lit for Tat.


An old carrier of the United States
mail travelled on his blackboard about
a dozen miles through the woods twice
week. He was an ill-humored, taci-
turn old fellow. One day man who
was on walking vacation trip asked
If he might have ride with him, and
being somewhat laxative, asked many
questions along the way. At last the
old man said: .I'm tired of your talk.
I wish you'd mind your own business
and let me mind mine."
The passenger subsided.
After driving an hour or two in
silence the old carrier discovered that
his mail pouch was missing. He
stopped the horses, looked all about
the blackboard, and finally said to his
passenger:
Il wonder what has become of that
mail pouch! Have you seen it?"
Yes
We'll, where is it?" speaking
grouchily.

Picture Records of War.

A large proportion of the pictures
made in the European war are not in
tended for public exhibition. A rigid
censorship is exercised over all photo
graphic work by the government, ex-
actly as in the case of the mails and
printed matter. The films may be de-
veloped in the field or in nearby cities,
but they are not permitted to leave the
country until they have been passed
upon. A board of censors sits in a
darkened room at headquarters and
scans every detail of the movies as
they fash past. Should some secret,
valuable in any way to the army, be
revealed, it Is erased or the film is
destroyed.
The presence of the moving picture
men in such numbers at the front
does not mean that the governments
are going into the show business. The
photographs thus secured, at enormous
expense. become matters of official
record and are. of course, invaluable.
