Dearest Sister
Will write you q few lines.
This leaves me in the best of health
and enjoying myself. The fog and
the rain this morning are gradually
blotting the United States birds
from my view. The planes are out
early and late and sometimes one is
disturbed during the silent hours of
the night. There's no out-cry, moth
ing but the musical hum made by a
glistening propeller, driven by a
powerful motor running in perfect
order. The buzz of her silken wings
grows fainter, and then silence
reigns, broken only by the Post
guard, hauling some happy soldier
boy who is getting in from fur
Tough to town, and is getting In
rather late.
This is a beautiful field. There
are few camps that out-class this one,
if any, We have the Sammies and
the machines, and plenty of room,
and, well the Sammies will do the
rest that is required to make nice
camp. We have several big Y. M.
c. A. which the soldier boys could
hardly do without With moving
picture shows, church, opera houses
the boys can always find some place
to 60 if they are not wanted on duty.
The problem that bothers US the
most is that there is lot of us re-
quired to do our bit here in America
and we all want to go ouer the lake,
They leave with Good bye Amer.
lea hello France" We are 10, 600
strong and we will slip a pill to
Kaiser Bill and he will shed tear.
The boys are all apparently happy.
Well sister, must say good bye
and 60 to dinner.

 A pig should never be fed fat roast beef. It is likely to get what farmers call "thumps," and the presence of specialist may be required. Coffee is not for pigs either. It makes them nerv- ous. Few things will disturb house. hold more than a nerve wracked pig pacing his room in the wee sna' hours.
 Pigs are sensitive. Efforts to make them dance to photograph music, to wear tortoise trimmed glasses or to jump over muffin stands have usually ended in failure.

WORLD ALMANAC. 1918

It is possible to count in the World Almanac for 1918 more than 30 titles re- ferring directly to matters of the great war. And even then the pages of infor- nation on war affairs will not all have been accounted for Everything is there, costs and occasions and the growth of the army and navy and the loans to for e.gn governments and the war chronology and the new taxes and the acts of Con- gress. Moreover, the messages of the President are there. One notes that the pressure of battle topics has given to the new almanac the special title War Information Edition" It Is easy for tho most casual examiner to discover, how ever. that this suggestion of specializa- tior does not imply neglect of any of those departments of referential con- venience' on which the Worlds annual has built its fame and value. Everything IS in the volume, as usual, telling sta- tistically and otherwise the latest facts Of progress and condition in politics, business, education, religion, industry, prohibition, woman suffrage, the uplift- all the affairs of human activity.

v II 'zs Too Many Grimes in Birmingham

IWHA1 has come over the spirit
 w of Birmingham? Murders, shooting affairs and suicides are be- ling recorded with such frequency in Ithe newspapers that one is reminded |of other days when this city was re- ferred to as Bad Birmingham, and the blame was placed on John Barley Icorn.
 Liquor has caused some of the re-
 cent tragedies investigated by the police department of Birmingham, but the footpad and the gunman are not always hard drinkers. In fact, they are more apt to be sober than their victims.
 Evidently some other reason must be found to account for the deeds of violence which have occurred in Bir- |mingham during the past few weeks. It is theory of the experts that crime breeds crime and one murder frequently leads to another, just as one unfortunate person who commits suicide frequently sets an example followed by others who are prompted by the act to make an end of things.
 Crime has greatly increased in
 Europe as result of the war, but aside from the activity of German |plotters, the war has had no such ef- feet in America, particularly in the Isouth.

VENICE IN WAR TIME

With very little increase over the ole tariff; but the gondoliers are no more the young, romantic, dark eyed Italians, wearing sashes, whose prototypes we see at every fancy dress ball. They are old fellows; they look like city cabmen, yielding oars instead of whips. As you glide down the side canals, where you sit level with the basement windows, you see here and there regular piles of sandbags crowded tight up against the window bars. These are private shelters no home, really. is complete without one now.
 Even our hotel has its own shelter for guests. The hotels of Venice are not serving meals; but one eats very well, nevertheless, at either of two large cafes. On Friday night, when we expected an air raid, a Venetian friend warned me that. if was dining late, I might do we'll to ask the head waiter where their shelter was. T believe they reserve space for their customers, he said.

Gladstone's two sons may be able to hold on to it, with few adjoining acres, but the glory of the estate has departed and it will not be surprising if some American snob acquires it ere many years, and affect lordly habits of life, for while William E. Gladstone declined peerage and was popularly known IS Britain's great commoner, his manners were courtly and his style of living much like that of his titled predecessors in the ownership of Hawarden.
