 T may be mistaken, but I don't think that any other country is so generous as our own in many ways. The French peasants about here and in Savenay take the treatment the hospital authorities here render them a matter of course and in a lineup of patients for dental work at this hospital a few days ago counted six French civilians and three Tanks.
 ITO judge by the X-rays made here of fractures by woInds one would think that the fighting was still going on, but of course they are all old cases.
 ''The French peasants around here are revelation. They are using the same methods of cultivating the fields that their forefatheis might have used 50O years ago. The <ox cart is the chief means of conveE vance and Yin Rouge is the chief sustenR Rnce.
 But with all the quaintness and beau ty of old Brittany and the rest of France have yet to see a single American who wants to stay over here a single day longer As for me you may be sure I am longing for that place that has become almost mythical but is really still in ex- istence and is called Birmingham Very sincerely.

This is particularly true where food IS con cerned. Cake made with good butter not only has a food value far m ex- cess of other kinds of cake, but there IS a satisfaction in serving your family or your guest with high-class cake the superiority of which they instantly recognize. .A4
 You see, our MT Stone, from whom Ahe cake was named is a cake special fist. He is confining his whole thought and attention to the problem of max ing and baking good, appetizing cake The uniformity and perfect appear yance of Stones Cake reflect the thor ,ough knowledge of the art and the careful attention to details in the pre- paration of them.
 The Stone Baking company, aslde from the small package of cake which sells at lJ ceulS, or lWo lOi -" NS--N0' are also putting up a larger cake in a pound package, likewise two-pound package The one and two-pound packages have their advantage Tor larger families, also for special occa- ssions. Ask your grocer to order for lyou a one or two-pound Silver or Gold cake, cut that cake in half and Ill II with strawberries. You will find what we claim to be the most delicious de- xert that you have ever tasted.

WANTS FIRE FUND
Freas Would Create a 100000
spot" for State Use.
Use Money To Replace Build
ings Destroyed. by Fire.

Freas of Lane county today intro
duced in the house q bill to create an
emergency fund of 100000 for the
rebuilding or repair of state buildings
destroyed or damaged by fire or storm.
AT this time the has no fund for
such work. Neither does the state
carry insurance on it's property.
Under the Freas bill the state
would have a fund sufficient to meet
any ordinary emergency demand. 1t
would be used only where need of
immediate construction was apparent.
Such expenditures might be replen-
ished by succeeding legislatures.
In the last ten years the state has
suffered a number of heavy losses
from fire. Two big fires at the state
prison at Lansing tied up the prison
plant for a number of weeks. A big
fire at the Pittsburg State normal and
at the Winfield State hospital also
handicapped work because there was
no fund for the repair or reconstruc-
ton of the buildings. In several in
stances state officials have found it
necessary to personally sign notes at
the bank that money might be pro-
vided for emergency work.
No insurance on state buildings has
been carried. The state executive
council figured that premiums were
more expensive than the annual
losses from fire and storm. Without
insurance or an emergency fund. Kan
sas has repeatedly met prepleXing
problems when public buildings have
burned or have been hit by storm.
