Flyers Return to Train Men.
Experienced flyers are being re-
turned from abroad to act as special
instructors in the more advanced
courses of aviation training.
“Recent practice in elemental train-
ing now gives the candidate more
time in the air with his instructor
than heretofore,” states the anounce-
ment. “The new plan is known as the
gosport system, or ‘all through’ as it
is popularly known in Washington,
and insures closer contact between the
cadet and the instructor.”
When the cadets arrive at a flying
field from a ground school where they
have learned much of the theory of
flight, several are assigned to an in-
structor, who stays with them until
they have qualified in elemental fly-
ing. They are then sent to special
schools for final work and training in
their particular line.
“The old practice of turning a ca-
det loose for his first solo flight in a
sink or swim fashion is being discon-
uma the War Department states.

Pershing Pays Tribute to 28th.
The Allied victory which followed
the smashing of the German offensive
on the Marne, in which the Ameri-
cans figured, “marked the turning
point of the war,” General Pershing
declares in a general order made pub-
lic on Wednesday. The American
commander pays a high tribute to
the work of the American division
which participated in the hottest
fighting in the Marne region. The
first, second, third, fourth, twenty-
sixth, twenty-eighth,» thirty-second
and forty-second divisions received
honorable mention. “They came to
the battlefield at the crucial hour of
Ye. Allied cause,” the general order
states.
Meaning of Bolsheviki.
The curious Russian word, with its
ominous combination of alphabetical
symbols, has found its way across the
Atlantic ocean and into the columns
of the American press. This, how-
ever, is not strange, for the American
newspapers are the storehouses of a
great many curiosities.
The average newspaper reader may
have wondered what this word really
means.and could guess at it only from
the character bestowed upon these
Bolsheviki by the press. But if he
analyzes the word he will find it per-
fectly harmless.
Then there is the pronunciation.
The word bolsheviki is the plural of
bolshevik. The singular pronounces
bol-she-vik, with the accent on the
bol. The plural has the accent on the
she, bol-she-viki. In English the pro-
nunciation may be given as bol-shay-
veekee. The final syllable has almost
as much accent as the one before it.
This change of accent occurs also in
English, when another syllable is add-
ed to a word. In this way we say an-
imate and ani-ma-ton, analyze and
anal-ysis.
Bolsheviki is composed of° two
parts, the bolsh, which comes from
bolshoi, meaning many, just as men-
shoi means few. Bolshoi is the equiv-
alent of the Latin multi, many, and
the Russian root bol and the Latin
root mul have the same significance.
The ending, vik—plural viki—indi-
cates the superlative. Just as we say
great, greatest, so the Russians say
bolshoi, bolsheviki. The oi is chang-
ed to e for the sake of euphony.
It cannot be said that the Russian
language is what you may call popu-
lar in America. This unpopularity is
due to the formidable array of letters
which compose the words of that lan-
guage—in other words, to our unfa-
miliarity with these combinations of
letters.
This may be illustrated by citing
the case of the fortress Przemysl, the
pronunciation of which caused all
kinds of comment in the press at the
time that city was in the limelight.
Yet, when looked into more closely,
it becomes simple enough. The rz
has the sound of the English sh.
When it is considered that letters are
arbitrary symbols which are used to
indicate certain sounds of a language
the use of rz for the sh sound is just
as reasonable as that of any other
combination of consonants. If school
children had been taught to spell
shoot, shout, shave, shiver in the Pol-
ish way—rzoot, rzout, rzave, rziver—
they would take that spelling as a
matter of course. So it is, after all,
a matter of familiarity with the ap-
pearance of words that makes the
difference. = Americans cannot all
have Russian grammars available to
look up the sounds of the letters of
the Russian alphabet.
The fact is that the English lan-
guage is not scot-free in this respect.
Russians who have tackled the Eng-
lish language complain bitterly about
the difficulties in the spelling, accus-
ing us of using in some cases one hun-
dred per cent. more letters than are
needed to spell a word. They point
to the word though, which could be
and is being spelled tho. They can-
not understand why we should go out
of our way six letters in spelling a
word when three would do as well.
As to the political significance of
the word, as understood and used at
the present time, this depends entire-
ly upon the point of view. Since
bolsheviki, in the superlative, means
the greatest number, or, more broad-
ly, the masses, it may be translated
into the people, the populace, the
mob, the prolatariate or any other
name of similar meaning that might
appeal to the literary taste of the in-
dividual reader. The bolsheviki are
just now busily occupied at home and
will not have time to worry over what
people several thousand miles away
think of them when their own fellow
citizens keep them awake at night.
There is just one more explanation
to be added regarding the meaning of
the word. The final syllables, vik-i,
express, as has been shown, the su-
perlative, and in that sense may also
express the extreme. The bolsheviki
are, therefore, called the maximalists,
or extremists, in contradistinction to
the minimalists or conservatives.
The maximalists represent just now
the revolutionary majority of the
people, the masses; the minimalists
stand for the minority, as the word
indicates. There is, however, a dis-
tinction in the application of the
words bolsheviki and maximalist. A
bolshevik is always a maximalist, but
a maximalist is not neeessarily a bol-
shevik. The word maximalist is gen-
eral in its meaning and application,
while bolshevik has a restricted party
sense. This can be explained more
clearly by examining the party names
in the United States. The United
States is a democracy, therefor every
citizen is a democrat or a maximal-
ist. A republican is a democrat as a
citizen of our democracy, or a maxi-
malist, but as a republican he is also
a party man or a minimalist, just as
a democrat is such either in the broad
national sense or in the restricted
party meaning.
We, therefore, read in the newspa-
pers about bolshevik and maximalist
members of the Russian duma. As
such they are mere party members,
although their general policies may
be the same.—Ex.

