Retrieving Barbed Wire.

The problem of retrieving the buried
and broken barbed wire ON the bat
tlehelds of Flanders and northern
France is being tackled by the British
war office salvage committee, and n
machine for the purpose has been M
vented and built which Is thus de-
scrlbed:
One truck and trailer carries the
whole Of the plant, which can work
on the most uneven ground. A stout
wire rope with n number of hooks Is
worked by winch. As the barbed
wire is drawn up II passes through
two sets Of rollers, and the salved met
nj appears in blocks from one foot to
10 inches square, and weighing from
20 to 80 pounds. For smelling II sells
for about $25 ton. The staff In
charge of the scheme thinks that there
are 100000 tons that can be removed,
and II that Is the aggregate weight the
cost Of the 40 outfits said to have been
ordered shuold be amply justified

The Gardeners, company.

The City Of London is tremendously
jealous Of It's institutions and tradl-
tlons. Such an attitude Is, indeed. In
itself traditional and 50, year by year,
from the lord mayors show to the
Splttal sermon. each ceremony. small
or great, Is duly observed. Thus, the
other day, Sin conformity with ancient
usage" the master, the wnrdens and
the clerk of the Gardeners company
duly waited upon my lord mayor ut
the Mansion house, and presented him
with specimens of flowers, vegetables,
and herbs In remembrance Of the long
association of the guild with the City.
And my lord mayor was very gracious,
as lord mayors, no doubt, have been
for the last 300 years and more, and
the master and the wnrdens and the
clerk were duly rcverent, and duly
courteous, too. MS on behalf Of the guild
they presented to my lord mayors
lady" bouquet Of orchids.

Betty never forgot the first time she
saw Roland. He was sitting up In bed,
playing cards with his doctor and
couple Of friends from Harvard. His
hair was towsled, a half-flnished box
of cigarettes stood on the stand beside
him, and over his shoulders was
thrown dressing gown of tawny yell
low silk that made his tanned skin
and black eyes seem darker than ever.

Doc" he said in an undertone that
she caught. Gee, I've had enough Of
mollycoddling from mother"
Betty's lips set in a close, belliger-

in her patients eyes, but at DIR. Allan's
laughing face.
"Ifs all my fault, Rolly," he said.
