Whee-ee-eel Zing Bangl There |
was right In the middle OF II. ! thought
the whole world was like that. and I'm
free TO confess the first impression was
anything but favorable. Those Yep
pelins and their bombs were awfully
annoying; they made me nervous. Fur
thermore, cellar is no place In which
to be born. II gives one such a wrong
idea Of home. OF course, |. know now
It was the best place for safety, but
then ] didn't have my present view
point. That was about five years ago.
Yes, my entrance was quite dramatic.
You see. l came just n. the wrong time.
They were expecting the roof to fall in
ut any minute and the atmosphere was
rather strained. II wasn't at all the
sort of welcome a new member OF a
family expects.
But, after all. hadn't much reason
TO complain. AS soon as the Germans
took our town they stopped destroying
houses because they wanted to keep
the city in good condition to live In
after they had won the war. (I sup
pose they are sorry now.) Even at that
they weren't pleasant people to have
around. ! was asleep when they first
came to our house. I'd heard bang
ing outside, but didn't think anything
of II and went on sleeping. All of n sud
den some one picked me up and he was
anything but gentle. ] didn't like 1t
and didn't like him. and said so In
very plain and forceful language. My
lungs and vocal cords were simply
worn out afterward. | surely was re-
lieved when my sister took me away
from him-and | guess he was. too.
But that was just the beginning.
When | saw another man In one OF
those rat-colored costumes pull the
mattress off my crib and take out its
wool stuffing was mad clear through.
And then I looked around and saw
they were doing the same thing to my
mothers bed. They took most Of the
blankets, too. But what could we do?
My father wasn't there. because he had
gone somewhere else to fight and |
was the only man In the house. had
tried kicking that German when he
first picked me up and ! realized he
was too big for me to handle.
We hoped that one raid would be
the end of 1t. but it wasn't. Well. to

PILE OF NEWSPAPERS
OF MUCH ASSISTANCE
Worked Under Wheels, They Help
Motorist Out OF Mud.
Method OF Handling Difficult Situation
So Simple and So Uniformly Sue
eessful That Every Driver
Should Know Of It.

From motorist who lives in sec
tion where mud roads are common
comes suggestion which is author
guarantees as the best remedy for such
a situation short OF pair of husky
mules. He states that he has tried the
method on numerous occasions, and
that IT has never failed to work. lie
says:
Il always have stored away some
where In my car stack OF old news
papers They don't take UP so much
room but that can always find place
for them. When strike mudhole
and the wheels begin to fly around In
that exasperatlng way which tells me
that ] am firmly and definitely stuck,
! get out my bundle of papers.
Taking newspaper fold II in
half horizontal across the page and
proceed to the task of working the
paper between the tire and the mud.
This Is n simple matter, and is accom-
plished by feeding the paper while the
wheels are being revoved feed the
paper I'm lengthwise. Usually only a
few will have been worked In when
the tires will begin to grip and the
car start forward. II few won't
do the work, keep on feeding in the
papers until good trac on is gained.
"This method Of handling difficult
situation is so simple and so uniform
ly successful that every motorist should
know It. If he is not equipped with
some other apparatus for such con.
tingency, he should always have n
little pile OF newspapers stored away
In some empty place in his car.
"In many localities 1t might be pos
sibe for motorist to get old news
papers from neighboring houses; but
when the mlshap occurs in some lonely
spot, lucky is the man who has some
newspapers In his machine"

ROAD /.
BUILDING
DIRT ROADS CARE IN SPRING
Proper Drainage Is Chief Essential In
Maintenanee--Road Drag Is
Especially Useful.

The cardinal essential In spring
maintenance of earth roads. especially
those on heavy soils. Is good drainage.
So long as the water can be kept
from penetrating deeply into these
roads they will remain at least fairly
pnssnble. To accomplish this on aver
age earth roads, however. Is far from
easy. During the early part Of this
season OF the year rnlns are often OF
long duration and tend to snturnte the
soil. Water from melting SHOWS Is
perhaps even more penetrating than
long-contlnued rains. while alternate
freezing and thawing of the wet sur
face tends 10 increase the poroslty of
the soil and permit even more ready
access OF water into the foundation.
The chief attention Of the road man
must therefore he directed toward
getting and keeping the water away
from the road. So long ms the founda-
tion can be kept dry, even heavy
freeze followed by rapid thaw will
do little or no real damage to the rond
surface. A dry soil does not heave.
The foundation will therefore still he
solid. and the road viii be able to
sustain the traffic without serious rut-
ting. On the other hand saturated
soil expands greatly on freezing. and
when II thnws out has not only lost
practically all power OF sustaining the
weight of traffic, but also Is in an idepl
condition for taking up or absorbing
still more water, and thus forming
still more mud.
During the early part of the season,
as long as the weather Is very rainy
or there is melting snow on the ground
II will pay to have the road man go
over the road daily to see that the
drains and side bitches do not become
clogged and to note the need OF amy
necessary repairs. A few minutes
work with shovel may prevent a Sc
rlous washout or damages. which, II
not promptly checked. might make the
rond practically impossible.
The road drag or some other similar
device finds its greatest usefulness
during this season. II may be used
to good advantage TO clenr the road
way of slush and melting snow and sc
prevent this water from soaking into

the crown of the road. the dra Is un-
excelled when In the hands OF a
skilled operator. An unskilled mnn
may do more harm than good. Fur
thermore. the actual condition of thu
road during this period Will depend
very largely on the knowledge Of he
road man as to just when to drag NJ

implement.
In addition to the maintenance. pro
vision should he made for doing nj

solidated before the dry weather Of

] won't bother you with all the de
tails OF those four years. They were
mostly a monotony of nothing to eat
and nothing to wear. Everybody felt
sorry for me because ! was so young.
When the srmistice was signed. we
just went crazy here. The first Belgian
soldier who rode into town was car
ried about on peoples shoulders till
the poor fellow was worn out. We
were terribly anxious TO get rid OF
the Germans and. because they didn't
leave fast enough to suit us. everyone
wore little pins like brooms to show
them we were going to sweep them
out, II they didn't hurry.
Suddenly my father came home. I
heard my mother call his name and
all the family ran into the hall where
he was and everyone began to cry and
