passed among the great poets.
2. Burns was supreme lover OF
nature.

Public soup kitchens were opened in kindergartens, schools, day nurseries orphanages and even the royal palace of Schonbrunn was turned over to the children's well fare workers. Since the available food supplies were not sufficient to satisfy all, no child was admitted until ex- nurse had showed an actual condition of serious undernourishment.

 thentic in every way, it was found nat about 40 goats were needed.
 Accordingly a search was immediate ly instigated for goats which might be used. A scouting expedition set cut confidently expecting that somewh gre ir New York might be found some goats which might serve to supply the lmuch-needed local color--but nowhere could a goat be found.
 MT. Levey declared that he would not permit the scenes to be filmed unless they were correct in every detail. Ac- cordingly the sets were completed, and still the search for the goats continued. | A few days ago Ben Blake. who IS di- recting this feature, on hunt for To- cation stumbled accidentally upon an open space in Portsmouth. and :nere saw a kerd of goats peacefully feeding. Upon looking about, he saw a little house and discovered that the Eoats belonged to farmer there.
 After long negotiations an arrange ment was made whereby the Harry Levey Service corporation was per- mitted to borrow the goats for few weeks and they were shipped to Long Island to lend atmosphere to the French villages of the '70s and sos and the scenes are to be made there this week

 In France, young girls are taking very enthusiastically to the idea of driving farm tractors.
 During the first six months of 1870, 1902 motorists were killed at grade cross ings in the United States The first good roads legislation in the United States was enacted in Virginia by the House of Burgesses in 1632 Eight of the noted motion picture players in California have between them passenger automobiles that cost s142,ooo In 1919 Canada produced 94,0O0 motor vehicles. It is estimated that production this year will be fully S5 ped cent greater Many states are taking action aganst the overlooking of trucks, contending it is the direct cause of damaging the high ways.
 The Bureau of Chemistry of the De- partment of Agriculture is experimenting with the manufacture of motor fuel from dried leaves.
 In India an automobile show will be held in Delhi in February of next year under the auspices of the local motor trade association
 The automobile industry in France is considered the greatest sufferer due to the presence of so many foreign-hui cars obtained from old war stocks. Denmark is reported to be an ideal land for automobiles, the roads being good the land quite flat and the country in teresting and attractive for tourists.

 By July l. 1919. of the entire Aus trian nation of 60oo. 900 people, one quarter of a million children were re- ceiving one meal day at the public kitchens.

 Consequently, the final budget for the year ending next June contains MT. Hoover's approval of the proposal to increase the number fed to 300.

TELLS HOW TO REPAIR
 CRACKED WATER JACKET

As a result of an unexpected cold snap. a water jacket may crack, due to very slight freeze. If the crack is of some length it may be rapaired by tre following method. according to the technical editor of American Motorlst.
 On the line of the fracture, drill and tap for a 2s inch threaded copper rod. This rod is screwed in firmly to a depth of about equal to the thickness of the copper rod with a hacksaw, allowing 1t to project about 1-32-inch; then ing drilled partly into the prebiousiy ing drilled partly int othe previously Inserted copper plug, so that when all .of the plugs are placed in the cylinder casting they form a continuous band of copper along the line of the fracture The copper plubs should now be peened down and trimmed off flush. The only possible chance for leakage, after hav- ing repaired the crack in this manner. is for the water to follow the joint between the metal of the jacket and the copper plugs; but as the copper rods are threaded into the castings. 1t Is not likely to occur. Should leakage take riace, little extra peening will sui flee to prevent 1t.
 Still another method involves fusins copper filings or granulated brass spelter into the crack. This has the advantage of not requiring the removal of the part to be repaired. Drill and tap a small hole at each end of the crack to prevent further extension of the weakness. and screw in an iron stud. Next clean the outside and in- side of the fracture very thoroughly using a scraper and gasoline. File ID some soft copper or brass spelter, and i'll the crack. heaping the filings over it. Then take a powerful blow lamp or torch and direct the flame on the copper. By this method fair amount of metal can be worked into the opening. After cooling, the studs

Watching to see where the engines stopped, he found they halted in front oC his own store and then he hustled back. MT. Johnston stated that he had had some difficulty in turning out the lights before leaving and sent for an electrician. They work ed for some time to fix the lights and finally got them turned out in satisfactory manner. Stakeholder cars were stored on the second floor and all of them were badly damaged. So were the sedans on the first floor although their dam age came from water and smoke for the most part.

are cut off flush and the copper filed smooth.
 In many cases the crack may be closed by making a rust joint. The first step is to drill very small hole at each end of the crack to prevent it from spreading, and to drive in O. screw in a metal plug in each hole. The crack is then filled up with paste niade of 66 per cent iron filling or iron dust and 33 per cent salammoniac in the pulverized form, with just enough water to make a mixture of proper consistency to be forced into the crack easily. The action of the salammoniac Is to rapidly oxidize the fine iron fil- ings, producing rust which joins the various iron particles together and ef- fectively seals the opening when it mas properly hardened. AS a number of prepared cements for use when cast iron breaks may be purchased at slow cost, it Is often cheaper to buy the cement than to attempt to make it.