To my devoted wife, Grace E. Se-
rumgard, who has given two of her
sons to the service of our common
country to save our common Christian
civilization, I dedicate this American
version of Wennerberg’s magnificent
apostrophe to his own beloved coun-
try, Norway.
Women and War.
Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, who was
recently sentenced to ten years in
prison for sedition and now out on
bail, has been nominated by the So-
cialists of New York city as a candi-
date for the Assembly from the Tenth
district.
Under the new franchise law giv-
ing everyone who has lived in Ire-
land six months, the right to vote,
will enable thousands of women to
assert their rights with the ballot at
the coming elections in that country.
Returning fom college and finding
her father’s deputy in the army, Miss
garet McCord, of Seymour, Ind., de-
cided to take the job and was imme-
diately sworn in as deputy sheriff to
assist her father in his duties.
Mrs. Hazel Drew, of Allston, Mass.,
has the distinction of being the first
woman since the establishment of the
British and Canadian recruiting mis-
sion in the United States to pass the
physical examination for service in
the woman’s royal air force.
Miss Bessie Townsend, of Atlantic
City, has been elected vice president
of the National Association of Comp-
trollers and Accounting Officers. She
is the only woman comptroller in the
United States, having held this posi-
tion in her home city for several
years.
Generals in the German army are
afraid of the influence of women and
have therefore banned them from tak-
ing any part in the warfare at the
front. This is just the opposite of
what is allowed by the allies, for they
realize the worth of women and allow
them to do all kinds of work on the
war front.
The Tons You Eat.
The Millennium Guild takes the
daily average of half a pound of meat
eaten by each inhabitant of the Unit-
ed States and finds that in 50 years
the average meat eater consumes four
tons and a half, or, to put it in anoth-
er way, this average person, at the
end of 50 years, has eaten enough tons
of meat to be the equivalent of 6 beef
cattle, 15 calves, 22 sheep, 40 lambs,
10 hogs, 100 turkeys, 200 chickens and
ducks, one deer, besides pigeons and
small birds a goodly number. What
a slaughter-house we have made out
of the world! Yet two-thirds of the
population of the globe, it is estimat-
ed, never eat meat. Among these lat-
ter are millions of study, healthy toil-
ers. We also know that the horse, the
ox, the elephant—strongest of our an-
imal workers, build their strength on
grasses and cereals.
——There are nearly three million
adults in the United States who do
not speak English, yet the President
says we must all speak together. To
this end an organization of women,
known as the Neighbors’ League, asks
each American woman to annex one
neighbor, to whom she will render the
service of teaching the English lan-
guage, either personally or by proxy.
The Helping
Hand---Goldine
Goldine goes right to the seat of
the trouble, in cases of chronic, se-
vere and mild attacks of stomach
trouble, and in considering the ingre-
dients, which are compounded under
the exacting conditions, it seldom
fails in bringing great relief to many
people. A few among the many sim-
ple but nevertheless efficient herbs,
berries, barks, etc., used in this prep-
aration are, Life Everlasting, Bear
Berries, Dandelion, Celery Seed, Ju-
niper Berries, Red Clover Blossoms,
Seven Barks, and Grape Root.
Compounded in the proper way this
makes one of the most wonderful
nerve tonics, which has, and is today
working miracles for troubles eonsid-
ered incurable. Every one knows
that the medicine that has helped such
severe troubles as neuritis, epilepsy,
St. Vitus, and locomotor, can surely
do great things in more moderate
conditions. To prove to the people of
Bellefonte that it is all it claims to be
just give it a trial for a reasenable
length of time to prove its merits.
The efficiency of Goldine is seldom
questioned.

| Bodies of Dead Soldiers Will be

Washington, September.—Ameri-
cans who lose their lives in the war
abroad will be buried there only tem-
porarily. Where identification is pos-
sible the bodies will be placed in
marked graves, to be taken up when
the war is over and brought home.
This plan of the War Department
was disalosed a few days ago by the
publication’ of articles of agreement
between the army and navy regard-
ing the transportation of sick and
wounded from overseas. A section
of the agreement says:
“The remains of all officers, enlist-
ed men and civilian employees who
have died or will hereafter die in
France will be buried in France until
the end of the war, when the remains
shall be brought back to the United
interment. Such
cemeterial facilities as the army may
have acquired in France shall be
available to the navy. The remains
of all officers, enlisted men and civil-
ian employees who die on ships en
route to and from the United States,
shall be embalmed and returned to
Medical.
Stop that Ache!
Don’t worry and complain about a
bad back. Get rid of that pain and
lameness! Use Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Many Bellefonte people have used
them and know how effective they
are. Here’s a Bellefonte case. :
Mrs. Katie Capani, 224 S. Alleghe-
ny St., says: “For about a year I
suffered almost constantly from pains
in my back. I had soreness across my
loins and my kidneys were not act-
ing properly. The trouble affected
my sight and I could hardly read.
Doan’s Kidney Pills were brought to
my attention and as I had heard that
they had done a lot of good for oth-
ors I got a box. The first few doses
relieved me of the awful pain in my
back and I continued until I was en-
tirely relieved. I have taken several
boxes of Doan’s since and they have
bent my kidneys in good working or-
er.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
