American engineers say it will take
from eight months to three years to
put the coal mines of Lens, France,
back into good working condition.
With what they have seer of Ameri-
cans working, the natives will expect
the mines to be in action In much near
er eight months than three years. Hav-
ing seen Americans perform the ap-
parently impossible, they will look to
them to keep on doing so.

SHE KNEW THE GREAT STORY
Girl Lacked Gift Of Narrative, but
Was Able to Tell All About
Chateau Thierry.

AS we crawled up a railroad track
In the vicinity Of Chateau Thierry
(this was in October)-a railroad
track which seemed the only new and
complete object in sight-the Y. M. G.
A. girl. who had been sitting in the
corne Of the compartment resisting
all advances at conversation, volun-
teered a remark.
sour division took It," she said.
1t turned out that she had gone in
with her canteen just behind the divi-
sion. during that fight wherein Amer
lea made good. She lacked the narra-
tive talent. that girl. but she came out
at intervals with flashes like this:
"When our boys. came up the strag-
glers said to them: You can't stay in
thereP And our boys said: Wen
not only stay there. but we're going
forward When the stragglers saw
that, they formed, too. and went back
with them"
Or this, as we drew into sight of a
road bordered by blackened ruins:
There's where our divisions came
into sight, singing, The Yanks Are Com
ing.'"-Wil Irwin In the Saturday

why A CHAPLAIN?
SOME NEW MEMBERS OF LEGIS-
LATURE ASK QUESTION.

Pierre, Jan. 15.-Why is a legis-
~lative chaplain?
This question is bothering some of
the new members of the South Da-
kota legislature, particularly those
who. having been denied use of SUI
gar. wheat flour and a few other
necessities" during the war, have
accustomed themselves to economy of
the cheese pairing kind. Several
members of the house apparently
find 1t difficult to understand why
the chaplain should be a necessary
Institution.
why the delay; why don't we
start making laws at once?" was an
other question advanced by new
members Immediately when the ses-
sion opened.
Among the laws to be proposed
early in the session is one changing
the present act relating to standard
weights and measures. The proposed
measure would bring the state law
more nearly Into conformity with the
federal law than it now stands. An
other set which will be put in in the
house before long is one amending
the law prescribing what is a legal
boundary fence. An act with this
same end in view was strapped over
in The session of last year. taking up
couple Of days in each house. FL
nally 1t vas killed, but it will appear
again this year.
An act to be proposed which will
be of interest to sportsmen of the
state will be one providing a state
fishing license-putting 1t In with the
bird bunting license and charging
only the present fee of 81, but put
ting part Of the burden upon the fish
ermen. Sportsmen may then. how
ever, be permitted more game fish
ing. with a possibility of a year round
open season for trout in the Black
Hills at least, IL not for all game fish
in the lakes in the eastern part of the
state. Other enactments to be pro-
posed and backed by the game de-
partment would complete the state
game preserve in the hills, provide
for the selling of further lands for
funds, and make provision for main
roads through the park, which is IL
niles long and eight miles wide.

GOING TO WE'D? SURE!
"Gobs" Merely Waiting to Be
Mustered Out.
Tired Of Being Single and Now Want
to Marry and Settle
Down. .

Quantico, Va.-American maidens
who have been worrying whether your
marines would pop the question when
they come home, stand "at ease"
A canvass of marine barracks here
at Quantico, where 10000 men have
been waiting their chance at the Hun,
made by a reporter for Leatherneck,
the camp paper, shows that 80 per
cent of the single men intend marry
ing when they are discharged. How's
that for good news?
"We're tired Of being single. We
want to marry and settle down." Is
the consensus of the replies.
These marines, many of whom viii
be discharged when the president d
clares the national emergency no long
er exists, are fitting themselves for
good jobs that will permit them to
wed. Evening business classes are be-
ing held at the Y. M. c. A., and ex-
perts are explaining everything from
bookkeeping and shorthand to soil
cultivation and dairying.
The training the men have under
gone admirably fits them for mar
riage. There isn't a marine in the
service who doesn't claim to be able
to wash his clothes whittier than any
woman can ever get them. Every man
can mend and press his own clothes.
And as far as being "handy about the
house." why, most Of them can open
a can of tomatoes with a toothpick
and drive a nail with a feather
duster.

cape From Death to Miraculous
interposition.

Saved by the hand of God" is the
way the nine natives composing the
crew of the S0-ton schooner Oromana
characterize their escape from death,
after having drifted helplessly so days
on one of the loneliest bits OF ocean
In the seven seas.
When the wreck of the Oromana
was towed into Papeete harbor, Tahiti,
one Of the most remarkable voyages
known In these waters was completed.
The vessel. a two-masted schooner.
owned by natives of Rlmatara, an
island about 800 miles southwest of
Tahiti, left her home port, without
cargo, bound for the island of Rurutu,
In the same group, where she was to
undergo repairs and take. cargo of
copra for Tahiti.
Two days out, she was struck by a
storm, which carried away both her
masts and later her rudder, leaving
her a helpless derelict.
With eve a glimpse of LAND or sail
to give a ray of hope, the Oromana
drffted for 90 days. After 10 days the
supply of food was gone. The natives
managed to catch a shark with hook
and line. This lasted them five days.
The rest OF the time they had no food.
An occasional shower prevented death
from thirst.
Then the miracle" happened. The
mountains Of Tahiti rose slowly owe
the horizon. The shifting sea current
brought them nearer and nearer until
they were finally sighted from shore
and a powerboat sent to tow them in.
They were too weak to rise to their
feet, but, after a few days ashore all
appeared to be rapidly recovering from
their experience.
The natives say the hand of God
guided their craft, for the prevailing
winds In these ATTITUDES are from the
northwest, a direction which would
have brought them to Tahiti.

though she lived to be as old as the
