Interesting Side Lights on
Life in the French Trenches
Letter from young French soldier relat-
ing some amusing experiences. Rats
make trench life miserable.

methods of the rats are infinite in
their variety and they adapt them
selves TO all circumstances OF the
fighting. L shall give one example.
Long ago ii "a found necessary
to discontinue issuing sugar. coffee,
salt and spices direct to the soldiers
Individually because the rats looked
upon these articles as most excellent
aperitifs. Then these articles OF food
were put up in small boxes one for
each company and we invented all
kinds of devices TO keep them safe.
preferably suspending them from q
wire at least Il yard above the floor.
Nevertheless, the rats very soon found
a way to get at the sugar. They
simply Snawed a hole in the ceiling,
let themselves slide down the wire to
the box and had it emptied in no time.
I'VE shall get the Germans some
day. for against them we have Father
Joifrc, bUt there is absolutely nothing
TO show that we shall ever get the
best of the rats, against which we
have nothing but pamphlets. They
have sent up baccilli and poisons of
many different kinds to eXterminate
the rats, but these means are abut as
efficient as are the rules of interna-
tiOnal law adopted at the Hague. They
may work all right against rats in
time of peace, but they are absolute
ly no good against war rats, which
are as big as rabbits. and which look
upon scientific prescriptions as the
Kaiser looks upon advertisements
scraps of paper.
AS a matter of fact we have in
vented better methods of fighting
them ourselves. but so far they are
still on the whole having it their own
way.
1T is really necessary to have two
kinds OF sentrics-one to shoot the
Germans and another to kill rats, and
The latter has by far the worst job.
we only hope that some day we
shall find that all our rats have run
Over TO the Germans. 1t would be a
most satisfactory arrangement for
them both, for the Germans who are
hungry could eat rats and the rats
that are born hungry could eat Ger
mans"

terms of peace alone than when tied
10 Germany.
II was absolutely certain, they all
agreed, that in no country in the world
not even in Italy. is there any such
hatred of Austria as against Germany,
and particularly against Prussia.
Emperor Francis Joseph gave his
consent to this because he is too weak
to resist the Kaiser, but no member
OF the imperial Austrian family made
any attempt to hide his anger and in
dignation.
Archdukc Frederick, who at the be-
ginning of the war was Generalissimo
OF the Austria armies, may still be
heard openly expressing his views of
the Kaiser and his Prussians, and his
words are frequently quoted in Wen
ma military circles.

Is generally attributed the saying that
"His Majesty Francis Joseph is now
little more than a vassal of the Ger

esscs nave said to their friends:

The same feelings prevail among
Austrian officers, several of whom
have been very rudy treated by the
German colleagues, who boast that
they alone nave saved Austria from
defeat and taught the Serbians a les

Power and Piston Rinps.

Power depends upon a thorough state
Of efficiency in every component part
of the engine. Whenever Or wherever
any part is weak or inefficient power
production is inevitably reduced. In
the case of piston rings this is particu-
larly true.
Compression is essential to operation,
and piston rings are used for the single
purpose of making perfect compression
possible by sealing up the combustion
chamber of the cylinder against gas
leakage. They fit around the piston
head and by means Of their spring
close the space between piston head
and cylinder wall. a thin film of oil
serves to make them effectually gas
tight.
Now, when power shortage is appar-
ent it is the piston rings that should
always come in for examination. The
usual type ring found in most engines
develops faults very easily. In fact,
after a short period of service it can no
longer be considered efficient.

Repair the Tire Cuts.

AS the tire revolves a suction is pro
duced which draws particles of dirt
into a small cut. Gradually these par
ticleS work under the rubber, grinding
and cutting it from the fabric. If neg,
lected this grinding process will work
around the tire and separate the whole
tread from the fabric. The fabric I'M
der the tread Soaks up some road mois-
ture, which causes it to weaken, and a
blowout soon follows.
y tire cut is the most ommon and
most destructive Of all tire troubles
and yet is the easiest to remedy if
taken in time. 1t is a good plan to
look over your tires every few days.
1t will pay to repair any cuts, however
insignificant they may appear.
You can do this quickly by cleaning
out with gasoline and filling in with
quick repair gum. a can of this is in
expensive and may save many dollars
worth of tires and lots of trouble. Rap
id deterioration Invariably follows a
neglected cut.

want one, two or three degrees?" and
he answers according to what he
wants. The next question is, (Which
girl do you want to give you the de-
grees" He then gives the name Of
the girl he wishes to initiate him.
The girl approaches, and the master
of ceremony kisses the boy according
to the number of degrees he has taken.
Then another boy is called in, and the
same thing is done. Each boy sees
how he is fooled. AS the other boy

in the girls room, and only the last

Soma of the katydid.

katydids belong to the grasshopper
family, and sometimes they have been
known to make faint noises in the day
time, but they are never so loud as
those made at night. The queer call
which sounds so very much like the
words Katy did, is made by rubbing
the overlapping wing covers against
each other. This noise has been made
with the wings of q dead katydid.
a katydid's eggs are f%lattened, oval
and slate colored and are placed in a
double overlapping row ON twigs and
leaves. One katydid will lay as many
as 80 eggs i'll q season. Katydid eggs
hatch out the following spring. In the
southern states there are two genera
tons each year. In the northern states
there is 4 single brood.
