What the Soldier Heard
From His Old Home Town

Lansing, Mich, June 17.-Severely
wounded, D. Cross, British soldier,
was recently removed to military
hospital in Shorncliffe, England. Ar
ter what seemed a thousand agOnizing
weeks, he found himself one morning
propped up in bed, and feeling almost
like man, in spite of his acres of
bandges, which gave him a grim and
ghost.lke look,
Cigarettes he had. His next desire
was for something to read. The nurse
brought q magazine, an American
magazine, Golfers.
The soldier gave a cry of delight.
He almost wept for joy, for D. Cross
was American born. As fast as q sick
man could, he turned the pages.
Suddenly he stopped and gasped.
We're his senses playing some joke on
him} There on the page before him
was message from his home town. 1t
must be dream. But no dream could
be half so real He rubbed his eyes,
took firmer grip on the magazine,
and read:

The egg shell is porous and bacteria
remaining on the egg can penetrate
and contaminate it.
s. In cleaning do not put the eggs

Maxwell Cars Engaged
In Hazardous Climb

Time and again Maxwell ears have
demonstrated their superior powers as
hill climbers, but the work of three
stock touring cars in Mauritius, an
island in the middle of the Indian
ocean, is the most gratifying perform.
anee of its kind to be recorded.
News of the latest Maxwell feat, in
which trio of touring cars climbed
the hazardous paths Of Mount Chama-
rel, has just been received by the ex.
port department at Detroit At the
time the Maxwells successfully made
the climb, two other cars of American
make attempted the difficult ascent
and both were stalled. One of these
cars was a twenty horsepower touring
car and it was forced TO abandon the
climb when One.quarter of the way up.
The other was forty horsepower
seven passenger car and it failed to
negotiate half the distance.
A Difficult Climb.
The following brief description of
the mountain and its roads will give
some conception of the difficulties
that had to be overcome Mount
Chamarel rises from q flat plain few
feet above the sea level to an altitude
of 1900 feet The road zigzags in a
series of sharp curves at angles of
about thirty-eight degrees.
The car attempting the climb has be-
fore OF the difficulty of getting up
speed after slowing down to a foot
pace to. negotiate the curves, which
have to be taken with the utmost care,
for the precipiee is always at one side
Of the car.
In spite of these difficulties, the
Maxwells used their second speed and
occasionally their third speed in the
straight stretches and their first speed
Ouly in the curves The three Maxwells
topped the mountain with no apparent
difficulty and iOurneyed down the other
side in safety.
A Unique Sight.
The performance of these Maxwells !
is all the more remarkable in view of
the fact that heavy rains had fallen !
during the week preceding the trial. !
and during the run it rained so hard |
that water was running down the road. |
Mount Chamarel is an object of I
wonder for all tourists. 1t has been a
source of interest because it offers the
unique spectacle of earth of no less
than seYerty-twO distinct and separate
cOlors on q small space of two acres of
ground. This spot forms a series of
few feet high, long and mar
row and believing one after another
with startling regularity.
From short distance, the various
colors are easily discernible one from
the other and the seventy.two colors
may easily be pointed out. The great
est peeuliarity of these mounds is that
they can be levelled and the earth
mixed so as to form uniform color
A few weeks later they will have
formed again and the earth will resume
its primitive colors. Scientists have
never been able to account for this phe-
nomenon. The colors are attributed by
some geologists to ferruginous exhala-
tions from the earth, but this does not
explain why the earth will not remain
level
