Better Ship Loading
HELPS Our Allies.

Economics of approximately 20 per
cent in shipping weight and 80 per
cent in shipping space have resulted
from improved methods of packing
merchandise for overseas practiced
by the Army Quartermaster Corps.
This is equivalent to about $500 tons
space per month.
For the shipment of clothing and
equipage, including such items as
blankets, barrack bags, towels, shelter
tent halves, bedding and other dry
goods, in addition to wearing apparel,
baling has been substituted for box
ing, and the weight of the lumber has
been saved The bales average 30 by
10 by Is inches and weigh 80 pounds.
They are bound with not less than A
cold rolled unannealed steel bands
Burlap over waterproofed heavy pa
per is used to cover the bales, and
there are two "ears" on either end
of the bale for handling.
Women are stevedores on the docks
in France. There is a law they shall

Girls After You Have Read This
Story of One who Had No Men
Folks to Go to War so Went Herself

"I've got red hair, know how to
rough it, and hope they send me just
as near the front lines as they can"
Miss Rose Glass of Seattle, Wash,
a graduate Of the University of Wash
ington and real westerner, gave
these as her qualifications, just before
she left New York for the Y. nj. G.
A.
She has studied at Columbia and
at University of California, she's a
member of National Honor Society
for scholarship, she's just on the point
of taking her M. A., and she's known
as one of the best high-school history
teachers in the west. All this may
help, of course, but these are the real
qualifications for the job, she says:
She has followed elk-trails through
the western mountains with the near
est road more than 60 miles away.
She has ridden horseback for 1875 miles
at a stretch. She has gotten along
on very little food Tor days while on
trail She has gone swimming in icy
mountain streams. She can paddle an
Indian canoe as well as she can dance,
and can shoot as well as she can play
tennis.
"When I've always roughed it for
fun before, why shouldn't | do it now
that there's real need?" said Miss
Glass. "The Y. M. c. A. needs $50
women every month in France, and
want to be one of them. We're
proud to remember out home that one
of the two women who were killed
overseas in Y. NJ. G.. A. work was q

The COMING OF
The AMERICANS
This Story Gives an Idea of What the
Coming of the Americans Has
Meant to the People of France.

How division of American sold
iers in France played raven to the
Elijah of a family of starving French
refugees, found covering in the attic
of an old meat market, and how Eli
jah, in turn, made the ravens COM
Portable, is told in this story, written
wv a Y. Nj. c. A. war work secretary
"a France:
"a division of our troops were on
the move. For thirty-eight hours the
men had been on the cars. Then they
had detrained, and started to hike for
the front Two days of marching had
left them stiff and tired.
"The Y. M. C. A. men had gone
ahead of them. They knew that the
troops would be in a certain village
by a certain time. So they loaded
three big trucks with canteen sup
plies, hustled to the village and loaded
around for canteen.
"They found an old meat market
with the shutters up, located the own
er. and got the key. The supplies
were unloaded, and the trucks started
back to town. The two men left be-
hind to open up lighted candle and
began an investigation.
"Up the steep stone steps they
found a room, with family of refu-
gees crouched inside. The old fire
place had been opened. A few twigs,
the size of lead pencil, made fire
as big as a coffee cup.
"A mother nursing baby sat on
the boor in front of the fire, two
small girls whose eyes seemed I'M
naturally big in their thin, little fac
es covering near her, scared by the
steps they had heard. A daughter
about fifteen years old was cooking
some nondescript bits of food in an
old frying-pan. The father, little
man, badly crippled in the early bat
ties of the war, started forward, as
the strangers approached.
"They spoke no English, and our
men spoke no French, but suddenly
they understood. These were les
Americaines!' They would not be
hurt. They were even going to be
fed.
"When the American soldiers came,
they found the mother making choco-
late for them, while the oldest daugh-
ter scrubbed up the old market, hum
ming the 'Marseillaise' as she worked
The two little girls, bursting with
Importance, ran on small errands. The
baby sat on the canteen counter
chuckling at them.
"As they entered, the crippled lit
tie Frenchman, busy opening packing
cases, Strengthened himself as well as
he could, and saluted them. There
was pride in the way he did it. He
had worn a uniform, too.
"The American boys adopted the
family, at once. The Y. M. C. A. mer
had fed the refugees, of course, but
the soldiers insisted upon buying then
more food in the canteen. They tossed
the baby in the air, and began teach
ing the little girls American slang.
"That night there was real fire
in the fireplace upstairs, and rea
food on the table Windows, boarded
up so long, were open. The family
chartered away at the top of theil
voices, instead of whispering, as they
had done. There was nothing to be
afraid of now.

