The Chance Dropping of Bombs Causes Germans to Surrender. London, May 18. Surrender of a German force of 3,000 men in East Africa was due to the chance dropping of a number of bombs by a British airman, according to a report from Capetown, which says: "An officer of the Flying Corps n. your ungentle habits" Which judge!" he aeked in an awe-stricken voice.

Headquarters Central Detachment is a wonderful collection of men, the cheeriest of sportsmen the most unselfish of comrades. Every night each week the section paces the gronnds of Buckingham palace. They are the king's special police guard and many stories are told which may or may not be vero. It is said that King George, when he takes his morning walk through the grounds, can always tell what detachment was on duty the night before, by the quality of eigur stubs which the gardener finds.

Photographs also will be taken of the sky in the region of the sun in search of any stray comet and also of the mythical planet Vulcan, which some astronomers have asserted has its orbit so close to the sun that it can be seen only during an eclipse. The existence, of such a planet is doubted by most astronomers, however. Besides th? staff from Yerkes observatory, other astronomers are planning to work at the Denver observatory.

Among them are Prof. A. V. Turner of the College of the City of Xew York, Professor Schlcssinger of Allecheny observatorv, Professor Jleifield of Dennison Universitv and Tmfessor Moore of the United States Bureau of Mines. 1 2A eclipse of the sun forecast to occur on June 8 has been postponed for one hour.

This is not the result of any error in the calculations of the as tronomers nor is it due to an order by modern Joshua that the sun stand still, but is chargeable to the operations of the daylight saving law as a Tesult of which the clocks through out the United States were set fur-ward an hour on March lil.

The same variation in the hours of the eclipse will prevail throughout the length of 50 mile belt, extending from the southeastern cor ner of Washington state to the coast of Florida, in which the total eclipse will be visible.

y. U. V. is fairly heavy. The members arc heavily engaged in the day, a large proportion are doing excellent war work in addition to their police duties and the calls which are made upon them, particularly now that the gentle German has started daylight air raids, imposes a very heavy strain on the men, many of whom havo passed middle age.

Go into anv of the clubs that fill Pall Mall and Piccadilly at 7 o'clock in the evening and you are certain to find a few of them making their hasty dinner before falling in for polico duty. You can see them rushing west from their offices. I have seen them flying down from to whither business has cafl-ed them in order to perform their tour of duty and to return by the train which leaves London at daylight to their interrupted work in the north.

This also is an experience vouched for by certain members of Headquarters Detachment, though again I cannot speak at first hand, for all the taxi drivers I have met have done no the London special police they are "somebodies." For myself, I have never quite understood how I secured admission to this remarkable detachment. Tt has been said that I have black-msilt'd my way into the most exclusive section of the corps by threatening to write articles about the people who composed it. I have a dim recollection of once writing to the commander In chief and complaining that a WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS OF HOT WATER health system which he followed with success had nearly been the death of me when I had followed his rules, and ending up by nsking him what he was GIRLS! BEAUTIFY YOUR Why We Don't Deal in "Special Discount" Tires "W-QI one tPs Good year Service Station Dealers listed below deals in "special discounts" or like fictitious atf tractions to induce our customers to buy. We know that such practices are bad business both for ourselves and for our patrons; that they undermine confidence, and that they almost invariably result in dissatisfaction and disappointment for both parties. We sell tires of the highest quality only, at a price based on their actual value and including a legitimate margin which will enable us to give the helpful service necessary to secure maximum mileage from such tires.

We know that tires of lesser quality, or lack of the kind of service with which we follow every would in the end cost our customers far more than they pay now. When a dealer offers you a "special discount" to get you to buy a tire, you may fairly oe sure that he is doing one of two things. Either he is offering you a tire on which he, himself, gets a special discount from its maker, or he is withholding from you the helpful and intelligent service that every good tire should have. In the one case the quality of the tire is lowered at its source by compromised manufacture; in the other the tire is handicapped in its capacity for service by neglect. It will pay you to remember these things the next time you are offered a "special discount" on a tire, or any similar inducement which looks like something for nothing.

Indistinguishable one from the other in their neat uniffirm, it is only after a while that you 'begin, to recognize the familiar face of the men.
