TRUE WAR STORIES TOLD BY ( SOLDIERS INJRANCE-SAMiMIE

A Teur Adventure of the r-i..:- . . Royal ) Stories of daring escapades of British aviators, exciting aerial combats from which the air-fight

ers escaped alive seemingly only b miracle, and of brilliantly executed raids upon German a ii domes and troops behind the German lines are activities of about one week. Hair-raising incidents of fierce conflict a&ove the clouds or low over the German communication line are described In these succinct reports without bombast, as though these narrow escapes from death were commonplace ami all In a day's work, of the air-fighter. .For example, there was the case of a British; aviation officer who, when nearly a mile above, the earth -'- was attacked by. two enemy aircraft. He shot down one. of them out of control, ' but was . himself wounded and fainted while still up in the air. ' Recovering consciousness, he found his machine upside down at an elevation of 4,000 feet, with one enemy aircraft still firing at him. . The BriUsher, however, managed after a struggle, to right hia machine and land safely. , In another case a German scout attacked a British aeroplane carrying a pilot and observer. One of the German's bullets passed through the gasoline tank of " the British aeroplane and seriously wounded the pilot. The British observer, however pumped a double

drum of bullets at the enemy scout at very close quarters and the. German went fb the ground with n , Meanwhile the ..British pilot had fainted and fallen against the steerlnr stick in such a fashion as to throw the aeroplane into a spin. The British observer climbed-over the side and ; forward along the plane to the pilot's cockpit, lifted the pilot to his seat and, still standing on the wing of the plane, re- - leased the steering 'gear, brought the machine out of the spin, -and safely to the ground. ; . At another time two British officers were returning from an expedition over the enemy lines to locate hostile batteries, when their machine was hit by anti-craft, fire and the engine damaged. Volplaning .the machine, landing 30 yards from the, British lines, the aero- " plane turned over and the aviators , were hurled out on the German side of -a canal: Running along the beach under heavy fire from rifles and machine guns, the aviators dived into the canal only, to find it full of barbed wire, ; but managed to reac6the British lines in safety. In other cases it showt the daring of the British aviators sent over the German lines to obtain in formation, destroy ' aerodonies and harry the German reserves. One pilot who crossed the line at.Ypres, threw off two attacking machines, bombed the Heul aerodrome .near Lille, and was fired upon by two machine guns. He dived at one of them, firing both guns of the Brit ish aeroplane, drove the Germans from their guns, fired upon the ae odome again, attacked and scat tered a' column of 200 infantrymen on the road. A German two-seater aeroplane was circling 500 -feet above him for an attack. He loomed up under its tail and fired Into it and It crashed down onto the railway. Georges Clemenceau's Speech t$ the A.

One day I asked Aunt Poliy why she could not print the pictures we sent in and she said that they had to be made of lead before they were printed and they would cost you 25 cents a square inch as they have them made at some engraving company in Cincinnati or Indianapolis or some place else, so I thought I'd find out and tell you how they are made. Cuts and Halftones, or the Pictures The first pictures known of were cut on wood blocks. First they drew the picture on the block and then they cut away all that they did not want to show, on the paper. This method was. used until after the Civil war. The half-tones were invented about 40 years ago when a man was trying to make a plate for United States money that couldn't be counterfeited. The picture to be produced is photographed. On the Inside of the camera in front of the film plate is a fine screen that breaks the picture into little lines and dots. Jn fine pictures like jthe one used in books and. magazines,- these are so fine you cannot see; them without a microscope but-they are there. After the picture has been photographed, it is printed on cop-i per or zinc and then the little spaces between the lines and detai are eaten away with strong acid. The pari, tlfe acid eats away shows white when the picture is printed. After, the white parts of the cut are eaten away or etched as the engravers say. the plate is tacked to a block and then it is ready to be printed. The halftones are the engravings that look like photographs and are made direct from photographs or painted pictures. Sometimes for

Ag,t4r6!cjock'eyery Monday afternoon 1 members of the Live Wire Baptist Sunday school class and their teacher, Mr. John Cox, who reayMs,ju$t a boy too, go to the li.jlLc. A. 'building and spend the aftcrnodA on the gymnasium floor and in the Swimming pool. ' -4 Palladium is Made use in catalogues, they are made directly from the goods itself. The picture has to be broken in lines'io- it will take the ink from the- press rollers. The halftones printed -f in s newspapers are made with ;a-coarser screen so they will print on coarse paper. You can easily see the lines in this case. It takes xnert workmen to make engravings, and engravings are expensive. Most "Cuts," as is the newspaper term for pictures that are made iu a simpler way than halftones, are made at engraving houses that do nothing else. ' Big newspapers in cities like Indianapolis, Dayton and Cincinnati, have their own engraving plants, but a city the Bize of Richmond cannot afford one. There are companies that make "cuts" and sell molds called matrices to other papers Just like Associated Press sells news. -It is In this way that The Palladium gets some of the pictures that it prints, besides the news pictures, cartoons, funny pictures, and advertising cuts are bought the same way. The "mats" are made of paper and cost very little. The "cuts" are molded in lead by the stereotypers in the Palladium shop. ' In this way it costs very little. To have a picture taken of things here at home, the Junior Palladium editor would have to send the photographs to some city to an engraving house and hate a specia.1 "cut" made, which would cost about twentyfive cents a square( inch. The engraving houses charge two dollars and a half, even, if it is Jess, than ten laches. fio It is easy to see Why Aunt Polly can not print pictures that Juniors draw end that we want-hcr to priat for vis. f Look' for.
