Bruoes of Today.

Mrs. b. O. Tufnell. writing in ref
erence to Bruges. says: II think IL
may be of interest to you to know that
Bruges is extraordinarily little chang
ed since the war. We were most agree
ably surprised to find our things left
behind intact and only one case had
been opened. The hotel was still welt
run and comfortable, and the food was
good, only the pre-war prices had
changed for the worse! The beautiful
old city looked much the same as be-
fore. The carlton is stlll pealing In
the belfry, and few Of the public build
ings have suffered The port has been
greatly altered, and there the signs of
war are very evident, not only in the
huge works started by the enemy, but
in the effectual destruction of them by
our airmen. The shops are open, and
the life of Bruges goes on as it did.
Only the welcome appearance Of khaki
clad men or businesslike w. A. A. C.'s
strikes a strange note in the cobbled
spaces Of the Grande Place"

One Of the Best Of American
Air Fighters.

What Lieutenant Lake famous

escaped the others by seeming him

from directly over the balloons, aud be
fore they could be lowered or protect

But then Luke disappeared, and what
became of him was not known until
after the armiStice.
When the allies entered the village
of Murvaux the rest of the story was
learned from the peasants. The Amer
ican had been forced by wounds or the
diSablement of his machine 10 descend.
but he did not land until he had used
his machine gun TO the extent of kill

were allowed to take it. uncovered, in
a cart, to their cemetery and bury it.
SO ended Frank Luke az the age Of
90. He had lived much, if not long,
and down in Phoenix, Ariz., where he
was born they are justly proud OF
him. He does not lack appreciation

Experiments on wood as part substi-

carried out in FraAce. The wood used
was sea pine in the form of bitletS cut

weight OF that of coal, and carboniza-
