LICE AND LIQUOR
Breezy Letter From Army Sur
geOn at the Front.

writes to a Prescott friend the
following, breezy account of the
great allied drive in France:
my command was elected to
initiate the great offensive, SC
you may snow know it is nearly
completed. 1t certainly was
some fight, but / cannot go into
details. l was brigade surgeon
and followed the boys over the
top for % hours, when we were
relieved. l had charge of about
300 Boche prisoners( and be-
lieve me, Bert, l took it out OF
them as litter bearers.
st was wonderful sight to
see the big and little tanks &c
into action, and besides it was
thrilling to see the French cav
airy moving up. This is a fine
branch of the service and let
me tell you those fellows are
some fighters.
Anyone who says he is not
scared when the furious stee!
storm breaks is a id liar
OF else needs medical advice as
to his sanity. You bet | was
scared, but / tried not to show
it. Crawled from shell hole to
shell hole to dress the wounded
boys and was mighty glad OF
that protection. Even a steel
helmet feels mighty good to
have on your head.
''We have Heine on the run
and intend to keep him moving.
/ am not ready yet to die, but a
few more of them and I will feel
as if ! have done my bit
at is funny how one expects
to see aeroplanes fall, not
thinking that they contain liv-
ing things, and how we are fill
ed with joy when Boche is
caught in the smashup and is
breathing his last. But that is
war and we cast ourselves in
the spirit of the thing, and that
is kill, or get killed.
"How about lice? Yes, ] have
'em and plenty of 'em. You
get so you like them. Have got
rid of most of the old ones, but
they had little ones, and the
children are offenders now.
Some of the big ones are gray
in color, and strong enough to
pull a gas mask.

YOU, France and her large cities
are beautiful, but the country
towns are frightful. They judge
the influence of a wealthy far
mer by the height of his ma
nure pile. Every time we
reach a new town / have to issue
orders to clean up these dumps
and screen out the flies. And
the brigade surgeon sees that
the order is enforced is it does
come from me.

AVOID WASTE OF GASOLINE
Do Not Run Engine While Standing StH Unless Necessary-Make
 Use of Lean Mixture.

There are many ways to avoid gaso- line waste. One is not to allow the engine to run idle, except when abso- lutely necessary. Another is to run your car on as lean mixture as pos sible. The car may not accelerate as | rapidly, and may cough q little when it is cold; but if you will be patient with 1t you will get much higher mile age, Every car has an economical speed, usually between 12 and IS miles per hour. Try to drive at those speeds. Accelerate gradually, as this requires less gasoline than trying to reach top speed quickly. Anticipate your stops, close the throttle before you reach the stopping place, and coast to a stand still.
 Keep your car running at top eff cieney. This means keeping the motor free from carbon, as a carbonized mo- tor consumes an excessive amount of fuel. Use good grade of oil in the motor, and keep all moving parts well fabricated to reduce friction losses. Run the car on high as much as pos sible, as this is the economical speed Keep the tires well inflated, as soft tires waste power. See that the brakes do not bind and cause friction when the car is running. Finally, use kerosene instead of gasoline for clean- ng.-Milestones.

GOOD ADVICE ON
 AVOIDING FIRES
Professor Pratt Gives Hints to Owners and Drivers on
 Safety First.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRES
Principal Cause and One Which Oc- CUTS Most Frequently Is Back firing-Gasoline in Drip Pan
 Another Source of Trouble.

Automobile fires, their causes and their prevention, is the general theme taken up by Prof. Clyde II. Pratt, president of the Cleveland Automobile school.
 'Despite the many general cam paigns of education Of automobile owners and ehauffeurs in precautions against fire, enough cases continue to occur to warrant a word of caution and an additional word of prevention" says Professor Pratt.
 "While automobile fires do not all ways originate from causes considered to be within the control of the driver, the great majority are entirely unnec essary as well as preyentable. The principal cause, of course, and the one which occurs most frequently, is back firing. Although it is unnecessary to enumerate all the causes that lead up to backfring. 1t is well to point out that the chief one is a mixture that is too lean when fed to the cylinders. Backfiring will almost invariably fol- low when this condition is present.
 
