sadly:

Another feature of the "ncw free
DOM i'm Germany, which may surprise
The traveller, is that the private soldier
no longer salutcs his superior officers.
The soldier calls his officer "com

ever, but order is no longer maintained
by policemen, but by soldiers with
a{e'Aa bands as a badge of office. The
picturc is familiar to those who saw
Pctrograd during the Kerensky re-
iime. Another sight recalling Pctro-
grad, arc the military and royal auto
mobiles-the latter still sounding a
musical call, dcnoting the approach Of

streets with loads Of soldiers.

Few Perfect Pipes.

Pipe manufacturing is said to be the
most reckless Of speculation. The
manufacturer buys his blocks of briar
root sight an unseen as the chill

of the bag through the factory, giving
each piece exactly the same treatment
as all the rest, expanding an equal
amount of skill and care on each piece,
then looks to see what he drew. Speak
ing in averages, one expert finds that
out of each gross of finished pipes
there are two dozen that can be sold

CALIFORNIA; True Oasis.

Only at one place in the United
States is there real tropical vegeta-
ton, says Popular Science Monthly
Florida and California have what is
called 'subtropical" vegetation. In the
midst of desert in the extreme south
ern part of California is true oasis
The oasis, Palm Springs, lies $50 feet
below the sea level. SO hot is it there
that there is riot of vegetation all
the year around. Enormous fig trees
and mammoth grape fruit and oranges
are always to be had. The lemons that
grow there weigh two and a half
pounds apiece. The responsibility for
all this may be laid OF a beautiful lit
tie stream which is fed by the Colura-
do river and which flows through the
oasis only to disappear into the ground
at its end.

Millions Of dollars worth of agricul-
turul wealth-much of it foods de-
stroyed by fire in the United States
every year. At normal prices and
with an average crop it would take the
value of the greater part of the potato
crop of the country to offset all thar
is lost annually through the fires on
farms.
This is a dead loss to the nation
for the fact that most individual losers
are partially reimbursed through in
Surance does not in the least reduce
the drain on our national resources
and it is a loss that is largely pre-
vCntable. Simple ways to reduce this
great waste are suggested in Farmers
Bulletin 9Of. Fire Prevention and
Fire Fighting on the Farm" issued
for free distribution by the United
State department Of agriculture.
The fire bucket. according to the
writer's of the bulletin, is the oldest,
simplest and cheapest fire extinguish-
er, and should be in every farm build
ing and home not equipped with more
elaborate fire-fighting equipment.
Round Bottom Buckets Best.
/ Any kind of bucket filled with water
md placed handily is good, but spc-
rial fire buckets with rounded bottoms
like Il kettle are best. There IS no
temptation to use such buckets FOR
ordinary purposes and they are much
more likely to be left hung on the
brackets or in the round holes cut fol
them in shelves. Any kind Of fire
buckets should be specially painted OF
labeled and never used for any pur
pose other than fire fighting. The!
should be placed near entrances ant
near the top of stairways or ladders
where they can easily be reached OF
entering the building or loft. Severa
buckets nested in a barrel of waite
are an effective device.
Needless to say, the fire bucket
should always be kept filled by replaC
ing the water lost by evaporation.
If the buckets are covered, waite
