SNAIL FARMING IS
 URGED IN U. S.

One form Of shell food with definite possibilities for development in this country is the snail-the savory escar- got of France, long an international joke. like frog legs, but seldom failing to make it's way with the epicure when fresh and properly prepared. The de- partment of agriculture considers snails important enough to issue a bull letin on snail farming. There is all ready q great demand from our foreign born population, which would undOubt- edly be increased if snails were culti- vated here. Any back yard is biz enough for a small farm. A plot 25 to 90 feet square will accommodate 10000 snails. fed on leaves. cabbages, lettuce endive. chopped kohl rabi. dandelion leaves, or potatoes. On larger plots. snails will thrive on wild plants. Snails will not leave their farm if they have sufficient food and reasonable range. and do not need to be fenced in. A female will lay. from 50 to 60 eggs in June and July. and in 70 days the baby snails will be matched out and attain marble size by cold weather, They spend the winter buried in the ground, comin- out in spring and feed
 ing all summer beinpl ready for market by the following autumn.

Bullets Didn't lFeaze Cadillac
 Car iM France

Major w. p. Wattles, in command of the Fifty-thir Telegraph battal-
 ion. A. l.. F., and formerly of the Bell Telephone company of Penn sylVania, has recorded one of the most interesting Cadillac stories of the war. His description is as fol- Jews;
 "A few days ago 1 had rather a close shave but over here one real izes that miss is as good as few feet. 1 had gone out to inspect some telephone lines. Arriving at little town. l stepped my car alongside of a stone wall, where 1t would not be too visible from above. sat for a few minutes looking over the country through my field glasses. as the Boehes were smelling town about three quarters of mile away. The chauffeur and ! got out of the car and decided to walk oovn the road where l could get a better view Of the line.
 "When | had gene about 75 yards the Boches threw over my head about ten shells. which exploded in the town behind me. Oh, yes, was flat on the ground, waiting for the burst of anger to subside-followin out the saying that he who Hops without delay may live to flop an other day
 When 1 got back to my car | found that one of the shells had exploded alongside it, tearing four-foot hole in the wall, hurling about two bushels of rock into the car, and riddling sSs body of the car with 115 clean holes, not inolud- ing numerous dents. Some shell fragments had gone through the metal. the upholstery, and out through the other side. The wind shield was smashed, the top, which was folded, was literally riddled, ard there were seven punetures in enc tire and four in another.
 "The only mechanical damage to the engine was a small hole in the water jacket (which we plugged with a piece of wood) and small leak in the pipe line to the oil gauge.
 'I am still using the car and it exeites considerable curiosity; ev- eryone wants to know just what became of the occupants when it happened. | am only too we'll pleased to tell them that l was not in 1t at the tire.'

SAN FRANCISCO AUTO SHOW VAS
 GREAT FEATURE
By JOS. THALHEIMER, JR.

By JOS. THALHEIMER, JR.
 That the end of the war has given great impetus to automo- bile design is amply attested by the number of new models on ex- hibition at the San Francisco auto show, recently held in the Munich pal auditorium. Many new and pleasing models were on exhibi- ton here, the tendency being to the ultra st eamlIke or aeropiane ef- feet, the gh, square hood, and the low seating arrangements.
 The Cadillac had the largest num- Der of models on display. Every model was represented in their exhibit, from the stately lsundelet to the two passenger roadster. There has, however, been practi- cslly no change in the new Cadil- lac models.
 The new wine eolored Cunning ham. built for hard usage as a touring car, was one of the most admired cars in the show. The stsunch, square body, the double trunk and suitcase racks, the air tunnels, and other features at trscted a great amount of com ment.
 In the way of novelties, the Cole Aero eight exhibition probably attracted more attention than any of the other machines. A large town car, covered entirely in weather proof gray leather was the feature Of their display. The extreme aedoplsne design of the &I. ate comment.
 The Packard featured number of closed cars, most of the bodies being custom built. Many of the smaller refinements with which these cars were supplied indicated the good taste of their designers.
 The kissel and Apperson cars have both forsaken their old body designs to take up the more radi- cal stream lines. The Apperson company still manufactures its old car, but has added an attractive line of Anniversary models.
 The Msrmon, Buick and Pack ard companies exhibited Liberty motors turned out by their con cerns for the government. The hdFHlOn SnO"cu tHe lnteESHdN9c- ability of the parts of these mo tors by exhibiting the same eylin- der units being used for six and twelve cylinder motors.
 Featured in the Winton display was a touring car, the hood of which was finished in white while the body was nickel plated. Al though essentially a show car, its beauty attracted many.
 The Essex, a new machine on the market, was seen for the first time at the show. Although the quality of its performance must be shown by time, 1t IS certainly the Tight quality car" in appear ance at least.
 The basement of the auditorium was devoted to an exhibition of trucks, while the second floor was given over to an accessory display.
