to hear from you, and to know that
you are well. I am feeling pretty

| the papers. / hope this letter will
find you all we'll. dreamed of see
| ing mother last night. 1t seemed very
real. hope it will come true soon.
II don't have chance to write very
often because paper and envelopes
are scarce, and the Y. M. G. A. is a
long distance away However, hope
you will keep up writing just the
same as often as you can, because
| am always anxiously waiting to hear
from you to know how things are
going along. Don't worry, would

ARE YOU ONE OF THESE KIND or PEoPLE7

Are YOU one of those mulish impersuadable individuals
who get violently obstinate whenever encounterng one
of their own kind?
So you are "not one of that kind" Ell?
Then why were you so furous-''fghting mad"--a'
you expressed it, when Of your pet opinions wa
knocked in the head by a somebody who is just as un
yielding as you are in regard to what he thinks?
Listen to a whisper It does not pay to be so "deat
sot" positive about anything
There, there smooth out the rued sef-esteem which
is as much part of your anatomy as you'd hdebount
torso and open up to suggestions What hurt was the
fact that you had expressed yourself very strongly il
favor Of that certain something to the ones who
hearing the opposite opinion very openly agreed witt
a judgment contrary to your own.
And-they had been rather silent when you had EN-.
phaticaly voiced your sayeven politely nodding ap.
parent approvawhich encouraged you much in the be
lief that you were right
Don't blame the person involved if you are rather
taken in as to what that person thinks when you hive
pressed yourself as vehemeny belgerenty you do
sometimes.

THE OLDEST OF ALMANAcs

There is in the British MuseuI2 an
almanac three thousand years OH
probably the oldest almanac In Tie
world. It was found In one Of the
muried tombs Of Egypt the owner
must have valued il, since he had II
buried with him.
| 1t is written on papyrus, in col
Smns, and there are Is pages well
preserved. Its chief purpose was to
lihfcrm its owner whether each day
was lucky on unIucky for any sort Of
enterprise. Certainly 1t was not so
important to know that certain day
as the fifth day of Tobi, with a new
moon anda prospect of rain, as to
know that It was a day when you
must not starr on a journey, look at a
rat, wash yourself with water, or even
go out Of doors before daylight.
This almanac was no brief yearly
affair; but was planned for four years
and gave for that period the dates
of the fixed and movable feasts, Of
which the Egyptians had y great num-
Der It was issued for the,four years
following the ffty-seventh year Of
Rameses the Great.
The days are written in red ink,
and each one is followed by three
characters-morning, day, evening,
each with its significant mark to de-
note prosperous, Indifferent, adverse /;
the first sign is in black ink, and the
others are in red.
For example, the twenty-ffth of
Thoth is marked "Good, good, mid
ding" with the caution, "Do not 20
outdoors in the evening"" the for
tunate qualities of the day appar-
emily declined with the sun. And in,
another month is a cay of which ii
is declared, "a child born on this
day will die a prince Of the people"
When you consider how little
person has to do with the choice Of
his birthday, it is discouraging to find
SO many dangers awaiting an unlucky
selection, one day assured your death
in the jaws Of crocodile, and an
other birthday meant that you would
be eaten by serpent.
The day Of all days to be born
was the fifth of Phamenoth, the day
Of the great feast in honor of Meth,
the mother-god of Egypa. Herodotus
wrote about that feast more than two
thousand years ago. He calls it the
Feast of Lamps, when every house
must be illuminated.
The old almanac written thousand
years before Herodotus names the
day on which the feast falls and COM
mends it as fortunate Tor all manner
of undertakings, since all the gods
and goddesses were rejoicing and
were we'll disposed toward mankind.
There were days when no one
must go hunting or fishing, special
days for eating beef and drinking
wine, days when it was unlucky to
travel, and one was marked "Do
at all todayp

