Experience sug. gests as a reasonable estimate that for every machine lost in combat two were put out of service by accidents and unrecorded victories. . This does not include training losses usually estimated at 15 per cent per month.

This was a quiet litt1® sideturning of an old world and digni. fhed type, with houses of Georgian period. Boni let himself into one of these nouses, and a self opcrated lift took him to the second floor, where by opening his own front door with a key, he stepped into the small hall of his quarters which formed the upp®t malsonsette. "Tha; you, sir?" he WAS greeted by a startled voice from within one of the rooms, his entrance having been SO quiect as to have taken by surprise the man servant, suddenly appearing in fron; of him. A PRIVILEGED SERVANT It was cool and pleasant in her, after the glare and heat outsitde. The windows, which were open, were shad. ed by awnings, and the sills had flowerboxes gay with bloom.