 of flame bursts from the air intake of the carburetor, and if there is any thing infammable in that vicinity it is very apt to catch fire.
 Sure to Make Trouble.
 Bearing always in mind that gaso- line vaporizes very quickly, it is easy to understand that if there is gasoline in the drip pan there is almost sure to be a sufficient mixture about the carburetor to make trouble for the driver. The drip pan under the car buretor should be so arranged that the gasoline is drained off before it has time to vaporiZe.
 "Under ordinary circumstances there should not be much gasoline there at any time. If it comes from a leak in the supply pipe or the car buretor connection it should be re- paired at once if it Is from carburetor overflow, due to poor seating of the float valve, the carbureter should be cleaned.
 "Under some conditions too fast running may be cause for fire in the automobile. Great speed usually heats the exhaust pipe almost to a glow. If the pipe is close to woodwork, particu- larly where there is an accumulation of grease or dirt, there may be fire. Keep the woodwork free from oil and grease at all times and thus pre- vent possible blaze from this par tieular cause.
 Oil and Grease Wasted.
 "The exhaust pipe also heats when the engine Is run with a greatly re- tarded spark. Here again oil would increase the menace. The economical operator will not allow oil or grease to be wasted in this way.
 Occasionally when the car is stand ing In the garage the supply line will leak a trifle If under this condition the car is left standing in a closed garage all night, the vaporized ac- emulation on the floor would ignite from an open cutout when the engine is started.
 Sometimes the tank overflows when 1t is filled by an operator who is in a great hurry. Then in the further hurry to make a quick start the mufiler eutout is opened and the driver finds that he is not due to leave the garage for some time to come, if ever, in that particular machine.

FIRE FAILS TO STOP AMERICAN SOLDIERS
MEN FROM MIDDLE WEST AND EASTERN STATES FROM APEX
 OF LONG ALLIED FRONT.
HAND TO HAND FIGHTING
Americans Proved the Master, DriV. ing Enemy Before Them-Huns Holding Positions in the NesIes
 Forest-sheIling Effectively.

With the American Army on the Aisne-Marne Front. - Through g 1 barrage as deadly as any the Ger mans have laid down on any sector l for months, the American soldiers comprising men from the Middle West and Eastern states, pushed their line forward a little more and front.
 Their progress was considerable l though less than two miles, but it is regarded as a brilliant operation, in view of the determined countering by the Germans.
 On either side the French also moved forward while steady pressure was maintained against the east and west Hanks.
 The Americans withstood two heavy attacks during the night, and at daylight began their operations, which left them well to the north of Sergy on the long slopes approaching the heavy woods beyond Nesles, a little town directly east of Serignes- et-Nesles. whose retention the Ger mans bitterly opposed.
 The east end of the line swings northeasterly opposite this point and then drops off sharply in the direction of Cierges and Roneheres. The Ourcq river has been left far behind the line being pushed forward across the zone to the northwest.
 The Germans are holding positions in Nesles forest, from which their guns are smelling effectively. 1t was late in the day before Seringes was wholly cleared. The Germans elung to the northern part of the town tenaciously and used their ma chine guns murderously.
 Neither side used artillery in this particular battle. There was hand to-hand fighting in the streets, in which the Americans proved the mas ters driving the enemy before them. The story of the fight for the pos session of Meurcy farm, lying direct ly south of Serignes. will long be re- membered in the history of the divi- sion. The Germans on their with drawal left behind strong force of machine gunners and infantry. The Americans moved forward through the yellow wheat fields, which were sprayed and torn by bullets. But they advanced as though on drill ground.
 The American guns laid down heavy artillery fire, hut, notwith- standing this, many of the Germans remained when it came 10 hand-to- hand fighting. In a group of farm buildings the enemy had set up strong defense. Here the Germans stuck to their guns and the Ameri- cans rushed them and killed the gun ners at their post.

Bees Kill Elderly Man.

Fen minutes after he had been stung on both wrists by bees, Clark l.. Hume, sixty-six years ol& resident of Santa Ana Cal, died.
 The bees stings acted as violent poison, physicians stated, probably be- cause of Hume's unusual physical con- dition. Hume was stung by the bees when he attempted to destroy hive close to his home.
 Physicians, when told of the peculiar case. stated that there was a prob ability that the poison injected by the bees struck an artery and was immedi- ately conveyed to the heart, causing the death. It was also said that the bees stings may have acted as q vio- lent poison because of an unusual physical condition.
 The physicians said that so sudden a death from bees stings was very un- usual.

CAREFULLY INSPECT NEW CAR
Not Safe to Assume That All Parts Have Been Properly fabricated
 Before Shipping.

It is not safe to assume that all parts of the car that has just heen delivered to the new owner have been properly fabricated. It sometimes happens that grease cups have been left thrilled when the car was shipped and that wheel bearings, universals. steering gears, etc, have been over looked. It Is always well to go care fully over the lubricating system of the new car and see that 1t has its due allotment of lubricant.
