During our recent heavy snowfall 8 gentleman about town decided late one night that something should be done about the snow on the streets.
 He went down to the A. T. Beckett company, sewer and water contractors, and told the driver of the scraper that the city had authorized that the streets be scraped, and that the A T. Beckett company had ap- proved use of it's scraper for the work.
 So in the dark of night the scraper scuttled back and forth on the streets neatly scraping the snow off to the sides.
 1t wasn't until the next day that comparison of notes dis closed the following facts: (n the city council had not discus sed or authorized the snow be- ing scraped (2) the A. T. Beck cit company knew nothing a. bout it, either.

They squandered a dime of their
aff1uence on bus to town. Every
one not on duty was going, with the
exception of Freddie.
Mr.. Wrinkle and Mr.. Tinker inves-
tigated the town together. 1t was
an old-fashioned community, with
red brick buildings and discouraged
looking stores. 1t had a bewildered
air of having for years gone about
its quiet affairs and then suddenly
found itself with thousands of SOL
diers on its hands.
After a single turn up and down
the main street, Mr.. Tinker ex-
pressed his disgust. Dead" he
said. "a graveyard, or almost"
From the tone of his voice Mr..
Wrinkle detected that Mr.. Tinker had
seen something he hadn't observed.
He learned what this was when Mr..
Tinker proposed that it was time for
a beer, and led the way into bar
they had twice passed.
Here there was life, especially in
the form of a number of young la
dies seated in booths.
Mr.. Tinker, at distance, made
friends in pantomime with two Of
them while he and Mr.. Wrinkle drank
their beer at the bar. Rather eau
tiously, Mr.. Tinker inquired of Mr..
Wrinkle if he cared to make the &C.
quaintance of the two young ladies'.
Mr.. Wrinkle refused as gracefully
as he could. "But don't let me stop
you" he offered broad-mindedly.
Mr.. Tinker regarded him queru-
lousy, as if to wonder what kind of
friend he had made. He walked
over to the ladies, who received him
enthusiastically. They looked after
Mr.. Wrinkle curiously when he
walked out.
The first time Mr.. Wrinkle forgot
to take his pills, he rushed to swal-
low them in order to avoid getting
sick. The second time it slipped his
mind he was filled with panic that
three days had elapsed since he had
taken them.
Before he could dig down in his
green-metal barracks trunk for the
bottle, it occurred to him that every
thing was all right. The Army life
had come, perhaps not gently, but
firmly, and taken his dyspepsia
away from him. He no longer need
ed his pills.
When they had first received their
rifles, he regarded his as some
thing which might explode at any
moment. The very touch of it made
him nervous and he was glad, each
afternoon, after the days training
was over, to get rid of it by placing
it in the rifle rack.
In time he developed certain
familiarity with the weapon, largely
because it was so much his con-
slant companion. With some re-

luctance he even entertained slight
admiration for the clever details of
its wicked mechanism.
Firing it, however, was another
matter. The first day on the range,
Mr.. Wrinkle closed his eyes when he
pulled the trigger. The resulting
explosion made him open his eyes.
For an instant he was sure he had
shot himself; at least his shoulder
felt as if he had.
He was informed by the Alphabet
that he hadn't hit any part of the
target. On successive tries he didn't
do much better, but he learned to
keep his eyes open and sight.
A rifle was bad enough, but when
the day came that the mysteries of
a machine gun were revealed to
them, the palms of Mr.. Wrinkles
hands perspired copiously and his
stomach crawled.
Nevertheless, he carried out his
duty. Sitting before the weapon,
the white cloth of the target be-
came a blank, with the horizontal,
perpendicular, and slanting boxes
marked on it erased as far as he
could see them. He was SO hot
when he squeezed the trigger that
his glasses became clouded and
he might as well have been blind.
The gun jumped, splitting out hail
of lead. A great vibration was in
his hands. 1t felt like a series of
sharp electric shocks. He let 60
hurriedly.
Except for the chatter of other
guns down the line, there was si-
lence.
The Alphabet filled it. "You
plowed up plenty of ground" he
told Mr.. Wrinkle. Nov see what you
can do to the target"
