April 31.-Have just come off
guard duty and feel quite exhaust
ed. The guns are altogether too
heavy. l can think of about five
different things 1 could remove
from them without greatly decreas-
ing their utility. The first would
be the barrel. The artist who drew
the picture in the last camp paper
of Dawn appearing in the form of
a beautiful woman must have had
more luck than l have ever had. l
think he would have been closer to
the truth if he had put her in a
speeding automobile on it's way
home from a road house. 1t surely
is proof of discipline to hear the
mocking, silver-toned laughter of
women ring out in the night only
ten feet away and not drop your
gun and follow it right through the
barbed wire. After the war, | am
going to buy lots of barbed wire
and cut it up into little bits just
to relieve my feelings.
Last night l had the fright of my
life. Some one was fooling around
the fence in the darkness.
Who's there?" cried.
why, I'm Kaiser William" came
the answer in a subdued voice.

involved.
That's not such wonderful

planning tones. Il could make up
a rule better than that"
Don't try to tonight" 1 pleaded.
There was silence for a moment.
then the voice continued seriously:
Say, I'm not Kaiser William real
ly. Honest, I'm not"
We'll, who are you?" I asked
impatiently
why, I'm Tucks," the voice re-
piled. Folks call me that because

sers."

better be moving on. / don't know
what might happen with this gun.
I'm tempted to shoot the cartridge
out of it just to make it lighter"
"Oh, you can't shoot me-" cried

Slid through what seemed to her no
more than crack. AS softly the door
was closed.
For a long time she stood, dazed and
unbelieving, in the center of the room,
staring at the door. She held her
breath, listening for the shout that
was so sure to come-and the shot,
perhaps! A prayer formed on her lips
and went voicelessly up to God.
Suddenly she reused herself from
the stupefaction that held her. With
feverish haste she snatched up gar
ments from the chair on which she had
carefully placed them in anticipation
of the emergency that now presented
itself. A blouse (Which she neglected
to button), short skirt of some dark
material, jacket, and a pair of stout
walking shoes (Which she failed to
lace), completed the swift transforma-
tion. AS she glided to the window, she
jammed the pins into a small black
hat of felt. Then she peered over the
ledge.
She started back, sitting a cry with
her hand. A mans head had almost
come in contact with her own as she
leaned out. A mans hand reached
over and grasped the inner ledge Of
the easement, and then a mans face
was dimly revealed to her startled
gaze.

inside.
Then he said: "You are not dressed

WHAT BOOZE MONEY WILL BUY

We talk Of war loans in billions,
Of public improvements costing hun
dreds of millions, but very few peo-
pie except those who have been
studying the matter realize the i'm
mense sum which will be set free
for other purposes by the enactment
Of prohibition.
One man who has made a study of
dry financial possibilities in the city
Of Cleveland is authority for the
stunning news that thirsty Cleve-
landers pour s22 900, 900 down their
throats annually. This does not rep
resent the money invested in build
ings or breweries, but just that
passed over the bars for drinks.
This sum, II invented for public
service, says the lightning calculator,
would:
Pay all the expenses Of city gov
ernment for two years;
Pay the salaries Of all the teach
ers for five years;
Repave the entire city and leave
fat balance in the bank;
Pay the expenses Of the City Hos
pital for 7S years;
Light the streets for so years; or
Keep the parks in fine condition
for 110 years.

These are only a few of the useful
and constructive things which could
be done with all this money, every
cent OF which when spent for liquor
does its little quota of harm.
The cities where prohibition has
been in force for some time report
that constructive things are really
being done. Taxes are being re-
duced gradually. Bank deposits are
increasing. Expenses for public in
stitutions made necessary by the
evil effect Of drink are growing less.
