IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
Trenches Only Little Way From
Being lmpreonabIe-

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr. Edward
Morlae describes very clever i'm
provement the Germans have made in
their barbed-wlre defenses. The
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, of course, but the Germans have
found better support for them. He
writes:
AFTER we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work TO remodel
ii. shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
job was done in wonderfully short
time, thanks to German thoroughness.
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, three-quarters of an inch
thick, twisted five times In the shape
of great corkscrew This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like a cork
puller into cork. The straight part
of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six or seven small loops In n
height Of about five feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
solidly secured with short lengths of
tying wire.
First cutting the tying wire, we lift
ed the barbed wire put of the eyes,
showed n small stick through one and.
turning the rod with the leverage of
the stick, usncrewed it out of the
ground, and then, reversing the proc
ess. screwed 1t In again. The adVun-
tage of this rod is obvious. When n
shell falls In the midst of this wire
protection, the rods are bent and twist
ed, but unless broken of short they
always support the wire. and even
after a severe bombardment present a
serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown TO
smithereens by the shells. and when
broken Off they let the wire fall Hat
to the ground"

ed with another strap which passed
between the toes were worn irrespec-
tive of class, except in the presence of
superiors, but the Egyptian commonly
preferred to so barefoot.
Adopt Plated Kilt.
by the time of the Middle Kingdom
ordinary individuals had adopted the
plated kilt, which for time. at least
in the Old Kingdom, had been the pc
culiar property of the king; however,
it is doubtful If the people ever wore
it of gold. On a wooden statuette of
Seostris l, in the Eighth Egyptian
room, this kilt is represented as plated
all around. the two ends curving sym
metrically in front up TO the girdle.
The king also wears the red crown
symbolic of lower Egypt, while the
mate to this statuette, which is now In
the Cairo museum, wears the white
crown of Upper Egypt.
"Other statuettes, in the Sixth
Egyptian room, show what variety of
skirts existed at the time. The old
forms continued, although there was n
tendency toward n narrower. longer
skirt. The triangular projection, 50
fashionable in the first dynasty, be-
came subdued until 1t was quite mod
est. The long skirt which has been
described as typical of this time often
had high waistline. 1t was at this
time that clothing for the upper part
of the body first appeared, and "A curl
Gus cape was sometimes pinned around
the shoulders. A heavy cloak or shawl,
probably of wool, worn in the Old
Kingdom as an outer garment by both
men and women, now became common.
Changes in the costumes of wom-
en- from the old to the Middle Kingdom
were slight, but there were few in
nOvations that showed the tendency
toward elaboration. A plain white
tunic was sometimes covered with n
network of brightly colored beads in
diamond pattern with bead fringe at
the bottom. A similar dress, excep-
tionally gay in color, dates from the
sixth dynasty. One statuette from
Assiut shows a white tunic with n wide
border on the bottom representing
birds wings or u leaf pattern, the lat
ter more likely, since 1t is painted in
green"

Wounded Otter Bit Him.

Petersburg, Ind.-Homer Hays. aged
eighteen, was hunting frogs with a
small rifle along White river. near
the island two miles east of here,
when he s,iw an otter lying on the
river bank. He shot at 1t and the bullet
hit 1t in TIE mouth. This so enraged
the animal that 1t jumped at him and
caught one of his hands. preventing
him from shooting a second time. He
finally shook the animal loose. and It
rolled down the river bank into the
water md dived out of sight.