Gilated and her body grew rigid.
Across the snow waste man was

to her. The heart Of the girl stopped,

A stress of emotion had swept her

So far the mind Of the Scotsman fol-
lowed the probabilities logically, but
at this point it made jump. There
were at least two robbers. He was
morally sure Of that, for this was not
o one-man job. Now, if Holt had with
him q companion, who of all those In
Kusiak was the most likely man? he
was friendless, grabbed old fellow.
Since coming to Kusiak old Gideon had
been seen constantly with one man.
They had been with each other at din
ner ard had later left the hotel to-
gether. The name Of the man who had
been so friendly with old Holt was
Gordon Ellfot-and Elliot not only was
another enemy of Macdonald, but had
very good reasons for getting out OF
the country just now.
The strong jaw Of the mine-owner
stood out saliently as he gave short,
sharp orders to men in the crowd. One
was to get the coroner, a second Wally
Selfridge, another the United States
district attorney. He divided the rest
Into squads to guard the roads leading
put Of town and to see that nobody
passed for the present.
The coroner took charge of the body
and Wally of the bank. The mine
owner and the district attorney walked
up to the hotel together. AS soon as
they had explained what they wanted.
the landlord got a passkey and took
them to the room Holt had used.
Apparently the bed had been slept
In. In the waste-paper basket the dis
trict attorney found something which
he held up in significant silence.
Macdonald stepped forward and took
from him a small cloth sack.
zone Of those we keep our gold in
at the bank" said the Scotsman after
a close examination. "This definitely
ties up Holt with the robbery. Now
for Elliot" -
"He left the hotel with Holt about
five this morning, the porter says"
This was the contribution of the land
lord.
The room Of Gordon Elliot was in
great disorder. Garments had been
tossed on the bed and on every chair
and had been left to lie wherever they
had chanced to fall. Plainly their
owner had been in great haste.
Macdonald looked through the closet
where clothes hung. "His new fur
coat is not here-nor his trail boots.
Looks to MY as though MIR. Gordon had
hit the trail with his friend Holt"
All doubt of this was removed when
a prospector reached town with the
news that he had met Holt and Elliot
travelling toward the divide as fast as
they could drive the dogs.
The big Scotsman ordered his team
of Siberian wolf hounds made ready
for the trail. AS he donned his heavy
furs, Colby Macdonald smiled with
deep satisfaction. He had Elliot on
the run at last.
Just as he closed the door Of his
room, Macdonald heard the telephone
bell ring. He hesitated, then shrugged
his shoulders and strobe out into the
storm. If he had answered the call
he would have learned from Diane,
who was at the other end of the line,
that the stage upon which Sheba had
started for Katma had not reached the
roadhouse at Smiths Crossing.
Five minutes later the winners of
the great Alaska sweepstakes were

forty pounds to the dog, for they want
ed to make speed. 1t was not cold for
Alaska. They packed their fur coats
on the sled and wore mittens of
moosehide with duffel lining, on their
feet mukluks above "German" socks.
Holt had been sour-dough miner too
long to let his partner perspire from
overmuch clothing. He knew the dan
ger of pneumonia from q sudden cool
ing of the~heat of the body.
Old Gideon took seven Of his dogs,
driving them two abreast. Six were
huskies, rangy, muscular animals with
thick, dense coats. They were in the
best of spirits and carried their tails
erect like their Mnlemute leader.
Butch, though a Malemute, had q
strong strain of collie in him. It gave
him a sense of responsibility. His bus
mess was to see that the team kept
strung out on the trail, and Butch was
a postmaster in the matter Of disci-
pline. His weight was 93 fighting
pounds, and he could thrash In short
order any dog in the team.
The snow was wet and soft. It clung
to everything it touched. The dogs
carried pounds Of it in the tufts of
hair that rose from their backs. An
icy pyramid had to be knocked from
the sled every half-hour. The snow
shoes were heavy with white slush.
Densely laden spruce boughs brushed
the faces Of the men and showered
them with unexpected little ava
lanches.
. They took turns in going ahead OF
the team and breaking trail. 1t was
heavy, muscle-grinding work. Before
noon they were both utterly fatigued.
They dragged forward through the
slush, lifting their laden feet sluggish
~. They must keep going, and they
did, but it seemed to them that every
step must be the last.
Shortly after noon the storm wore
itself out. The temperature had been
steadily falling and now It took a rapid
drop. They were passing through tim
Der, and on a little slope they built
with a good deal of difficulty a fire.
BY careful nursing they soon had a
great bonfire going, In front OF which
they put their wet socks, mukluks,
scarfs and parkas to dry. The toes Of
the dogs had become packed with little
ice balls. Gordon and Holt had to 60
carefully over the feet of each animal
to dig these out.
The old-tfmer thawed out slab of
dried salmon till the fat began to
frizzle and fed each husky a pound of
the fish and lump of tallow. He and
Gordon made pot of tea and ate some
meat sandwiches they had brought
with them, to save cooking until night
When they took the trail again It
was in moccasins instead of mukluks.
The weather was growing steadily
colder, and with each degree of fall in
the thermometer the trail was easier.
