One Thousand Are Needed in France
AT Once for Work with Gen.

DR.. F. NJ. Crosby, of the local draft
board, has received a copy of Provost
Marshal Gen. Crowder's recent order
calling TO. the mobilization of 1000
brlcklayers urgently needed by Gen,
Pershing at once.
Local boards are called upon to ex-
anime questionnaires now being re-
turned and report as rapidly as pos
sible on the number of bricklayers of
draft age available for service.
Only white bricklayers will be taken
either by draft or by volunteer induc-
ton into the military service thru 10.
cal boards. They will be forwarded to
Kelley Field, San Antonio, Texas. The
purpose for which they are to be used
in France is not disclosed.

lions. The bricklayers in any boards
Jurisdiction will be assembled in order
OF their draft number, relationship to

THE STORAGE BATTERY.

u 10 . Willing Servant, but 10 Delicate
and Requires Care.
IL you place fine, twenty-one Jewel
watch in tin case you will not expect
1t to receive very respectful treatment
at the hands of any one who does not
know the value Of the movement that
the case contains.
Probably the psychological effect of
the rough appearing storage battery box
is somewhat the same upon the average
motorist. Could he realize the delicacy
of the parts inside and the care and
time required in their manufacture and
assembly he would be more inclined to
treat his storage battery as he would
his full jeweled watch inclosed in its
eighteen caratgold case.
When we consider that this box, oc-
cupying scarcely more than half of q
cubic foot OF space, furnishes the cur
rent that takes the place Of back break
ing crank turning, that lights the head
lights, ignites the spark and operates
the horn, we will be impressed with the
fact that it is indeed. the very essence
Of concentrated power.
But this power cannot be delivered
unless it is properly stored. In other
words, the storage battery is not a
power producer, but rather q power
reservoir. This reservoir Is filled at q
certain moderate rate by means Of the
generator, which should operate when
ever the engine of the car is in motion.
II we look upon the generator as sup
plying small, steady stream Of cur
rent to the reservoir and consider that
the starter represents drain on this
reservoir comparable to that prevailing
when the stopper is removed from the

derstand the reason for the statement
Of the battery manufacturer to the eff
feet that the current demanded for one
minutes operation of the starter re.
Quires at least twenty minutes normal
running Of the car for full replacement.
This fact will also possibly serve to ex-
plain why adjustments of the carbu-
rotor and spark plug making for easy
starting Of the engine add to the life OF
battery through the elimination Of
undue strain caused by the starter.
The storage battery is a willing serv-
ant and will deliver as much or as little
current as is required. 1t will give up
its last ounce Of strength in vain eff
fort to crank and start stiff and balky
engine until there is scarcely power
enough remaining to furnish the tiny
current necessary for the formation OF

THE KAIsER.s DREAM

The following poem has been sent
from VIM. McCachlan, who is serving
with the 18th Argyll and Sutherland
Highlanders at the front. port Hope
Weekly Times.)
There's a story now current, though
strange as it may seem,
Of the great Kaiser Bill and his
wonderful dream.
Being tired of. the allies, he laid down
in bed,
And amongst other things he dreamt
he was dead.
And in fine coffin was lying in state
With guard of brave Belgians who
mourned his fate.
He wasn't long dead till he found to
his cost,
That his soul, like his soldiers, had
gone to be lost.
On leaving the earth to Heaven he
went straight
And arriving up there gave knock
at the gate.
But st. Peter looked out and in voice
loud and clear
Said, "Be gone Kaiser Bill, we don t
want you here"
"Well," said the Kaiser, ''that's very
uncivil,
I suppose after this I must go to the
divil."
So he turned on his heel and off he did
go,
At the top of his speed to the re-
gions below;
But when he got there he was filled
with dismay,
When waiting outside he heard Old
Nick say
To his imps: "Now look here, boys, I
give you warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
in the morning.
But don't let him in, for to me it's
quite clear,
He's very bad man, and we don't
want him here.
If once he gets in therell be no end
of quarrels,
In fact I'm afraid he'll corrupt out
good morals"
20, Satanl dear friend" the Kaiser
then cried,
Excuse me for listening, Will,
: waiting outside.
If you don't admit me, where can /
go?"
"Indeed!" cried the devil, 81 really
don't know"
"Oh, do let me in, I'm feeling quite
cold"
Said the Kaiser, quite anxious to en-
ter Nick's fold.
