War ' and the Birds.
(Mrtttlh wlhl thing*. as a rule, xeoin
un frightened and wholly UtnlUllurhcd
hy the long spel^of the tremendoiis
l.v heavy gunfire on the Western front.
It is Singular to note that, though tilie
bird# there may lie silenced hy a
thunderstorm, they alng continuously
through the dca feu lug roar of 'a heavy
bombardment of the trenches, 'tfhe
link rises singing between the lines,
and tlu? wren plays among the bram
ble*, despite the thundering of the
gun*.

can only set hi* foot at the risk of
his life ? 'plant, In-met, and hlril life
again go on undisturbed. It Is. as
It were, as if war with all its appal
ling turmoil had now become So fami
liar to the kingdom of birds and* wild
animals Hmt it had lost Its ndwhr
to frighten. *
? Miring the winter a,n1l spring of
11114 ami 11)15, however, wild animals
of all kinds, scared by the heavy can
non ami litte tiring, lied from Ger
many and parts of Austria, and en
tered the Swiss forests and the Alps.
I hc,\ Included wild boars, ih'or of sev
ol'al kinds, goats, etc,, as well as in
numerable wild d'owl ; and. In the. Low
er lOngadine. >ven bcal's cntereil the
Swiss Yellowstone Park, as it Is term

'i"es deal! out to offenders against :
the law. I'lii' sj rangers were then a I I
I ? ?\\ i -i I to have a rest in |>cace and
comfort before continuing their jour
ney southward to warmer climes.
There is no doubt whatever It was
Hie war that frightened the animals
and birds from their accustomed
haunts, ami crowded the Swiss lakes!
and forests. A large number of wild I
bears from the Hlack Forest entered I

SEND FRANCE COOKS
Teach People to Make Cornbread
and Cornpone.
French-American Woman Makes Sug
gestion ? Yankee Soldiers Looked
Upon as Heroes by Boys. ,
New York. ? A commission of Ameri
can cooks to bo sent to France to teach
the French how to make cornhread
and cornpone and all the other edible
things Into which cbrnmeal can be con
verted 1h suggested by Mrs. Henjamln
Cram of Tliiltimorc and New York.
Mrs. Cram, a French woman, married
to an American, has Just returned from
, France where she spent six months
vtsltlug tho battle front apd studying
economic conditions.
"There Is actual Suffering In the
provinces," she said, "lHH*a use of lack
of floiir. Why don't American women
tench the French how to' use cornmeijl ?
.Just tlv6 cooks sent from he e could
accomplish wonders.
"The French.*' continued Mrs. Cram,
"are learning many things about the
people of my adopted land. They bhve
found that the American whom they
once despised as Wholly Commercial
has Ideals like their own. The coming
of Pershing and hip men is the cause
of this change of opinion. They are
beginning to understand each other ?
France and America ? and tho deep
affection growing between them will
continue after the war.
"You should see the little French
boy when he meets an American sol
dier. For a moment he Is silent from
awe,- and then he shouts half rever
ently, half joyfully, 'The American!'
Such hero worship you never sa w !
And you should see one of tfiose Amer
ican youngsters In khaki as he walks
up the. sheet amid the awed greetings
of his little admirers, lie draws him
self up and throws out his chest and
looks as proud as a king."
MILITANT AND MILITARY
1
This ordinarily pleasing young I,or" ,
son is shown In a costume thnt rather j
startled nil beholders. There have i
1 boon nimiy ml I It if ry fashions, hut not :
one of thorn o,ver came near this for a
i militaristic appearance. This feminine ,
piece of apparel Is patterned In many |
' ways after the uniform. The coat Is
wriore full, and the collar has long ;
i poiuts, which are practically the only '
differences. Swinging from the shout- !
d^rs is a military cape that adds to the .
? style of the costume. The skirt is '
tight-fitting, so tight that when the |
wearer walks, it greatly resembles
; trousers. The hat Is hullt on Royal !
riving corps lines. The outfit Is ex- i
tremely natty, and will make a soldier i
! girl of any wearer.
Nuts Become Popular.
i Seattle, Wash. ? Nuts are popular
food here. The reason for the unpre
I cedented demand for nuts is that Mrs. i
Catherine Davis, h nut packer In a !
' Seattle nut ph, .t, reported to the po
ltce that >he helleves she dropped her
purse, containing $112 in currency
und two diamond rings valued at
about >100, Into a can of nuts she
was packing.
