SHE KNEW THE GREAT STORY
Girl Lacked Gift of Narrative, but
Was Able to Tell All About
Chateau Thierry.
As we crawled up a railroad track
In the vicinity of Chateau Thierry
(this was in October)?a railroad

A. girl, who had been sitting in the
corner of the compartment resisting
all advances at conversation, volunteered
a remark.
"Our division took it," she said.
It turned out that she had gone In
with her canteen just behind the division,
during that fight wherein America
made good. She lacked the narrative
talent, that girl, but she came out
t intervals with flnshes like this:
"When our boys came up the stragglers
said to them: 'You can't stay in
there!' And our boys said: 'We'll
not only stay there, but we're going
forward/ When the stragglers saw
that, they formed, too, and went back
with them."
Or this, as we drew into sight of a
road bordered by blackened ruins:
"There's where our divisions came
Into sight, singing, 'The Yanks Are Coming."'?Will

Food and War.
We went into the war because the
German general staff held the conviction
that American wheat was more
dangerous to the Teuton army than
American soldiers could ever be, says
Ralph W. Page, whose discussion of
the food situation appears in the
World's Work. They realized what we
soon discovered?"that food will win
the war." The ruthless submarine
campaign that outraged Christendom

Rather than risk the replenishment of
the poilu's larder from the harvest
fields of Kansas, William the Conquered
elected to defy the republic.

Vehicle maricet in Siam.
Owing to the low-lying and often inundated
plains of southern Siam, in
which most of the rice farming is
done and in which road making is difficult,
aud also the fact that transportation
is easily afforded by the numerI
ous canals which traverse the country
\ in every direction, there is not likely
! to be any extended demand for farm
I wagons or other vehicles for the use
of the Siamese farmer. It seems, howi
ever, that considerable attention will
be given to road making in Siam's
principal cities, notably in Bangkok,
and that therefore a line of municipal
vehicles will be needed in the near
future.

Rescued by Mother-in-Law.
William Olive of Bridgewater, after
putting a new roof on a dog house in
his yard, was afraid the dog would get
cut on the nails sticking through, and
crawled in to clinch them on the inside.
When he had finished the job
he found that his coat was caught on
a nail and he couldn't get out He
made all the noise he could, and finally,
after a long while, his mother-inlaw

That Always Treats
Caring for British Soldiers.
For the British officers and mon
who are to be kept in the field until :
peace negotiations are concluded the
government Is planning an educational
service corps to give them quick and
.intensive* special training to fit them j
for civilian employment. Courses of j
instruction will cover industrial and
commercial organization, hanking, in- j
snrance and accounting. A correspon- J
dence bureau will form part of the !
i scheme, although most of the work of I
insiruction will be done by a staff of
lecturers.
Pretty PoTly.
j Tolly, want a cracker?"
"Why, yes," answered Poll as she :
plumed her plumage and neatly
brushed out her cage with her port'
Bide wing. "Now that the war is won
and the necessity for food conservation
has been reduced to a certain degree,
I feel that I may indulge in my
favorite dish without serious damage
to my conscience."
j And the wealthy munitions worker
*f1:o overheard the remark bought her
on the spot for $1,000 cash, saying
that she sliouLd be surrounded with
luxuries for the rest of her days, yea
I though she lived to be as old as the
mother-in-law joke.

Seven-year-old James and his moth- i
er were visiting the latter's spinster
aunts. As was their custom these {
maiden ladies showed their visitors
their vast supply of home-pieced .
quilts. "This Is the first four-patch
Jane ever made," announced one
proudly, displaying a quilt whose
blocks were made up of four square j
pieces.
"And this is Mary's nine-Datch." ex
! plained. Jane. "She made, it when she
| was only seven years old."
j 'The third quilt was an embroidered j
1 silk one, made of myriads of tiny ir- j
regular pieces?the gifts of friends
and the remnants from ancient wed- I
ding and reception clothes. James I
stared at it a few minutes and then j
he turned to his mother. "Is this one .
an ail-patch?" he asked.
