for action. 1t may be that, with
chauffeurs controlled by the military
authorities and subject to military
discipline, the machines will make a
better showing, but that of course is
mere conjecture.
During the tests one of the ma
chimes was out of commission IL out
of the first 10 days, while in the last
period of ten days it was not avail.
able more than half of the time. One
of the machines was still out of COM
mission when we left Pine Plains
Wednesday, and the chauffeur re,
ported that it would probably require.
two days more before the machine
would be ready to start for New
York.
I'm the old days the automobile
might have been more of a success,
but under present conditions, when
an army in the field is going by day
and night, the availability of the ma.
chine should be continuous, and the
automobile does not fill that bill The
machine we had at Pine Plains ap-
parently seemed to have the power
necessary to climb hills, but when it
tried to climb the Hogback eminence,
on top of which were the division
headquarters, it was unable to make
the ascent.
1.-THE tests showed that the field of
the automobile was practically limited
to two roads through the reservation,
one from De Ferret to Great Bend
and the other to Sterlingville, and
neither of these roads was billy. Then
when we struck the sandy pixies that
made Pine Plains so famous, we
sometimes had to get out and push
In time of trouble, whatever you are
on or in, you must keep going, and
going fast. On such occasions there
is no time to be lost in pushing.
so far as these tests showed, the
automobile is practically failure, and
the horse is in no danger of being
supplanted by it. The motorcycle
tests were not directly under the su.
pervision of Capt. Johnson and my.
self. However, l understand that the
enlisted men were easily trained to
handle them, and that although they
were in constant use for delivering
messages in the camp, on the terrain,
and even as far as Watertown. the
machines behaved beautifully. The
motorcycle, it appears, is success"

ST. CHARLES, MO-, OUTRAGE
WIDOW BRUTALLY TREATED BY
GANG OF MEN.
Left on Doorstep in Pitiable Condi-
tion-Officers Searching for
the Perpetrators.

st. Charles, Mo-, Aug. 15.-Sheriff
Hines of st. Charles county and the
police of this city, assisted by armed
citizens, were Thursday night scour-
ing the country in this vicinity for
the youths who last Saturday night
dragged Mrs. Catherine Sucker, SO
years old, a widow, from her bed and
carried her more than mile away to
deserted locality. Mrs. Sucker, be-
reft of reason and suffering from con-
cussion of the brain, is in the county
hospital as a result of her experience.
She is not expected to recover.
Moaning incoherently, her clothes
torn into shreds and bleeding from
numerous wounds, the woman was
found early Sunday morning lying
on the doorstep of residence at 4O3
Morgan street, where she had been
left by her assailants following the
attack. In a dazed way she told of
the treatment she had received and
then lapsed into Inconsistencies.
The occupants of the Morgan street
house took the injured woman into
their homes and cared for her, think
ing she was but slightly hurt. In
stead, Mrs. Sucker grew worse
steadily. At times she became VIC
lently insane. Thursday afternoon the
police were notified and she was re-
moved to the city hospital where her
condition is reported as being critical.
The police believe Mrs. Sucker was
the victim of men who attended
dance Saturday night given in a hall
near her home. These men, who
were intoxicated, the police say, left
the dance hall shortly after midnight
and proceeded in the direction OF Mrs.
Suckers residence.
The names of the men who were
in the gang are said to be known to
the authorities and it is believed their
arrest is but a question of time.

DIRECTIONS FOR ATTRACTING

DESTROY THE SPARROWS

1t would be grateful to the writer of
these few summer articles upon birds
to know that his words stimulate in
terest enough to induce readers to
welcome the birds to their homes.
Whether you live in city or country
you may have the birds as compan-
ions If you will but prepare for them
the houses in which they like to dwell,
or see to it that conditions of sur
roundings of yard, garden or orchard
are made congenial. Something Of
this has been said in a previous ar
ticle, but the attempt will be here to
give specific directions for the attract
ing and holding of our tuneful friends.
1t may be a shock to some of our hui
manitarians when it is said that the
first necessary step of preparation for
securing robin, wren, bluebird, oriole,
martin and other feathered neighbors
IS the getting rid of the companion
ship of the pestiferous English spar
row, the unspeakable feathered pirate,
the avian rat" of our domestic life.
Call him what you will there is no
term too harsh and no name which in
the description of his utter worthless
ness and savagery can go beyond the
bounds of truth.
I have seen the English sparrow kill
our native birds; have seen him rob

Cost of Muddy Dav.

1t has been calculated that the cost
of a muddy day in London is some
hing like $4,000, which is not sur
prising when one remembers that no
less than 80 tons of mud is carried
about from place to place on the
wheels of carts and carriages and
horses hoofs. After a wet day mud
brushed from peoples clothing
amounts to Is tons, and a very similar
amount is shaken out of doormats.
City mud, however. has it's good points.
The shoeblack increases his earnings
in the muddy weather, and new silk
hats and dresses and boots and shoes
are each and all the direct outcome of
its destructive qualities.
