cowboy, Indian or clown—
-1 To sip a plate of blubber soup;
"Far from the maddening crowd" of
freaks
To listen while a brother speaks!
No dime museum marvels now,
No nature faker's caravan,
No dog-faced boy to bark "bow-wow!"
No monkey chatting like a man—
And oh, 'twere best of all to hear
That thirty's neither old nor queer!
"A tear bedlmmed her mild old eye,"
Or, "Her magnetic days were done"—
These are the things they say, butwhyT
For "She" was only thirty-tone.
On realism real indeed—
"A feast of reason" I would feed!

Quaint Old Structure
Again House of God
An Interesting ceremony was per
formed at Rotherham, England, a
short time ago, when the historic
Chapel on the "Bridge, built in the
Fifteenth century, and unique In many
respects, was reconsecrated by the
bishop of Sheffield.
The only bridge chapel comparable
with the Botherham structure is at |
' Wakefield, but, while the latter has |
been rebuilt from the level of the j
bridge during the last century, the I
Rotherham Chapel.
fabric of the Rotherham chapel Is
practically the same as when It was
built In 1483.
Since the dissolution of chantries
at the period of the Reformation, the
Rotherham chapel has passed through
varying vicissitudes, having been used
as an almshouse, u Jail and more re
cently a tobacconist's shop.
The chapel Is now to be used for
the purposes for which' it was orig
inally built.
Poor Pork
President Condon of the American
Snuff company said at a dinner In New
York:
"The snuff business Is good when
the cotton crop is good. The snuff--
taker, you see, must have money to
pay for his snuff, for the price never
goes down.
"If n dealer offers you cheap snuff,
tell hlin the story of the butcher's little
boy.
" 'Now, Willie,' his school teacher,
said to the butcher's little boy, 'sap
pose your father had a pig weighing
145 pounds and sold It for 0 cents a

"The butcher's little boy sneered dis
gustedly.
"'lt wouldn't be worth a d—n,' be
said."

Work Guaranteed to
Speed Up the Brain
Are you a quick thinker? If you
are, your chances of success in life
are bright. If you are not, then test
your speed, and "speed up."
If a friend holds a small red hand
kerchief In one'closed hand and a blue
one In the other, and you, not know
ing which hand he will open, have to
throw your left arm If he discloses
blue, and*the right if he.discloses red,
then the thought-plus-/ictlon should
take Just under a tenth of a second.
To tell, correctly, how muny letters
there are, say. In the word "telegraph"'
should take half a second. But that
Is not a good speed. It should be but
a third. The superspeed would be a
fifth, says the Clevetaad&min.Dealer.
Mental vlsuallzatlortiantf ttie tlmnght
action should be practically Instanta
neous. Yet nine men out of ten would
take two seconds or more in dealing
with "telegraph."
Excellent tests of your mental speed
can be made with synonyms. "Disrobe
—undress," should take half of a sec
ond. A really speedy thinker would
need but a fifth. "Flexible —pliant,"
"loquacious—tulkatlve," "painstaking
—careful," are the other examples.
What Is culled "Jointed" thinking Is
good exercise, too. Ttila deals with
ordinary knowledge and Is worked
on the bell and response system. A
friend, for Instance, may say "Venice."
You have to respond with a word
I which has to do with Venice. "Shake
speare. canals," would be two re-
I sponses. A tenth of a second should
be taken —no more. Liverpool" should
j bring the flnsh of "liners."
Then there is "characteristic" think
ing. An animal Is named, and a char
acteristic must be thought of and
spoken. Donkey—ears, and r.ebra—
stripes are illustrations. All those are
tenths for a start.
The testing of speed thought Is not
a test of knowledge alt hough It may
reveal the wailt of It The idea Is ta
speed up the brain.
Someone Lost a Leg
' X patrolman In the western part
of the city, was'paclng his beat with
nothing In particular on his mind
when he chanced to notice an old
boiler in the 200 block In Booth
Missouri street, the Indianapolis News
reports. Some shadowy object Just
inside the boiler caused the cop to
hesitate and then decide to Iwmi
gate. He walked softly toward the
old holler and there, sure enaugh, be
spied a man's leg, Just Inside.
"Aha, a bum asleep for the day,"
mused the copper. He made a quick
grab at the leg. To his dismay the
leg came out of boiler easily,
but no man followed. Shortly there
after a policeman with three legs
called at police headquarters and left
his extra leg at the lost article de
partment. The artificial limb Is an
expensive one and the police are at
• a loss to know how far a one-legged
man would go before he learned bis
loss.
Indian Confederacy
The "Six Nations" a confedera
tion of Indian tribes, formerly In
habiting the central and western part
of New York state. As early as the
beginning of the Seventeenth century,
the Mohawks, Oneldas, Senecas,
('ayugas and Onondagas had formed a
league, known as the Five Nations;
but in 1712 they were Joined by the
Tusearoras, a related tribe from North
Carolina, and were thenceforth known
as the Six Nations. In 1788 the Mo
hawks and Cayugas migrated 'to
Canada, and the confederacy was dis
solved. The total noraber of the "Six
Nations" probably never exceeded
twenty-fire thousand.— Kansas City

Block Planning Makes
for Artistic Beauty
It Is seldom thut we tad a street
where the homes collectively form a
really artistic architectural plan. In
dividual examples of artistic beauty
are everywhere evident, but an entire'
block of homes built and planned for
their particular setting and In rela
tion to the other homes Is hard to find.
Many builders follow a given line-of
sameness In the exterior plan of'their;
buildings, leaving the artistic touch to
the Individual landscaping of each par
ticular location. It works out In some
instances, but not to ft degree which
could be termed a success. I
Some day a building organisation
will purchase a tract of land and de
velop the entire property In accord
ance with the proper placing of homes
tn relation to the lot and the surround
ing structures, and when this is done
It will present such a real departure
from modern subdivision development
and will meet with snch a ready re
sponse from the buying pablic that it
will be followed by many other organ
izations as good business procedure.
Church in California

Arthur Gleason, writing about Cali
fornia as the most active center of
strange new religions, In Hearst's In
ternatlooal, described 'the modem
church, "the most perfectly equipped
church In the West," as he found It in
Pasadena:
"The church Itself seats 1,700, and
the chapel seats 600. With the build
ing for religious education there are
84 rooms for class, club and office use.
Large kitchens for the social suppers,
a playground, six drinking fountains,
shower baths, eleven pianos, eleven
sewing machines, nine telephones, a
movie machine, stereoptlcons, stag#
properties for dramatics, a stage with'
footlights and dressing rooms snd a
recreational hall for roller skating.and
basketball are a few of the items in
the equipment."
