Pretty soon the cook poked his head in the door and shouted: "Hey, Tank, come out here and clean your dixie '" 1 protested that had wasted a half hour on it already, and had used up m. only remaining shirt in the at teropt. With look of disdain he ex- claimed: "Blow me, your shirt Why in - didn't you use mud?"
 Without a word in reply I got busy with the mud. and soon my dixie was bright and shining.
 Most of the afternoon was spent by the men writing letters home 1 used my spare time to chop wood for the cook and go with the quartermaster to draw coal. l got back just in time to Issue our third meal which consisted of hot tea. I rinsed out my dixie and returned it to the cookhouse, and went back to the billet with an exhilarated feeling that my days labor was done I had fallen asleep on the straw when once again the cook appeared in the door of the billet with "Blime me. you Tanks are lazy. Who in - a-goin' to draw the water for the mornin' tea? Do you think Pm agoin' to? Well, Pm not" ana he left. I filled the dixie with water from an old squeaking well, and once again lay down In the straw.

are forced to turn out of the main roadway. During the last year about six miles of such pavement were put down in the county.
 Mir McClintock holds that this type of construction is desirable where substantial base Is already in place, as in the case of m old gravel or ma cadan road which is not worn out, or a base can be constructed at low cost. The vitrified blocks are often laid by unskilled labor, properly supervised, with entirely satisfactory results.
 Another type of small-block pave ment was recently laid on the Norris town turnpike in New Jersey. which carries heavy traffic. There is q see ton of this road about 1,200 feet long having | per cent grade, where il was decided to try small granite blocks in the hope that their numerous joints would reduce the tendency to slip and skid on this rather steep slope. The blocks are 3 to finch astbes and were laid on a thin foundation. They were not laid In rows but in curved lines, forming a mosaic pat tern, and the joints were filled wlih fine stone and a grout of cement and sand.

 That night, in the light of lonely candle in the machine gunner's dugout of the front-line trench I wrote two letters. One to Pete's mother, the other to his sweetheart. While doing this I cursed the Prussian war god with all my heart, and think that St. Peter noted same. The machine gunners In the dugout were laughing and joking. To them Pete was unknown.

SMALL PAVING BLOCKS USED
They Are Proving Popular In Rural Regions In Europe-First lafd
 in New York State.

For a number of years country roads. in parts of Germany, Austria and oth-
 CT European countries have been paved
 with small cubes Of stone but it is not
 so generally known that smaIl-block pavements have been laid in the Unit
 ed States. They are believed to have been introduced first by J. Y. McClin- tock, county superintendent of Monroe county, N. Y. After an experience of ten years or so, he recommends the use of blocks of vitrified clay, meas uring 2A inches on each side. These are laid on base of gravel. macadam, or broken slag. which is usu- ally made wider than the pavement in order to support the gravel or brok- en stone laid beside the cubes to form hard shoulders to carry vehicles that

Some. times we are lucky and get ."Gold. makes, Players or Red Hussars' Occasionally an issue of Life Raysa comes along. Then the older Tommies immediately get busy on the recruits and trade these for "Woodbines" ot 'Goldflakes." A recruit only has te be stuck once in this manner. and ther ne ceases to be recruit. There is g ! reason. Tommy is a great cigarette smoker He smokes under all condi elohs, except when unconscious oI when he is reeonnoitering in No Mans Lana at night. Then, for obvious req sons he does not care to have a light ed cigarette in his mouth.
 Stretcher bearers carry flags for wounded Tommies. When a stretcher bearer arrives alongside of a Tommy who has been hit the following eonver- sation usually takes place. Stretcher bearer-"Want flag? Where are you hit?' Tommy looks up and answers, "Yes. In the leg"
 After dismissal from parade, we re- turned to our billets and l had to get busy Immediately with the dinner is- sue. Dinner consisted of stew. made from fresh beef, a couple of spuds, bully beef, Maeonoehie rations and wa ter>plenty of water. There is great competition among the men to spear with their forks the two lonely pota- toes.
 After dinner I tried to wash out the dixie with cold water and rag, and learned another maxim of the trenches-"It can't be done." 1 slyly watched one of the older men from another section, and was mortified to see him throw. into his dixie four or five double handfuls of mud. Then he poured in some water. and with his hands secured the dixie inside and out. I thought he was taking an awful risk. Supposing the cook should have seen him! After half an hour of unsuc- cessful efforts I returned my dixie to the cover, and returned to the billet.
