Week.
Hospital facilities for the care Of
1O5,476 sick and wounded soldiers are
available in army hospitals. according
to the February report of the Surgeon
General of the Army.
This is one testimonial to the Yanks
which the American people can proper
" insure through the Victory Liberty
Loan. At the rate charged in the hos
pitfalls Of the country, 81 day is re-
ouired to maintain each bed. In one
week the total for maintenance Of SOL
diers' beds would, on the same basis,
reach three-quarters Of d million dol
lars.
Many of our sick and wounded boys
require special treatment so that the
expense is likely to be greater than
the low daily rate quoted. Then, too,
only a part Of the sick and wounded
have reached US.
The Victory Liberty Loan which the
people of the United States are going
to put over with whoop will provide
the very best care and treatment fol
every soldier, sailor and marine who
needs attention. Your mind can be
easy on that score when you subscribe
to the Victory Loan.

"The war will not be over until

This is the declaration Of Car

There are two ways of securing
their payment. One way is with
money lent by the people to the

"For normal cruising the plates are
folded together. A double steering

two members turn as one. At other
times, when the two wheels are thrown

is that for every Hun lie uttered there

The truths are embodied in slogans

speeches, General Pershing's messages,
and from literature sent out by the
committee on public information, the
National Security league and other or
ganizations.
Miss Leighton is also advising club
women, teachers, and other groups to
write the slogans on slips of paper and
to inclose them in all letters sent to

written in the language of the country
for which they are intended. so that
they can be handed to soldiers and CIV

Preserving Stonehenue.

Antiquaries have felt some concern

camp and training ground during the
war; In spite of the good will of the

prehistoric remains of Stonehenge and

spector has been appointed to watch
over the antiquarian treasures of the
plain Is, therefore, Oil on troubled wa

BAT AT HOME EVERYWHERE
Species Of the Race Vary AZ Widely
as Their Habits-Not Especially
Deadly to Mosquitoes.

As group bats are Of worldwide
distribution except in the inhospita.
BILE polar regions. They are real nam
mails and present an extraordinary
variation in size. from tiny little crea
lures, almost as small and fragile as
butterflies. to the huge fruit bats, with
q spread Of wings like that of wild
goose.
The heads Of bats are strangely
sculptured, some being smoothly con-
toured and shaped like those of little
foxesI others appear like miniature
bulldogs; and still others have curious
cartilaginOuS nOse-leaveS upright on
the muZzle. Some have the entire face
nodded into hideous mask repulsive
to look upon.
Their habits are equally varied to
meet special conditions: Some are
eaters of fruit alone; others feed sole
ly upon insects, while others bite other
mammals, including man, for the pur-
pose of drinking the oozing blood, upon
which they subsist. All are nocturnal.
but some appear late in the afternoon,
before the sun sets. Most species,
however. wait until the shades Of
night have covered the earth.
Throughout the world the majority
of the species Of bats feed upon in
sects. but there are many fruit eat
ers. The teeming insects and plant
life OF the tropics afford a never-fail-
ing food supply, and the center Of
abundance of these animals Is found
there. In some localities between 20
and 80 kinds Of bats exist, with such
vast numbers Of individuals that the
bat population far outnumbers all 9TH
er kinds of mammals combined.
And alas it is not true that bats
prefer diet Of mosquitoes!

Yakima Indians in the state Of

deferred classification, and are ask
ing to be taken in the earliest draft
and given an opportunity, as soon as
possible. to enter active service at
the front. Indians OF many other
tribes, up to few years ago called
savage, are taking like course. All
this Is pleasing, in the first place, be-
cause it proves that the Indians are
loyal to the United States, its insti-
buttons, and its flag. and, in the Sec
ond place. because the conduct Of
these warriors in battle is certain to
be such as to show the Prussians with
whom they may be brought into con-
