BURN UP SHELLS
How Unexpended Ammunition
 Was Done Away With.
Bonfires Every Day in Belgium for Considerable Period Following
 End of the War.

At a certain town in Belgium strange bonfire used to be lighted every night
 During the day from 120 to POO tons of ammunition left over from the war-sOme 3O,OOO projectiles of every description, that is-were stripped of their fuses. Then they were laid with open mouths alongside shallow trenches that had been filled with brushwood and sprfnkled with picrate and cordite taken from the shells and cartridges.
 At 5 80 in the afternoon the great fire was ready to be lighted, and NJ. F. A. Talbot, an English writer, gives the following thrilling description of the way in which it was done:
 Sharp to the minute shrieks a whistle, and there is a wild stampede of workers from the clearing. A mOtOrcar has driven up unobserved, bearing the safety inspector and his assistants.
 He makes a hurried, examination of the now silent and tenantless clear ing, re-arranging the shells here, and trimming the trails somewhere else. Meanwhile an assistant has emerged from his shack with four long steel rods, an armful of rags, and a bucket of paraffin.
 "The rags are wrapped round the ends of the rods and saturated with the inflammable liquid, and sharp at 5 40 match is struck and four blaz- ing torches distributed among the safety officials.
 'The mOtOrcar commences to purr as the firebugs bend to their task. Each man is responsible for the fir ing of so many trenches. It is an inspiring race. The men fit from trench to trench in succession, dipping their brands into the attractive trail in passing.
 "The cordite and picrate catch fire instantly to run along the ditch with the speed of the prairie fire. By the time the last trench has been fired the ground is completely envel- oped in smoke and the men appear as phantoms.
 "The brands are hurrledly discard Su, dIlu IuST0 IS SplIllOu SpElul across the remaining few yards to the road to catch the car, which is already on the move. Tumbling into the vehicle pell-mell, the throttle is opened and the top speed slipped in, there being no easing up until at least a mile has been put between the es- caping frebugs and the burning ground.
 "As the evening advances the fire grows fiercer, throwing off dense clouds of varicolOred smoke, lit with lurid tongues of flame. For miles around the fire is a spectacle, ana it occurs so pUnctually every aft ernoOn throughout the week that the rural population accepts it as a time piece"
 By next morning the shells have burned themselves out and are suffi- ciently cooled to be handled. They are then sent away to have the driv- ing band removed, and the ground is prepared afresh for the next bon fire.

A Rude EIephant

Houdini had a mystery show at the Times Square theater in conjunction with the presentation of his first mo- tion picture for his own producing organization and in it was an illusion which apparently shows how easy 1t is for some persons to make an ele- phant disappear right before your eyes. Two elephants were used and Emil Ankermiller, who used to man. age some of the most noted stars of the dramatic profession, designated himself private secretary to the pachyderms. Thus it happened that one of the big animals hit Ankermil- Ter in the face with its tail and Emil grew wrOth.
 Darn you !'' he growled. 'I'll have you know I once managed Richard Mansfield"
 The elephant merely smiled.

BELIEVE IN POOL

Dairymen generally are very much interested in the pooling plan as an outlet for their milk. This interest is not confined to poolers alone and the question on nearly every dairy mans lips is "Is it or will it prove successful" Therefore the follow ing extract from an article in the recent number of the Farm Bureau News should be of interest.
 Many of our members ask us "What do you think of the Dairy mems League Pool,?" knowing that we have not assisted in any of its organization work, that we are not personally acquainted with any of it's officers and that we can be de- pended upon to give an impartial statement becadse of these facts. Our answer to this question is, "We believe in it. The principle is right and we believe the management has done a mighty good job to sell the milk as we'll as it has and to keep the expense of administration SC low.
 "We have read and studied nearly everything written by the Associa- tion, by "poolers'' and by "non- poolers" The more we read, the more we believe in the pool and the more certain we become that the "PooP' must win or the dairy busi- ness will be ruined for years to come. No other plans yet, proposed have a sufficient businesslike foun- dation to stand a ghost ofsa show. This is a time when good sound business sense must be used, this is being based on economic conditions as they exist. It is no time for foolish, impractical theories. We Believe the Dairymen's League Co., operative Association, Inc. is sound" ."

GOOD FOR "SWELLED HEAD"
Man Who Iniaglnes He Is Thoroughly Well Known Should "Listen
 In" Occasionally.

There is a gorgeous lesson in humility to be obtained at almost every dinner party for the man who imagines that he has jumped through the hoop into the public eye. He may have climbed half way up Parnassus in his work as a scientist, an explorer, a politician, a soldier, an architect, a painter, novelist or a playwright, or even have arrived at the tip-top and be sitting there dangling his feet. It does not matter. There are always plenty of people going about who daily discover to him the fact that his name means nOthing-or something else. "Swnnerton?" I heard once from one of those women who always carries a dog and maintains a husband to give 1t exercise. Isn't he the man who in vented the Yale lock, or is it a town in Iowa" and another time, at a bridge table on board a liner, a girl caught up the name of Shackleton. 'I always use his raCquets," she said with triumph. And the year before last at Bar HarbOr I heard Conrad praised for having devised that very nice soap that floats in the bath- How good for the soul exclaims COsmo Hamilton writing in the Spur.
 I remember also a first-hand lesson in the utter aloofness of people from the things that seem to matter. At a dinner party again. The hostess, one of the dowagers of New York, charming and enterprislng old lady whose house has not been altered since the days of crinolines, and who heatedly denied that the people in "The Age of Innocence" had been drawn from life. She had been taken the evening before to see a play of mine that was running and, by a strange accident, running we'll, at Broadway theater. She told me all about 1t. She said, 1T had such pleasant evening. You really must make an effort to see that play. cannot remember the name of 1t or at which theater 1t was. I cannot re- member the names of any of the ac- tors. I never can. And of course, I haven't the remotest idea who wrote it-I never read the program. But strongly recommend 1t to you. It's so amusing" I identified 1t as mine pres ently when, going into further details, the dowager mentioned how particu- larly pleased she had been with a stuffed wildcat that stood on the mantelpiece in the last act. It Is not an easy thing to suffer from swelled head these days. A pity, because 1t adds to the dwindling sources of merriment that have survived the great war,

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
The Waters Fine

This bard though bald, is fairly slim; his years are not yet hurting him, but youth recedes from day to day and boyhood scenes seem far away. Already dimmer through the haze shine memories of the good old days, and other kids both plump and slim possess the creek he used to swim. By their free masonry the boys cen at their books, foretaste it's joys. Two fingers raised Cor is it three?) mean "After school come swim with me.3 In frantic haste their shirts they shuck, their britches from their legs they pluck, yet pause awhile before they duck; for one and all the little scamps, before they brave the chilly damps, perform the rite that wards off cramps O bare brown limbs sun-health imbibing! O boyhood joys beyond describing Come, comrades of the good old times, and all old boys who read these rhymes; shuck off the cares that vex the soul, let middle age from off you roll and join me at the swimming hole. Why should we pause because we're bigger. "Last one in's a red-head nigger." Forget your years cen though you've got 'em; "Bet you I can bring up bot tom." "Gosh, old Fatty you look queer" "So deep.
