Behind the Lines In France, Jan.

queer land now. Over the shell torn
villages and blasted woods, the pitted
fields and the ruin Of all that once
was, ID astrange quiet. The winter
sky Is lacking in airplanes and great
hocks Of crows have taken their
place.

are undertaken on a large scale.
Along the roads repaired and re-

bayonets and trench knives and pis-
tolls, mess kits overcoats, caps. an
endless catalogue of paraphernelta
are brought in. The battle zone IS
stiIl full OF 1t all, in heaps and racks,
waiting salvage.
Now and then come trains OF atr-
plane camions, burdened with dis
mantled flying machines Of every type
and every nation, engine and fusilage
and running gear on the truck and
the great wings on its specially de-
signed trailer. Some of them are un-
harmed, but many show bulles holes
through the frail fabric or the ruins
of a crash. A fair proportion Of them
bear the Maltese cross that marks
them Boche.
There are trains Of captured enemy

men. and these are happy outfits. Of

The meeting of the seth con
gress in extra session recalls the
fact that the first extra session of
the United States congress was
called by President John Adams
on May Is, 1897. The congress
was the fifth. The relations OF the
United States with France were in
a critical condition at the time, the
French government having sus-
pended diplomatic intercourse on
the ground that the Jay treaty in
relation to French West Indian
possessions was a violation of a
solemn pact Pinckney, the Amer
lean minister to France, had been
expelled from that country and the
French government had under
taken measures looking TO depre-
dations on American commerce
President Adams made numerous
recommendation to congI ess con-
corning the organization of the
militia and providing for a naval
armament and his wishes were
promptly met. The sessions closed
on July 10.

Norwich bulletin., 1919-11-19

The AutoStrop Razor is the only safety razor that sharpens itself, slaves, and cleans without removing singlep part. A touch of the thumb adjusts the blade for close, medium, or light shaving.
Norwich bulletin., 1919-11-19
Ihe real reason hat blades
 :. gro1U dull

Under a microscope, a razor edge is seen to consist of hundreds of tiny teeth. When these teeth are in alignment, the blade is sharp. But the very first shave with new blade bends these teeth out of alignment, and the blade begins to lose its edge.
 With most safety razors, there is no way to smooth the delicate teeth back into alignment. The original smooth, fine edge of the blade grows rougher with every shave.