FROM CAMP UPTON


Evacuation Hospital No. Sc,
Camp Upton, N. Y, Oct. 2sth,
Dear Mother
Just got here, Some camp. We are
IiE the barracks now about rs miles
| FROM New York. We came by way
Of Macon, Augusta, Ga, Sumpter,
Richmond, Va, Washington, d. C.,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York.
It was trly great trip. We trav-
eled in Pullman coaches (sleepersl
One man to seat think of it.
We had our mesS car to prepare our
meals for US and we were served with
out getting out Of our seats.
At Florence, N. c., we got off and
ran up and down the platform for ex-
ercise. We went through Washing
ton after night, so could not see any
thing. Where we saw things was in
New York City, where we saw the
Statue Of Liberty, Singer Building,
Woolworth Building, Municipal Life
-skyscrapers you know, We got
aboard boat at Jersey City and rode
under Brooklyn Bridge, and got off
at Long Island City, where we board
ed train for camp.
We saw boat that had been she'll
ed by U-boat, as a result Of which
it caught fire and had a scorched APP
peasance, and all the super-structure
was burned away Saw battleship,
some ocean liners, Brooklyn navy
yards, and other things too numer-
GUS to mention, Can't tell it all on
pepper as we haven't had supper yet
and it is after 6 O'clock p. M, and
am in hurry and will have to cut
it short.
What marching we did was rather
laborious as we had a heavy load.
We had our blanket rolls, which con-
sisted of three o. P. blankets, and
rolled up in them were our clothes
and things which were issued to us.
The government issued us the follow
ing besides the three blankets 2 out
side shirts, 2 suits underwear, pairs
Of sox, / sweater, / coat, | pair Of
pants, pair of knit gloves, all Of
which are wool Then, of course,
leggins, hats, shoes &C., tent pole and
stakes, safety razor and brush, tooth
brush, trench mirror, mess kit, and
our medican kit weighs about Is or
20 pounds. It has numerous pockets
filed with gauze, medicine and diff
ferent instruments, besides hand axe
and canteen. We wore the medical
belt instead Of having it in our blan-
ket rolls. Then a slicker and a good
heavy overcoat made us a real load,
believe me.
However, this is not all we are ex-
pected to have, for we must have
xnap sack and have it provided with
,hree days rations;ialso a half-tent--
The full load is rather unwieldly.
Suppose this is all that can write
It this time. Be good Say, Broth
er Zedrick will send my suit case
rom camp Wheeler. Hope it gets
lome o. X.
Please write soon for we may not |
De here for very long. |

Well Informed on
Weather Condition

London, April 4-How do the Ger
mans obtain the accurate knowledge,
which they are known to possess, of
weather conditions in England, is Of
ten asked here. This knowledge is
essential for them in their air raids,
and captured documents show that
their meteorological reports are fairly
complete, despite the fact that no
publication of weather data or fore
casts is permitted in English news
papers.
An English meteorological expert
declares that the answer to the ques-
ton is not through any system of
spies and land wireless, but that the
data is derived from observations
taken by submarines
The important point for the Ger
mans, he says, is to know the wealth
er conditions off the northwest coast
of ireland and he thinks that sub
marine working at that place is de-
tailed to send weather reports to Ger
many by relays through the wireless
apparatus working around the Brit
ish Isles.

Newtown, April members of the
Pootatuck Rod & Reel club from
Bridgeport and Waterbury spent Mon
day and Tuesday fishing on the
stream-but with poor success. 1t is
thought the pickerel in most Fairfield
county streams preyed on the trout
during the long icel ocked winter, as
only a few trout have been caught
so far this season.
Two loads of spiles were cut down
on the land OF James Cavanaugh in
Pootatuck districted and RATED down
the Housatonic river to Zoar Bridge
this week, for use in the construction
of the dam. Dwellers along the river
banks enjoyed the novel sight of
polling the timber on the stream,
which feat has not been done since
the Shelton dam was built half CEN
fury ago.
The State Highway department give
notice that the stretch of state road
between Sandy Hook bridge and the
Housatonic district, a distance of 4 II
miles will be graded at once. The
contracts have been let as of April IL
to be completed within months
