HoMING INSTINCT OF T0ADs

Useful Bearers of Messages,
Says Naturalist

Armies may yet use toads as mes
sage bearers in place Of carrier pi-
geons if this incident related in a let
ter to the editor of Every Week is
found to have general application:
Dallas Lore Sharp, the naturalist
and writer of nature books, told me
that hoptoads possess the homing in
stinct. Take one away from the spot
where it has always lived and he will
return. even though you have carried
him ten miles, said Mr. Sharp.
II resolved, then, to try an expert
ment with Teddy, the big toad who
has made his home in my garden in
Wakefield for the past five years.
Writing my name on a tag, tied it to
Teddy's hind leg and took a train to
Boston. Then I transferred to an ele-
waited train which carried me to
CharlestOwn, on the outskirts of the
city. At the corner Of Perkins and
Haverhill streets, Charlestown near
the B. and nj. signal tower where I
am employed on night duty, let Ted
dy out Of the box. He blinked at the
arc lights a second or so, darted out
his tongue and gObbled a few Charles
town mosquitoes, and began straight
way to hop along the side of the street
to Mystic avenue. When he reached
the corner he made bee line for
Wakefield, hopping off in the darkness
at a lively pace.
'It was just II :15 p. m. when I went
on duty at the tower and 800 when
reached home the next morning. I'm

NOW OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE
Port Whence sinbad Sailed on Voyage
of Trade and Adventure
Has Decayed.

In spite of the evidences of modern
industry, Basra was the port from
which Sinbad set out on his voyages
of trade and adventure. Sinbad was
not myth, but real man with q
sailors love for the sights of foreign
lands, Louis A. Springer writes in
Asia. 1t must have been great event
when he sailed away with his fleet of
dhOwS and when he returned with
treasures of far-Off China and the
Eastern islands. The BaSra Of today
is mean little town in clearing of
palm trees two miles from the river,
and at its port, instead Of the ladened
taWdry wares Of the West. Farther
up the valley, at Kurna, where the
Euphrates and Tieris join, is the ira
ditiOnal site of the Garden OF Eden;
beyond are the ruins Of Babylon and
on the bank of the T1gris is the ro-
al-RaShid, the great caliph, attracted
the wits and the wealth of Islam and
ruled in lavish spIendOr. Down the
Arabian coast are great ruins, still
almost uneXplored. LOvat Fraser,
close student of this region, believes
that some day it will be demonstrated
that here was the scene of momentous
events that determined the course Of
the human race while the shores Of
the Mediterranean were yet in ilhpene-
trable darkness and that here the first
dim glimmerings of civilization
dawned upon the mind Of primitive
man.

WOMEN TO WORK ON ROADS
Rail Administration to Fill Places Of
Men Taken by Army.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Thousands Of
women will be drawn into railroad en-
ployment within the next few months
to take the place Of men entering the
army and other industries, according
to plans Of the railroad administra-
ton. Women are to be employed as
clerks, accountants, ticket sellers, sta
ton agents, crossing watchmen. car
cleaners and to some extent in track
work.
The general policy will be to pay
women the same wages paid men.
This course will not result in dis
missal of men, since the demand for
workers exceeds the supply. In en-
ploying women American railroads will
be doing what English and French rail-
roads were compelled to do long ago.
Training schools for ticket agents
are being held in many cities.

material. Reports from aviators state
that the disorder on all roads leading
to the rear of the German front is
indescribable. Every crossroad con-
stitutes an admirable target for the
airmen.
AviatOrs, utter serving to replace
heavy artillery by bombing front areas
are now aiding the infantry and cav
airy. When these forces are stopped
at machine gun nests airmen, flying
low, drive the gunners from their
posts. Then the infantry or cavalry
rush in and capture the guns before
the enemy can resume fire. All
through the battle Of the Avre the
allies appear to have been masters of
the air over the battlefield. Few Ger
man machines have crossed the line
and of these not many have got back.
Foe Destroying Villages.
London, Aug. 1.-THE enemy is re-
ported destroying villages In his rear.
The ruins Of Peronne are reported to
be burning. Fires have been observed
by the allied airmen at various points.
Heavy local fighting Is reported at
Fismettes on the north bank Of the
VeSle, where the FrancO-American
forces are holding their lines. The
allies here were attacked by the on
emy and forced to retire to the south
bank Of the river. Immediate counter
attacks were launched and according
to the latest reports the old positions
of the allies on the north bank Of the
river have been restored.
