Paris for day or two on my re-

July to parade before President
Poincaire, Ambassador Sharpe and
allied generals, in celebration of the
French Independence day and to
dedicate Point (Bridge) Wilson,
erected by the city of Lyon in honor
of President Wilson. The next sew
en- days were spent in putting the
finishing touches on the troops we
were to take, and by the 18th we
had them in real parade form. /

oyster Beds for Great .saIt axe.

Plans have been made to begin the
propagation of oysters in Bear River
bay, Salt Lake Utah, this spring, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine IN an
illustrated article. Experiments and
scientific study of local conditions have
indicated, to the satisfaction of the
state fish and game commissioner, that
the enterprise is thoroughly feasible
one. Analysis has shown that the per-
centage of salt in the water is prac-
tically the same as in ocean oyster
beds. In searching for desirable Sec
ton of the bay to commence opera
lions, those in charge of the work used
an amphibious craft built particularly
for navigating shallow waters and ne
gotiating salt and mud bars. The boat,
a long, narrow motOr-driven scOw, is
provided with side wheels that propel
1t through the water and across mud.

Attention has been officially called
to the signal bravery of Robert Aus
burne, a navy radio electrician of the
first class, who went down when the
United States army transport ANTILLES
was sunk. When the ship was struck
Ausburne and fellow electrician nam
ed MacMahon were asleep in the ra-
do room. Ausburne, realizing the Sc
robustness of the situation. told his fell
low worker to get on his life preser-
yer. AS he left to take his emergency
station at the radio key he shouted to
his companion, Goodbye, Mac" This
was the last seen of him. Going to the
radio room MacMahon found it locked,
and realizing that the ship was fast
sinking attempted to get Ausburne
out, but without success.
