revealed that motor-fuel consump-
ton per vehicle in 1899 reached an
all-time high, which was approx
matey 80 per cent greater than con-
sumption twenty years ago.
Actually" it was stated, "the re-
suits of this study show the motor
fuel consumption of an average
vehicle in operation for the full
year. The average gasoline tax
for example, paid by all motor
vehicles in operation the full year
was 5000, compared with an av.
erage of $33.05 for all vehicles reg.
istered, some of which were mac.
tive part of the year."

YOU WE'RE AVERAGE

IF you owned and operated a
motor vehicle of average size and
and weight during the full twelve
months of 1889, and if you used
your vehicle no more and no less
than the average, then you con-
sumed 724 gallons of motor fuel.
For this gasoline you paid about
$9636, exclusive of taxes, which
probably cost you 5000 additional.

no right-could never have any
right-even to talk with your sister

with her. That was what decided

"Of course, Jerry thought your

time keeping Jerry inside, but he

back to the party. I went upstairs,
got hold of the wire through a Win

ton, and the two feet of this soft
ness muffled every sound.
But since there was no living
creature out in those woods-no
crickets to sing or frogs to croak
under two feet of ice-there were
no sounds to muffle. There was
only the soft padding Of our own
boots In the snow at the bottom
OF the trench, a sound that hardly
went beyond the sandbags.
The trenches ran through tall
pines. and each Of their branches
was piled 10 high with snow that
the last high flakes on each ridge
must have been gently poured on
with a pastry tube. or they would
have toppled off.
The snow was the cleanest,
deepest white you can think Of,
because there was not for many
miles any SCOT or dust to soil 1t.
Walking along the front line
trench we would come upon sem
try standing there In the white
darkness every 40 or so PAGES,
looking out toward the Russians
with the white cotton hood over
his steel helmet, and 4 white cam
outage blouse over his uniform.
30 only his face and his automatic
rifle were dark.
Sometimes we would stoop TO
crawl through a narrow tunnel to
a machine gun chamber. with only
one long horizontal slit facing the
Russians.
Through this, with the machine
guns cold little nozzle by our
temples. we would stare out at the
Finnish wire and beyond. Even the
barbs of the wire held great gobs
Of snow.
One man. kneeling TO the very
bottom Of the trench. would light
a single match for his cigaret
Then each, bending over, would
light his from its red end, and
walk always holding them well
down, and bending over for each
drag, and again cupping the hands
so that the rising red glow Of the
puff would not be reflected on the
snow of the trench, for in that dim
clump of trees beyond the wire
was a Russian machine-gun nest,
and q cigaret glow could bring
half belt Of bullets.
But always, when we stood sim
and looked over. there were only
the snow-covered hard-frozen Rus
sian dead hanging on the Finnish
wire. These were very still.
Beyond them was the bare space
of no-man's land. No sound came
to the ear from II. In the trees
beyond the Russian trenches was
the same great silence.
And I know / have not told
how very beautiful II was In this
soft white darkness. when we
stopped to listen To the stiffness
OF death.
