is SAVED BY
HANDKERCHIEF

Of a dead German. 1t took ME a min
ute to realize what was happening and
l awoke to the sound Of bullets whiz-
cling past my head. That didn't disturb
me much. because I was wondering
why somebody hadn't buried the Ger
man. Looking around. however, all I
could see was dead Germans. 1t sud-
denly dawned on me that I was In No
Mans Land. OF all the places there
are to land In France and Germany I
had to land between the two.
'"Then l realized what n predicament
l was In and began to think up some
way to get out Of 1t. The thought came
to me that If l was nearer the German
lines than to the French, l had better
get rid of those incendiary balls In my
pocket, for If the Germans catch you
with them you are shot Mt once. l
climbed back into my machine to the
tune Of bullets and took out a load of
over 800 cartridges, threw them on the
ground and then removed my compass
and altimeter.
THE first thing l struck was a grave,
unfinished, with two Of the enemy in
1t. l eased myself down into 1t, lifted
up one OF the Germans and put the
cartridges-brneath him. l started
walking back to my machine. As l
got near It the Boche lines started
their mltrallleurs and rifles at me, and
the French, unaware that l was one of
them. also opened up. / had to walk
500 feet between the lines and 1t was
no joke with all that fire concentrated
in my direction. One bullet passed so
close to my face that l really felt the
wind. l decided that I'd have to go to
n of the lines, enemy or friend. but
just then l heard a machine overhead.
I looked up and saw white puffs break.

"On the way the fire got so hot I
had to fall face down, and I didn't
move for. l guess. five minutes. There
being no good reason for my being
shot like a dog, l yanked out my hand.

lines.
"They finally got 1t, after ten min.
utes Of waving, and I saw a French
officer reckoning me from a bit Of
woods. II there ever has been q faster
50.yard sprint I never heard Of 1t. I
ran so fast that l ran right into the
officer, and very nearly knocked his re.
! volver out Of his hand. I showed him
my Identification card and then started
cursing him for shooting at me. He
had been taking potshots at me out
there. He a%pologized. saying that he
could only see my head, because his
position was slightly lower than No
| Mans Land.
"They took me up to the divisional
general. and I reported that l had seen
more than 300 dead Germans and only

Birds and Animals Pretend
Violence in Play, but They
Stop Short in Exercising 1t.

Small birds chase each other about
in play, but perhaps the conduct of
the crane and the trumpeter is the
most extraordinary. The latter stands
on one leg, hops about in the most &C.
centric manner and throws somer-
saults. Some call it ''the mad Bird"
on account of it's singularities. Water
birds, such as ducks and geese, dive
after each other and clear the surface
of the water with outstretched neck
and Tapping wings, throwing abundant
spray around.
Deer often engage in a trial of
strength by twisting their horns to-
gether and pushing for the mastery.
All animals pretending violence in
their play stop short of exercising it |;
the dog takes the greatest precaution
not to injure by his bite, and the
orangutang, in wrestling with his
keeper, pretends to throw him, and
makes feints of biting him. Some ami
mails carry out in their play a SEM
biance of catching their prey; young
cats, for instance, leap after every
small and moving object, even to
leaves strewn by the autumn wind.
They crouch and steal forward, ready
for the spring; with the body culver
ing and tail vibrating with emotion,
they bound on the moving leaf and
again spring forward to another.

Bumper Crop of Babies in
United States During 1917
According to Statistics

Infant mortality statistics compiled
by the New York milk committee re-
veal the fact that there was a bumper
baby crop throughout the United
States in 1917. Basing its conclusions
on the figures cleaned from 1853 of the
largest cities in the country, the COM
mittee estimates that the number of
births throughout the nation totaled
2,67S,OOO and the number of deaths l.
648,0O0, leaving a national increase in
population of over 100000.
Among the cities of the honor class
Omaha claims first place with death
rate of only 59.2. and Seattle comes
second with rate of 59.4. Nashville,
Tenn, had the highest rate, 1922. Chi
cago's rate was 1864.
The five honor roll cities Boosting
death rates under so per 1000 are
Berkeley, CAL, with a population of
40,434, 43.4; Everett, Mass, with a
population of 83.4S4. 45.5; Brookline,
Mass, with a population of 37.792,
41.2; Alameda, Cal, with popula-
ton Of 23,383, 40.7; and La Crosse,
Wis, with population of 3O.417, 1922.

TRANSPORTATION.

The Canadian railway war board
October l granted wage increases to-
falling 1922 100000 annually to more
than $4,000 employees. The increases
are on the uniform basis of $25 a
month to each employee in the classes
affected, which include clerks, stenog-
raphers, office boys, messengers,
watchmen and section men. The
board also established an eight-hour
day for employees in all Canadian rail-
way freight sheds, effective October IS.
Effective September 16, Poison and
all intermediate stations on the Flat
head branch take main line rates on
freight. This action was brought
about because of the fact that Great
Northern gives Somers, on the north
ern shores of the lake, the same rate
as Kalispell and Columbia Falls on
their main line. The Northern Pacific
in order to compete for traffic orig
mating on the Flathead lake had to
give Poison the same rate as Somers
and of course in doing this, had to
make the rate applicable to all in
termediate points. AS a result of this
reduction, its immediate effect is felt
in the grain business. The freight
rate to the eastern terminals now be-
ing Ale per hundred against former
rate of 43c and the western terminal
31c against 33c. This makes diff
ference of 1c a bushel in wheat.

Men more patriarchal still have fig

robust veteran was Sir William Mich
olson of Glenbervy, grand old Scots
man who lived to nurse an infant
daughter after he had passed his nine

had daughter alive of his first mar
riage, aged sixty-six. He married his
last wife when he was eighty-two, and
had six children.
Sir Stephen Fox's last child was era.
died when the father was within a few
months Of completing his hundredth
year. Sir Stephen was born In 1927,
and had by his first wife a daughter
who died In infancy In 1855. The child
of his old age survived to the year
1928, and was thus able to say, II had
a sister who was buried 173 years
agow
When William Frest of Ripon was
hundred and eight. he was followed to
his grave by his eldest son, veteran
of eighty-eight. and by his youngest
boy, aged fifteen. who made his APP
pearance when his father was within

when his eldest brother was seventy

Thomas Beatty of Drumcondra
