"Suddcnly a movement started away

trenches situated on the hill to the
northeast Hurriedly the legion ad-

was passed. and then from almost every
point along the front before them came
the rattle of machine guns. The legion
did not pause; entire battalions began to
fall: the rafting continued, and the regi-
rnents melted away.
"The legionaires had fallen, struck be-
tween the knee and ankle by the balls
from the machine guns They started
to return to their trenches, using their
guns as crutchcs, some crawling; none
so seriously wounded that they could
not have entirely recovered had they
been able to get back to their trenches
and sent to hospitals. But suddenly a
fierce rain of shells from the German
batteries began to tear up the earth
over which the legionaires were crawl
ing and hobbling.
For a period of almost twenty
minutes the firing continued. Only a
few of the legion returned to their
trenches. The rest lay buried at the
foot of the hill in the trench dug by
the half-hour she'll fire.

Marches North to Champagne.

"In the fall of 1916 the legion march
ed north to Champagne to take part in
the offensive in that sector. For days
the French artillery had been pounding
away at the Boche trenches and barb
wire tntanglements: it was the fiercest
artillery duel that had taken place in
the history of the world. Day and night
for seven days the belching of huge
field guns tore up the earth. SO intense
was the fire that the vibration of the
air caused many of the troops to be-
come sick and faint, a sickness similar
TO sea sickness.
"At night the air was brilliant with
Illuminating fuses. The machine guns
would squtter and clacS at the least
suspicious object. Patrols were sent out
to prevent the Boche from erecting en-
tanglements while searchlights and
guns kept the sky abiaZe.

passing of midnight came the 9th of
September. The sun rising in the east

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair.

They do. not because 1t is q fad,|
but because they wish to obtain the]
greatest possible hair beauty and BE-
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that In
washing the hair 1t is never wise TO-
use a n-akeshift but is always ad~
visable to use preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our friends
say thev get the best results from q
simple home made canthrox mixtures
You can use this at a cost of about
three cents shampoo by getting some
canthrox from your druggist, and dis
solving d teaspoonful in a cup OF hot
water. This makes enough shampoo
liquid to apply to ali the hair instead
of just the top of the head, as with
most preparations, Dandruff, excesS
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear in the rinsing water. Your
hair will be so fluffy that 1t will look
