Me had not proceeded far when the train came tearing along, whistling as it neared a station. A young Yorkshire man named Donald Simpson Bell was a school- teacher at Harrogate, and a footballer. He was a leader of young men in the Harrogate district at school. and in the army it was the same. He was just a big boy in his play and in his relations to others outside his work. During an attack, in a heavy enfilade fire, he crept up a communication trench, followed by two men, rushed ucrosa the open under heavy fire, shot the machine gunner. destroyed the Run and personnel with bombs, saving many lives and insuring the success of the attack. For this he got the VA'. lie lost his life fwe days later in u -ivnilai~ act oi bravery. l I When King George was at the front (recently, Private Thomas Turnbull, of the Worcester Regiment, was called out of the trenches to be spoken to by the King. Writing home to his mother he said, subsequently: "I can- not tell what passed. I trembled all over." A few tlays later in the middle of fierce fighting he remained with his wounded offieer for three hours under continuous fire from machine guns and bombs, and, although at one time completely cut off, he held his ground and finally carried the officer into the British lines. He was ai, painter and paperhanger by trade,' and an enthusiastic cyclist. One of the new V.C.'s. Private; Veale, of the Devonshire Regiment] once earned a reward for valor in civil ' life. On the battlefield, Vealc coolly; went out to a wounded oMeer, who; was lying in growing corn within; fifty yards of the enemy, dragged him l to a shell hole, went back for water,: returned, went back again and: brought assistance. and after seven] i attempts covered an approaching en-, emy patrol with a Lewis gun and sav- , ed the officer. ! "He was a great believer in keeping cool. They called him a plodder, and when he played football he suffered from "lack of devil." Once he gave a good hiding to a bigger fellow who had fouled him four times very badly. lie was a silent man and there was nothing in his life to suggest that he was anything more than a very re- spcctahle, hard-working paper-mill laborer." But this is what he did: "Ordered to take an important mes- sage under heavy shell and rifle fire and bring back a reply at all costs, he succeeded in spite of a gaping wound in hia abdomen, which he compressed with his hand, Ind falling dead at the feet of the other to whom he deliver.. ed the message." "Ye needna whistle for me!" said Take the case of Private James Miller, v.c., of the Royal Lancashire Regiment, of whom it is said: But it is curious to note that near- ly all of them seem to have had a spice of the English love of games in their natures-the games in which they learned to be fearless of physi- cal danger and careful only for the achievements of, what they had in view. _ Material is being accumulated in lEngland to enable students of nation- al characteristics to work on many engrossing lines of thought which the development of the war has revealed,‘ and an attempt is being made to: trace the life histories of men who} have especially distinguished them- selves by brewery with the idea of learning something of the psychology. which counts so heavily in the stressI of fhthtintr. Between the men who i have gained the V.C. by fhrhtintti Zeppelins in the air and the simple boy hero of H. M. B.

Others were quiet-living . working..; class folk before the war. i The statement announcing the num- ber of those who hove -won the V.C. recited some of the gallant deeds for which the medal w“ awarded. Not a few men have lived to wear the de- corations; to others, it was awarded posthumously for acts that cost them their lives.

