act allowing half pay during service
for the nation according to an opin
ion given by W. H. Keller, first dep- ,
uty attorney general, to George F.
L.umb, acting superintendent of State
Police.
"If they had not entered the n.il-j
itary service of the Vnited States,
they could continue on the' State >
Police force only by re-eniistm->nt. *
* * The act of June 7, 1917, docs
not purport to extend the term of
service of any officer and could r.ot
constitutionally do so," liold3 Mr. I
Keller.
In another opinion given by Mr.:
Keller it is held that when a man
has been given the maximum com- ■
pensation by the State Compensation 1
authorities for total disability re-,
suiting from loss of both eyes ho is
not entitled to an additional award
for other injuries which he suffered
besides the loss of his eyes.
Receipts Go I'll —Receipts of the (
State Highway department for au- j
tomobile licenses rose with a rush j
this week because of the demand'
usual in the last fortnight of the I
year. On one day the total receipts
were over $30,000 of which a con
siderable portion was in cash. The
bulk of the money received is in cer
tified checks.
Old Mines Worked —An interest
ing commentary upon the demand
for coal is furnished by the fact
that a number of the charters
granted for coal companies the last
three months have been for concerns
which will operate mines not used
for years. Most of the coal com
panies are chartered for the bitum
inous region and Fayette and Cam
bria lead the list.
Mr. Houck Chairman —Secretary
of Internal Affairs Paul W. Houck

DENTAIi AMBULANCE
At the beginning of the war. the
dental surgeon, so far as the Allies
were concerned, was not officially
recognized in Army circles. Indeed,
it was not until the Germans
marched into Brussels, with a dent
al post every ten kilometers, that
the Allies appreciated the impor
tance of oral hygiene.
To-day there are eleven American
dental field ambulances in France
alone. Men. who were formerly sent
home on sick leave, whose only trou
ble was their molars, are now kept
at the front. Soldiers, to the num
ber of a division and a half, have
thus been spared to the army. Fur
thermore, the surgeons Insist that a
wounded man with bad teeth makes
a slow recovery. And then, too,
army'rations are hard to masticate,
so that the man with poor teeth
"bolts" his food and loses strength
and endurance. In our new Nation
al Army there will be a dentist for
every 500 men.—Popular Science
Monthly for January.
German Aviator Tells
of Battle in Clouds
A remarkable statement appears
in the December Wide World Maga
zine by a German pilot, Second Class
Airman Haspel, whose machine was
brought down within the French
lines by Adjutant Casale and Ser
geant I,egendre, of the French Avi
ation Service. Haspel had with him
one passenger, Aviator-Lieutenant
Schultz, who had been wounded in
the arm by the gun of the French
man. Haspel's machine crashed
into a tree, though he himself es
caped injury. After accepting a
cordial from his French captors,
Haspel said: "After you hit our
radiator and wounded my passen
ger, Schultz ordered me to descend
into the French lines so that his arm
might be attended to. I refused,
whereupon he said, 'I am your su
perior, and formally order you to
go down at once. If you do not in
stantly obey you will be punished.'
I still declined and lieutenant
Schultz, mad with anger, and mas
tering the pain trom his wounds,
got up and begp.n striking me. I
avoided the blows ns much as I
could without releasing hold of ray
commands (control), for it required
all my time and attention (o keep
the machine in a state of equilibrium
for by this time the motor had
ceased running. The position was
poignant. Here was I holding on
with all my might to the levers, in
a desperate effort to save our lives,
while the lieutenant was hitting me
for disobeying his orders. Sudden
ly he put his two hands around my
neck and attempted to strangle me.
This was too much. I released hold
of the wheel and the machine began
to corkscrew to the earth. I was by
far the stronger man of the two, but
it was impossible for me to allow
the life to be choked out of me, even
though in a few minutes we might
both be killed. Happily, seeing that
we were falling: within the French
lines, you had ceased firing, but were
closely following us. I could not
shake off ScTiultz, so I hit him a vio
lent blow under the chin, causing
him to stagger back, and In the
swirling movement caused by our
corkscrew Journey downwards X was
able to throw him from me out of
the car. I am sorry to have been
obliged to kill the lieutenant, but I
was carrying out my instructions in
such circumstances to endeavor to
come down within the German
lines."
