BAWLs HER OUT WlTHcoIN
BY HERBERT COREY.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, August 18.-Supply train
lot had placed its kitchen in the
main square of Chateau Thierry.. Up
the road little way is the single arch
remaining Of the fine old stone bridge
on which the American machine gun
ners stopped the German rush in early
June. All around was dusty, mushed
masonry and blazing heat Henry
Gonzales, cook, speaking.
Il can't give you nothing, maddunp-
It's against orders. Yes'm, know
you're hungry. but what can a bird
do?'
A little, withered, tired French wom-
an was asking him for bread. "Just
bread. m'sieu." She was the first Of
the refugees to return.
Free With His Language.
Its hell, amt it. maddum"' said
Gonzales. safe in his knowledge that
she could not understand English.
Don't sit down there" He pushed
canned-corn box toward her and
patted her dusty shoulder. The old
woman sat down. He stacked a mess
tin OF corned beef hash and fried po-
tatoes and baked beans and placed it
before her.
That's for the captain" he said.
Don't you lay a sip on it," He filled
and set it down on the board table.
I'D give you some of that II dares't"
said Henry Gonzales. "But you see
how it is, maddum."
The old woman eat happily and
shifted and let the tears run into the

Whenever he looked toward her she
smiled. so that he hurriedly looked
away again. When she had finished
he hurried after her, across the dusty
square, white hot under the sun. I
saw him put some money in her hand.
Il was just bawling her out" said
Henry Gonzales, American. II told her
to keep out of here. I can't be both

Sixty Hours Awake.
Supply Train No. 107 had just fin
ished sixty-hour run across coun-
try.
Some running. hey? Some running
to keep 100 big chain drive cars on
the road for sixty hours without a
smash. Especially when two nights
of that running was on muddy roads,
through nights blacker than john
sons cat, and through an army. The
supply train ran through an artillery
brigade and infantry regiments and
a tank convoy and Jinkins knows
what, as Capt. Wesley says.

either" said he. That's some rum
ming. Hey?"
Here is the best Of 1t. That sixty
hours running was done without
sleep. The drivers sat at the wheels
of those big trucks day and night
and nursed them through the jam. If
the procession stopped-and such
professions to stop for thousand
aasons varying from a belligerent
army to a heart-sore mule-they

Germany's activities in Finland and
the Aland Islands are causing fears
among the northern European neu-
trails that middle sea Of the north
is contemplated by the autocratic CEN
trail powers as an adjunct to their
aggressive plans for an economic and
military alliance against the world
under the name of 'Mittel-Europa."

antics Of the clumsy animals as
they secured tin cans and rooted for
scraps. Some Of them raised
ponderous head TO look US over. and
went right on with their repast.
One big mother bear was pushing
and showing around with her cubs.
until finally one Of the cubs stuck
his nose in a can and could not get
it out. Trixie laughed as heartily
as the rest of us at the cubs sJrug-
giles with can. Finally, in a spirit
OF mischief she picked up a stick
and threw il toward the cub. In
stantly the mother gave low
growl and came toward sydney.
The intrpid hunter never gave
second glance toward the offended
bear. He sprinted for the nearest
tree that offered shelter and
scrambled up as fast as an ineXperi-
enced tree climber could. scratching
his hands and tagging holes in his
clothes as he tore upward. The
guide called TO him that there was
no danger but Sydney Skinned right
on up that tree. He saw the moth
er bear, after a few steps of in
dignant protest. resume her feeding.
and the momentary qualm that
some of us felt gave way TO merri-
ment over our self-styled hero's
plight I think it was the ring Of
our laughter more than the assur-
ances of our guide that brought
Sydney down from his perch, aid
then, calling out some excuses about
having heard there was an ugly bear
among the herd and that his clothes
were not presentable. he hurried
back 10 the hotel.
/ wish you could have seen Trix-
les face! 1t was a study of dis
appointment and disgust. Her hero
had fallen very far indeed, and she
felt very foolish. A kindly man in
the party went over TO her. Its
wiser not to throw sticks at cubs.

bears are all tame. some time a
stranger might come to the feeding

II you are like most housewives.
there are a lot of things that you

because you always have kept them
there and have grown accustomed

1t has got to be a family habit. Still
il may be most inconvenient 1t
would take but little effort for you

find them-a place based on the

that because of the Importance of
having a secure place for them it
