WHIPPET TANK-“BAD- ACTOR” Instrument 'of Warfare That for Ex: cellent Reasons Was Dreaded by the, Kalser’s Huns: .

The $9,000,000-fund may be used, for maintenance as well as survey and construction, The new legislation, like - the federal ald road act, authorizes the building of roads and trails necessary for the use and deyelopment of na- ,-tional forest resources or desirable for "the proper administration; protecuon. and improvement of such forest, or ‘- co-operatjve local contributions can be obtained, but'in addition it contains a ‘new feature of much fmportance. ., *.This new:feature permits the secre-. < of agricultare without.the co-oneration of local- officials-to-buiid-and maintain “any road-or-trall within a natlonal forest which he finds necessary for the propér: administration, protection and fmprovenient of such forest, or | m:l in his opinfon_ is of natlional ance.” TIn the view of forestry “ials this ldw is the-most important “$iep ever taken for rapid development of national forest roads system, and will be of inestimable benefit to the local.public. . “The measure gives us.much broader scope for a fully dev&loped: program than we have had before” says Henry 8.

SIMPLE- WAY TO FIND OUT Fussy Passenger Told Just How He Could Ascertain If Car Was Moving, or Not. In the midst of Nebraska snowdrifts a train got stalled o that the wheels would not move forward or back. There 1t stood for six hours while.the conductor walked four miles to the nearest station and got @ sectlon crew to dig the train out. Aboard that train fidgeted a hungry farmer with Populist brown whiskers, He collected the individual opinions of everybody in the coach as to when the train was going to move on; and still he fidgeted. At last the conductor returned. eisle, “Are we going?” “Are we golng?” blustered the con- ductor. “You raise The window and put your head out. If the zephyrs fan your whiskers we're going; if not, the | wheels of this train are probably frozen to the track.” The car roared with laughter as the the adjoining conch. New Splint Works Well, The treatment of broken and other- 1 | wise injured arms has been,somewhat facllitnted by the invention of a new splint, which is a mechanical device ready for_instant use In any case with- out regard to its character. It is in war, where a great number of. cases are to be treated as quickly as poumle, greatest value, It is adjusted to the body of the patient. It can be used on either arm and may be adjusted to any position in which it may be de- sired to hold the injured arm. It is a comblnation of metal rods, with suit- able joints and hinges, so that the arm 1s properly supported and protected at all times.

No Bride, No Wedding. The only serious fault of the bride- co-be was that she was never known to be on time. Every place she went she was late, and 1t had gotten to be such an old story that even the min- tster, knowing of her falling, attempt- ed to remind her of it at the wedding cehearsal. “You know,” he said, “the wedding ceremony is at 8 o'clock sharp; you must be here on time.” She looked up at the clergymen with a twinkle in her eye. “Well, there is one thing—this wed- ding cannot go on very well withont me, can it?” And the clergyman had to admit that she had the best of him.
