face had been badly burned and none
of the hair on the head had been burn
ed. A cap found few feet from the
body indicated that the head had had
it's protection until the clothing had
been burned The coroners jury
views the case as one of pure acct
dent, and believes that Ratzlaff dozed
off while sitting on the straw. and the
fire from his pipe ignited the straw.

Maxim Gorky.

MAXIM Gorky," who was reported
to be on his way to England on a
visit to ii. @. Wells. but is still held
up by the Bolshevist authorities on
the frontier, Is Alexel Pyeshkof. the
poet and chronicler of the parlahs

says Living Age.
"Gorky" means bitter" The full
name. Maxim Gorky." may, perhaps,
be read to mean "the bitterest of the
bitter" The pseudonym effectively
symbolizes Pyeshkofs attitude toward
life, for his fiction is he distilled es-
sence Of the disappointed.
He was not at first a Bolshevik,
and he seems only to have Joined the
Bolsheyist ranks under pressure.
Given his choice between low diet
and high Office, he preferred the lat

not require him to take active part

BOOKS FOR DISABLED HEROES
Congress Appropriates 100000 for
Reading Material for Soldiers
Confined to Hospitals.

Disabled heroes Of the World war
are not to be without good books to
read while they are fighting to regain
health in the hospitals Of this cOun-
try. Congress has appropriated in the
civil sundry bill the sum Of 100000
for the purchase OF books, with the
result that each OF the 1900 disabled
veterans will soon have three or four
new books to read.
The American Library association,
which still has charge of the libraries
In the larger hospitals. has been em'
barrassed by a shortage Of funds, and
up to this time posts Of the American
Legion have taken over the duty Of
supplying books to the disabled In
hundreds of the smaller hospitals. The
appropriation by congress does not
mean that either the services Of the
American Library association or the
American Legion In this respect are to
be dispensed with, but that they are
to be greatly augmented and rein
forced.

LEAVES OF SPRINGS
REQUIRE ATTENTION
Without Lubrication They Soon
Become Rusty.
Dirt, Mud and Other Foreign Matter
Can Be Excluded by Use Of Boo0
or covers-Good Leather Sub
stitute 10 Best.

The leaves of an automobile spring
are intended to slide upon one an
other when the car is In motion. Many
car owners allow the springs to get
dirty, to go without fabrication and
to become very rusty. The leaves be-
come so dirty that. instead of sliding
on each other. they work almost as If
they were one solid piece of steel.
Then. when the car strikes a hole or
a bump In the road the springs are
compressed and, instead of each leaf
working as separate unit, the lower
leaves of rusty spring are held fast
to the upper leaves. The reaction from
the compression of such a spring is
many times greater than the reaction
Of clean, well-lubricated spring
where the leaves are allowed to slip on
one another as they should.
The first step towards remedy is
to keep mud and dirt and all foreign
matter away from the springs. This
can be done effectively by covering
them with boots. Some supply stores
carry covers to fit good range Of
sizes of springs, but if you can't buy
them already made, you should be
able to make them yourself, sewing
them together of leather or a good
grade of leather substitute, advises
Motor Life Magazine. The advantage
Of the latter material Is that it is
much cheaper than leather and, being
waterproof, it will keep dirt and mois-
ture from the springs. 1t isn't very
big job to make suitable spring covers.
especially il you can get some of the
members of the family interested to
the point that they will sew the covers
together on the sewing machine. Since
the fabrication on springs protected In
this way will remain in place a very
long time and will not gather grit and
dirt, the slight expense and trouble
which the making and fitting of the
boots will entail will be well worth the
effort.

FEEDING VALUE OF POTATOES
Rank Below Good Corn SiIage on Ac-
count Of Higher Percentage Of
Moisture In Former.

From the standpoint Of feeding
value for dairy cows, II may be said
that potatoes rank below good corn
sllage. The latter contains about 20
per cent dry matter and the former.
about 2l per cent. The chemical CON-
position Of raw potatoes and corn
silage is very similar. Both contain
about 1 per cent OF digestible protein
and between 10 and II per cent Of d.
gestIble carbohydrates and fats. but
potatoes contain somewhat more mOis-
ture than well-cured corn sllage. Po-
tatoss at 80 cents bushel would
cost s12 a ton, whereas silage is worth
less than one-half that price under
present conditions.

POST GETS ARTISTIC RANGE
Chicago Organization Acquires Use Of
Famous Worlds Fair Field
Museum Building.

The American Legion will soon have
the use Of building known to mil
lions in America as the embodiment
of beauty in art and architecture, the
old Fine Arts building of the 1893
Worlds Fair. The crack of army
rifles will be heard in the famous
structure. for 1t has been turned over
to the Hyde Park post, No. "a, of the
Legion in Chicago, as an indoor rifle
range.
The large edifice, known as the old
Field museum after the Worlds fair,
was evacuated with the completion Of
the new Field museum. Various Or
ganiZatiOns of Chicago Immediately
besieged the park commissioners for
permission to use the building, but
the Legion posts request alone was
granted.
LegiOnnaires now have a rifle range
de luxe, one that will tend to erase
the veterans memories of sweltering
days, shivering days and cold, moist
days spent in trying to locate the
bullseye on the army's outdoor fir
ing points. The building is so large
that a 2OO-yard range was established
without difficulty. along with the
shorter distances.

DRIVERS CAN IMPROVE ROADS
by Driving Over Middle and Other
Less Used Parts.

Drivers can prevent wear to the

prove their condition II instead of
driving in one track or on the edge
Of the road they will drive over the
middle and other less used parts Of
the road when traffic permits. The
one thing that is fatal above all
things to road surfaces, whether dirt
or paved, is driving in tracks, which
subjects one small part OF the road
surface to all the traffic and damage
that the whole road accommodates.
Traffic should be evenly distributed
over the entire surface OF the road.
and little thoughtfulness and care
In this respect on the part OF driv-
ers will do much to add to the per-
manence and excellence Of our road

erected somewhere in New Jersey In
order to supplement the hydroelectric
plant during seasons of low water.
