THE BUND BULLETIN, I1KND, OREGON, KIIIUAY. MAUCII 9, 11)17 f AGE 4 ENGLAND CARES FOR ITS BABIES MUNITIONS WORKERS ARE AIDED. Children liort for Hay or Week In SHcinI Homes, While Their Moth era Work (or tho Nation at High l'uy. y J. XV. IVrUt, (Uniud Proaa Suit Corrwpondent.) BIRMINGHAM. England, March Sixteen mothers dropped In at the oftlce of a long, single-story building An their -way to work in the local munitions factories and left their babies iu the care of the matron. And that's all thero .was to the open ing ceremony of the first creche ever operated. In Birmingham. The city Is too busy making shells to pause for inaugural wind-Jamming. The need'for a public duy nursery nd boarding home for infants and '.toddlers" sprang up when hundreds -of mothers were called from their homes to back up their men-folks at the front by making shells. But In the rush of munition work people somehow let slide the welfare of the youngsters for over two years. At last the government became in terested and contributed $4000 for the establishment of the nursery. Local enterprise raised the remaining necessary $1500, and the corrugated' iron building was put together on the edge of .a park in a location ac cessible to the majority of women workers. The annual mainteance of tho creche is estimated at a little more than $9000 most of which can be defrayed by the small charge to the mothers for keeping their babies there. The institution is open to munition' ttes' children up to five years. They may be inmates by the day or remain Irom Monday morning until Satur day night, the mothers being permit ted to visit them during their daily rest periods. On Saturday evening the weekly Doaraers must oe laiteu home for the week-end. All the i tie visitors' are bathed as soon as they are admitted and the weekly plan "is urged for infants as it ob viates the erposure of daily trips and includes the advantage of regular feeding and expert attention. "Toddlers" after being bathed and dressed in overalls are turned loose to play in the nursery-rooms or the Dlay-yards while the wee ones also swap clothes for the creche uniforms and are placed in cots under the at tention of nurses. ' Munitions mothers receive high wages, so the rates, which would have been regarded as expensive in peace times, are not deemed to be out of reach of, the average worker. Rates by the day are, for one child, 24 cents add 18 cents additional for each .additional child, of the same mother.-. The Saturday rate Is 12 cents for each child. Weekly rates are $2.04 for one child,. $2.80 for two children, of the same mother; $3.36 for three and $3.72 for four. SCSOOLBOYS BECOME FEARLESS AVIATORS Youthful Birdroen in the British Bcr jrice Cool as Veterans in Aerial Work. "WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN 'THE FIELD, March 2. You remem ber the county fair? Remember the tremor of expectancy in the crowd gathered around the dingy old hot air balloon as she swelled, oh, so slowly, with the smoke and fumes of the barrel-stave fire? Will you ever forget the thrill she 'gave you as she lazily lurched Into the air, dragging with her the fellow in the darned but spangled purple tights, the parachute-jump man with C. S. HUDSON, President U. C. COE, Vice President E. A. BATHER, Vice President. The First National Bank OF BEND, BEND OREGON.

Customers doing business with this Bunk enjoy this ad ditional security, which Is of almost Inestimable value. oiled hair plastered down on his tore head? You secretly half hoped he would fall and halt feared ho would. And then, at about 1.500 feet, the aeronaut's mad leap, his dead drop of 300 or 600 feet, tho slow opening of tho parachute and tho swinging drift to tho ground: Kemomber! Supposo you had to leave your Job in the office, shop or on the farm, and begin such performances tomor row. Suppose you had to go up in a balloon, In any and all sorts of weather, to bo shot at by artillery and lunged at by hostile aircraft, Suppose you had to leap from burn ing balloons, or get tossed out of tho basket of one whllo passing through the clouds? What If America should suddenly find herself In a war and tho bill boards should say: "Your country needs you." Think you could do these things fur her? British boys are doing the little trick overy day. Yesterday they were clerking In stores, working in shops, bookkeep ing in offices or going to school. To day they arc making parachute-leaps from balloons and other more thril ling things still. Yesterday that lieutenant you find yourself taking to, was a plnk-and-whito youth at Eton preparing to go to Cambridge. Today ho considers fighting duels above the clouds with Germans as much a part of his Job as yesterday he considered calculus to be. Yesterday he was a school kid writing essays about flowers. Now he handles a machine-gun like a demon as he hurtles through the sky two miles a minute, or nose-dives after a war-hardened youth like himself whom he is trying to kill. Here's an example. The Incident occurred In the observation balloon section. Two youngsters, carrying out observations over the Gorman. de fenses, suddenly got a shell through their balloon. It began to fall, slowly at first, then faster. They were about a mile high. "We're hit and falling!" one of the observers phoned down to the ground. "The hostile gun Is at X-I22-D-62:" A moment later the second observer phoned down the position of the hostile battery which had punctured them, but gave the position slightly different. Then both boys jumped. Their parachutes opened about the same distance down and, not more than 50 feet apart, they were wafted earthward together. "I'm sorry to note," said the com pany commander as they entered the hut serving as balloon section tele- Dnone central. "that you two gentle- men failed to agree on the location of the hostile battery which brought you down." And though there was a twinkle in his eyes, his voice was severe. "Sorry, sir," one of the young offi cers reDlied with a smart salute, "but perhaps our error was due to the ob servations being taken at different altitudes." Throughout the British army one finds boyish-looking offi cers. And they have again and again proved themselves up like this, when the pinch has come. Two other young officers while at an altitude of about 4,000 feet found themselves caught In a windstorm be fore they could be hauled down. Just before reaching earth a violent gale hit the balloon, which pulled the winch on the ground completely over, snapping the wire cable. The sauBage went up and off among the clouds like a bubble in a whirlwind. At a tremendous height, the bal loon was struck by lightning and set on fire, throwing one of the. officers out of the basket. His parachute opened but as the balloon, now fall ing like a rock, bad its rigging hangl ed up with the lower cords of tho parachute, the latter began descend ing' at frightful velocity through the storm clouds. The officer might have cut the balloon lose, making his own escape a certainty, but he would have doomed his brother offi cer to certain death. So he refrained preferring to take the millionth chance along with the other man. The velocity of the fall extinguish ed the fire which had burned a great hole in the balloon and wind, get ting in through this opening, caused the fabric to swell out thus forming a parachute of itself. The ground was reached with a thud which broke a collar-bone or two but both young men walked to the nearest dressing station where they "reported" before receiving first aid. E. M. LARA, Cashier L.
