WARS THUNDER AGAIN HEARD
Fire In West Flanders Forest Set OF
Thousands OF Shells That Had
Been Stored There.

The inhabitants of Langemarck,
Clerckem, Staden. woumen and other
villages bounding the forest Of Houth-
ulst were startled out Of their sleep
one night recently by furious can
nonadlng which brought them scurry-
Ing out Of their more or less repaired
dwellings and In search Of dugouts as
they used to do In "the terrible four
years." as they are called In West
Flanders.
The peasants around the forest have
become experts In artillery, and the
barrage that night. they say. was
something more terrific than they ever
heard during the war. according to the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. First there
came volleys of the familiar German
seventy-sevens and the Austrian
eighty-eights, to which would reply
the rapid staccato of hundreds of bat
teries Of French seventy-fves. The
forest of Houthulst was ablaze and
owing to the protracted drouth fire
was spreading with furious rapldity.
Then cavalry arrived on the scene.
They were Belglans come to fight the
forest fire.
HAS 1t come again. the war, sirf'
a trembling old woman asked of the
captain.
Suddenly the cry was heard, "Gasp
and there was stampede. The sol
diers began to distribute gas masks
and throughout the night peasants and
soldiers, armed with spades, shoyels
and picks, dug trench that the fire
might be stopped before it reached the
huge ammunition dumps left by Ger
man and allied troops In the center
Of the forest, with millions of shells of
all kinds. almost enough, 1t was said,
'to blow West Flanders into the North
sea-"
By morning the fighters had the up
per hand of the fire which was van
quished about one hundred yards from
one of the largest dumps, but mean
while about million shells Of all
sorts exploded. They were in four
separate dumps and of four square
miles of the forest where they had
been nothing remains but few trees.

rather die than steal cent man
ages to be more or less dishonest every
day.
Too many girls who are employed
In business fail to realize that in
stealing time they steal the equivalent
Of dollars. II you waste time, idling
In whatever way, you are not being
honest In your work.
II YOU slur details. confuse items,
forget Instructions. II you use only
half your brains and half your energy,
you are being dishonest. When you
accepted the position you implied that
you were fit for 1t. 1t is on that basis
you are paid.
You may argue that ii makes very
little difference whether or not you are
guilty of these dishonesties. But you
ought to realize that II means lot t.
you. The ancient adage that honesty
is the best policy applies especially to
these aspects of honesty. In the end
you harm yourself by faults OF this

If you hate your work you ought to
get out of Ii. Work is often more
thrilling than anything else that we do.
Love your job; work hard at 1t with
enthusiasm and growing skill. and
you will be happy woman.
This is old stun. So old that most

In making your life worth while as

Washington. June 29.-Tsrliis oil
ioodstuiis occupied the attention oi
the senate again today. with COM
miitee rates on milk. cream poultry
and honey receiving overwhelming
endorsement despite fights from the
democratic side and some opposition
from the majority side in the case
OF the rate OH cream. Duties ap-
proved were:

served and not specially provided
for. IS per cent ad valorem, house
rate, % per cent.
Honey, 5 cents a pound, house

Debate over milk and cream duties
developed controversy among New
England senators. The amendment
OF Senator Lodge, republican leader,
TO provide for 10 cents gallon on
al! imported cream not used for max
ing butter. was rejected, So to 10.
Discussion Of the proposed duty
on honey brought forth considerable
humor and sarcasm from the demo-
cratic side. Senator Stanley OF Ken
lucky remarked that no doubt the
duty was designed to sustain the
higher standard of living of the
American honey bee. and he declared
that the utter indifference of the
democratic party to the American
honey bee is pathetic"
Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, gave |
It as his opinion that the duty was
designed to protect the American bee
rom the German bee, which, he said,
necessarily enjoyed a much lower
living cost than the American bee.
