train, having bought ticket for
Bienne. There We walked some miles
toward Geneva. when an automobile

propriate for an aviator The last
night was passed in village near
Geneva and after some hours walking
next morning we saw the frontier, the
railroad and the road from Anne

line.
The actual crossing proved easy
The Swiss gard happened to be some
yards away and Gilbert took to his
legs and got into France before the
guard reached him."
The French guard, however, chal-
lenged him, and the only papers" Gil
bert could show were his Legion of
Honor cross. his military medal and
his war cross. When he gave his name.
the brave guard accepted these deco
rations as proof of identity, and tele-
phoned his superior officers, who
brought an automobile for Gilbert's
use.
A triumphant welcome met him at
Lyons, where he was able to borrow
an aviator officers uniform. A still
more enthusiastic welcome awaited
him at Paris. where the minister Of
war congratulated him and gave him
permission so that he can take a
short rest before resuming his place
at the front. Gilbert needs some rest,
as. in addition to his irksome life as a
prisoner, he had to thin himself down
considerably in order to be sure of
passing down the ventilation shaft.

IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
trenches Only Little Way From
Being ImpreQnabie.

In the Atlantic Monthlr Mr. Edward
Morlae describes IA very clever i'm
provement the Germans have made in
their barbedwire 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
1t. 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 n cork
puller into a 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 q
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 harbed wire out OF the eyes.
showed small stick through one. and,
turning the rod with the leverage Of
the stick, usncrewed 1t out of the
ground. and then. reversing the proc
ess, screwed 1t in again. The advan-
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 off short they
always support the wire. and even
after severe bombardment present u
serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown to
smithereens by the shells. and when
broken of they let the wire fall fiat

it has no connection with the govern

Salvatore Migiliorisi and his wife
are the happiest parents in New York
city. Their little daughter Josephine,
three and half years old, who they
believed dead for two years, has
turned up alive. The story is one Of
the strangest in the annals of New
York alien life. Two years ago the
baby was taken to hospital. Some
time later the parents received n letter
from the hospital. They could not
read this. so they took 1t to a friend
to have 1t read. The friend told them
that it said that the child was dead.
When the parents went to the hospital
to claim the body of the child they
were turned away for some unknown
reason. Then the parents moved sew
eral times. In the meantime the
charities department was continually
hunting for them. The department
has just located them.

TEXAS COWBOY AS RICH COUNT
FOOLS SOCIETY


New York, Feb. Jean H E. St.
Cyr, youthful husband of Silent"
Smiths widow and New York and
Palm Beach society man, is not St.
Cyr of Trouville, France, at all, but
lost Texas cowboy, Jack Thompson
of Waco, according to story publish
ed by N. Y. World.
est. Cyr, masquerading as distin-
guished French gentleman, and as
such received at the White House and
in society's most exclusive circles, is
missing Jack Thompson of Waco,
newsboy, hotel clerk, haberdasher's
salesman and chorus man, who lived
in hall bedroom of ANEW York ten
ement eight years ago." the World
declares.
Because he is the husband of the
very rich and socially prominent
Annie Armstrong Stewart Smith, he
is entertained by such families as
Judge and Mrs. Ebert H. Gary, the
Brazilian Ambassador De Cana and
others, resides at the Ritz in New
York, has his meals served in his
SulC0 dLu IuluSlCo WIN AAAAA1Oucu Co.
Nothing st. Cyr has ever done makes
it necessary for him to deny that he
is John Thompson, son of poor but
estimable old southern family. He
assumed the name st. Cyr when he
married Caroline Redfield at Jersey
City, N. j., June 9, 1909. This official
record shows that he gave as the
names of his father and mother the
names of the father and mother of
the missing Thompson.
The story goes on to print the
statement of an employee of large
New York store, where the World
says Thompson was employed under
his own name as clerk in 1906 and
1907. The man, seeing St. Cyr in the
Palm Room at the Ritz, is said to
have exclaimed, without knowing his
name:

ed, on file herein that it is necessary
to sell the whole of the estate of said
deceased in order to pay the debts
of said estate and the expenses OF adj

1t is ordered by this court that all
persons interested in the estate OF
said Alice s. Miller, deceased, ap-
pear before the probate court of the
county of Bingham, state Of Idaho,
at the court room thereof, at the
Court House in the city Of Blackfoot,
in said county and state, on the tenth

top arm recovers the head is thrown
back and the shoulders are followed.
This twists the body half around. and
the turn is completed by a quick push
from the wall with the extended arm.
The under arm meanwhile is used to
back water, SO that the hips are brought
close to the wall, when both feet are
rested firmly eight or ten inches be-
low the surface, the arms thrust for
ward and the legs forcibly distended.
The body is then left to glide in plung-
ing position until its obtained speed be-
gins to slacken.
In training for competition Excess
sive work must be guarded against,
and particularly speed work. 1t is pace
that kills. The wisest plan is to alter
nate sprinting practice with middle
distance swimming at moderate gait.
Alcoholic drinks and stimulants Of all
kinds are best left alone, though there
may be times when a small quantity
Of beer, ale or claret at meals will
prove beneficial to a contestant who
has lowered his vitality by overwork
or continued racing.
Plenty of sleep is indispensable to
the training swimmer and good, hearty
meals of wholesome food.
During the indoor season, when all
practice Is done in inclosed baths, exer-
else should be taken frequently in the
fresh air, having care, though, to choose
some form that will tend to harden
the muscles. Walking. especially in
the country, can be strongly recon-
mended, and 1t will prove doubiy bene-
fetal If deep breathing is INDUCED in
the while.
