circular galleries and thrusting out
through small holes in the bark cast

dish wood fragments around the base
of the tree. During the winter the
borers are quiescent but early in the
following spring they attack the solid
wood, while some of them work Their
way up the trunk. These last spend
one more winter in the tree and then,
having passed through the pupaf

as adult beetles. Three years are re-

the second battle of Ypres when the
Germans had another try for the
Channel ports the sensation of their
attack with asphyxiating gas over
Swallowed what they did with their
guns. Heretofore their practice on
Ypres had been comparatively teas
ing playfulness. This time they went
at the job Of destruction systematical-
ly; jumping from one space on the
checkerboard to another they smashed
Ypres section by section.
AS they meant to take the town this
seemed poor policy for they would find
no roofs for shelter when they moved
in. But their object was confusion for
British reinforcements hurrying up
along roads crowded with refugees;
wholesale death for men in billets in
supplies and munitions coming through
the streets. This was excellent theory
which did not work out in practice.
The British were not billeting troops
to any extent in Ypres and you could
count the number Of army wagons hit
on the fingers Of one hand. One shell
in the British trenches accomplished
more than ten into Ypres. The main
result was that the homes and Offices
and cafes Of eighteen thousand peo-
pie were destroyed.
The 42-centimeter az inch mortar)
had its part in the work. When a
seventeen-inch shell struck a house
the remains Of the building not dis
tributed on the pavement were in an
enlarged cellar. Debris in the streets
still remains where it fell. There is
no purpose in cleaning it up in an un-
inhabited town. Paving stones are
scattered about from the explosion of
a seventeen inch shell which struck
in the center Of the Grande Place and
made crater about fifteen feet across
and ten feet deep. This two thousand
pounds Of steel and powder did not kill
anybody so far as could be learned
1t would not take a paving gang long
to make repairs. Another which could
have brought down a cathedral tower
dug a still larger crater in the soft
earth Of the cathedral grounds. Big
shells or little shells, they do not
count unless they hit. On the princi-
pie that lightning never strikes twice
in the same place probably the safest
cover you could find in case of another
bombardment of Ypres would be to sit
in the bottom Of one Of those craters.
Another bombardment would seem as
bootIess as failing last years straw or
kicking dead dog. However the Ger
mans keep on throwing shells into the
wreckage at intervals as if they could
never be satisfied that they had prop
erly finished the job Of chaos. Every

British Headquarters, France, June
21.-"How are the turrets? Still hold
ing out?" they ask up and down the
line Of any one who has come from
Ypres. Everybody has tender per-
sonal interest in the turrets of the old
Cloth Hall which deepens with each
day that they survive in defiance Of
the German gunners above the wreck
age wrought by German shells.
People are still living in Rheims and
Louvain, but Ypres is absolutely
dead city; dead as Pompeii; dead as
a deserted mining camp in Alaska. No
face appears in any door or window
that can still be called door or win
dow; no figures are seen moving
through the shell holes in walls that
are still standing.
Before the war Ypres had some
eighteen thousand inhabitants. Now
it has not a single one. No one is
making any effort to make any ruin
habitable. The only signs of life ex-
cept occasional soldiers coming out and
going to the lines are cats grown wild
which become streaks Of fur disap-
pearing among the ruins of their for
mer homes.
The Cathedral which stands back of
the Cloth Hall was q noble edif1ce no
doubt; but there are great many ca
thedrals in Europe. The Cloth Hall is
unique; the best ofsits kind. Anyone
who ever saw it always remembered
its turrets. Different conquerors of
Ypres put her women and children to
the sword but no onA had even harm
ed the old Cloth Hall beyond taking
away few statues.
Last February p~fhaps four or five
thousand people reclaimed in Ypres.
They were going and coming about the
streets as usual keeping their shops
open and doing what business they
could at the old stand. A visitor could
get a meal in a restaurant or have his
shoes cobbled. Only one house in the
big square had been hit. It's roofs
dropped over the edges Of corner sec
ton which had been torn out Of the
main floor.
TIL Germans threw ~ occasional
shells mostly directed at the Cathe-
dral with some of the misses bound
to hit the Cloth Hall. Restoration
work which age required had just been
finished on the Cloth Hall before the
war began. The people paid for this
in their civic pride and let other civic
improvements wait. For the Cloth
Hall gave Ypres a civic distinction. 1t
was the historical soul of Ypres. The
old frescoes on its walls told the city's
early history. It meant to Ypres quite
as much in it's way as Westminster
Abbey to London or Faneuil Hall to
Boston. Every man or woman born
in Ypres had been brought up to tell
the time Of day by the raised gilt fig
ures Of the, old golden clock face.
BY February the peoples sense Of
horror was exhausted. Destruction Of
things sacred to them had become rou-
tine. When they heard another explo-
sion and word was passed that the
Germans had scored another hit they
went around to the Grande Place to
see IL the turrets and the gilt clock
face were still unframed. And they
said: THE Cloth Hall still can be re-
stored"-these stubborn Flemish who

Women are as common a sight in Eng
lish fields now as in the continental coun-
tries. Over 10000 male farm laborers
have enlisted in the army and caused a
grave shortage. Farmers complain Of
the scarcity of labor and say that they
have suffered from recruiting all they
can bear. AS the local food supply was
necer so important as now, they have
been asked for the release of soldiers for
farm work. This request has been
granted by the war Office for the har-
vesting of the grain crops, but for that
only.

Canning Beans in Tin.

The preparation of the vegetables is
an important item in canning. In Sc
curing a fine quality, much depends
upon having the vegetables fresh,
crisp, clean, and kept cool. A good
slogan is zone nour from the field to
the can" First have cans and lids
thoroughly washed and sealed. Sort
and grade, discarding all defective
ones.
Steps Taken in Canning.
1. Wash and string beans, having
them of uniform length.
2. Blanching. This consists Of
plunging the vegetables, put in wire
basket, -four sack, or square cheese
cloth, into boiling water for 10 min
utes; being careful not to let them
come out of the basket or clotn. The
blanch gives more thorough clean
ing, removes the strong odor and
flavor, improves the texture, and gives
a clearer liquor. 1t also shrinks the
fruit or vegetables and full pack
is then more easily made.
8. Plunging the beans, still in the
cloth, into cold brine-using 2 table
spoons to 1 gallon of water. Leave
in brine long enough for water to
reach all. This retains the green
color.
4. Packing.
5. Adding mixture and water. the
mixture is composed of parts of sug-
ar to / of salt, thoroughly mixed to-
gether. A quantity of mixture may be
made and kept for the canning season,
provided it is protected from dust. To
every can of beans, No. 8 can, add 2
level teaspoons of this mixture; No. 2
cans require 1 teaspoon, Cover with
cold water, being careful not to let
water touch top of can.
S. Fluxing and Gaping. After put
