If Sunday, October 13, 1918, had moi
been clear, bright day John J. Nc
Bennett, y West Sixty-ninth street
New York, just returned from France
where since last May he served as 8
Knights of Columbus secretary, would
not be living today. He admits it and
his contention is supported by Cor.
poral Bill Hale of Iowa, circulation
manager for Stars and Stripes, the Of.
fetal organ of the A. E. F. Hale, too,
has cause to remember always that
that particular day was bright and
-clear-at least In the Argonne section
of the battlefelds in France.
McBennett and Hale would certain
~ have been blown off the face Of the
earth if. keen-eyed American artil.
lery officer had not. through power.
ful field glass, happened to see the
X. C. chevron on McBennett's sleeve.
There wasn't an instant to spare, eli
ther, because four big American guns
were trained on the men and the sig.
nal only was needed to blow them to
smithereens.
How It Happened.
It happened like this. McBennett
who had been delivering supplies to
several of the Knights of Columbus
buildings at the front, returned to d.
vision headquarters near Rarecourt
Saturday night, October IL, with his
automobile out of commission. He was
wondering how he could manage to get
these cigarets and chocolates where
they would do the most good when he
happened to see Corporal Bill Hale
coming along with a camionette, deliv-
-ering a late edition Of Stars and
Stripes.
Hale agreed to help McBennett out.
They made an early start and headed
for Fleville, then started for st. Juvin,
which McBennett understood was oc.
cupied by American troops, but later
Developments proved that $50 Ger:
mans were concealed in the town and
outskirts.
Got Out to Adjust Curtains.
They kept going until they were
within Is yards of the city. They
stopped their car and decided to get
away from there at once. Hale got
out Of the car to adjust the curtains
son one side and McBennett left his
seat to arrange the shields on the
other side. They finally turned around
and they got back near Fleville.
On the way back to the lines Nc
Bennett and Hale met Father Mar
-telle, chaplain of the Three Hundred
=and Seventh engineers and Three Hun
'dren and Twenty-first field artillery
The priest told McBennett and Hale
they certainly were the luckiest men
In the world, because on the preceding
day, when they had ridden into File.
vile and started for st. Juvin. the
American troops stationed in noun
tain near there hod seen them, but
could not make ont any name or in
sigma on their car, and when they
saw them ride by these German ma
'chine-gun nests they naturally con-
cluded that they were Germans and
thus decided to mop them up. Four
guns got their range on them imme-
diately and would have received the
signal to begin firing had it not been
for the keen-eyed officer referred to.
Through his glass he happened to see
the K. C. chevron on McBennett's arm
and the order to fire was never given, j.,

and it was decided to postpone the rest of the nursing course, in so far as it should in any way interfere with the outdoor life to which the girls of this organization are accustomed when the season permits.
 It was voted that the Torch Bearers, Caroline Himmel and Ruth Fitch. and Florence Adams who stands next in line for that high de- gree, should organize the girls on the waiting list into an auxiliary group, so that they might have the advan- tage of the summer Camp Fire acti- vities.
 Those remembering Miss Marion Werner, who practically grew up with the Wangum Camp Fire through it's seven years of existence, may be interested in the following letter:
 Waterbury, Conn. March 22, 1919. Dear Guardian:
 A number of us. girls are very anxious to become Camp Fire Girls and I am writing to you in behalf of then girls, asking for your help. We asked Miss Werner to be our guard ian; but she told uS she was not old enough. She has tcld Us many in teresting things abo~t the work Of her group in Canaan and we became very interested. We have noticed that she is a Torch Bearer and we have been told by other Camp Fire Girls that very few get this honor. We and our mothers know that she is capable of taking a group. She is we'll liked and we are sure that she would make an excellent guardian. She is a girl that will keep us interested and will make us real Camp Fire Girls.
 Would you be kind enough to write to the headquarters in New York and ask their permission. We will be very disappointed if we can not have her fer our guardian. Please let US know as soon as possible what you can do for us as we are very anxious to know.
 Your very truly,

A BAD PRACTICE

With warmer weather approaching and the roads becoming more settled, the automobile traffic is constantly increasing. The increased traffic about the center of the village will earse the careful autoist to be more careful when roundin corners, but there seems to be a few who delight In making pedestrians scamper for the sidewalk when crossing the street
 There are perhaps few if any towns that do not have one or two drivers of trucks or autos, who not only take their own lives in their hands when rounding corners at a high speed, but risk those of other people as we'll Still others we have noticed recently driving on the wrong side of the "silent policeman" ar Railroad and Main streets.
 Undoubtedly no harm is meant and probably nothing would ever come Of it. yet the fact still remains that It is 9 bad practice which might re- suit in the permanent injury to some person absent-mindedly cross ing the street. It is also we'll for autoists to remember that pedes- trians. have the right-of-way on all streets.

Trunk lines are being improved and extended in every direction and yet the road to Falls Village is overlooked while its condition is gradually becoming worse. From time to time the mat ter T brought up ond commented on but nothing is done until the road be- comes settled in midsummer, and then it seems to serve the purpose.

LOCUST YEAR

This IS locust year in several parts of this and adjoining states and. as usual. many are disposed to appre- kend greater damage than will really occur, Parts of this state. and Massa- ehusetts will be subject to the Peri edical Cicada or Seventeen Year Lo- es1sts, as they are commonly known.
 The seventeen year locusts last made their appearance in the vicin fly of Meriden, where they attracted from the ground, where they, as E-rvc, l-ve passed seventeen years, apple tree worms. As their wings they somewhat resemble a species of develop and become dry they crawl or fly from tree to tree with pecu- liar buzzing sound, which when made by thousands can be heard nearly mile. The combined chorus of these locusts is not unlike that made by telephone wires on windy day.
 In commenting on this species of Iocusts, the department of agricul- tslre says:
 "So far as periodicity of out breaks is concerned, the real To- cust or grasshopper is law unto itself. The hordes may appear any year or not at all. The hordes of the "17-year locust" or periodi- cal cicada appear with regularity that would almost put to shame government clock. In spite of their extremely slow development under ground, the multiplied mil lions of individuals reach maturity and emerge almost at the same moment and exactly IT years from the date of the previous appear ance-that is, if they are of the 17-year race"
 From personal observation we know of no crops which these 4ocusts have destroyed or injured Yet they will attack shade tree ir ssach numbers as to entirely strip ii of its foliage.
