"DaVie" Was Lost,
But Didn't Know It

Little "Davie" Sheldon, of Cald-

he was lost Friday night when he
followed a hand organ grinder away
from his home No. 20 Cedars road,
but his mother Mrs. r. H. Joy,
knew it, and so did the neighbors.
Then the whole village knew it, and
the Boy Scouts, and Chief of Polict
Harkey. Then followed an all night
search for miles around. Word was
sent to the New York police to be
on the lookout for a little boy fol-
lowing an organ grinder.
The search brought no tidings of
the missing schild and dawn broke
without sleep coming to many weary
eyelids. Finally a neighbor happen
ed to look at what she thought was
a white bundle tucked under the
porch of the Joy homt, the bundle
moved, and there was "Davie," safe
and sound,
crawled under the porch to play and
later had heard the chief of police,
whom he knew, talking about him.
1t frightened him to be talked about
by the police, and he kept very still,
so still, that he soon dropped off to
sleep and forgot all about being
scared Now there is real joy in his
mothers home and the police and
Boy Scouts and neighbors all are
glad, and went to bed early last night
to catch ND in their sleep.

Fish Quickly Acquire :.
Appetite for DruuS

The drug habit may be acquired by
fish al well as by humans. Y. E. Shei-
for1s tells of some interesting eX-
periments in this direction. Our
quotations are from an abstract in
the Little Journal Cambridge,
Mass.) Says this papers,
HE provided a shallow tank for
them. into which water, flowed at one
end with drug in solution, and at
the other end without the drug. The
outlet was in the middle so that the
fish had complete freedom to swim
away from the drug or into it and to
select any concentration.
His first experiment was with car
bon dioxid, giving the fish a kind of
attenuated plain soda water, They
swan into it and backed away again
with .protruded lower lip and lifted
gills, but, despite what seemed like
coughing and gulping, they did not
turn away from it. Perhaps they
were practicing up against. a sporting
life to come. p. - -.
with morphine there was ne&ap-
parent objection even at. first. They
soon became sufficiently addicted to
it to swim over the inlet of the NOR
phine solution and stay there. Some
kept away from the greatest concen-
triton, while others became regular
dope fiends.
With cocaine, after a short expos
ure, they refused to leave the ,selu-
ton inlet and remained close to it
until they died from it's effects. With
ethyl or grain alcohol they soon
learned where solution of about ~
per cent was to be found and stayed
there as long as possible.
They are reported to have become
'semi-intoxicated,' but Just how
drunk a semi-intoxicated fish is We
are unable to say. A tadpole basked
cheerfuIly in 90 per cent solution
of alcohol and water which has the
killing power Of average whisky

BELGIUM TODAY--SILENT RUINS AND NOISY SPLENDOR
Factories Idle Farms Busy Sorrow Tragedy Gaiety Mnge Tour
iSts Especially Americans Greeted With Open Arms
BY HAROLD (. REcHEoL,

BRUSSELS.-BeIgiu today is a
strange land of contrasts.
There is silent ruin and noisy
splendor; energetic hustle and weary
idleness; sorrow, tragedy and bubble
gaiety, abundant food and hunger
that gnaWs.
In a dozen days, if not in a dozen
hours, 1t is possible in Belgium to
visit a dozen worlds.
You can see serene little pre-war
Belgium in the stores and offices; in
many homes; OH the farms, too, if
you don't watch too carefully for
tools, horses and chickens.
You can see gallant Belgium of
the war along the line of utter ruin
in the west; in little groups of cross
marEed graves; in bomb dugouts;
along the waterfront.
You can see Belgium of today
wars aftermath and peace-in the
too-gay cities and resorts; the still
returning refugees; the cleaning up
and the idleness; the wrecked fac
tories.
Already thousands of tourists are
flocking into Belgium through Os-
tend from England, Scandinavia and
Holland.
Belgium welcomes them. She wants
| tourists. Especially American tour
lists. She needs the tourists money,
but she has particular reason for
| wanting American tourists: It's
feeling of deep gratitude. She wants
| the American to become acquainted
with the little country he helped so
much. She'll give the American his
moneys worth.

a marvellous variety of historic war
places; where the German came In

| brugge; Spa, German H c., and the
home of the armistice commission;
all the marks of German occupation
for four long years. and 50 on.
| But the variety and contrasts do
not end there.
