PARIS, Aug 21.-Italian troops be-
gan to disembark at Saloniki yester-
day says Havas dispatch from that
piont.
On leaving their ships, the dispatch
says, the Italians passed through Sal
oniki to camp, preceded by military
bands OF the allies and eheered by the
populace.
Active participation by Italian
troops in the Saloniki campaign would
mean the existence of state OF war
between Germany and Italy.
Germany is directing the operations
against the allies on this front and as
the official German reports show, has
forces there. Some Austrian troops
also probably are employed and pos
sibly Turks, but the major portion OF
the army is made up ef Bulgarians,
Recent reports have indicated the
withdrawal of Austrian troops from

and Italian fronts.

force OF some 100000 British. French
and Serbian troops on the. Saloniki

Ry Louise D. MITCHELL

- OWN in the world where all the little
! insects and the larger untamed AMI
~ mails live the season is a very busy
one II is time to go house hunting There
is first the exact spot for the house building
to be found and then the building itself 10 DC
started There are many huttering wings
about and more than one anxious little insect
mother trying to decide just which place IS
best suited for her purposes.
Perhaps none Of them is quite so anxious
as Mrs. Carpenter Bee. She has been de-
tanned on the way and she has great deal
yet to do. She is unusually particular as to
the site for her home, for she did not have
very good luck the last time. She tries tirst
an old fence post and then wooden railing.
She tap. tap, taps it all first, but it doesn't
give back Just the sound she is expecting so
those will not do She has half a mind to Tx
over an old home made by another Mrs. Car
penter Bee. but finally decides that it doesn't
look large enough
At last, just as many another house hunter
in the upper world where we live decides, she
thinks she might as we'll build one for herself
If she wants to get one tina. will suit her. And
so she begins. She has selected an old tree
whose wood is soft. She hasn't any tools with
which to work save the two she carries in her
mouth-her strong jaws. And there isn't an
other being to help her. All her work has to
be done at first by boring, and entirely by her
self
From now on she is going to be very busy
little LADY, She must find food for herself while
she works and she must be ever on the look
out for enemies. If one comes along she must
stop her work on the new house and take the
time to fight him.
Mrs. Bee takes the sawdust from the wood
and carries it to one side, where She leaves it
in pile, carefully screened from the wind.
After she has worked a while straight into
the wood she bores downward twelve or ht-
teen inches.
So. you see, she has made tiny tunnel, or
long, narrow tube shaped like your lead
pencil. She then very carefully begins to pol
ish the sides of this tunnel so that it shall be
round and smooth. All the rough particles,
like splinters or crumbs of sawdust, are re-
moved, for Mrs Bee is an excellent house
keeper and is not going TO have anything in
her new house that does not belong there.
Now, this little tunnel is just the frame OF
her house, as you will soon see; but you will
think it very queer, indeed, when l tell you
that the outside Of Mrs. Bees house is really
the outside OF the tree and that you have to
look that tree over very carefully before you
could even suspect that there was a little home
there at ALL for it is way, way inside the tree.
So after Mrs. Bee has polished and cleaned
her funny house in the VERY best Bee fashion
she does most curious thing. She just takes
an egg OF her own and places it very carefully
at the bottom of that tunnel-housc. Then she

mother
Her mother was very sad when she head this.
she sent lots of people TO hunt for Edith, but
none could find her. At last it grew dark, and
.dith lay down under big chestnut tree to sleep.
She was not there long, when she heard the
sound Of horses hoofs, and who should come out
of the bushes but Edths own uncle.
"Oh, uncle" she shouted.
Her uncle looked down and said:
Hello, Edith! How did you get out here so
late at night"
he got lost from her nurse Then her uncle
took her up on the horse and rode home to her
mother and her mother took her up in her arms
and Rugged her.
Wien Edith ready for bed she heard
meaowing sound at the door. She opened the
door and saw her little kitty standing there She
took her up in her arms and said "Oh, you dear
kitty cat!"
And Edith never went into the woods again.

vP YOU want to have some special fun
with your school friends on St. Patricks
l. Dsy. after school is out suppose you
make ST. Patrick's Game and have good
time with it.
The game is easy to make, and 1t you Ike
YOU may have simple little ST. Patrick's Day
favors for prizes. These you can buy oheaply
almost snywhere-a tiny Irish flag, or joint
ed Japanese snake, or the figure OF an odd lit
tie Irishman. Ten cents should cover the C
of your prizes if selected with care at Io-cent
store. The material for making the game will
cost FIVE cents 1t is plain sheet Of green
cardboard bought at the stationery store.
This is the way you make the ST. Patricks
Day Game: Take the sheet Of cardboard and
place it fat upon the floor. With the help of
a ruler and pencil rule off twenty-four cards,
each four inches long and two inches wide.
This will not be hard to do, but care should
be taken to make all measurements exact SO
that the cards are of uniform size.
When the cards are finished take some red
ink and write upon them. Write the word
harp" on three cards. Write the word dis
tinctly and make the writing as uniform a
you can. Upon three other cards write the
word SNAKE" Upon three other cards write
the word shamrock" Upon one card write
st. Patrick" Leave all other cards blank
The object of the game is to obtain the full
set OF ST. Patricks Day symbols-the harp,
the snake. the shamrock and ST. Patrick.
Play is made by exchanging cards.
Begin by counting out for the one who is
to commence the game. This player shufies
and deals the cards, giving them all out, the
same number 70 each. No cards may be
amined till all are dealt out. The first player
then chooses a card from the hand OF his left
hand neighbor and offers his hand in return for
the selection OF card. Play proceeds TO tie
left each time, and care should be taken TO hold
the cards in ones hand so that no player may
see what Is on their face.
No cards are ever discarded The full num-
Der must be kept in each players hand till
the winner obtains the four desired cards in
MS hand at one time.
