 General von Ardenne discusses var ious developments of the Flanders fighting. among them the decrease in the use of hand grenades, which in close fighting are as dangerous to friends as to foes. They are being displaced by light machine guns and special units whose task is to seek out enemy batteries by sight or hearing. The muzzle flash of a gun, he says, is observed by from three 70 five stations connected by telephone and the po- sition of the gun is determined easily. Special apparatus has been designed to determine the distance and direc- tion from which the sound of a can aOn's discharge comes.

 German lghtln aeroplaneS, General von Ardenne says, now carry wireless receiving outfits which enable them to engage in combat promptly with enc my diers. This is necessitated by con ditions on the Flanders front, where whole squadrons of Entente machines can appear over the German line in a surprisingly short time. German squadrons starting from the ground to meet the invaders would be too late, so they must constantly be in the front lines either flying or ready for flight.

harsh rigors her acceptance Of four
helpless charges was certain to bring
to her.
But lnez was loyal and sincere. She
was naturally disappointed to see what
had been considered a great fortune

ton, however. all the debts were paid,
within a week she and her pensioners
were quite comfortably domiciled in

off the horses and carriages. The law
yer saved a moiety from the sale Of
the real estate and Inez found herself
the possessor of a liquid capital Of
about nine hundred dollars.
We're not so bad off, after all, she
observed cheeringly to her aunt and
uncle. 1--WE can all do some garden
work, There is a COW, some chickens,

Peruvian River of Horror.

There is a river of mystery and
horror in Peru, and the legends of
rich rubber regions and untold wealth
in gold are accompanied by tales of
those who went up it never to return.
Cashier Watkins, a naturalist, recent
ly returned from South America, tells
of the stream.
This river" he said, SIS the Colo
RADIO river, the richest river in Peru.
Great groves of rubber trees lie along
its course, and gold has been found
in it. But the Mascos, tribe of can
nibals, infest it. They still practice
cannibalism, and viii kill a man on
sight. Expeditions have been fitted
out and been heavily armed to 90 ex-
ploring for rubber and gold, but none
of them has ever returned. The saw
ages have killed the men and eaten
them and turned the canoes adrift.
They have come down the river
empty bottoms up or filled with sup
plies which the savages did not care to
remove"

Profound Essay on the Duck.

A little schoolgirl in Michigan has
written the following essay on the
duck:
''The duck is low, heavy-set bird.
lie is a mighty poor singer having n
coarse voice caused by getting so
many frogs In his neck and he likes
the water and carries a toy balloon in
his stomach TO keep from sinking the
duck has only two legs and they are
set so far back on his running gears
by nature that they come pretty near
missing his body, some ducks when
they get biz curls on their tails are
called brakes and don't have TO set or
hatch but just loaf and 20 swimming

THEY COME HIGH AND WE DON'T

ANYWAY.

Every person that knows the con-
gress of the United States must have
been rather jolted to read that its

more
You might think they cost it plenty
now ST., 500 for salary 81, 500 allow
ance for private secretary, additional
items for mileage, stationery, supplies
and sundries
To these pleasant features these gen
tlemen have now voted to add $500 to
the allowance for private secretary,
and 5000 a year to each member for an
other clerk. Total, $40, 400 on the sal
airy list aud a lot besides.
The nation has on its hands at pre-.
sent collection of 435 of this article,
and considering the net results in any
thing but. it seems a mighty poor buy.
For instance, the present congress
was in session nine months and four
days, you might say continuously and
then had to let much of the work II
should have done to be TANNED
through in a hurry between now and
March a.
Most Of the barren result of our in
vestmeut in congressman isn't the con
gressmen's fault. The house is toe
large. No system on earth could get
first class results out of legislature of
435 members, all rafting around in the
show.
But ia view of treasury deficit of
nearly $500. 600, GOO, to say nothing OF
any financial storm signals there may
be flying, this doesn't seem to be the
grand old time to be boosting this par
ticular expense. AT least, not until we
