HORSES BRAVE UNDER FIRE
ness Even When Subjected TO the
Enemy's Heaviest Bsrraee

The noble horse is a very calm AMI
nal under stormy or dangerous cir
cumstances. A remarkable example
of the GOODNESS displayed by horses
amid the din of war was shown at
the front in France. and the soldiers
who had the opportunity to personally
observe the attitude of the faithful
horse while under shell-fire can realize
what an Indispensable role was played
in the World war by our good old do
nestle friends, Joseph K. Schadel
writes in Our Dumb Animals,
While serving on the front in France
| was more than once astonished and
impressed by the actions of horses
when the shells began to burst and the
deadly gas spread its fatal wings over
the field Of battle One night near
Chateau-Thierry, a heavy barrage be-
gan to fall in our vicinity, and the
horses, which were also open to the
stead, three of them. following the
example of the soldiers. lay down
promptly and waited until the Smelling
was over. Only one of them was killed
and that poor fellow had remained
standing.
Another time while moving along
d road that was under enemy observa-
ton, the shells started to burst on
both sides of our column. But the
good old horses plodded on the great
est bravery was shown, and. FORUM
ately, none was lost. In time, l hope
there will be more space allotted in
history to the excellent part which
horses played in the late war Only
the highest praise would be their just
dues.

not with their teeth, but with their
long. powerful tails. They dashed fu-
riously at each other darling this way
and that, each flashing at the other
with his tail. AT no time did the spec
tators see blood in the water, but the
blows that were struck were evidently
hard enough to do fatal damage for

The men in the boat were about TO

suddenly there was q mighty swirl
In the water, and the other shark
came swiftly 10 the surface, seized
the defeated foe in his jaws ana
carried him down out Of sight.

Metal screws have been made since
236 B. c. The shank of the screw has

metal by reducing it to shavings.
A certain screw manufacturer has
decided to alter this. 4 metal bar, OF
the diameter of the shank, is put into

thus expanded in the confined com
