RETIRING AGE
FRENCH OFFICERS

Paris Jan. "a reduction in the

proposed in a bill presented in the
Chamber of Deputies today by the
minister of war The bill would re-
duce the age of the retirement of COL

of brigades from g. to so years and
of generals Of divisions from 60 30
62 years.
This measure carries out the idea
advanced before the war for the re-

who reached the old limit did great
service in the first period Of the war.

unoccupied or the numbered person is

The German railroad officials have
explained that owing to the need OF

Motor car users In the future will
not have to worry whether IF not the
grease cups are filed and turned up II
development during 1915 Is followed

only four grease cups, and these are
on the steering connections. There
are cars which have as many as

that each should be turned up once
every week or ten days. These are
generally used for %lubricating minor

TO PREVENT SKIDDING
DEVICE WHICH, IT Is CLAIMED,
HAS PROVED EFFECTIVE.
Consists Of an Attachment Placed on
the Hubs and Operated From
the Chauffeusss Seat.

A brand new idea in an anti-skidding
attachment for automobiles has been
recently patented by a Missouri genius.
It is not an improved tire, as most of
the nonskidding schemes are, but an
attachment which is placed on the
hubs, and, when occasion arises, it is
nnrown into action by a lever oper-
ated from the chauffeur's seat.
The apparatus as placed on the end
Of the axle has a cam arrangement
which, under normal conditions, holds
the legs or blades in a position clear
of the ground, but when any tendency
of the car to skid is shown a movement
of the lever turns the cam and the
blades are thrown into action and pro.
trude beyond the periphery of the
wheel, where they engage with the
ground and hold the machine steady

Tack Philosophy.

A thing is tragic or humorous ac-
cording to the point Of view. The
man who sits on a tack does not share
the onlookers' amusement. In fact he
is not only panied ut his own mis-
fortune, but he is pahed because he
Occasioned someone else to find a de-
gree Of pleasure in his unseemly plight.
Now 1t is perfectly safe to make this
positive statement in this connection:
The person who witnessed the others
unfortunate encounter with the tack
lever deliberately sits on the same
tack himself; In fact, he is p~articu.
larly cautious about sitting down any
where soon thereafter without look
Ing for a tack.
Nor is this an Indictment Of tacks.
Tacks serve q very real and useful
purpose In this world, but they have
their place, which IL not in localities
where they may be sat upon.-Wii-

GASOLINE ON FARM
Tank in Which 1t Is Kept Should
Be Buried About Two
Feet in Ground.
WAYS OF ARRANGING PIPES
Their Construction Must Be consid.
cred Of Importance - Receptacle
Should Be at Least Twenty
Feet Frem Any Building. .

The best and safest way to care for
gasoline on the farm is to bury a. tank
Of 8 capacity to meet your needs, TO a
depth OF from 10 inches to two feet,
writes r. A. Bradley in Farm Progress.
Then put instwo pipes through the top.
One pipe should run to the bottom, or
nearly SO; II run to the bottom sew
eral holes may be drilled near the bot
tom Of the pipe; say one-fourth inch
from the bottom. It is good practice
to solder pipe to both top and bot
tom for stability. Also put in a small
pipe with cock for vent.
The other pipe simply goes through
the top Of the tank for a filler pipe,
and should be long enough to come
above the ground and allow for a cap
and lock n desired; and should not be
smaller than one and q quarter inches,
larger is better.
Bury the tank at least 20 feet from
the garage or any building, then pipe
into garage or shop and get an ordi-
nary suction pump on end of pipe,
using a measure or bucket for filling
car or engine.
Another very good way to get gaso-
line ont Of the tank Is to make the top
alright and run q small pipe from
garage through the top Of the tank
with an ordinary tire valve soldered
ID the end, then use a tire pump and
pump air into the tank, forcing the

ZONE OF THE oLDEN TIME
Hardly Fitted Into the Present
Busy Age.

It was characteristic of Lord Strath.
coma that. he. adhered all his life -
old.fashioned politeness In letter writ
ing He long shrank from the use
Of an amanuensls or a typewriter, 40
being a breach of courtesy. He pat
termed the openings and subscriptions
Of his letters on the old Hudson's Bay
model. Even the longest or most Of.
fetal letter he persisted In writing BY
hand at an almost incredible cost In
time and patience. On one occasion,
which Mr.. Beckles Wilson notes In his
life Of Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal" at least considerable physical
suffering was involved. He had had
the misfortune while In Scotland to
fracture one Of the bones of his right
wrist. His arm was put in splints,
and while chatting under the restraint
he seized the occasion to make q voy.
age to Canada by the way Of New
York. In transit his arm became worse,
the Inflammation spread, and he be-
came unable to leave his berth. On ar
irving at New York he was met by Sir
William Van Horne, who found him in
a very feverish and distressed state.
Nevertheless, he insisted on accom-.
panying his friend Immediately to Mont.
real, where he was induced to put
himself in the care of a surgeon. What
preyed upon his mind most was that
he had a number Of letters to answer.
"But," urged his friend, "you can
employ ar a~manuensis."
"Tve never done such a thing" Lord
Strathcona declared emphatically. ut
would give great offense, I assure you.
I have always written my letters my.
self, and l must do SO now"
But after considerable argument he
consented to try the experiment.
"At least I must sign the letters"
was his stipulation. "Put the pen be.
tween my fingers and, although II
will perhaps be a little difficult and
painful, I must certainly sign the let.
tiers myself"
So the letters were dictated, and
when the sheets were brought to him
the invalid begged to be left alone to
consider them and affix his signature.
A pen was fastened between two OF
his disengaged fingers and a bottle OF
ink placed on the table.
When, a couple of hours later, the
secretary entered to dispatch the cor.
respondence, he found that to every
letter Lord Strathcona had added q
postscript, scrawled slowly aad pain.
fully, explaining how and why the
writer had been forced to depart from
his lifelong practice of writing his
own letters and %apologizing for doing

"And in every case" concludes the
narrator OF the %anecdote, "the post.
script was longer than the body of the
