DON'T LET SOAP
SPOIL YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair. be
caCeful what you use. Most soaps

The best thing to use is Just

this is pure and entirely grease

thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and .

THE weather here Is getting
much better, which makes us all
mighty happy, as you know this is
no place for a dollhouse flower,
and altho l can say that this out
fit is n0f of that kind, still we sure
are glad to welcome the weather
that we are getting now.
"As per usual we are working
every day and have something to
show for our time here. The
18th sure has shown that they
have the goods, and today we can
say that we are the best engineers
in France and our record will
back it up. Wherever we GO
which is ywhere-we are
known as the Working 18th and
the dough boys, the cavalry, ma
rines and all the other branches
of the service hate to see US
around because we work them on
our various jobs.
There are a great many things
that | would Ike to tell YOU,
but it IS impossible. You people
back home don't realize what this
/ war is and the magnitude of the
great projects that we are engi-
neering and constructing. We can
hardly believe some OF them our
selves. But we will need every
thing and are pushing this work
thru as swiftly as possible.
owing to my particular line
am often away on engineering de-
tails which suits me fine, as l see
the various parts of France. To-
morrow ! leave my company again
and one of these days / EXPECT to
be laying barb wire and cutting
the same as we'll as doing other
engineering work needed at the
front. | am over here and willing
to go any place. War is hell
but we have to win and I'll do my
part in every way. Perhaps | will
come out o. X.
II don't think this war is near
ly over so you people there at
home just figure to do your part
because we Will need 1t over here
before this great struggle is over,
but we will come out on top. The
American has the snap and the
speed and the Dutchman has al
ready felt some of our sting, but
in the near future you will hear
hear more Of the boys who are
fighting for liberty and every one
of you there at home.
I'VE sit around at night and
often talk about things at home,
but | don't think that there is a
man in the 18th engineers who
would go home tomorrow if he
| had a chance. Some of the un-
fortunate ones have to go, but
they hate to leave us, but we can [
all go throu without losing men.
Before this is over many of us
will not see Gods country again."

The Fable
of the Book

Once upon a time in Holland, an intense
rivalry developed between two neighbor-
ing towns over the manufacture of bever-
age. The one town claimed that the prod
uct of its rival lacked body, while the town
whose product was attacked charged that
the product of the town attempting the be-
littlement was the one lacking in body To
settle the dispute, which finally assumed an
hostile aspect, a square was cleared mid
way between the two towns. In this square
two large oil fabric receptacles were erect
ed. During the period of construction each
town set to manufacture a beverage bear
ing the heaviest body of which it could
conceive. Then on certain day, the in
labitants of the two towns journeyed to the
cleared square. bearing their beverages
with them. At the square, the beverage
from one town was placed in one recep-
tacle. and the beverage from the rival town
in its twin. For three days the recepta-
Giles were guarded, after which the inhabi-
tants of the two towns returned. The ap-
pointed judges then made a public examin-
alton and found the beverage from one
town had been so light that it had all
seeped through the fabric, while the bev-
erage from the other town was so heavy
that practically no particle had escaped.
At the announcement of the result, the
Mayor of the losing town exclaimed that
a Book "a Holland word for goat had
broken into the square and with its horn
had ripped a tear in the receptacle hold
ing their beverage, and thus had 1t come
to be spilled over the ground. To this,
the Mayor Of the winning town replied
that the only Book making way into the
square was in their beverage and it yet re-
manned in the receptacle This witticism
shattered the alibi of the losing town and
distinguished the product of the winner as
the beyeTa gre of the Rock
After the decision was made and the
popularity subsidized somewhat, the bever-
age of the winning town was distributed
among those assembled. This act estab-
lished custom. Now, in the Spring of
each year, leading manufacturers of bev-
erage produce an especially fine, dark,
heavy body beverage Book beverage,
and distribute 1t as an appreciation of the
patronage extended them.

AWFUL ATROCITIES

Marcus Howard, of Port Ange-
les, has no illusions about the
ferocity of the Huns. In a letter
he has sent home he cites in
stances of atrocities which have
come under his personal observa-
ton. A partial quotation from a
recent letter from him follows:
There are lots of German and
Austrian prisoners here and ] have
an opportunity to learn something
of the soldiers of our enemies and
their opinions. We are not al
lowed to talk to the prisoners, yet
working among them ve find out
quite a few of their ideas. The
Austrians are not SO bad.
They do not seem so aggres-
sive or hold any idea of world
power, but every German in Eu-
rope today things the Germans
should rule the world. They are
arrogant and conceited and every
one of them Is little kaiser. We
are not just fighting the kaiser
alone, we are fighting the German
people. They have been educated
for the last 40 years to believe
as the kaiser believes.
There is sample of German
kultur close here. A Belgian
woman with three small children
and each one has its right hand
cut off. What advantage could

II do not like army life and

German reprisals IL 1t takes years
to do 1t. An eye for an eye and
a tooth for a tooth is my motto
in this war. l will ask no quar-
ter, neither will give any quar-
ter. ! want to see the defeat OF
the German army and some OF
their own kultur inflicted on
them. am glad to know the folks

like a long, long war. ! have

six months and / expect to be here
a long time yet. The folks a,
