Hen hatches Woodpecker

fredericksburg, Ind.-It is unusual fol
a hen to hatch out woodpecker, but
an instance is reported by Ira Cordrey
farmer living near here. The hen
had been missing for some time. When
found she was mothering eleven baby
chicks and one tiny woodpecker, which
appeared perfectly happy to let the
hen scratch worms for it, and the hen
is paying just as much attention ia
the little woodpecker as 1t is to her
brood Of chicks. The woodpecker's ap.
pearance Is explained on the suppose
ton that a woodpecker laid the egg in

undertaken from the beginning. The
men had to be lodged, clothed. armed
and equipped far from their own in
vaded country.
The French government rose to the
occasion. An extensive camp and a
number of large buildings in various
parts Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, con-
vents and unemployed factories-were
put at the disposal of the Belgians.
Clothing was hard to find, and here
again, for part of it. recourse was had
to the French, although they them
selves had barely enough for their own
needs. A clothing depot was formed
at Rouen, which obtained cloth from
Elbeuf. Factories which had been
closed for want of labor were reopened
for the manufacture Of equipment.
Hospital centers Created.
Similarly at Rouen. and this time
with the assistance Of the British Red
Cross, hospital center was created,
including large portable hospital,
situated above the town in particu-
larly healthy position, section for
mechanical treatment and a section for
the manufacture of artificial limbs. An
other hospital center, equally we'll
equipped, was founded in the district
Of Rennes. Attached to these hospital.
organizations are convalescent homes.
From the purely military point Of
view, the arrangements made by the
general inspection of the Belgian army
are wonderfully complete. There are
ce1ters for infantry training, an artil-
lery school and depot, machlne-gun
school, q bombing school and a school
ut which men coming from the conva-
descent homes are taught by "old SOL
diers" the latest "tricks of the trade"
before returning to the trenches.
Recruiting offices have, been started
in all French towns where assemblages
of Belgian refugees are to be found, as
also military establishments at all
places through which the troops pass.
Most important of all, a school,
known as the "Centre d. Instruction des
Sous-lieutenants auxiliaires instruc-
Tours" has been opened, at which a
great number of picked noncommis-
stoned officers and soldiers are taught
the command of platoons, thus insur-
ing steady supply of well-trained Of
ficers.

BELGIUM NOW HAS
SPLENDID {: ARMY
Remarkable Piece of Work in
Reorganization Accomplished
Since October, 1914.
TRIBUTE TO zeal OF KING
Belgian Army More Numerous and
Better Equipped Than II Was at
Outbreak Of the War-Diffi-
culties Surmounted.

Paris.-It is hard indeed to recog'
nize in the well-equipped and trained
Belgian army Of TO-DAY the disheveled
war-weary troops who, at the end OF q
painful retreat and lacking almost
every military necessity but courage
turned desperately to bay and helped
to make history at the battle of the
User.
The reorganization accomplished
since October, 1914, is remarkable
testimony to the energy inspired by
the example of King Albert and the
zeal with which, often in very difficult
circumstances, his officers have full
filed their task.
The result of their efforts is that
NJ. de BroQueville was able to declare
recently that the Belgian army is more
numerous end better equipped today
than it was at the outbreak Of war.
~ start at the Beginning.
When, In October, 1914, Antwerp
was evacuated, the Belgian recruits
who had Joined and, being still without
arms or equipment, had been employed
In digging trenches round the city
were sent back to the neighborhood OF
Fumes.
Driven thence by the approach OF
the Germans, they retired, under the
command of Lieutenant General dc
Sellers de Moranville, to Dunkirk
Hence, in the face of innumerable diff
ficulties, of which not the least was the
lack of shipping, they were conveyed
to Normandy where the whole work OF
preparing them for the front had to be

tables are used they should be fresh
and crisp and usually the salad is bet
ter If mixed just before serving, not
to destroy the crispness as that Is
the chief charm Of. salad.
TIL kind of salad dressing to use de-
ponds upon the combination and upon
the taste of the persons to be served.
The simple French dressing Is one that
is most commonly liked and one which
Is so easily prepared that it appeals
to the busy housewife. One part Of
strong vinegar to three parts oil is
usually sufficiently acid, then with the
addition Of salt and red pepper to
taste, when well beaten and allowed
to chill it is ready to serve.
A touch of garlic or onion Is liked
for flavor in many vegetable salads.
This may be obtained by rubbing cut
Glove of garlic over the inside Of the
salad bowl or rubbing a piece Of bread
which is placed in the bottom of the
bowl to season the whole dish. This
is called a chapon. This bread may
be in one piece or in small cubes and
served with the salad If liked.
When parsley is to be used gather
a we'll washed bunch in the hand and
with d sharp knife shred it very fine;
gather the leaves closely with the
fingers, then chop the parsley with the
knife until very fine. Put the finely
chopped herb in cloth and hold un-
der stream of water, wiring dry and
use this green powder to dust over
the salad.
Radishes may be cut to look like
tulips. With sharp knife score the
red skin at the root end into five or
six sections extending up the radish
nearly to the stem, then loosen the
skin and place in cold water when
they will become crisp and the points
will stand out like the petals Of
flower.
Small pickles or gherkins may be
cut in very thin slices lengthwise with
out detaching at one end, then spread
out the slices as fan Is spread. Use
as garnish.
Cucumbers are delicious served
sliced with a sour cream dressing.
This is especially well liked by the
Germans.
Endive served in bowl, rubbed
with garlic, sprinkle with chopped
chives and serve with string beans,
with French dressing.
