HAS MESSAGE FOR ALL BOYS Young Man Draws Lesson From Strange Experience Whioh Fell to Hjs Lot. "I wish 1 could send a message to every boy In the world of a sad and strange coincidence that happened to me when I was a boy," exclaimed a young man the other day. "One hot, sultry July afternoofc?the hottest day we had that summer?I had Just turned our strt>eticorner when I met my father. " 'I wish you would deliver this package for me, Joe,' he said rather weakly, as I remembered afterward. Now I was only thirteen years old and had been out playing In the hot sun all morning and was all In when I hiet my father after playing a ten-inning gume with our side the losers. My first Impulse was to refuse, but one glance at his kind, gentle face stopped me. 'Surely I will go, father/ I said pleasantly. " 'Thank you, son,' wna the answer. 'I was going myself, but I don't feel very well today and I thought you would not refuse, us you have always been a good boy to me, Joe.' "I walked awaj. thinking father did ' not care much about his only son. or he would not send me on this Jaunt (about one mile and a hulf), on such n hot day. But somehow the words, 'I thought you would not refuse/ ami 'You have always been a good boy to me, Joe/ seemed to ring In my ear* and before I reached the end of,my Journey I was whistling a merry tune. "Returning home, I saw our doctor's auto and a crowd of people at our door. One of my aunts hurried to meet me with tears rolling down her cheeks. 'Your father fell dead Just as he reach -etfTtH^stoop.' she said. "I ffrtind out later the last words my father spoke were. 'You have always been a good boy to me, Joe.'" LAWNS NOW POTATO FIELDS Velvety Parks ?f vbe Show Places of France Transformed to Meet Economic Crisis. The rare American tourists who visit the chateau of Tournlne In France may find the velvety parks of the most Interesting show places trans formed into potato patches. Aristocracy has taken up the "tuber campaign" and, beginning with the Countess of Xoallles and the Duchess d'Uzes, chatelaines all over the coun try have promised to dig up their lawns and plant vegetables. Flower gardens, also, will be consecrated to the solution of the economic crisis. The rose, the vine and the orchard are not to be touched, but all annual flowers and all green swards must give way to the democratic potato, In the Interest of 111?? national defense. Since there is not enough labor for the farm lands already under culti vation. the temporary release from the army of a greater number of fanners and the importation of more Indo-Chi nese and North African labor is ex pected to count more' effectively In solving the agricultural problem than the efforts to transform the chateau parks Into vegetable gardens. New Talking "Movies." Application has been made for a patent on a very ellborate device which would produce n combination of the cinematograph and the phonograph to give uh moving pictures wherein the characters not only move but speak. The idea of such pictures is not new, bnt the difficulties of synchronizing have hitherto proved Insurmountable. By synchronizing Is meant the exact coincidence of the motion picture, pro jected by one machine, with the speech supposed to proceed from the char acters, ,whlch is produced by quite an other. Unless the speech comes at the right instant, the result is laugh able rather than Impressive. In the proposed device the actual speech of the character is transmitted by wire less telephone to a phonograph whose complex receiving mechanism is syn chronized with the movements of the moving picture camera.

'KEY TO FLANDERS' Bapaunm Hat Been Objective el Many Great Campaigns. ' It Was Here That D'Artagnan, Thtfi Young Officer of Cadets, Won Last ing Fame. Bapaume. which the Germans up ufter they had striven to make it un Impregnable fortress, has been the scene of nmny battles and sieges. Ah the "key to Flanders," it was the objective of more than a dozen great campaigns In tho last WOO years, a writer In the Kansas City Times re calls. Strangely, the stubborn trench fight ing that has been, going on before Ba* paume during the last year Is the re occurrence of one of the notable fea tures of the Thirty-Years' war, that long struggle that devastated Europe in tho middle of tho seventeenth cen tury. Tho armies of Ferdinand II of Austria and of Maximilian of Bavaria had pushed across Germany and Into France and held Bapaume and the Important territory which lies about It. Marshal de la Mellleraye, with a strong French army, laid siege to the city. The Austrlans and Bavarians had strongly fortified It and had dug powerful Intrenchments around It on three sides. Frvnch attacks were beaten hack and finuny the besiegers settled down to a wearing, waiting struggle. Then, as in 1910, the besieg ing soldiers chafed under the monot onous strain of trench warfare. De la Mellleraye, though regarded as one of the most brilliant commanders of his day, was freely criticized and the imperious and Impatient Rlchetteu sent word finally In 1041 that Bapaume must be taken. De la Mellleraye preferred to with hold his attack longer, but feared to do so. He assembled his subordinate generals for a conference as to the method of attack. One of them said that a young officer of cadets namftd D'Artagnan had observed a point of weakness In the, city's walls. D'Arta gnan was called In and stated that at the point which attracted his atten tion there seemed to be a weaker de fense than elsewhere. "Simulate an attack on another part of the city and give me a company of my comrades from Oascogne. I psomlse you I'll get Into the place." he snld. "Well, sir," the marshal replied, "I'll give you what you ask, but you will answer with your head for the suc cess of this audacious adventure." The following clay Bnpaume was tak en by assault, sfter IVArtagnan'a men had pierced the defenses- nt the point he had promised. The same D'Arta gnan later became a marshal of France. Bapaume Is n position of vital Im portance; It marks the last limit of the last ridge of the Arfnis hills to which an army pressed from south and we^t can dine:. After Bapaume come the plains of Flanders, with Cambral Valenciennes and Doual in plain sight. Louis XI is the first commander his tory records afc a besieger of Bapaume. He destroyed the city. Francois.I be Bleg?'<l and took It. Later It fell Into the hands of the Spaniards, and after that the Austrian* held It for awhile. It has been French since its capture in 1041 by De la Mellleraye. In the Franeo-T'russian war the French won one of their few victories at Bapaume, General Fuidherbe checking the Ger man advance at that point. Though Bapaume In time of peace had only 4.(MM) inhabitants, it was an important manufacturing center with extensive cambric, calico, thread and sugar industries. Some Birds Are "Sprinters." Birds with short, square wings, like the king bird, quail and ruffled grouse, are sprinters; those with a wide stretch of wings are "distance run ners." Birds of the first class attain their burst* of speed through their very rapid wing stroke; birds of the second class have sustained powers of flight, but get under way more slowly. All the gallinaceous fowl are sprint ers. They tnke wing like a bullet; their wings make a loud, whirring sound. The quail or ruffled grouse can gain full momentum within sixty feet of rising: the wings beat from five to seven times a second. The quail cov ers from forty-five to fifty feet the first second away from the gun; his wings flash like a rapidly -revolving wheel. The wings of the ruffled grouse roar until the sound can be 1h??4^200 yards away, s Handel's Holograph Will.
