MARSHAL FocH HAD THE TIME
Famous French Fighter Aids Blind
War Victim Seeking Wounded
Soldiers institute.

The splendid spirit OF Marshal
Ferdinand Foch of France, who won
the hearts of the American people
when he toured this country as the
guest of the American Legion last
year is illustrated by story from
Paris.
A blind veteran tapped his way
along the sidewalk. Excuse me, am
I near the wounded soldiers insti-
tuteY' he asked of a passing pedes-
trian. Eve only been there twice
and / am not quite sure of the way"
"You are close to it now; let me
take you,'' came the reply.
Arriving at the door of the institute,
the guide said to the janitor: "Kind-
ly take this man to the section for
the blind"
Take him yourself growled the
janitor. "Under the archway on the
other side of the courtyard" s.
The civilian did take the veteran,
but on the way out he addressed the
janitor again.
Gould you not. be a little more
obliging to the blindY" he asked
gently.
There are too many and I haven't
the time," was the surly response
ut seems to me that 1t is your duty
to help them" said the other. II can

CAR SHORTAGE FOR GRAIN
Thirty Days Will See Complete Grain
Shipment Tieup.

st. Paul-Grain men and state Off
Gals in conference at state capitol on
the railroad situation agreed that the
northwest is threatened with the most
serious car shortage of years. The eff
feet is being felt already, though the
movement of grain has barely started.
o. P. B. Jacobson of the Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission
presided at the meeting, which was at
tended by representatives Of shippers
from Minneapolis and Duluth, and
South Dakota.
James W. Rash, South Dakota rail-
road commissioner, declared the South
Dakota crops are even heavier than in
1912 and that indications are that
severe shortage of cars will be felt
in that state within 80 days, unless
the interstate commerce commission
inaugurates program at once to meet
the needs
Commissioner Jacobson declared the
situation is even more alarming in
Minnesota. The shortage for hauling
grain, has already started he said. A
complaint received from the Farmers
Elevator company at Bigelow, Mimi,
said the elevator there is crowded to
capacity and that the grain is threat
ened with damage by heating, while
long lines of empties pass us by sent
to the docks to haul coal"
The conference estimated that So
600 cars will be needed in the north
west at once for potato shipments
alone. How many will be needed for
grain shipments the committee could
not estimate.
"We are trying to get an early
start" Mr.. Jacobson said "All indi-
cations are that we will need it,

FARGO AUDIT CO. SUES
Equity Packing Co. of Fargo Involved
In $4,000 Mortgage.

Fargo, N. D.-The Northwest Audit
company Of Fargo has served notice
on the Equity Cooperative Packing
company here that the audit firm will
start foreclosure proceedings against
the packing company on $4,000
mortgage at once. C. W. Reichert,
president of the packing company said
that the company will fight the case.
A former board of directors had al
lowed an audit claim for $4,000, he
said, and had paid $4,000 of the
amount and given notes and mort
gage for $4,000, $1,000 being left in
open account. The new board was
elected last winter at a. meeting
where charges of Encouragement
were made against the former manage
ment 1t refused to pay the remain
der of the claim as out of fall proper
ton to service rendered, according
to Mr.. Reichert. The packing COM
pany has about eighteen thousand

FEW BUCKS NOW IN U. s. ARMY
Numhar of Trained Doughboys Has Been Reduced, Bringing Total to
 Not More Than 10000 f'

Doughboys-just plain buck privates of infantry-are becoming almost as scarce in the regular army as shave tails. were some time ago. Every time there is a reduction in the size of the army. the number of buck prlvates Is very pereeptibly cut down. At the present time 1t is said that there are not more than 10000 plain. unspecial- iZed bucks" in the ranks of the United States army There are only 47 S37 men in all branches of the foot regiments while there were more than 53.O00 enlisted men In tlie infantry when the war started in April, 1917.a
 Impending additional reductions in the size of the army will show a further drop in the number of pri- yates, officers say. and leave the in fantry only a framework of highly trained specialists with just a few humble bayonet yielding bucks here and there to give a sketchy suggestion of a wartime force.
 sa This framework of specialists will be maintained, the War department declares, so that in an emergency the army may be able to quickly expand, filling in the vacant ranks with raw recruits who, with few weeks train ing will make our fighting forces a highly trained machine.

IMPORTANT FUNCTION
OF CAR TIRE TREADS
Not Decorations Like Embroidery
on Woman's Dress.
Tract!ve Wave Is Partly Overcome and
Car Held to the Road Without
Slipping and Side-Sway on
Moist Surfaces

Some car owners think tire treads
women's dresses, or distinctive pat
terms by which the manufacturer can
leave advertisements on soft roads.
But If such trifling considerations were
suggested to the scientists who create
the modern tire, they would be scan
dalized.
AS a tire %revolves there forms a
bulge just ahead of where 1t is in con
tact with the road. This bulge Is
called a 'tractlve wave" Although
the bulge always stays In the same re-
lation to the road. the revolving of the
wheel has the apparent effect of max
ing II travel around the tire.
In plain tread tires the full force of
this wave continues to roll around the
tire. But where a tread with q ribbed
or cogged backbone is used the wave
is divided to a certain extent and
thrown off at the sides. Some tire
treads are smooth, some corrugated
and some indented, but the purpose of
them all is to overcome this wave. The
decorative effect is only incidental.
Another important function of the
tire tread is to resist slipping and side
sway. If a tire is to give full satisfac-
ton 1t must be designed to hold the
car to the road. An excellent tread
combines holes to provide a vacuum
grip on slippery surface with a
V-shape or angle design to prevent
side-sway.
