SEEING PARIS
Continued from page y

back about two o'clock and as we
had to start for home at five we
spent the rest of the afternoon talk
ing with the Red Cross girls that
we knew. l guess told you In one
of my other letters about them be-
ing down to see us a few weeks
ago. / never saw such bunch of
officers as there is in Paris. A fell
low darn near breaks his arm
saluting them. l guess I saluted
about million times, and then on
my way to the station l happened
to miss one, and a military police
picked me UP and was going to take
me to headquarters, but I told him
we had to catch the five o'clock
train, so he took my name and
number and let me go. I suppose
one of these days our C. o. will get
letter and have him give us
couple of hours Saluting one of
these days. 1 believe 1 saw more
things of interest in the four days
at Paris than in all the rest of my
time in the army put together. It
is no more like the rest of the
French towns that l have seen than
one Of our own towns in the states.
Well l suppose you have started
with the springs work by this time
haven't you? l don't think there is
very much danger of me being home
to help with very much of the work
this spring by the looks of things
now. We are leaving for LeHavre a
week from Monday to take charge
of the motor pool down there. One
company they had down there is
going up to Holland or some place
up in there l think
Say We have a lot of arguments
around here about the price of
things on the farm and also on what
fellow can make by working a
place, so next time you write let me
know about what you made last
year and also the prices they are
paying around there for different
things will you, as that will settle
a lot of arguments we farmers have
around here. What is Earl c. doing
now days? Going at it as hard as
ever / suppose, haven't heard from
anyone around there in long time.
Our fellows got UP a ball team
again and are going down to play
Havre tomorrow l. suppose they
will get beaten as, usual, as they
haven't had hardly any practice.
was out with them practicing this
afternoon and my hands are so sore
tonight that can hardly write.
would like to play with them, but
I am bothered with rheumatism in
my shoulders so much that l can
hardly throw the bail at all. l am
sending bunch of books and pict-
ures home that l got in Paris and
other places that | have been
through. Keep them somewhere for
you all about them. You know it is
pretty hard to write about all the
different things. Well l guess l have
written enough for one time, so will
say good night, so write soon and
tell me all about how things are
going around there Oh yes how is
the Cherevolet getting along, or
haven't you used it lately? Did you
take the storage battery out for the
winter or not? / haven't been driv-
ing to amount to anything lately.
Have just been doing odd jobs
around, getting the trucks ready to
move. Well tell all the folks and
grandpa hello for me and don't for
get to write. AS ever
Your brother,

Unique Nation.

Costa Rica is unique among modern
nations. lnasmuch as it has more teach
ers than soldiers. The standing army
Is only 500 strong, while the teachers
In active service number about 1000.
For nearly 45 years the country has
enjoyed internal peace.

New Water Power.

A new use Of ocean water power
has been perfected hy an EngIishman.
He catches water when the tide rises
and makes it operate turbine engines
when the tide falls. Thus he obtains
a perpetual water power, as the tide
always ebbs and flows.

mere, postmaster General Albert s..
Burleson, the New York Telephone
Company, the Delaware and Atlantic
Telegraph and Telephone Company,
and the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, which operate in
New Jersey, were ordered to show
cause at 1890 o'clock next Monday

why an order should not be made by
which an injunction should issue to
restrain the postmaster general and

unuing in force an order made by

new rates.
Alfred N. Barber, a resident of New

sirable for the duration of the war

"PEEP|NG TOM"
BRINGS MYSTERY
Man Rings Door Bells and Ac-
costs Women on Street,
Police Search Futile

When Patrolmen Clooney an6
Koyen were called to 134 Paterson
street yesterday afternoon, they found
they had a mystery on their hands
which they were unable to solve.
Facts presented to them made II
appear that a combination "Peepins
Tom,' suspicious character and firt,
If not lust plain nut" had been in
that neigborhood and had created nc
little excitement during his visit
there.
They first heard from the complain
ant, who was a woman residing at
1874 Paterson street hat when she re-
turned ohme she had found a man
peering in the windows of her home.
On her approach, she said, he ran
away.
The officers then learned that the
same man had been at III Madison
avenue, around the corner, where he
had rung both doorbells of h two
families living there II when asked
what he wanted, had replied in an
unintelligible manner and had Their
left the house. He went across the
street. the women claimed, where he
accosted two young women, who be-
came frightened and hurried down the
street.
Those who saw the man said that
he wore a dark suit, a soft hat and
was without an overcoat.
A search of the neighborhood fall
ed to yield any further clues and the
man seemed to have effectively effaced
himself.
