NATURAL MEANS OF DEFENSE
Possibility That Another Generation
Of Fighters May Utilize Their
Whiskers.

Here is war comment from George
w. Monroe. the comedian:
The Russian army has one advan-
tage over all other armies. and that is
whiskers. 1t has an ENHANCEMENT Of
whiskers that nothing can penetrate
not even lyddite, shrapnel or slugs. A
Russian soldiers whiskers are not the
fossy kind that toss around with
every passing gale. They are so dura.
BILE that when he falls on them he does
not even bend them; he drives them
into the ground. The only time Rus.
sian soldier is in danger is when he
turns the back Of his head to the en-.
envy. The other armies may have the
best tactics, armament, discipline,
spirit and patriotism, but the Russian
army has the chilled.steel whiskers.
The most difficult job Red Cross
nurse has to perform, after the Rus.
sian army has finished an engage
ment, is to comb the bullets and
shells out Of the soldiers whiskers.
Fifty years from now, when the next
great war is fought, 1t will not be a
question of rapid-hring, long-range
guns; it will be question Of whis.
kers. The world will ask which army
has the best whiskers. Whiskers will
decide the battle. Nations will no
longer waste money in buying big
guns and testing them. They will
grow whiskers for national defense
and they will test an army's efficiency
by drawing up company on the
parade grounds and allowing a husky
coal HEAVIER to go down the line and
hit each soldier in the face with an
AK Whiskers that won't make the az
bounce will be sent to the rear as un
fit for the firing line.

1t was half-past nine o'clock when

that the strident switching of freight

the sullen glances of the gathering in

Samson with his escort rode up to

He was for the moment unarmed and
his men walked on each side of him,

This system of road building is

Another good thing worthy Of care
full consideration in the building Of our
good country roads is that Of the con-
struction of permanent and lasting
culverts. Culverts built Of stone or
concrete cost more than wooden
bridges, but they will last hundred
years, and they will not rust or need
repainting every year, as iron truss
bridges do. In the end, they are the
most economical kind of viaducts.
