/ AMERICANS IN BATTLE

American blood was first spilled in the trenches Of
France the night of the German raid November 3rd
The particulars of that memorable occasion gained at
first hand as nearly as possible and which take to be
authentic furnished by George Pattuo in the
rent number Of the Saturday Evening Post 1t is inter-
esting reading.
At the time attacked the Americans had been in the
trenches but five hours They had entered the sector
after darkness and had been through it by day
light They had eleven hundred yards of trenches to hold
and one hundred and eighty men to hold them with
They attacked by a massed body of two hundred
and ten veteran fighters. The raiders had made eabOr
ate plans for the attack Eight thousand shells
dropped and around the point attacked The result
of the raid three Americans killed. four wounded and
twelve taken prisoners At the beginning of the attack
the Americans sgnaed for artillery support but did not
receive it.
similarly planned and executed raid on the British
earlier in the war resulted in the capture Of twenty
unwounded and five wounded prisoners. The raidng
party in this instance consisted of sxyeght men, and
six thousand shells dropped the point attacked
comparison Of the two instances is not without
significance The Americans attacked by body
three times large the British; they were
young inexperienced in trench fighting; had never seen
their positions in daylight and it their first time
der fire; twelve taken prisoners there
render in open ghting three killed The prisoners
captured trapped in dugout fifteen feet under
ground The raiders left one dead and carried other
dead or wounded back to their own lines.
Two notable features of the raid to be observed.
One is that of the American boys killed was found
with his throat cut from to earan instance of Prus
sian fiendshness The other is that although eight
thousand shells fired the sector American was
killed by artillery fire.

THE SNIFFERS

The SNIEFERS
The boarders had handed in theil
ultimatum. They gave Mrs. Hammer
Yeggs until Sunday to break the long
monotony of lamb and beef hash din

variation in the dreary lamb and hash
procession, the boarders weuld leave

On Sunday morning all the board
ers awoke with the most exquisite per
fume in their nostrils. 1t was the del
ieate aroma of roast turkey stuffed
with onions.

key dinner! We win the strikel'

all the rest of the boarders shifted
deiightedly and prepared at last to
have a real dinner. The dinner bell
rang. The boarders. still shifting,
tropped into the dining room as one
bOard-and Mrs Yeggs rushed in from
the kitchen, picture surprise, hOr-
ror, wrath and CONSERVATION.
"Oh, my dear boardersl y she cried.
"The turkey has been stole right out
of the oven.
And in truth, the understandable per
fume was slowly disappearing. And
the boarders ate a Sunday dinner of
soup and vegetables.
Later in the day the proprietor of

collect his dollar fee for leaving a

me, but l pretended not to notice, and
he said nothing. Elsie fairly beamed
on me, and 1 felt satisfied that l had
at least pleased her.
"You re a brick, Margaret" and
someway her slangy approval brought
great consolation to me.
We played bridge, and Tom spoke of
the party several times. Elsie had pro-
missed to keep him in ignorance of all

not strange that my decision to attend
the party puzzled him. And several
times he rallied me upon my change of

Once more l caught Bob looking at

press pleasure because l had consented
to accept Henry Creedmore IS invita-

Hats for Early Spring-Or Now.

We used to wait for the arrival of
spring or for signs that it was within
hailing distance before we clothed our
heads In hats hat take no thought of
winter, even in below-zero weather.
But a new order of things has come to
pass and now we indulge ourselves in
mats that herald the spring and go out
to meet 1t while IL is yet afar off-in
Northern climates. They are not spring
hats and they are not winter hats.
They are cheerful hats with a thought
of summer in them. but substantial
enough to brave the SHOWS of late win

Here are three of these smart hats
that are minded to turn their allegi-
ance from winter to spring and pin
their faith to its coming soon. They
have satin crowns and brims of a
braid which Is variously called "che-
Mile" caterpillar" and carpet" braid.
Caterpillar fits 1t best. 1t Is u fuzzy,
substantial looking and soft braid that
looks wonderfully well with satin. 1t
is shown in all the lovely and soft
spring colors. These hats are usually
faced with crepe g%eorgette, and their

USING GASOLINE IN WINTER
Average Car Shows Tendency to Con.
sumo More During Cold Weather
Than In Summer Months.

It is the common experience of mo-
florists that the average car shows n
marked tendency to use more gasoline
in winter weather than during the
warm months. A cold engine prevents
the proper Importation of the fuel and
necessitates a very rich mixture. Cost
of operation is thus excessive during
the starting and warming-up processes.
The problem is to shorten or eliminate
this period of costly operation by heat
ing up the engine fast, as an engine
will work as well, winter or summer,
after 1t is heated up to the even-run-

NEW DEVICE FOR HEADLIGHT
motorlst With Can Of Paint Should
Be Able to Fix Lights to Suit
Laws Of Any State.

The Illinois law requiring the dim.
ming of headlights on approaching an.
other vehicle does little more than
make a formality of what has long
beer n custom. More drastic lows
In other states, however, bid fair to
get the Chicago motorist into trouble
If he tours far afield without due pren.

Many headlight devices have been
approved for use in these states, but
the simplest suggestion for comply.
ing with the most of the varying regu.
lations seems to be that suggested by
Macy f. Deming, who framed the
law now in effect in New York.
MIR. Deming says five minutes spent
In painting your light bulbs will give
a motorist an effective nonglare de-
vice in any state. For New York he
describes the method as follows:
Paint the right side of the light
bulbs green and at the tip of each
bulb make a circle of green paint one.
half the diameter of the bulb. The
paint should cover the right of the
bulbs, looking with the car, for an arc
of $50 degrees"
Painting the right side of the bulbs
IS prescribed because the New York
law limits the amount of light that
many be directed to the left of the car.
The reason for this is the fact (Which
some motorists know and many don't)
That the light rays which come from
