what, for any man pausing at his
mothers tears and frantic pleas that
he do not leave her That his friends
and the girl he loves misconstrue
this hesitancy is an unfortunate cir
cumstance which prevails everywhere
But neither the mother nor her son
prove towards in the end. She even
tually sees her duty to her country
and commits her noble sacrifice. and
the son, Fastening to the front, per-
forms an heroic feat which even
those who had dubbed him slack

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE (by

the American, or. perhaps. more
properly speaking, the English word
for home" The French language
has no word for home at least
not in the same sense as used by the
English speaking world And since

The French have been accused in
the past Of having less home life
than other nationalities, the general
idea of the rest of the world seem
ing to be that the French spent all
the time they were not working in
Inedlef or around the SlueWdlN
tables of the wineshOps All of
which is a gross libel on the French
family life. as thousands of Ameri-
can soldiers who have become ac-
quainted with them will testify

SO now in the midst of the great

to take another step and have a

masculine or feminine in French.
"NIaison" being feminine they de

They merely took their word for

French word even though it is the
same as the English. that satisfied
the particular ones who wanted to
keep up French traditions. The new

you get into an apartment YOU have
20 stay there until. at least. the next
station. But most Of the Journeys
are short. Few persons travel far.
The French freight cars are built
on the same general principles The
average toad is ten tons Being light
they are easily shifted around in the
yards Virtually all the switching
is done by hitching a horse to the
car and "spotting" It where it where
IL is wanted. All yards have a small
turntable where the cars may be
turned and shunted TO other tracks.
All the larger yards are equipped
with an electric carrier. The car is
pushed on the carriage and then
carried by means OF an underground
trolley IIght across the yards and
deposited on any track.
Both freight and passenger cars
are constructed with the idea of
serving the maximum of people with
the minimum OF cost in rates. The
teu-tOn shipper can compete with
the rival who ships thousands Of
tons. Passenger rates are in the
same ratio. a soldier. for instance

French roadbeds are kept in good
condition. even in war time. and the
through trains make good time. The
French, not being I'm such a hurry
as the Americans. do not believe in
a grade if a cut or a nil can over
come 1t. They will bore a tunnel
through a hill rather than make a
curve around It, The sides Of the
cuts are frequently paved with
stones 20 prevent slides. The
straight tracks, together with the
fact that there are no grade cross

locomotives. are not equipped with
warning bells.

inasmuch as they had urged the grow

double their efforts to see that these
producers secure a fair price for their
produce, and thereby be able to avoid
