 But while Klein was watching the bombardment, strangely amused by his memories of passed Independence Days, he received orders to report to commanding officer of the unit to which he was attached. This officer gave Klein 8 message to deliver at once, the carrying of this message meaning that he would have to ride straight through a hot barrage that had just been laid down.
 Without a moments hesitation, with eagerness even, the former clown-a mighty serious-minded courier now took the message, mounted his mo- torcycle and started on his perilous ride.
 "The racket sounded as though a hundred boiler factories had broken Ioose," said Klein later, ''but put or full steam, and the old motorcycle leaped ahead like kangaroo.
 "Bing! A big shell busted only 10 feet from my machine. Bang! An other exploded to the left of me, and I put on some more steam. Then T whopper hissed over me just missing the top of my tin derby, but kept or l going.
 Say, once I rode a white mule ir the circus that no one else could ride I-he broke my arm and tattooed mt with cuts and bruises. The mule; name was Snowball, and that anima seemed to have hundred heels every time tried to get on her back. But i believe me, one boche shell is worst than a hundred Snowballs.

OSTRICH

The ostrich plume, it has been said, is always more. or less popular for millinery purposes; this year, how ever, 1t Is to be rather more so than it has been for some seasons past. Many will be the hats adorned with these dainty, fluffy things. They are to be coiled around the crowns of hats or spread out upon the brims, their curly fronGs slightly overhanging the edges; also, in some cases, they-the smaller ones-will stand upright, at tached to smart little turbans. How ever, the rather flat arrangement around the brim of large and other wise plain velvet hat is spoken of as a favorite.

Apples kept through the winter lose flavor. To those you cook, add the syrup left from canned fruit of almost any kind, but especially from quinces, peaches or cherries. This will also partly sweeten them so that less sugar will be needed.
 If the soles of walking shoes are dipped in melted wax once in three or four weeks they will last twice as long and be waterproof. A small sum will buy enough wax for dozen pairs.
 If you are invited out to a meal and take a small child with you, be sure to spread a paper on the floor under the child's chair. This will catch the crumbs which are sure to drop and the hostess will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

EXPERT FOR PUBLIC LANDS
CHAIRMAN

Although the best of the public
lands have passed into private owner
ship under the various homestead and
mining laws, yet there is still large
area of land left in the public domain.
To shape public land legislation for
the future will be even more difficult
than in the past, for the very reason
that unappropriated land is less in
quantity and less desirable in char
acter. To encourage men to settle
upon and utilize the remaining vacant
areas will be no small task. 1t is for
tunate for the country, therefore, and
particularly for the est, that Repre-
sentative Nicholas J. Sinnott of Ore
gon will become chairman of the pub
lie lands committee of the house when
the republicans resume control next
March. Sinnott has been a resident
of the Columbia river basin since the
days when its most numerous inhabi-
tants were Indians. All his life he
has been in close contact with the
pioneers-the settlers who conquer
ed the wilderness. AS an attorney he
became an expert in public land law.
AS the spokesman of homesteaders
he became familiar with all their diff
culties and privations. His address
on the water power bill is said to be
the best and most thorough discus
sion of water right law, from the
standpoint of federal jurisdiction, ev-
err presented anywhere. His legal
training combined with his personal
knowledge of the homesteader's diff
culties will enable him to render pc
culiarly valuable service as chairman
Of the public lands committee.
