HOW l AM DOING MY BIT
 TO HELP WIN THE WAR
(By P. Lansfell, Section Foreman.
 Pere Marquette Railroad.)

Nby r. Lansnell, Section Foreman, Pere Marquette Railroad.)
 Otisville, Mich., Oct. 3.-Track walk ing may not appeal to many people as a patriotic sort of job. It didn't to me, when the United States first en- tered the war. But since then I've seen possibilities in it that make me believe that we trackmen have it with Tn our power to express a brand of patriotism that is well worth while. For 1t is over the rails we watch that the troops and food and munitions and all the other things needed by this country and the allies are transported. and 1t is upon our vigilance and care that the safety of the trains bearing these necessities very largely de- pends
 By watching out for and repairing breaks and damages in rails or ties conditions that might plunge a whole trainload of soldiers to destruction or ruin thousands of dollars worth of war supplies-isnt the only kind of patriotic work at our disposal. By being careful and economical with ma terials-getting one hundred per cent service out of every spike and tie-we can save materials that are becoming more and more difficult for the rail roads to secure, and thereby avert waste and delay.
 There is another bit of conservation work that we trackmen are doing which may also be of interest to the public. We are keeping all right of way fences in good repair so as to re- duce the amount of live stock that is killed by trains.
 To be sure, none of these things are new to our line of work. But we are trying to do them a little better now for the sake of Uncle Sam. It's a small part to play in a war that in- wolves practically the whole world, but to a man like myself, who has seen fifty three years of service over the same stretch of track, the pat riotic possibilities in the job make it lose some of its monotony. And I reckon the thousands of other men who walk the tracks daily for the rail road feel the same as I do.

OF the personal interest which he. in
common with thousands Of others, had
in the old scout, but because of many
intimate stories he had heard of the

him by the late E. H Terrell who was

Col. Cody was in Berlin with his
show when emperor William and four
Of the kings, then reigning in Germany,
expressed a desire TO take a ride in

them riding and after the ride was
over. the emperor said TO him Col

surroundings.
He was shown where wellington s
forces were when attacked by the
