Of these raids French made 250, British 190, and between them 180 in Macedonia. French aviators shot down 450 en- emy machinee., British 250, while French destroyed 40 balloons and llrit- ish 27, Roumanian balloons and aero- planes were brought down by anti- iilrcraft guns. ~ Record by months showed continual improvement in French aviators until had weather started.

BREADS CURIOUSLY USED Strangely Made and Different In Each Country Every nation has a. bread that is typically its own. in one oat flour is used, in another wheat or rice or cassava, and the shape varies from the disc-like Scandinavian hard-tack that has a. hole at the contre for con- venience in packing them away on poles in the farmhouses to our own plump brown loaves that come out of the oven lu the well known forin. The bread of the Balkans, curiously made in the form of chains, is sold from the arms and necks of itinerant ped- lsrs. In tent life in Balkania the detached links are often used for fun at quoits, or serve a more useful pur- pose in suspending temporary curtains and awnings. Then when the camp- ers run out o fprovisions they literally eat their curtain rings! The Japan- ese bamboo bread, so named from its shape, is a somewhat similar pro- duct. lt is sliced and sold in strings. One of the strangest of biscuits comes from Russia. It is known as iIt~the- mouth biscuit, and besides being mucll appreciated as a tea biscuit is quite commonly used by merchants ignorant of the three r's as a make- shift abacus in counting money--a lower string of ten serving for co- pecks, and an upper string of the same number representing roubles. More picturesque still is its usage as an sxtempore ring for marrying poor peasants with whom the gold ring iii backing. ` ' BLAME BERRY PICKERS For Forest Fires in Settled Parts of Canada Many causes are responsible for Co.na.da’s heavy forest fire losses. Some of the erstwhile greatest offen- ders have come to realize the de- struction whlch their negligence was causing and have developed syste- matic measures to overcome the loss. Several causes of forest fires have not, however, received suillcient at- tention. Dr. C. D. Howe states that dn the settled areas, one of the chief classes of persons responsible for _lures are berry-pickers.
