AWFUL DESTRUCTION IN FRENCH VILLAGE
Most Unexpected Things In- cOngruously Associated in
 Debris-Littered Streets

Paris, February 25.--(Correspondence of the Associated Press .)-Describing some of the scenes of destruction he found in the wake of the war in the village of B." a chasseur, Rene Genton writes:
 Horror and disgust are mingled with pity for those who will come back some day from refuge. to find all this destruc- tion in the place of their comfortable fire- sides On the floor of one dismantled homestead there was an important fam fly paper twisted and halft burnt, hav- ing served to light a pipe a cigarette or a cigar. In the same building, on a bed under layer of plaster detached from the ceiling, was found the carbonized form of human being evidently that of an aged man, still awaiting sepulchre Through great gaping holes in the stone walls furniture is seen hanging by some seemingly invisible hold on beam or up- right.
 Tn the streets, obstructed with debris the most unexpected things are incongru- ously associated. Opposite the rotting carcass of sheep there was baby s cradle with the clothing still in it. and scattered about the childrens playthings including rocking horse and a doll In the same heap were a pointed helmet, shredded white parasol, a sprinkling pot, a bathtub and a most costly tapestry
 The only living things encountered in this wreck of civilization were a wander Ing cat in search of a vanished home and a fox terrier digging into heaps of ruins in a vain search for a bone In broken glass case lying in the middle of the street, mother had evidently collected childhood souvenirs; there was locket containing lock of brown hair, long white baptismal robe, a pair of little slippers and a miscellaneous col lection of chld's playthings. Nearby were picked up photos of t young woman in bridal gown and a young man in even- ing dress There were also photographs of children and with them blood-stained letters scattering family secrets to the four winds'

City Job vs. Poultry Raising

Raising poultry looks so easy to the uninitiated that nearly every one imagines he can make money at it.
 City folks, in particular, seem to have a longing some day to get out in the country and have a flock of chickens for their own use, and possibly to sell some of the products.
 Several things must be consid- cred First, have you enough cap ital for the venture? Second, have you the necessary training and ex- perience; and, third, have you lik- ing for the business?

MYSTERIOUS WINToN 6.
1t Robbed an Arlington Garage Mar
of His Sleep

of His Sleep
If an automobilist driving a Wintoh
should call at the Arlington garage
and ask the proprietor, James p. Cul.
linan to sell him a gallon of gasoline
he would probably be told that gsso
line in Arlington was worth $3.50 per
gal The prospective customer would
also be informed that gasoline could
be bought for less money in Benning-
ton and Manchester.
Mr. Cullinan doesn't want to- see
any more Winton cars. One showed
up at his garage last month and be-
fore he succeeded in getting the car
off his hands he had lost many hours
sleep. The car came TO his garage
in charge Of the supposed owned who
gave his name as w. G.. Allen. He
wanted the car repaired and he also
wanted to be carried to North Ben
nington to meet somebody. Mr. Cul-
Imam gave him a car and a driver
and the next he knew the driver was
in Troy telephoning home for money
to get back to Arlington and the
stranger had disappeared. n
Latter appeared Amelia NJ Russell.
who claimed to own the Winton and
who had certain papers to prove her
claim. The garage owner was then
rather nervous and held on to the car
acting upon the advice of an attorney
After considerable negotiating and
more affidavits, Amelia NJ. Russell
was given possession of the car
young man by the name of Con
roy was engaged to drive the car
with the woman to Lee, Mass. Mr..
Cullinan thought that he had heard
the last of the car but he is informeC
by telephone that 1t is attached TO,
bill and that the chauffeur is under
arrest for driving a car without a
Massachusetts license. The chauf-
feur is reported to have extricated
himself from his troubles and was ex
pected to arrive at his home in Ar,

"The Lomo is as nearly free from
fire risk as l know how to make it,"
said Chief A. F. Potter as he finished
"a thorough inspection. OF the building
today. As usual, the chief was on the
ground while all the wiring was being
done and while the various electrical
appliances were being installed, and
he knew what he was talking about.
There is not an exposed wire in
the building" the chief said. Every
wire is not only insulated but is in a
conduit, and if there is a fire-proof
building anywhere in the world, The
Lomo is one.
Every possible care has been taken
to prevent fire. For instance, the box
es around the big switches, are not
metal, as required by law, but are far
better. They are made of hard
pressed asbestos, twice as thick as
the metal would be and not so likely
to carry heat should any heat occur in
the box.

said the chief, "for putting so much
care into the wiring and electrical ar

far the best building, from a fire.
