INSECT POWDER GROWN HERE

Was Discovered.

In our grandfathers' day the So

Pretty dear for bug-killer.
The stuff was mystery. Beyond
the fact that 1t was of a vegetable ma

As a matter of fact, It came from
Tfanscaucasia, where its production
was q very important industry. For
centuries it had been widely used in
Asiatic countries, and the source of
the materisl was secret carefully
kept.
Eventually the secret was revealed
by an Armenian merchant. who, trav-

Later on. attempts were made to IN

but the seeds refused 10 sprout. This

circumstance that the persons from

ACROSS OCEAN IN AlRPLANE
Expert Is of Opinion That Successful
Flight Will Be Made Before
End of Year.

The most famous voyage in the his.
tory of the world was made in 1892.
Columbus sailed from Spain. touched
the Portuguese coast, paused at the
Azores, and then drove across the un-
charted seas until his jOllybOats nosed
the sands of a new world.
Another voyage that will shine in
history beside that of Columbus will
almost surely reverse the route of the
great diScOverer-frOm the American
continent at Newfoundland. say, to
the Azores, thence to Portugal and
finally TO France. But 1t will be made
through the skies by airplane. And If
there is anything in prophecy based OF
science it will be made this year.
At least this is the settled opinion
of Mai. Gen. William S. Brancker, con-
troller general of equipment on the
British air council. General Brancker
Is now in Washington to help cO-Ordi-
nate the effort of the allies in the air.
His position as TO the flight across the
Atlantic is simply this: That ii must
be done some time in the present war.
that it is already possible to do it, and
that therefore il should be done now.
Once the first flight is an accomplish
ed fact he sees steadily growing fleets
of huge planes making the trip as
regular part Of the Independent aerial
offensive.-From Committee oil Public

Observation-Disclosures


And, of course, when it was yerboten,
he wanted to see him all the more.
A day or two after the order was
standing outside the barracks door
when / saw this fellow come out with
dividing board In his hand. l thought
he was going to smash somebody with
1t, so l stood by. But he stopped over
and damned one end of the board
against the threshold of the door,
scratched the ground with the farther
end of the board and measured again.
He kept this up, length by length, in
the direction of the Russian barracks.
The sentry in the yard stopped and
stared at him, but the fellow kept
right on, paying no attention to any
body. Pretty soon he was right by the
sentry's feet and 1 thought any minute
the sentry would give him the butt.
but he just stared while and let him
pass. That lad measured the whole
distance to the Russian barracks, went
inside, stayed a while and calmly
strolled back with the board under his
arm. When he reached our barracks
again he told US he had found a vino
mine. What he had found was some
thing not so unusual-a boneheaded
German.
There was a lot of bamboo near the
Russian barracks and the Russians
made baskets out of it and turned
them in to the Germans. For this they
got all the good jobs in the kitchen
and had fine chance to get more to

NEW YEARS DAY.

We step into a New Year. 1t Is a
great opportunity. The sun will rise
and set in the same way, and life's
duties will come and go much as they
do today, and nothing will he very
different or distinctive; and yet, we
say, the dawning of a New Year is a
gerat opportunity. 1t is our imagina'
tion-surely a God-given faculty-that
helps to make IL SO. Nature and the
hare facts of life do not show any dit
ference between today and tomorrow,
but something, nevertheless, does come
TO Us today with a unique and a spe-
cially hopeful message. It is the won
derful helpful and alluring inspiration
that comes from the thought of new
start. We cannot absolutely begin all
over again; the stern experiences or
the days to come will soon show US
that we cannot. Yet in a sense we
can. and the sense in which we can
does mean a great opportunity. We
can use that opportunity so that 1t
will not too cruelty disappOlnt us In
the end. We can really begin to be
the better thing that our imagination
pictures to us today. We ought not
TO miss the opportunity.

GOOD NEW YEAR ADVICE.

The old familiar wish rings true,
A Happy New Year, friends, to you"
a man who keeps up the custom of
sending New Year cards TO his friends
included this year a second card bear
ing these words:
Instead of returning evil for evil,
try to return evil with good; to say
nothing i'll Of others; TO act kindly
even with dumb animals
Live thus one day, two days, or
more, and compare the state of your
mind with its state in former days.
Make the attempt and you will see
how the dark, evil moods have passed
away and how the souls happiness has
increased.
Make the attempt, and you will see
that the gospel of love brings the
greatest and most desirable Of all
things"
On these cards Is written, This is
Tolstoy's advice. 1t is good to pin on
a calendar where it Will be seen every
day"

that were in the bunch. The Huns
knew that COssack never fOrgets and
will get revenge for the slightest mis-
treatment, even If it means his death.

acks there, however. 1 do not think
they let themselves get captured very
often.
We had roll call every morning, of
course, and were always mustered in
front of our barracks, the middle of
the line being right at the barracks
door. Sometimes when the cold got
too much for them, the men nearest
the door would duck into the bar
racks. AS they left the ranks the
other men would close uD and this
kept the line even, with the center still
opposite the barracks door, Finally
almost all of the men would be in the
barracks and by the time the roll was
over not one remained outside. This
seemed to peeve the German officers

CHAPTER XIII.
Despair-and Freedom.


