Sites of Probably One Hundred VIII
lagos In France Too Dangerous
to Use Again.

Fifteen villages In the Aisne dis
trict, destroyed by war, will never De
rebuilt. There are II towns In the
Marine district which will be aban-
doned, and probably 100 In all OK
France. For many years, at least, the
soil on which the villages stood VIII
not even be TILED. 1t will become q
permanent No Mans land.
According to government advices,
the sites Of these villages are too dam
gerous to be used again. In order TO
avoid loss of life the government has
purchased the land on which the VII
lagos stood and will keep possession
of it until 1t can be made safe.
These sites are the ones often fought
over, on which the ground has been
turned over and over again, burying
explosives Of all kinds to unknown
depths. There Is no trace Of buildings
left in the Is villages, so the refugees
faced more than the usual hardships.
They returned, however, and lived In
the worst mhkesbfft caves and dug
outs.
Only signs maintained by the gov
eminent will mark the sites OF the VII
lagos, warning people of the lurking
dangers. Stars and Stripes.

BEDSTEADS THAT SAVE SPACE
Three Story Sleeping Places Arc the
Latest Idea to Be Placed
on the Market.

Two-story beds, that is to say, bed
steads containing two beds placed one
above the other, have been in use for
years, but something rather novel In
this line is the three-story bed, con-
tanning three beds, one above another,
which was placed upon the market not
so long ago.
These bedsteads, which are made
entirely Of iron, are so constructed
that they can be knocked down to oc-
cupy comparatively small space for
convenience In handling In shipment
and transportation, the three-story
bed separating into five parts, the head
and foot sections and the three BEDS
each bed section having a wire mat
tress permanently attached to the side
and end pieces.
AT the ends of each mattress frame
are pins that fit into slots placed at
suitable heights up the head and foot
pieces. To set up a two or three-story
bed one simply stands up the head and
foot pieces and drops the pins on the
mattress frames into the slots and
there is the bedstead with Its wire
springs In each tier ready to receive
the mattresses.
Bedsteads Of this sort are intended
Tor camps, apartments, steamers or
wherever the floor space Is limited.

RELY TOO MUCH ON MACHINES
Writer Laments the Lack Of Personal
Responsibility Discernible Among
the Worlds Workavs'

Writing In the Scientific Monthly on
the value of handicraft In the re-edu-
cation of wounded soldiers, Capt.
Frank A. Waugh of the sanitary corps,
U. S. A.. says:
at Is great defect Of modern So
ciety that II depends too much on ma
chinery. Everything we touch Is ma
chine-made. The common laborer In
particular hardly ever sees or touches
anything but machne-made objects.
He begins life In a machine-made go
cart, eats canned food from machine
made table with stamped-steel knife,
fork and spoon, dies In the hospital
in a machlne-made bed, Is buried with
a machine-made coffin and marked
with machine-made tombstone. When
such a man once makes with his own
hands good basket or leather pocket
book he begins to realize the value
Of honest craftmanship-the place OF
personal responsibility In the days
labor. This Is q most Fundamental
element In human psychology now
largely lost In mechanical world
where objects are made by machines,
not by men. The men only feed the
machines and are themselves con-
trolled by another social machine
called labor union"

Chinese Silk Trade.

The American demand for silk In
China has greatly increased in the last
few years until at the present time
about 20 per cent of the Chinese silk
Is sent to the United States. This is
the result of American enterprise more
than that of the Chinese. The Japa-
nese silks had been in favor for long
time with the manufacturers of this
country, but 1t was we'll understood
that the quality of the Chinese was
superior, but it was not adapted for
use in this country because of the
manner in which 1t was woven. An
American manufacturer secured a

nese methods of manufacture, and as
result the Cinnamon were induced to
change theirs to system to conform
with the demands of the occidental
customers, and the industry has &C
cordlngly taken a great jump.

TOKEN OF THEIR GOOD WILL
Soviet Government Made Present of
Entire Train to Americans Whom
They Expelled.

When the soviet government took
control In the Urals, writes French
Strother In the Worlds Work, the
workmen at Kyshtim organized their
soviet. They waited on the American
staff at the mines and said they were
sorry, but new day had dawned In
which the workers would be able to
own and operate everything them
selves. Respectfully, because they
liked them, they would have to send
their American friends away. The day
Of their departure arrived and the
wOrkmen and their wives and children
escorted the staff, as guard of honor,
to a special train which they had pro-
vlded to take them away from Kysh-
tim. The train was decked with flags
and loaded with flowers and delicacles
Just as 1t was about to pull out, amid
the friendly shouts Of the newly en-
throned proletariat, the leader Of the
soviet in great excitement called the
senior American back to the platform.
II, almost forgot to tell you," he
gasped. 1.-THE special train-dOn't
bother to send it back; it also is q
present from the soviet to our good
friends the Americans"

government for permission to estab-
fish a regular passenger and mail
service by alrplane between Copen-

The shortest and most used passen-

is by way of train to Gjedser, Den

present practically all of the Scandi-

1t will operate In cooperation with a

The diamond drill Is a decidedly ex-

eight stones in each bit or drill point,
and falr-szed stones, Of from three to
four carats each are more satisfactory

small ones. AS the carbon Is worth
