\ good wife is to a man wisdom
and courage, strength, hope and
endurance. A bad one is confusion,
weakness, discontinue and despais.
No condition is hopeless when the
vile possesses firmness, decision,
energy and economy. There is no
outward property which can coun-
teract Incidence, lolly, and eXtrav-
agance at home, No spirit can long
resist bad domestic influence.

To a young man away from
home friendless and fOrlorn in a
great city, the hours of peril are
those between sunset and bedtime.
The moon and stars see more evil
in a single hour than the sun in a
whole days circuit. The poets
visions of evening are all compact
of tender and soothing images.
1t brings the wanderer to his
home, the child to his mother ;
arms, and the OK to his stall and
the weary laborer to his rest. But
to the tender hearted youth who is
thrown upon the rocks of a pitiless
city, and stands homeless among a
thousand homes, the approach of
evening brings with it an aching
sense of loneliness and desolation
which comes down on the spirit
like darkness upon the earth. In
this mood his best impulses become
a snare to him, and he is led astray
because he is social, affectionate,
sympathetic, and warm hearted.

many of the tractors sent to England
had been armored and put in service
nor did he know what equipment the
British war Office had placed upon
cars to be used in this work.
1T is true said Mr. Baker, "that
anything or through almost anything.
They can sraddle trench, go through
a swamp, roll over logs, or climb
shell craters like a car of juggernaut.
1t looks uncanny to see them crawl
along the ground, just like huge
caterpillar. In thick forest, if they
encountered trees they could not brush
out of their way, they could easily be
used to uproot them and clear their
own paths"
Mr.. Baker said the tractors sent to
England weigh about $4,000 pounds
each, develop 120 horse power and are
built of steel. The caterpillar feature,
/ he explained, is of the utmost import
ance. Speaking broadly, the tractor
crawls on two belts, with corrugated
surfaces on either side of the body.
The corrugated surface is on the
ground. On the inside of the belts,
on each side of the body, are two lines
of steel rails, making four lines in all
These rails are in short sections, Joint
ed and operate over a cogged mechan-
ism that actually lays them down with
their belt attachment as the tracer
moves ahead and picks them up again
so that the car runs on its own self
made track continuously The short
joints in the rails make it easy to turn
to right or left. The body is support
ed by trucks with five wheels, some
thing like small railroad tracks. These
trucks never touch the ground, but run
upon the steel rails. In the ordinary
tractor about seven feet of belt and
rails is on the ground at one time.
The width of the track used on the
machines sent to England, Mr.. Baker
said, was "a inches. He declared that
the ground pressure is about three
pounds per square inch where a thirty
inch track is used, or less than that
of the foot of either man or horse.
Although Mr.. Baker would not dis
cuss the matter, it was understood the

British Tanks Used in Recent Ger
man Assault Made in Illinois

Washington, Sept. 1s.-The British
tanks" the armored motor ears used
in recent assaults on German trenches
in northern France so successfully as
to attract world wide attention, were
built for the most part in Peoria, H.,
in the form of caterpillar tractors de-
signed many years before the war be
gan to meet some of the difficult prob
lens of modern farming. Except for
their armor, their machine guns and
their crews, thousands like them are
in use today in the United States in
blowing, digging bitches, and other
labors less heroic than war.
NJ. NJ. Baker, vice president of the
Holt Manufacturing company, ex-
planned here today that it was ma
chimes made by his company at its
Peoria plant that had hurled German
trenches, walked through forests and
crawled over shell craters in the face
of intense gun fire.
1--WE have sold about 1000 caterpil-
lar tractors to the British govern
ment," said Mr. Baker. 1--WE have had
nothing to do with putting armor on
them or placing machine guns, but
some of our men at Aldershot, Eng
land, recently were notified that the
British government intended to armoI
some of the tractors and use then
for work other than the usual towing
of big guns.
Germany had some of these trac.
tors before the war began, and al
though | do not understand just how
il occurred / believe she may have got
others since then. We have sent some
to France and some to Russia. So far
as l know, up until the recent ap
pearance Of the motor cars the trac
tors were used only to tow big guns
| understand that Germany had about
forty of them in this work before
Liege early in the war and recent
photographs show that the British arr
using some of them now for the SAME
purpose.
Mr. Baker said he did not know how
