GERMAN TRENCHES HAVE
ALL HOME COMFORTS.

Paris - Soldiers back from
the battle of the Somme always
tell wonderful stories of the Ger
man dugouts, a maze of under
ground dwellings and passages,
with large chambers for the men
and finely appointed rooms for
the Officers. One correspondent
says:
1.-The German front in the west
rs like one huge struggling vii
lage, built of wood and strung
out along "a road 800 miles long.
OF course, the houses are all
underground. Still they are
houses, of one or two floors, built
To certain official designs. The
main entrance from the trench
level Is, sometimes at any rate,
through a steel door, of a pat
tern apparently standardized, so
that hundreds may come from the
factory on one order and missing
parts be easily replaced.
Inside flight of from 20
To 30 stairs leads down at AN
easy angle. The treads of the
stairs and the descending of
the roof of the staircase are
formed of mining frames of stout
timber, with double top sills
the walls of thick planks, notch
eel at the top and bottom TO fit
the frames, and strengthened
with iron tie-rods running from
top To bottom of the stairs and
with thick wooden struts at right
angles to those.
AT the foot of the stairs a
tunneled corridor runs straight,
for anything up To 30 yards, and
from this are open rooms and
minor passages ON each side. In
many dugouts second stair
ease, or two staireases, lead to n
lower floor, which may be 30 To
40 feet below the trench level.
All these stalrcases, Passages and
rooms are in the best specimens,
completely lined with wood and
as fully strengthened with it as
the entrance staircase.
Elm one typical dugout, used
AZ dressing station, there are
beds for 81 patients and fair
sized room. Another, near
Mametz, was designed to house
a whole company of 800 men,
the needful kitchens, provision
and munition storerooms, a well,
a forge riveted with sheets of
east iron, an engine room, and a
motor room.
''Many of the captured dug
outs were lighted by electricity.
In the officers quarters there
have been found full-length mir
rors, comfortable bedsteads, cuSh-
Toned arm chairs and some pie
lures. One room is lined with
glazed wallpaper, and the present
English occupant is convinced by
circumstantial evidence that his
predecessor lived there with his
wife and child. Clearly there was
no expectation of an early move.

KEEPING UP HIGHWAYS.
The Season for This Work is Ap
preaching Now.

The season for working on the
highways approaches. To many pub
lie officials, the problem of keeping
up the roads with the limited ap-
propria tions available, in face OF
modern automctiie and motor truck
business, seems almost insolublc.
There are observers who say the
roads are growing worse rather than
better, in spite of the millions beinS
spent. The road builders of ten
years ago did not realize the heavy
strain that would have to be met.
Touring motorists say they do not
usually find the worst strips of road
in the rural districts, at least not on
the main lines of travel. They get
their worst jolts in sizable and sub
stantial towns. 1t is here that the
motor trucks and other heavy team
ing tear up the surface, and make
many a handsome street one Ions
humpy surface.
A visitor from another city was
giving some interesting experience
from his home town. The appropri-
alton for streets was cut down one
third two years ago, and no perman-
ent work could be attempted. The
superintendent decided that all they
could do was simply to keep the sur
face from growing worse. So the
men filled up every little hollow they
could find, and rolled it down solid
ly.
AS soon as new hollows started,
they were filled and rolled. When
heavy showers came, the water ran
off and formed few puddles. There
were no depressions in which heavy
trucks could get leverage, and
grind out still deeper holes. 1t was
his opinion that under this policy OF
watchfulness, the roads had held
their own and probably improved,
though with smaller expenditure.
1t is of course a mistake to stop
permanent work on the roads. Ev-
cry municipality should do some OF
it each year. But the policy of in
slant watchfulness to stop hollows
from enlarging into holes will do
wonders. A shoyelful in little de-
preston today may gave CARLOAD
next month.

Many Subjects Have Been Discussed
i'm What Has Been Called
Baby Week.

1t is perhaps not considered the
province of the editor to discuss such
supposedly woman's column subjects
as the above. The traditional wo-
mans page. SO often prepared by a
shirtsleeved man smoking a smelly
black pipe, rarely deceives woman
kind. But even the lords of crea-
ton may well ponder over many sub
jects discussed in what has been
called Baby Week." This was estab-
lished for the second week in March
by the Baby Bureau of the U. S. La
| Dor department.
In tenement districts of large
manufacturing towns, the baby ques-
ton seems very vital. The sight OF
so many anaemic children does not

Probably they have been under

prices high, they economic on

The children suffer even more, not
having had any earlier foundation

Social workers say the food given
such infants is Litiful to see. Moth

ance. Many babies are given thin

Handel seems to have had a spe-
| cial feeling with regard to his mas
terpiece "The Messiah"-as if il
were too sacred to be merely used
for making money by, like his other
works. He very frequently assisted
at it's performance for the benefit Of
the Founding Hospital, and he letl
the score as precious gift to the
governor of that institution. This
work brought about $51,495 to the
funds of the hospital
In this connection a fine saying OF
his may be repeated. Lord Kinnoui
had complimented him on the noble
entertainment" which by "Tha
Messiah" he hal lately given the
town. "My lord,' said Handel, Il
should be sorry if 1 only entertained
them-I wish to make them BETTER
And when some one questioned him
on his feelings when composing the
Hallelujah Chorus, he replied in his
peculiar English, 81 did think l did
see all heaven before me, and the
great God himself" What a strik-
ing remark that was of poor old
George III, in describing the "Pas.
toral symphony in this oratorio--
Il could see the stars shining
through it.'
But one must not think that the
Hallelujah Chorus and the Pastoral
Symphony" are the only great things
in this oratorio. In fact it abounds
IN good things. For instance, the
wonderful solo for tenor, "Comfo.t
Ye Ny People" which comes imme-
diately after the opening overture.

FUND IS ENORMOUS
Direct Taxes and Motor Registration
Will Yield About $11 600, 900.

Auditors Figures Show Each Pei
son in State Will Pay $21.22.

Iowa property owners will pay
S9,617,915 in direct taxes in 1916
for road and bridge work, according
to the financial report prepared by
w. H. Williams, revenue clerk in the
auditor of states Office To this will
he added between $1,50O,O0O and

heen a general increase over the state
of Ill per cent in taxes compared
with 1915.
In 1915 the taxpayers turned in

ted to the auditor of state, every
resident of Iowa will pay $21.22 in
taxes in 1915. The per capita tax in
1915 was s20.S9. The increase is
greater than these figures indicate
for the reason that the per capita

census, which gave the state 2,224,-
600 population. The 1916 per capita
tax is based on the 1915 census whtcn

ton.

do you favor warning Americans
to keep off belligerent merchantmen
carrying guns?" This question was
asked of all the Iowa congressman
last week Hull, Haugen, Good,
Ramseyer, Dowell and Green, Repub-
licans, and Steele, Democrat, favor
ed the idea. Kennedy, Sweet. Tow
ner and Woods, Republicans, did not
express an opinion. We never could
see why the United States did not
make this warning when the war
started. England was not too proui
to do it when Japan and Russia
fought. England just said her peo-
pie would have to take their own
chances if they went to Japanese or
Russian boats.-New Hampton Ga
