In the postal service overseas during

hensive view of the postal problems
attending military operations during
the war.
ROY E. REYNOLDS
Connecting the two postoffices in
the city of Bordeaux a sign was print
ed that expresses the spirit of the
whole postal establishment-'Ne
snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of
night stay these carriers from the
swift completion of their appointed
rounds On entering the Pennsyl-
vania terminal in New York one is
awed by the magnitude of this one
place for distribution of mail
During the war our domestic post
office department was under a fear
full strain of increased business, new
problems were to be solved over
night if by such quick decisions any
benefit to dispatch of mails was to be
had. Under that grand old gentle
man John Clark of the Fifth district
mail division the service was intrust-
ed by the second assistant postmaster
general.
Finds Little Encouragement.
On his arrival in France little could
he see that was encouraging or hope
full. War clouds black with four
years of carnage, left him with a few
men to start that mail service that
was destined to be so large, as $780,.
600 men with mail coming and going
on most every ship leaving either
shore.
To say that the spirit of the A. E.
F. was with our postal men was more
than once attested to by our command
ing general, John Pershing, through
his staff officer in direct command
at our several postoffices. The great
effort was not at the port of entry
but at Paris, the heart of the French
sAailroad system. The front line of the
allies was stationary in June, 1918, al
though great pressure from the Boche
was made along several fronts. With
American divisions with the British
on their front, every training camp
from England down to Italy to be
taken care of with mail, new training
camps established every day or week,
perhaps, few realize the effort it took
to scheme" mail secretely to let no
one know where our troops were I'M
loading, or the number and quality of
the same.
Paris Full OF Spies.
Paris was full of spies and our
army was almost unknown by Paris
till they were ready to strike. On the
day we had million men in France,
a French officer stated he did not
think we had over 100000 men in his
country. Every two days new
scheme book of organization was
made at central headquarters, chang
ing the personnel of whole companies,
the like of which was unexpected and
veXatious.
Leaving Paris with a victory in
sight about Nov. l, go with the mail
man to Bordeaux, the most friendly
city to Americans in France. Why?
! know not, but they were very pa
tient with us in our work at this river
and seaport town. The first unit to
arrive in Bordeaux was hospital unit
from Massachusetts, in July 1917.
From that time until the last Amer
lean left for home they were excep-
tionally careful TO keep out of the
way of the hasty Americans.

These spots are hard to get off, but
treatment with raw oil, applied with
plenty of elbow grease, will come as
near turning the trick as anything.
Cause of Knocking.
In motors with detachable -ylinder
heads great care should be taken to
see that the gasket used to pack the
Joint does not project into the combus-
ton chamber. When this occurs the
gasket is likely to become incandes-
cent, causing preignltion knocks and
even back-tiring in the carburetor.
Homemade Cement.
-Four parts of iron filings, two of
lime and fifth part Of common salt
mixed to a paste with vinegar make
an excellent cement for spark plugs,
for connecting pipes, etc. When care
fully mixed this cement will stand
compression and heat and can be air
dried.

ticed here at home by having a green
hand set an incubator, says writer in
an exchange. He reads the directions,
maybe thinks he has learned them
by heart, sets his regulator as soon
as the thermometer gets to 1O3, turns
the thumb screw where he supposes
is right, and places the eggs in the
machine.
Now, the thumb screw and regulator
is a very tender affair, and one turn
of the thumb screw will cause a change
in the atmosphere inside the incuba-
tor of three to four degrees. 1t should
be turned slightly, about one-fourth Of
the way round, 80 the temperature
stands just at 103.
A great mistake is made by paying
too much attention to an incubator.
l never see to my machine more than
twice a day~ once in the morning and
once in the evening. / see that the
regulator Is set properly and every
thing running nicely before putting
in the eggs, and then place the eggs
in it and do not touch the regulator.
At first 1t will lower the temperature
little when the eggs are put In
but If the regulator is properly set,
the temperature will rise to the prop
er degree.

POOR MATCHES IN INCUBATOR
carelessness in Manipulation of Ma
chine Is Sure to Bring Dis
astrous Results.

Many causes for poor matches Of
chicks in incubators can be traced to
the operators not educating themselves
on what is necessary in the way of
fertile eggs, saving eggs for incuba
ton and taking care of them. Eggs
for incubation should be kept in
well ventilated room with medium tenn
perature. All eggs should be turned
at least once every "a hours, and no
eggs should be over ten days or two
weeks old at the outside.
One should be careful TO strictly fol-
low the directions accompanying the
incubator. The directions for one
make of machine do not always do
for that of another make, for the
ventilation, regulation, ETC., may be
different
The principal reason why young
chicks die in the shell about the
eighteenth day is poorly ventilated
room.
Other causes than poorly ventilated
rooms are poorly ventilated incubators,
and eggs are not properly fertilized.
An egg poorly fortified will start to
grow and die for lack of vitality.
Opening up the incubator during the
latter part of the hatch, or about
the time the chicks begin to pip, lets
out the moisture and dries the chicken
up in the shell, or, In other words,
StODS the DOreS of the shell and causes
great many to die. Under no con-
dition should the incubator be opened
after the eighteenth day until the
chicks are entirely Matched.
AS rule, beginners with incubators
do not read the book of directions
properly. Many person who has
seen an incubator, and probably run a
hatch Of some other make thinks he
knows all about it, does not read
the directions and makes a fiat fail
ure every time. Sometimes no consid-
GRAFTON is given to the ventilation of
the room in which the machine is
placed. Possibly there may be de-
cayed vegetables therein, or the air
Is stale.
There are few failures nowadays by
poorly regulated incubatOrs, except
in the cheaper line of machines where
the temperature will change 10, II

that would require quick work to pre-

DRAINAGE FOR CRANK CASE
Accumulation of Grit, Particles of Car

With OIL.

All new cars and those which have
been run few hundred miles should
have the cylinder oil drained from the
crank case. 1t is good economy to
have this oil drained after the first 800
miles, on account of the accumulation
of grit, particles of carbon and dirt

Enforcement of Rule Not Only Pro-

The traffic rule requiring cars to

not merely to protect pedestrians, but
is for your benefit as well. Turning
corners at high speed strains the tires,
