PECULIAR WAYIN
WHICH GRAB GROWS

The crabs equivalent to the internal
bones of animals is its tough outer
shell, which does not grow The baby
crab is forced to get rid of this tough
combining prison. So 1t breaks itself
loose internally and then splits its old
protecting home across the extreme
back ridge, creeping out in that way.
II Is 4 very delicate operation to with
draw the terrible claws and other
limbs, as these are bigger at the ex-
treme end. but these curious creatures
have the power of withdrawing the
blood into the body. and this greatly
reduce the bulk of the appendages.
When the crab has thus escaped from
his old she'll. he is quite safe and forms
dainty meal for his enemies: his
pincers, too. are useless. So while
his new outer shell is hardening. he
has to hide in some Granny in the
rocks. This new shell would obvious
ly be the same size A. Cor even q
tribe smaller than) the old X the
crab merely kept quiet, as he Is quite
unable to grow when once the shell
has kHrdAned. To overcome this din >
GUILTY he sw ellis himself out by absorb
ing as much water as possible, and
renasins in this artifcially distended
condition till the new shell hardens;
then he at once gets rid Of the useful
water and leaves himself plenty OF
room for growth. The young crab
changes its shell in this way about
twenty times during the first three
years of its iife-Detroit News.

The Boy Has Come Home!

The Boy has come home! And the
door stands wide.
And the old house shakes to his
hobnailed stride.
And he old farm smiles from side
to side,
FOR the Boy back home at last
Home from the broken homes Of
France,
From the ravaged fields OF the Huns
The short stumps stand ashast!
The Boy has come home-and he's
home TO stay!''
And he'll never want to 60 away
Not in forever and day
From the peace OF the old home
soil;
And the mother smiles, with a heart
at rest.
Her cheek to his khaki shoulder
pressed.
And 4 glad heart beats in Dads"
worn breast
AS he turns to ~ lightened toll.
The Boy has come home. and his
hedFt Is mere.
And he's keen for the tasks Of the
full farm year.
TO SOW. and NOV. with a soul Of
cheer,
And bear the hard works brunt:
But into his eyes a look will come.
l3wift mid the workday's cheerful
hum.
She his mother sees. and watches
dumb
She knows he's back at the Front!
The Boy has come home. and his
hearts true blue.
But 1t holds, with the old, the mar
Vicious new,
And his clear eyes sweep Ger a wider
view
Than once was their utmost span:
And he thinks world-thoughs that altar
he found
He knows that the still old farm is
bound
with every farm In the worlds wide
round
Since the Boy came home--a Man.

 National minimum wage of $12.50.
 Overtime only when absolutely necessary, apart from haymaking |. time and harvest.

RED CROSS GIVES
 AID TO DESTITUTE
Serbia, Rumania. Montenegro and
 Albania Among Those Now Benefited.

Saloniki. April 25 Correspondence of The Associated Press )-To meet the great need of clothing throughout the Balkan States, the American Red Cross commission to the Balkans is sending to Serbia, Rumania, Monte negro and Albania millions of yards of cloth, thousands of sewing ma chimes, large quantities of thread, nee dies and buttons and hundreds of tons of old clothing. These things will be apportioned among the countries ac- cording to the extent of destitution. The mission is also shipping large amounts of food to various points in the Balkans which have suffered from the German occupation.
 If any one of the Balkans goes un- clad or unfed.' said Lieutenant-Co Col onel Henry w. Anderson, director of Red Cross activities in the Near East, ''it will be only because we lack the transportation facilities to reach the remote interior sections. We have gathered up millions of pieces of clothing and thousands of tons of food from every nook and corner of Flu rope and will rush them to those sec tions of the Balkan States which are m ost in need.
 We have taken over the surplus stocks of relief supplies held by the American Red Cross commission to Italy. We have also had diverted to our use. for distribution in the Balkan Peninsula, large quantities of material intended for use in France and other countries during the war. One of the principal items is condensed milk of which we are shipping more than three million cans. This doubtless will save thousands of starving chil- dren'

HIGHWAYMEN BOILED
Stanley Street Fruit Store Keeper the Near Victim of Two Masked Men Early Last Sunday Morning.

Fanstino Rossi, who conducts fruit store at 726 Stanley street, was the near victim of two highWaymen early last Sunday morning, according to the belated story he told at the police station today. According to ROssi, he closed his store at midnight, and left for his home on East Main street. AS he neared East Main street on Stanley street, a short distance north of Seymour street, he was ac- costed by two masked men. One of them showed a revolver in his face and demanded his money. There is a telegraph pole close by and with presence of mind, ROssi ran around it and headed toward East Main street.
 He began to shout for aid and his cries brought the watchman from a nearby factory. Search was made at once for the would-be ho1dup men but they made good their escape. According to Ross'S story, the men were rather small and both wore caps, and used handkerchiefs as masks A few months ago, another resident of this section was held up, and he parted with a good sized roll of money.

AMERICAN APPETITES
 AMAZE PARISIANS
Cant Become ReconciIed to Irregular Orders of Food and Amount
 That Is Wanted.

Paris, April 25 Correspondence of The Associated Press )-Cooks at the hotel where the hundreds of Ameri- cans connected with the peace con- ference are staying are amazed at the appetitieS of the americans. The American breakfast upset all calcu- lations in the French hotel accus- toned to supplying guests with rolls and coffee as an early morning meal, Wild calls for ham and eggS beef steaks, chops oatmeal and hot cakes surprised the French cooks who, after weeks of catering to the hungry Americans, have not become recon oiled to the American brca kfast menu.
 The Am erican fondness for hors d'oeuvres also caused consternation. Great dishes of beet pickle, potato salad sardines, cold slaw and other relishes served as a preliminary to the conventional French dinner, dis appear so rapidly that it has been necessary to employ many additional cooks to prepare delicacies of this sort. mericans help themselves so freely to this initial course that they fre- quently have little appetite for the soup, fish and other dishes which fol- low.
 As the hotel kitchen can draw on army supplies for it's food the Amer jeans have many deIicacies not avail able generally in Paris cafes. Ices, ice cream and pastry made with real sugar are offered to the peace dele gation. In most Paris hotels and cafes saccharine is used for such purposes, and even for sweetening coffee. The hotel where the Americans stay also has an abundance of white flour and genuine white bread. Elsewhere in Paris the bread is dark, and even pas try, when available, is made from brown flour.