While I was working at the hos
pital conditions at my old barracks
had been getting worse and worse.
Very few of the men were absolutely
right in the head. l guess, and almost
all had given up hope of ever getting
out alive. Though they put up a good
front TO the Huns, they really did not
care a great deal what happened to
them. The only thing to think about
was the minute they were living in.
The day l came back two English
men, who had suddenly gone mad,
commenced TO fight each other. 1t was
the most terrible fight l have ever
seen. 1t was some time before the
rest of us could make them quit, be-
cause at first we did not know they
were crazy. When we had them down,
however, they were scratched and bit
ten and pounded from head to foot.
Both of them bled from the nose all
that night, and toward morning one
Of them became sane for few min
utes and then died. The other was
taken away by the Germans, still
crazy.
Another time an Australian came
into our barracks and very seriously
told us that he had o drag with the
German officers and that he had been
70 dinner with them. and had had tur-
key, potatoes. coffee, butter, eggs,
sugar in his coffee, and all the luxuries
you could think of. We just sat and
stared at him. 1t seemed impossible
that any of our own men would have
the gall TO torture US like that, and yet
we could not possibly believe that 1t
had really happened. Finally, one
fellow could not stand 1t any longer.
He was nothing but skin and bones.
but he grabbed a dividing board and
there were Just two wallops: the
board hit the Australians head and
the head hit the floor. Then half a
dozen more pounced onto him and
gave him q real licking. When he
came TO he had forgotten all about
the wonderful dinner he did not have.
Not long after this the Russian doc
tors proved TO the Germans that there
was no black typhuS in our barra cks
and we were allowed the freedom of
the camp except that we could not
visit the Russian barracks. That was
no hardship to me nor TO the rest of
us, except one chap from the Cambrian
Range, who had a special pal among
the Russians that he wanted TO

but by sneaking back of the line and
closing up again we made the count
all right except for one man-Fon-
taine. We would have tried to cover
up for him, except that they had al
ready discovered his absence. Now.
We thought, they will nab Fontaine
but will not discover the escape of the
others.
But evidently they suspected some
thing, for soon they brought over a
petty officer from FL. NJ. S. Nomad.
who had not been with US before. and
forced him to call the roll from the
mastering papers, while they watched
the men as they answered. Then they
discovered that two more besides Fon-
taine were missing and began to search
for them.
The other two spoke German and
had been missing for at least three
days and, think, had escaped by this
time. They were not returned while
l was at Brandenburg.
This was about a. m. They drilled
us down to the little lake, where the
cold was much greater, and kept US
there until 3 p. m, without food or
drink. AT about eight that morning
they found Fontaine In a French bar
racks and kicked him all the way to
the lake where we were
All day long we stood there, falling
one by one and getting kicked or beat

selves up again. Two or three died
+ L do not know the exact number But
/ we had enough strength, when ordered
/ back to the barracks, to kick FOn-
taine ahead of US all the way. We
did not get anything to eat until seven
, the next neutrality-suspicious. hours
without food and water, ten of which
were spent in the snow without any
protection from the cold and wind.
No wonder we kicked Fontaine for
bringing this punishment on US and en-.
dangering the two who had escaped -
he had simply strolled over to the
French barracks and forgot to return.
Now, the food received was just
about enough to keep us alive. l sup
pose, with true kultur, the Huns had
figured out just how much it would
take to keep a man on this side of
the starvation line and gave US that
much and no more. So we were always
famished-always hungrier than you
probably ever have been. But some
times when we were ravenously hun
CRY and could not hold out any longer
We would trade rationS.
One man would trade his whole ra-
ton for the next day for half ration
today. That is, if you were so hungry
that you thought you could not last
out the day on your regular share, you
would tell someone else that if he gave
you half his share today you would
give him all of yours tomorrow. If he
was a gambler he would take you up.
That is, he would gamble on his being
alive tomorrow, not on your keeping
your word. He knew you would come
across with your ration the next day,
and like as not, If you tried to keep 1t
from him, he would kill you, and no
body would blame him.
