cADDY WISE 70 HIS JOB
Preferred to Serve New Golf Player
% Because She Never Knocked Ball
Out Of Sight.

Henry was nice red-haired little
boy and the best caddy at the club
so he was In great demand. Mrs. s.
had just taken up golf that summer.
The first time she played she happened
to have Henry. He was so good that
the next morning when she went out
she asked for him again. As they were
coming In on the ninth hole Henry
looked at her wistfully and asked her
If she were going to play the next
morning. If she were he suggested
that he wait for her.
So 1t got to be habit for Mrs. S.
to play every morning and for Henry
to wait and caddy for her. One day
Mrs. S. said:
''You know, Henry, I don't think it's
fair to you or to the other golf players
for you to caddy for~me every time, be-
cause you are the best caddy up here,
everybody says, and I'm about the
worst player. Suppose we switch to-
morrow and you go with good play
er. Wouldn't you like to do that?'
And Henry shook his fiery little
head. "Why, all the other caddies just
envy me caddyin" for you, cuz when
you hit the ball it never goes out of
sight"

EnoIand Breeds Rabbits for Food.

Rabbit breeding in England has been
undertaken by the government in an
effort to relieve the shortage of meat
due to the war.
The National Utility Rabbit asso
citation, it was announced recently, has
established central breeding station
and stud exchange in Vauxhall, Lon.
don. The first club started in London
under auspices Of the association is at
the Royal news, Buckingham palace
The primary object is to build up as
quickly as possible large supply OF
the best pedigreed stock, which will be
sent to provincial breeding centers.
These in turn will supply breeding
stock to smaller stations.
Each of the larger provincial centers
win have 100 breeding does, while the
smaller stations will keep on hand
about 20 each. 1t is the hope of Off
Gals that all allotment societies, food
production organizations, women's in
stitutes and many factories, munition
works, school and summer camps will
form rabbit clubs to be affiliated with
the national association.

SETTING UP WORK IN FRANCE
French Military Exercises Make Amer.
lean ManeuVers Look Like Kin
dergarten, Says Writer.

Every so often the captain takes us
down into field behind the mill and
makes US do French exercises. Believe
me, they are some exercise exclaims
George PattuIlo in the Saturday Even
ing Post. The old army setting up ex-
ereises are joke beside them, and
these take about three weeks for guy
to work up to because you can't stand
them straight through until you get
hardened.
First you do the Indian walk, all
bent over with your hands neal touch
ing the ground. 1t tires your back and
legs; but that is the way you'll have to
walk In the trenches, so why not train
the muscles now7
Then you get down on your hands
and run like bear, straight ahead
and sideways, for about a hundred
yards. And after that you put your
hands on the ground and leap like a
frog the same dLstaneel When you
have done that you start off from a
mark ickety-splt as hard as you can
leg 1t, and then down you flop like a
sack Of meal and keep right on going
at a crawl, fiat on your stomach, using
your elbows to do same. That is to
practice advance with rife to attack.
You have to crawl over the ground on
your stomach pulling yourself with
your hands, too.
These exercises are to train the mus
al IN
fight the boche, because that is the on
ly safe way to move around there. And
it amt SO safe at that, neither!

Study of Rats Valuable.

After II years of experimenting
with rats, DIR. r. V. McCollum, head
of the chemistry department of the
school of hygiene and public health
of Johns Hopkins university, has
reached the conclusion that the food
requirements of all animals, includ-
ing man, are the same.
He declares that the extensive con-
sumption of dairy products is neces-
sary to produce vigorous race and
prOlong life.
During the years that Doctor Nc
Collum has been studying this ques-
ton, especially interesting now, when
food is playing such an important
part In the affairs of the world, he
has been housing about 1900 white
and hybrid rats in his laboratory.

| The relief activities of the Red
! Cross, apart from its house patching
and repair work, were carried on
| through French relief societies, or
through groups of Americans who set
tied id the villages, and by personal
service and the force Of their example
| breathed life into the ruined farms.
One such group was the American
Fund for French Wounded at Bleran-
court, in the AiSne. Another was the
Society of Friends at Golancourt, Ham
and Gruny, in the Somme. Another
! was the Smith College Relief Unit at
| Grecourt, In the Somme. Through
such devoted groups as these goods
were distributed to the destitute, and
the implements for farm labor given
to the able. Along with the relief
societies there was an important move
ment to organize agricultural co-Opera-
tive societies in the devastated region.
Almost one hundred agricultural asso-
Citations were in existence: the French
government rented them American
tractor plows, and the Red Cross
bought them focks of sheep and
quantities Of seed for planting
That was the situation one year to
day since the Germans were driven
back to the Hindenburg line from the
burning villages In the Sonlme, the
Disc, and the Aisne. A week later,
every trace of this work was blotted
out; the Germans had again occupied
the terrain which for strategic" rea-
sons they had evacuated year before.

