sumed his work after laying off
nearly five months on account of a
broken ankle received by falling on

ENGLISH SPARROW
 IN PIE l SA DAINTY
(NAN York Heraldl

(New York Herald)
 Blackbird pies have been heralded in
 song and fable since the beginning of time, but no hero was ever more great ly surprised when confronted by the four and twenty blackbirds of leSen- dary fame than were the home eco-
 monies experts of the food admins tration when confronted with sparrow
 pie the other day when guests at luncheon served them ,in Washington
 by the Philadelphia Ledger. The birds
 were caught in the suburbs of Phil
 adelphia by James Hunt, ST.. of that city, who has started a movement to
 encourage the catching and eating of
 English sparrows in this country.
 | Sparrow pie is a staple English dainty. In this country English spar
 rows are considered a pest because ! they destroy grain, and therefore their | bodies make clean, wholesome food. 1 Special traps have been devised by which several dozen sparrows may be caught at once. either by day or night.
 Sparrows are easily prepared for cook ing by a simple cleaning process of cutting away the necks and legs and
 peeling the skin off, feathers and all.

Out of No Man s Land
 By HARRY IRVING GREENE

Father:
 This wonderful letter that am writ ing you--a miracle letter. I was hurt, badly, but am going to get well. It happened like this-you know I am not allowed to name place or date.
 No Mans Land We were raiding 1t by night, three of us--scouting, proving. It was as dark as the dun. geons of inferno. but often they sent up signal shells-roseate, bursting things that bathed all that evil land in a blood-red light. When their glare fared over US we had to stand as we were caught, hand or foot upraised-- moveless objects in the red glow until the light snuffed out and all was dark once more.
 We reached the German entangle- ments and began cutting them with our oiled clippers. We were careful, very careful, but we were not careful enough. They heard us. Over came two bombs.
 The three of us went down in row. Jack and Tom never knew what hit them. I was hurt too badly to be able to get up.
 I lay there-sll night-groaning- calling for help. Twenty feet away I could hear the boehes in their trench laughing at me, cursing me.
 Morning! My last. could endure 1t no more. I was dying-bleeding I said my last prayer.
 And then!
 Since the dawn of time do not be- lieve the world has seen a more glori- ous thing. From the hill tops our ar tllery laid down box barrage fire and under it, heads raised like em. perors and shoulders squared, came six men, stretcher bearers. As though they had been on parade they came forth in broad daylight into the very teeth of the enemy and picked up what was left of Jack. Tom and me.
 As though we had been their own brothers they bore US back, swiftly gently. Then do you know what those Huns did?
 Opened fire on us-the dead, the bearers of the dead and man who lay quivering at the threshold of death.
 Two of the sir bearers went down The other four brought them back along with what was left of Jack, Tom and me.
 And when 1 awoke in the hospital after the operation. deathly sick but back from the nightmare-land and with the sunlight upon me, whom dc you think I saw bending over me, the red cross upon her sleeve, babbling laughing, crying, kissing me? | JANEi

 In about ten weeks the larvae en- case themselves finally and enter the pupa or crysalis stage. This lasts at least two weeks, after which the moth emerges. The moths are active until cold kills them.
 Remedies for the flying moth stage are worse than useless" writes MT. Benedict. Tobacco smoke and cedar do not repel or injure the moths. But camphor and naphthalene in closed places kill the larvae and the eggs. Kerosene and gasoline fumes are not effective.
 Mir. Benedica tried to find some sub stance with which garments could be impregnated to make them death to moths but harmless to human beings, for. he writes. If baby wants to chew mothers dress or it's woolen blanket it must be able to do so with im- punity.' After four years of e&- perimenting he gave up the search as bad job.

SHIP MATTRESS IS
 A LIFE PRESENTER
(Popular Science)


 It must afford considerable consola- ton to the navy recruit to realize that the mattress on which he sleeps so comfortably at night will stand him in good stead in case of an accident Co the ship. In fact, the very buoyon- cy which made it such a comfortable bed is also the quality which makes is possible for it to be converted at a moments notice into a life pre- server.
 |. The mattresses are stuffed with ka- pak, a lighter than cork material which is imported from the West h. dies in bales similar to bales of cot ton. It is made from the seeds aud silk of q tree not unlike the cotton wood tree. but instead of being in puffy bales the kapok is in slender threads, which when compressed make a mass that is six times more buoy ant than cork
 Thin layers of the kapok are en- closed in strong ticking for the mat tresses. Each mattress is provided with tapes long enough to tie around the body and over the shoulders. Ii requires only a minute to adjust them.

 At tho beginning of the war the buildings in which these kiddies now live and play and study were barracks for French boys training to be sol diers.

LARVAE OF MOTHS
 THRIVE ON POISONS

The larvae of clothes moths--it is tho larvae that do the damage-are immune to all the poisons that have been tried on them. They will eat cloth or fur that has been soaked in corrosive sublimate or other common poisons and seemingly thrive on them.
 Ralph C. Benedict of Brooklyn com munieates to Science the results of some four years of experiments with clothes moths in which he used many hundred pounds of old rags and furs and employed boys to pick the larvae from them. MT. Benedict found that each female moth lays from thirty to 160 eggs, tho average being between forty and fifty, and dies as soon as she has laid them. She carefully places the eggs among tho threads oi tho cloth and fastens them with some glutinous substance.
 Tho eggs hatch in seven days, the larvae emerging ns translucent white active caterpillars about a milimeter long. They begin feeding at once and take on whatever color the cloth they cat may have. Some of them weave a case or a tunnel several times their own length, in which they live, feed ing out of tho end. These cases or tunnels are composed of threads or hairs of tho stuff on which they arc feeding. When they change theiI feeding plaoo they either extend their gallery or leave it and build a new one. Others graze around promis- cuously.
 The quiter ones do more damage than the roaming kind, and Mir. Bene- dict suggests that tho former may probably be the. females--another in- stance of the application of Kipling's law that the female of the species is deadlfer than the male
 Moth holes" he writes. 'usually appear as round holes or as dumbel shaped slits. Tho latter are made by the feeding of stationary larvae. tho straight slit part being cut out under.
