Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, January 29.-Frenchmen
who hear what foreign newspapers
say of them feel hurt at times. They
know that they have been attacked
and that their territory has been
invaded and devastated for hundreds
of miles by the same race of people
that has been invading the same
frontier dozens OF times in the past
thousand years. This time the French
have had TO endure the first and chief
brunt of war four years and a hun
dred days. One able-bpdied nan out
of every thirty men, women and chill
dren of their population has been
killed outright; as many more have
been disabled through wounds or
sickness. and the very women, chill
dren and old men at the rear have
been overworked. while those of the
invaded front have been outraged and
deported into slavery and worse.
Foreigners may forget: Frenchmen
cannot forget The overmastering
feeling that has been burned into
their consciousness and memory is,
first of aIl-Germans must not again
invade France.

Chicken Fighting
Chicken fighting is another brutaIs
sport In Juarez and men will go about
carrying ROSTERS to which spurs have
been tied seeking matches and when
one is found there is blood and bets.
for while the chickens often fight TO
death the men bet every cent they
have, although their families may be
starving. Unfortunately betting on
chicken fights Is not confined to A1exi-
cans as the writer has seen many
Americans In the game.
Fine Race Track
The great race rae at Juarez Is
known throughout the world and witt
Its massive grandstand n wonderful
track it Is really a splendid setting for
this king OF sports" 1t is conducted
solely by American money and during
the racing season street cars run direct
from FL Paso to the track thus doins
away with the customs formalities.
Some Of the most famous horses II
the world have made records there
and the sporting fraternity and the
men W ho really own good horses have
rubbed shoulders there. OF course
the race track people stay in Fl Paso
for there Is no fit place to stay II

during the season.

Parts Are Built Up"
Most of the parts OF an aeroplane
are Of built-up or laminated wood in
which thin layers are glued together
to form the part needed. This has
, many advantages. In the first place,
the smaller the pieces OF wood that
are employed the more likely they are
to be free from defects. Further. the
lamination divides the stresses and pre-
vents them from coming in full force
on any one grain. It is. IN the whole,
another exemplihcation OF the old
adage that IN AMOR there Is strength.
Another advantage is that Illuminated
stock can BE- built 10 form curves. or
can be bent TO a curve without split
ting or weakening the piece.
