BIKE COMING BACK
into PUBLIC FAVOR
New and Younger Genera
tion Is Reviving Interest
in the Bicycle.

One Of the most remarkable come
backs" of recent years is being made
at the present moment by the bicycle.
1t doesn't take any one possessing
remarkable powers Of observation to
detect this fact. 1t is evident right
here in Washington. Bicycles are dis
putting the right of way in these days
of congested traffic with the auto
mobile and the motor cycle. Thus far
the bicycle rider proves the best in
sured Of all. for very few owners
have been carted away to, the hospital.
When the bicycle craze suddenly and
quietly subsided over a decade ago
there was very little comment. be-
cause the auto was then looming into
prominence as more stylish and
easier means of. locomotion. The tan
dem and the boomers were relegated
to obscurity and only the queer" and
''old-fa.hioned" kept on riding the BIZ
cycle. However, few held on sturdily
to the handle bars and have lived long
enough to see new and younger
look at the newspapers and
motor cycle trade papers revive mem
ories of the long ago. In British
Columbia recently the billboards
were used to announce Bicycle
week." and hundreds of wheels were
sold as a result. A few days ago ten
bicycles were bought for a special
patrol of Newark. N. j., policemen.
Society Women Return to Wheel.
Six Minneapolis society women
got their names in the papers a week
ago when all bought bicycles. Fiji
teen years ago they were devotees
Of the bicycle and determined to re-
turn to this healthful method of exer-
else.
Bicycle dealers in the city are
prepared to meet the demand and
bright new wheels prove an attrac-
tive part of the stock found in the
motor cycle shops. The prices are
reasonable and construction has not
been weakened on account of the war.
In fact, the bicycle of today is a bet
ter made machine than it was a
decade ago at double the price.
The dealers can give a logical rea-
son for the revival of the interest.
They give the auto credit to a large
extent. Auto owners have demanded
better streets and highways and rid
Ing a bicycle for either a short or
long distance Is much easier task
now than it was in the old days.
Again, the development of the coaster
brake has been an aid in populariz-
ing the wheel.

BY FRAZIER HUNT.
CHAPTER 64.

One Of old U. Sans Bobbie Ford
trucks drove up to our village today, and
you should have heard the shouting when
we found she was loaded to the guard
with mail for our battilun. We been
in France three or four weeks now and
this was the first sign of the male wagon
that we had seen and joy was unre-
strained.
A fellow back home in the states. no
matter where, don't have any conception
of what letters mean until he's been over
here in France. three or four thousand
miles away. fighting cooties and getting
ready to fight the Dutchmen. College
boys back homo are always talking
about getting money from HONEYWELL. If
getting letters with dough In it when
they was Freshmen Is anything like just
receiving skinny old letter over here
then don't blame them for always talk
ing about it.
Pay day, too, used to mean lot to me
when was a sivilian and used to knock
down my old eighteen per at the type
writer ribbon factory in the big burg,
and then when I volunteered for this
draft Army and used to draw my thirty

think that that hit the high-water mark

amateur days Of Joy compared to the
real days over here when the mail from
home comes in.
There was a poet once who lived in
Indiana and think his name was Riley
and he should have wrote one Of his
pieces about our soldier boys getting mail
in France. Only I guess he would have
wrote about the poor boy who didn't
get single letter, and the way this poet
would have told about that would GER
tainly have made people back home who
don't write to soldiers in France awful
ashamed Of themselves.
There was one of the boys in my own
squad who didn't get any mail at all this
morning. and 1t certainly did make
everybody else sad to see how he locked
when the first sergeant said there wasn't
nothing for him. His name is Steve and
guess he don't have any folks or girls
or anything back in the States.

Better Education in England.
rom the New Republic.

England is beginning to recognize
the Importance of Intellectual train
ing for a growing democracy. A new
law will abolish all exemptions from
school attendance until the compile
tion of the fourteenth year. with
power granted to local authorities to
raise the age to fifteen. Pupils will
only be permitted to enter or leave
at stated periods in the year. A
rigorous system of school attendance
will be accompanied by strict linita-
tions on the labor of children during
their attendance in the elementary
school, The elementary school curric-
ulum of the future will be less book
ish and more practical than hitherto
and will be better articulated with the
higher schools. For those pupils who
cannot pass on to a secondary school,
more advanced courses will be pro-
vided in the last two years Of the
elementary school period.
