The lights were clustered at the foot
of a long and rather steep hill. DOVE
The declivity bounced and rocked the

low on the planks of bridge. The
road narrowed and became a village

Pat walked into the post Office. After
getting into the telephone box he
called a wrong number. AS there was
no such number the switch attendant
did not answer him. Pat shouted again,
but received no answer.
The lady of the post office opened
the door and told him to shout little
louder, which he did, but still no an
swer.
Again she said she would require
him to speak louder.
Pat got angry at this, and, turning
to the lady, said:

cling bag in one hand and an umbrella
In the other. AS soon as both feet
were securely planted on the platform
he put down the bag to wrestle with
the umbrella and the hurricane which
was apparently blowing from four d.
rections at once. Feeling his hat leav-
ing his head, he became aware that
the umbrella had turned inside out.
He threw the wreck violently under
the train and stopped to pick up the
bag. The bag was no longer there.
"It's all right" said a calm voice be-
hind him. "Tve got your satchel,

The bewildered New Yorker felt his
arm seized In a firm grip, and he was
rushed across the platform, through a
deluge of wind driven water, and into

room. When he pushed his hat clear
of his eyes he saw that his rescuer
was thu big man who boarded the train

HOOVER WRITES MESSAGE
FOR FRENCH FOOD CARD

Proof that the Allied peoples look
upon the United States as their vav-
iour from starvation Is shown by the
fact that even upon the bread cards
OF France there Is a message from
the United States Food Administra-
tor. The Ministere De L'Agriculture
ct Du OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ing to our Food Administrator-re-
Gently asked the United States Food
Administrators for message which
could be distributed to the people OF
France, and this now appears on their
bread card issued by the European
Republic.
Mr.. Hoover's message reads: "Ev-
cry coupon in France Is mute proof
Of the resolution Of the French peo-
ple to. deprive themselves OF every
thing to one issue-the winning OF
this war. To win now rests on the
number of tons of men and munitions
that America can ship in. and on the
magnificent French Army. And with
this daily economy in food there will
be enough ships-and there will b
enough fodd to maintain health and
strength.

TEXAS CATTLE EAT

that Texas cattle will eat the wings
OF an airplane If the machine is left
unguarded is one OF the reasons why

pressed upon every cadet aviator
training in Texas. The cadets are
instructed particularly never TO leave
their ships" In fields no matter how
far from the travelled road.
The fact that cows have an appe-
tite for airplanes was discovered only
after one or two machines had suf-
fered real loss from discriminating
Texas cattle.
The wide. supporting planes are
covered with a cellulous preparation
that makes them air tight. known In
the technique of flying as DOPE and

cows as the bovines have discovered
for a long time. 1t softens under
their tongues and the cattle IN their
eagerness to obtain II, will chew the

tract the last particle OF dope" flavor
Another reason for the order Is thar

Souvenir hunters, however. are much

who have made forced landings while

quires their utmost vigilance to keep
curious spectators from breaking UP
their ships" and carrying them away
piecemeal, so eager are the country
people for souvenirs.
An aviator landed recently in
wheat field not far from here. The
curiosity and interest in him was so
great that in less than an hour. the
field was so crowded that the owner
OF the ground had TO ask the Dali
las police to clear the field to prevent
his growing crops from being stamped
into a total loss.

u. 5. ALWAYS BEEN
ON GOOD TERM 8
WITH ITALIAN S.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May a.
The American people can enter into
todays celebration OF America
Day with the pleasant recollection
that Italy is one OF the few great ma
tons engaged in the present war
with which the United States has
never had any serious disagreement.
The two nations have always been
good friends, which is somewhat re-
markable when the proverbial tickle
ness of nations is taken into consid-
Grafton.
In the present conflict with Austria
the Italians are making war on their
traditional enemy. Italy has not al
ways been on friendly terms with
France. one of her present allies, and
in the past the two nations have sew
eral times engaged in war.
Down to four years ago, Prussia and
England had record OF unbroken
friendship. and OF more than one al
lance, but that fact did not stand in
the way of the present bitter strug-
tgle taking place. Prussia fought
Austria in 1866, but now the two are
are allies. England and France We're
at war for many years, down to 1915.
Then they were allies in the Crimea.
England was Americas foe in 1875
and 1912, but they Joined hands over
the Holy Alliance. France was the
staunch friend of the colonies during
the American Revolution, but there
were times subsequently, when they
nearly came to blows.
1t is now known that just before
the United States entered the present
war. Germany appealed to this coun-
try to take her side on account of the
traditional friendship between the
two countries and pointed out that
the British were her traditional
enemy"
But history shows that there Is no
such things as traditional friendship"
when the interests of nations are at
state. No better Illustration of the
truth of this statement can be found
than in the present case of the Turks
and Bulgars. For years the people of
these countries have been at dagger's
points, and now they are allies against
two Powers which were formerly their
best friends and protectors.