At the rail heads the refugees sat
among their bundles, families huddleC
together fearful Of being separated In
| the hustle, their eather-beds and often
their rabbits and goat pressed close
| to them. They were dulled by the
| noise and by their own WEAKNESS. The
only activity was caused by the Ameri-
cans, each Of whom insisted on finding
my people," and collecting them so
that he might better attend to their
wants "Petits peres," an old woman
called them.
From the human side the evacuation
is, and always will be, indescribable.
1t was a vast lava flow of men, ami
mails and materials. Every little coun-
try road and every highway was
damned with the endless lines of
camions moving back the aviation
camps, pulling out immense guns, SAL
vaging military supplies of all sorts,
and at the same time removing the
civilians and their little possessions.
The refugees in their weak misery,
and the soldiers In their grim calm
ness, passed each other on the roads;
the one moving forward to stop the
invaders, the other fleeing back to
safety. The fugitives carried, as best
they could, their valuables, seeking
safety, and the younger men of their
race bearing heavy equipment, went
quietly towards the maelstrom. 1t was
like some medieval pageant, for the
weak and the strong, the dazed and
the keen all bore spring flowers, yell
low daffodls or pale anemones, which
they gathered as they went along.

Story of the Destruction.

The desecrated lands were just
springing to life again. The first
sprouts of spring wheat carpeted the
the fragrance Of cherry blossoms hung
in the air. In the crispness of the
early morning gangs of French work
men in the two big Red Cross bar
racks were just getting ready to go
to their work when the British Town
Major came in. 1--WE must evacuate
your wOrkmen across the Somme," he
said. ''All civilians are to be sent be-
yond the river at once"
Civilians from neighboring towns
were herded together with their hand
baggage and livestock. The rapidity
with which the order was executed
was almost incredible. The two motor
trucks which belonged to the construc-
ton camp were hastily placed at the
disposal Of the population, and a sort
Of dry-land ferry service was estab-
lished back and forth to the bridges
over the river Somme. American mill
tary engineers had built those bridges
for the British army. The American
relief staff In the town of Ham began
an immediate evacuation of its small
store of supplies; its cars organized
ferry service and carried exhausted
civilians beyond the danger zone. The
chauffeurs drove again and again into
the bon1barded towns to bring out the
last remaining families. One Of the
chaufreurs in a camionette drove into
Ham with three fat tires on broken
down springs and carried out six
wounded British soldiers.
The staff and the two thousand civil

! ians from Ham were withdrawn first
to Nesle, and then to Roye. At Nesle
the American Red Cross had storage
facilities in two wooden barracks, and
its stock of food and condensed milk
were OF immediate value to the refl-
gees and the wounded soldiers stream
ing In from Ham. A small but impor-
tant children's hospital also was at
Nesle, In a brick house called the
Pavilion Joffre. The doctor, the
nurses and their patients were evacu-
ated to Rove. where they installed
themselves in a small civil hospital
belonging to the Secours d'Urgence,
and where that night they received
wounded soldiers. The following day
they were evacuated to Amiens.
The British and American Society
of Friends, in close utilization with the
American Red Cross, reported them
selves and their cars Immediately to
the relief delegates in their districts.
These noncombatants worked under
shellfire without sleep. without rest,
day after day and all the nights. The
Philadelphia Unit, at yillequier-Au-
mont, did similar service
The Blerancourt Unit used their mo-
tor-trucks to capacity in evacuating
civilians from the villages northeast
Of them.
On the third day OF the battle the
Unit itself was forced to leave Bleran-
court. At one o'clock In the morning
they went to Vic-sur-Aisne, where al
ready they had established their Of
fees and their movable goods. The or
phans whom they had adopted were
taken even further from the lines, to
Villers-C otterets.

TIME little towns and villages along

Disc. and the Aisne, were burn
ing like bontires, and Allied airplanes
sweeping back from patrols over St
Quentin, plunged through clouds Of
black smoke. 1t was d great but a
tragic day for France. The German
armies were In retreat, but they had
taken their revenge by Systematically
burning or blowing up every house.

and scores of villages. SO 1t was a

Life had come back to the desolated
fields and villages in the year which
had passed since the great German
retreat Slowly and painfully people
had returned And when the Ameri-
can Red Cross sent its Commission to
Europe last year, almost its first
thought was how it could help these
people. When the Department of Civil
Affairs was created it's director, Homer

Several relief departments were estab-
