allies here the terrors of this war than
ut any other one spot. Here the Ger
mans held the hills to the east of the
city, and the British defenders occu-
pied the low-lying fields between the
hills and the city. For them dugouts
or deep trenches were out of the ques-
ton as the land is but little above
sea level. And here, in what is almost
a marsh, the British Tommies lay

City Of Walls Only.

not shelled by either army, and yet it
is a city that Germany should pay for.
The walls of Menin are standing, but
it is city of walls only. The floors,

BY WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.
In August, 1914, the city of Lens in
northern France was a prosperous
community of close to $4,000 people. It
was known as the Pittsburgh of
France, and its coal fields were the
one great source of supply of fuel for
the nation. Its steel and iron mills
supplied much of the material for
French railroads, shipbuilding and
other industries. Its people were in
dustrlous and thrifty, living in COM
Portable homes, surrounded by the
modest luxuries of an industrial COM
munlty.
All that is left Of Lens today is a
crumbling pile Of debris. No single
wall of the city is still standing, and
hardly piece Of wall as much as
ten feet square can be seen amid the
terrible ruins. Both the buildings
and the machinery Of its factories are
gone completely. Its coal mines are
flooded and the machinery with which
they were operated has been destroyed.
And all this because Germany start
ed war for the purpose of conquest I;
a war in which no principle other than
that of selfishness was involved. To-
day Germany is a crushed nation. Her
plans for world domination miscarried
her armies have been defeated, but
before these things happened the city
of Lens had been destroyed.

DO you YAvvN AT coNcERTs7
II SO, There Is a Reason, Which Is
Thus Explained by Modern
Song Writer.

It a person yawns during sym.
phony concert and twists his program
instead Of being absorbed in classical
music it may not be his fault. 1t may
be due to an undeveloped pituitary
body, which is located in the brain,
back of the temples.
This is according to Cyril Scott, the
song writer, in his 1.-THE Philosophy
Of Modernism In Connection With
Music" Mr.. Scott says that this pitu-
itary body is highly susceptible to mu-
steal vibrations, If normally developed.
In other words, 1t is the seat Of the
emotions. He goes further and adds
that it is the seat Of the astral or sub
limal self. This is in keeping with
the theory of the ancients that this
gland is the seat of the soul.
In commenting on Mr.. Scott's state
ment, Medicine and Surgery Magazine
says:
"At a time like this when the pitu-
itarJ body is the. paramount topic of
conversation in medical circles on &C.
count Of its influence on our under
weight or overweight, Cyril SCOTS
message in regard to its attitude to.
ward music should give us pause. The
faulty pituitary body can be corrected,
no doubt, by treatment; made super.
sensitive and vibrant; thus a person
indifferent to music may become highly
appreciative to it."

in an effort to rescue from 1t some one
thing, some memento Of that home they
had loved as much, or even more than
we Americans love our homes. saw
the tears on the cheeks of many as
they toiled. saw an old woman car
rying away. as the only thing she
could find, piece Of broken chair,
and thought, who shall pay for this
devastation, this misery?
There Is But One Answer. j
Are the broken, homeless people of
Lens to pay? Are the people of France
to pay? Are the people of England or
America or Belgium tC pay? Or are
the Germans to pay?
To be sure, the city of Lens was de-
stroyed by shells fired largely from
British guns. But they were fired into
the city because the invading Ger
mans in the city must be driven
out that not only France, but the
world, might be freed of the menace
Of German domination; and the debris
that once was Lens stands today as
striking monument to German greed
and to the accuracy and efficiency of
British artillery.
Gould the people Of America have
seen the people searching those ruins
as I saw them; could they have seen
the tears as saw them they would
have said, as said, Germany must
pay, and she must continue to pay
until this fair city and many, many
others like it, have been restored {;
until these people and their descend
ants are again the happy, prosperous,
contented people they were before the
hell of German wantonness and selfish,
ness was let loose in 1914.
What happened in Lens has hap
pened in many other cities and towns
in France, in Belgium, in Italy. in
Serbia, in Roumania, in Poland, and
for all Of them Germany and her al
lies should pay, and pay, and pay.
Cruel Fate Of Ypres.
Another example of the hellishness
Of this German war of conquest is seen
In what was once the beautiful and
historic city Of Ypres, in Belgium.
This town is today but one mass Of
ruins. Its wonderful Cloth Hall and
st. Martins church, both considered
among.the marvels Of Europe and both
dating back to the thirteenth century,
are gone. never to be restored. There
is no way by which the Germans can
give back to the world these beauti-
eul monuments Of past centuries, but

the cathedral, and day after day. week
after week and month after month
they continued to pour rain of metal
upon this beautiful old church until
today 1t is nothing but mass of pow
dered stone. Germany cannot give
back that cathedral of Arras, but she
can pay and should pay for the need
less, senseless destruction.
And the fair cities and towns that
have been so ruthlessly destroyed are
but incidents in the devastation caused
by this war, and for all Of which Ger
many and her allies, and they alone,
are responsible, and for all Of which
they should pay.

Returning home after a long ride,
the first thing you should do is to re-
move the dust. During the entire trip
the carburetor has been drawing dust
laden air into the hot-air tube. Clean
1t out and keep it clean.
When you fill the tank, strain the
gasoline. The man at the gasoline
station may tell you that it isn't nee
essary, but strain 1t just the same.
Clean the vacuum tank strainer and
examine the pipes to see If they are
being chafed by rubbing on the

the car. Some carburetors are so
placed that there is danger of filling
them with water.
Perhaps you would like to know
how all this attention to detail can

rear axle. What causes rear axle to
break? For one thing, it is bad for
the rear axle and for everything else

the clutch suddenly in an effort to get
out of mudhole or snow bank.
Don't neglect the clutch 1t can be
kept soft and smooth in operation
without slipping, and then, when you
engage it, there will be no sudden
shock. Save the car all you can from
jolts and jars by using the brakes.
Universal joints fairly cry for

the warning at once, it is too late to
save them, for they are worn and
will ever after rattle. Invest in a
creeper or hunt up some old clothes

isn't necessary to do it very often, but
it is a great deal better to explore
the under part of the car at your
leisure in the garage than under COM