"Don't you know that when you go into a saloon to get a drink you are setting boys , bad example?" The increasing demand comes from workmen who use the bicycle for go- ing to and from work, from boys and girls using them for pleasure and for going to and from school, from coun- try and village boys using them for getting about quickly. One manufac- turer is authority for the statement that fully one-half of the growing de- mand comes from country districts, where the country lads and young men find the bicycle a mighty handy machine with which to get to town and back quickly and easily. As a "fad†the bicycle has gone for ever; as an article of exceptional utility it i, forging into popular favor, where it will probably remain permanently. In Canada the rejuvenation of the bicycle is equally marked, nearly 100,000 machines being manufactured and sold during 1916. This is practi- cally a doubling up on the sales of 1915, and but for the shortage of labor and tubing the number would have been still further increased. The outlook for 1917 is exceptionally bright and orders from the trade are already booked for Spring delivery which breaks all previous records for a like period. This output will be within hailing distance of the record bicycle produc- tion reached in the years 1895-97, when bicycles were turned out at the rate of over 1,200,000 per annum. i Charles II. began the collection, but (the bulk of the original library was lhanded over to the British Museum gby George IV William IV. then ‘brought together at Windsor the books that remained in the various _ royal palaces. He left them, however, ‘in a hisrtrledy-pigeledy state, and the (Prince Consort evolved order out of ‘chaos. King Edward continued the igood work, and now King George in icompleteing it. The Wall Street Journal the other day drew attention to the fact that this year has Been the return of the bicycle to popular favor, and to satisfy the renewed demand the manufacturers in the US. this year put out 600,000 bicycles, compared with 300,000 in 1915. More "bikes" would have been made this year ex- cept for the shortage of tubing and of labor. The doubling of production compared with 1915 has not satisfied the demand, and the slogan among the manufacturers for 1917 is "1,000,- 000 bicycles." I A young officer of the Guards, Ga, that when he was sitting in lthe library a phantom female figure {passed him and disappeared into the thickness of the walls. His state- ,ment created a sensation in the castle, ;because the library is supposed to be fhaunted by the ghost of Queen ' Elizabeth. Manufacturers in Canada and United States Have Produced 700,000 Compared With 350,000 in 1915. The library is largely used by of- fieers on duty at the castle, so the occupants of the Equerries' Room, where they are entertained, will be delighted with the new war section. A story of the great library is still told in the Equerries' Room. The request for regimental records which the librarian, Mr. Fortescue, is now making will enormously increase the collection', historical value. A Section for Regimental War " cords is Being Added. King George is constantly improv- ing the great library at Windsor Castle. The library has grown to its present tremendous proportions out of a series of smaller rooms added by successive Sovereigns from time to time. King George’s contributions and improvements, even thus early in his reign, are‘as notable as those of any of his predecessors.

Coul- " At the last minute, however,' his Mnjesty was forced to cancel the en- gagement, and a local notability was hastily substituted; but the managers of the ttthrir thought it only right to notify ticket purchasers that royalty would not be present. Presently a small boy who was to take part in the parade came along with a réquest for two tickets for his parents. He was told of the dis- aispointment in store for them. When the King was in Scotland re- cently he promised to review a boys' brigade. A visual steering indicator is pri- marily depended upon to guide the submarine, but telephones are con- neeted with the microphones, to be used when occasion arises. With their aid, one underwater sound can be dis- tinguished from another and be inter- prvtcd correctly. A tramp steamer may be mierophonieally distinguished from a Mauretania, a torpedo boat from a superdreadnought, and, above all, a subsurface craft from a surface craft. Thus you can tell the character of an unseen ship while it is still I long distance off. Hand'- Luna-m gm. 0.21" In Cow. Although it is perfectly feasible to direct a submarine by telephone, it is', much more effective to convert the microphone vibrations into visuali sounds. As a result, the commander: of a submarine has only to watch al finger move over a dial in order tol know what course he should steer. In 1 a sense, he sees the sound that thei microphone detectors hear. i If the submarine is not pointed head-on toward the ship it means to attack, the microphones on the off- side will receive fewer vibrations than the others, and the difference in the volume of sound received by the two microphone detectors will be observed at once by the telephone receivers. The commander will then change his course until he hears equally well with both eurpieces. In describing the process in Popular Science Monthly, he guys: In the mod- ern telephone the transmitter is es- sentially a microphone, and the pres- sure of the sound waves is communi- cated to the conductors by means of a diaphragm. The submarine, equipped for battle under the sea, is provided with microphones on the port and starboard bows. Telephones enable the submarine commander to listen to the sounds gathered by the micro- phones. Microphones. or Electrical Ears, For Submnrines. Although the submarine is blind after it dives, it can be made to hear with the aid of microphones, or elec- trical ears. Mr. Edward F. Chand- ler, an inventor who has made a study of submarine problems, has invented a method by which he believes a sub.. merged craft may direct its course toward a hostile ship. l Thousands of thankful mothers lthroughout Cantra--many of them l your own neitrhbors---apetrk with the ‘greatest praise of that splendid medi- cine, Baby's Own Tablets.

"The offenders who are sentenced to the punishment called by some 'crucifixion' generally feel more acute- ly the ridicule of their comrades than the physical discomfort experienced. It may be taken for granted that whatever disciplinary measures the army authorities adopt are only those for very good reasons considered highly desirable in the interests of discipline."
