They win See the Other Side.

All that the Germans need is a
few defeats, few turnings back
and the moment they begin to see
things from the other side 1t will
be different with them says the
Cedar Rapids Gazette. AS long as
they can blow and buster and bluff
and practice their kind of awful
ness they are devils incarnate, but
the moment things go against that
kind of people that moment they
are apt to become cringing towards.
The attitude toward the aviators
who have dropped bombs on them
is eloquent as to their real state OF
mind, which Is a state OF mind
without anything essentially heroic
in it's makeup. They have none OF
the courage that the French in
Paris and the English in London
have shown in the face of uncalled
for and unwaryike attacks made on
civil populations. When the allies
get through with a few counter at,
tacks there will be whole COM
munities in Germany that will go
collectively insane. They will be
scared to death and they will pray
to their tribal God whom they have
rescued from the days of Joshua
when the good God was pictured as
going about casting stones on the
enemies of the people who in that
day had the nerve of the modern
Prussians, to call themselves the
chosen people of the Lord. 1t Will
come to the Germans by and by
and then the world will see big
DULLES converted into cringing beg
CARS. And may the strong arm OF
the allies hasten the day for which
the world is waiting and praying.

May is, 1918.
Dear Ruth:
Have been wondering how you
are. Fine is my only wish for you
and all. Whit and l are still to-
gether and are feeling fine. Lilo
mel Jahnston is with us now to.
The second day out on ship we ran
across him. We sure were sur
prised to see each other too. Helps
a lot to see someone from home
that way I'll say. He is located
only about six rods from us here in
camp, so we see one another every
day. The ship we started ION had
to turn back, and that is how it
happened that we were crossing on
the same ship. l didn't get a bit
seasick, nor Whit and Lionel either,
but expected it anytime. Never
feared the danger at any time on
our way. The trip was smooth, eX-
cept the fourth morning out it was
a little rough, but didn't last long.
Two days were rainy, but the rest
were fine. We were well entertain
ed by the Y. NJ. C. A. men We
had different games to play and
piano; had movies, also books to
read. l read the most books at one
time l ever have. We had good
eats and plenty of it, and still had
an appetite for more after every
meal, Ha. We also had a band
along; they played nearly every day.
At meal time it was comical, the
boat would rock a little and where
the floor was a little slippery, the
line would be going along and all
at once you would see a mess kit
flying in the air and someone's feet
up. We sure felt good when we
saw land, but felt better when We
got onto it. The country here
looks nicer than l thought it would.
And suppose it looked better be-
fore the war started. Every piece
of ground Is made the best. tof use
of. The women here work harder
than the men do at home, | believe
Don't knowshow long it will be be-
fore we get any mail. Would feel
more contented if | had a few let
ters to read from home folks, now.
But feel quite satisfied to think
that there are three of us together.
Hoping this finds you and all
fine, as it leaves the three of us
alright.
Love to you from

Wheat Situation Most Serious i'm
Food Supply of the Allied
World
HABITS TELL US
TO USE BREAD
Giving Up Wheat is Little Thing
Compared to the Struggle Our
Soldiers are in Across
the Seas


The wheat situation is the most
serious in the food supply of the
Allied world. Corn cannot be slip
ped now. We have sent it as fast
as we could and we will again. But
during the next two months, the
season OF termination, it will not
do to ship corn-there is too much
spoilage in shipment. We must
ship wheat-and more wheat-and
more. To redeem our obligation
we must cut down by half our own
consumption Of wheat.
Going withut wheat is an incon-
venience - nothing worseA- for
homes in comfortable circumstances.
1t is no hardship, no danger.
Psychologists all agree that whole
some diet need not include wheat.
The South fought the Civil war on
corn. Early New England did with
out wheat five years at time with
no ill effects.
Habits tell us to use bread; the
body's needs tell us only to pro-
vide sufficient nourishment. We
must learn to think in terms of
nourishment and not let habit him
der us. Changing our habits is
none too easy. But it is no easy
task to win the war.
Giving up wheat is q little thing
compared : to their death struggle,
in which our soldiers are splendidly
sharing. Food Win Win the War!
Food today means first of all Wheat.
Follow this bread program until
new wheat crop comes into market.

THE QUERY BOX

What is the real cause of bulbs burn
ing out in my Ford. If the regular
lighting system is the cause, is there
anything that can be done TO stop It
and why don't they put in a different
system IL the one I have is known to
give that kind OF trouble?
L. R. BEECHAM.
Excessive voltage is the cause of the
burning out OF the bulbs. Vibration
and voltage fiuctuation are contribu-
tory causes. The only thing you can
do to help matters is to install a con-
troll, many OF which are on the mar
ket. These tend to keep the voltage
constant, and certainly do prevent ex-
cessive voltage from damaging and
burning the bulbs.
Can anything be done TO a storage
season? The best l can get out of one
is a years running. but if it will run
that long why can't l get more out

water and do all l am told to do. Does
a battery wear out entirely after a
year? j. NEWCOMB.
The maximum life of a storage bat
terry in a car is about eighteen months
and the average life about twelve
months. You can get eighteen months
service by giving the battery its re-
quired care and by seeing that it
never is left in an undercharged con-
dition for any length of time. that the
charging rate is correct and that the
battery is well mounted. You can
help considerably by giving the bat

BRAKE
INSPECTION URGED
Their Failure. with Glaring Lights,
Cause of Fatalities.

Prominent automobile, police and
insurance men throughout the
United States are backing a ma
tional movement for the inspection
OF automobile brakes. The agitation
for such a movement has grown out
OF the success in bringing about the
proper suppression of glaring head
lights, which, in the opinion of
those high in the automobile world,
is the lesser evil of the two.
The matter is receiving nation
wide attention and IL is not i'm
possible that legislation may be in
stituted before this session OF Con-
Gress closes. looking toward regular
inspection of brakes.
The object OF this movement is
to prevent the ever increasing num-
Der of fatalities, which are daily
occurances, especially in the larger
cities, due to imperfectly adjusted
and defective brakes. T. d. Pratt,
executive secretary of the Motor
Truck Club of America, says: Our
experience has shown us that so
per cent or more of the automobile
accidents are caused by brakes or
steering gears being in poor condi-
tion, and the large proportion of
this percentage is due to poor
brakes"
The plan OF the brake inspection
movement is to prevail on every
motorist and truck owner to have
his brakes inspected by his dealer
at the opening of the season and at
frequent intervals thereafter. Is is
called to his attention that the
brake-rods can usually be turned
up two or three times before new
brake lining Is needed. A simple
adjustment of the equalizers will
frequently make the brakes safe in
stead of dangerous.
