three and a half years old, who they

baby vas taken to a hospital. Some
time later the parents received a letter

Crossing the Frontier.
"We decided to start next day, which
was Ascension day, which seemed APP
propriate for an aviator. The last
night was passed in a village near
Geneva and after some hours walking
next morning we saw the frontier, the
railroad and the road from Anne
masse to Bellegarde. This was the
point we had chosen for crossing the
line.
The actual crossing proved easy.
The Swiss. gard happened to be some
| yards away and Gilbert took to his
legs and got into France before the
guard reached him."
The French guard, however, chal-
lenged him, and the only papers" Gill
bert could show were his Legion of
Honor cross, his military medal and
his war cross. When he gave his name.
the brave guard accepted these deco
rations as proof of identity and tele-
phoned his superior officers, who
brought an automobile for Gilbert's
use.
A triumphant welcome met him at
Lyons, where he was able to borrow
an aviator officers uniform. A still
more enthusiastic welcome awaited
him at Paris, where the minister of
war congratulated him and gave him
a permission so that he a take a
short rest before resuming his place
at the front. Gilbert needs some rest,
as, in addition to his irksome life as a
prisoner, he had to thin himself down
considerably in order to be sure OF

Two Flour Mills Here Turn Out

HISTORY OF FLOUR MAKING

Omaha makes no special claims a. a
milling center and yet there arc two
flour mills In operation with capacity
Of 2,c0 barrels Gay. vastly more than
would be sufficient to supply all the
people OF Greater Omaha and council
Bluffs with flour. In ADDITION there are
three alfalfa mills with a capacity Of
800 tons OF alfalfa meal a day.
Yet tho ultimate value OF -rop OF
wheat and that IN which the grain men
are interested and which fixes the values
Of wheat day by day Is what Il will be
worth after tho miller has converted Il
into flour. Tho story or milling Is an In
tcresting one.
Primeval man reduced grain 20 flour
by means Of a hand stone and this
method obtained for 400 years with no
Improvement. The grain was simply
placed In hollow stone and pounded
into meal by means Of postal
The first grinding device was called
the saddle stone. The Greeks and Ro-
mans knew 81. and It Is stIil in use in
some primitive lands It consisted Of a
stone With a shallow hole IN H. In this
the grain was placed and then rubbed
with smother stone. Tho miles Of proud
Babylon. Nneveh. Assyria and Egypt
used this process The miller in Egypt at

next step in progress in milling. In this

Tho first entry Of the steam mill into
the world Is announced In the Gentle

has lately been made and Is now carry

municates a power OF working thirty

ordinate machinery for building. eto This
promises great profit ~ the inventor can
carry II into effect at n moderate ex
peDse."
This mill stood at one end Of the Black

milling has advanced In its entire histor,
Is in use today In some quarter OF the
