Got The BANANAS
ratriotic American in Border
Town Did Extra "Bit."
How Marching Boys in Olive Drab
Got DeIicacy Almost Under the
Eyes of the Discipline
Loving Sergeant

1t is midnight. In the border town
across the river the pOpulace has gone
to bed. The streets are deserted and
silent save for the measured tread of
the occasional policeman on his noe
turnal rounds. But the lights are still
glowing in the railway station on the
water front, their brightness intensi-
fed by the enveloping gloom.
A train of Pullmans rumbles in from
the ferry dock with a great jangling
of bells and creaking of wheels as the
brakes take hold In the stiffness of
the night the racket is magnified
thousandfod, but the town slumbers
on.
Above the incessant clang of the To-
cOmotive bell and the hiss of escaping
steam there comes to the ears of the
wayfarer from the States a sound that
instantly claims his attention-the
rhythmic tramp, tramp, of feet, hun
dreds, thousands of them it seems, as
the faint staccato becomes a muffied
roar. There is no resisting its lure.
The wayfarer turns in his tracks and
waits
"Left-turn rings ont the crisp
command close at hand and, with
/ wheel-like precision, a column of
marching men in the familiar olive
! drab rolls into view around the corner.
"YankS, sure as I'm alive!" eXclaimS
! the man from the States as he falls
into step and follows along the side
walk.
Yes, Yanks-Uncle Sans own
doughboys on their way TO Berlin via
the western front, and out to timber
up and get breath of fresh air while
a new engine is being hooked up.
On they come, alert, keen-eyed fel-
lows fresh from the training camps,
splendid Americans all, and eager for a
brush with the Hun.
Still the town slumbers-it is accus-
toned to such sights but to the Amer
lean, taken unawares, it is an inspiring
thing.
Far up the street, an oasis in the
black desert of night, a friendly light
beacons. As the column approaches
the boys recognize the familiar out
lines of fruit stand. The enterprising
merchant knows all about these mid
night "parades" and is prepared.
thousand pairs of eyes turn hungrily
to punches of yellow bananas dangling
from their hooks, but the trim young
sergeant is looking straight ahead
They are all business, those sergeants
The man from the States has seer
1t all; it is his chance. A crisp Ameri
can bank note quickly changes hands
and presently there is an empty hooE
where q bunch of bananas hung a mo
ment before. Magically, it seems, the
coveted fruit has found its way into
the rear ranks. Like a cork in rougl
sea the bulky thing is tossed alons
from line to line. growing constantly
smaller until the bare stalk is thrown
into the gutter, leaving a hundred
bulging pockets in its wake.
Thus did one patriotic fund sub
scriber do an extra bit for the boy'
of the olive drab. At any rate, h
wore the patriotic fund emblem on hi
coat.

Modern Arnor

Tho soldiers of old went forth to

Il protection, nevertheless hindered
them from putting forth their best
fighting strength. Today Martin Je-

has made it possible. for soldier to
be protected by armOr He is one of
several dozen inventors who have re-
invented the coat of mail.
The device is a bulletprOof metallic
structure, which surrounds the body
and extends from the top of the shoul-
dcrs to below the thighs. This steel
coat consists of two like parts held
together across the chest by means
of straps. Hooks attach the coat to
semi-cylindrical pieces of metal which
fit closely about the upper part of the
leg and are fastened behind by straps.
The inner surface of the armor is
padded. The head is protected by a
lined mask composed of the same
metal.-POpular Science Monthly.

Genuine Motives.

Not until the cuticle is probed

feeling cuticle of Indifference close

It is said that q serviceable substi-

"a parts of copper with six parts of
