Saint Yves remained in the water, with just his head above the surface to enable him to breathe, for five hours, or until after darkness. Then he crept out and made his way to the French machine-gun position, de- livered the orders to the lieutenant in charge and made his way to the trenches again. Sent to the Hospital. Saint Yves had to go to a hospital for ten days, however, as the shell hole water in which he had been immersed so long was “gassy,” having asimilat- ed the poisonous properties of the gas shells from both sides which had been rained down in “No Man’s Land.” Sev- eral hours after Saint Yves emerged from the shell hole the poisonous wa- ter got in its effect. Saint Yves was wounded in the *g last May, but has entirely recovered from that and asserts he will be able to run as well as ever if the war ever ends and he gets back into civilian life, i The marathon runner has applied for a transfer to the aviation, and his superior officers have indorsed his re- quest. He expects to be called to an aviation school to begin his training at any time. Saint Yves will try to be brevetted as a fighting pilot for flying in single-seated machines, “IT hear that poor old Tom Longboat has been killed with the Canadians up near Lens,” said Saint Yves. “Well, Tom was a wonderful runner, but no man ever lived that can run as fast as the Boche bullets. “Our sector at the front—opposite Saint Quentin, where the Germans re- treated to the Hindenburg line—is sup- posed to be quiet all the time, but we had a little fight up there a few weeks ago that was pretty lively. I was as- signed as dispatch-bearer, carrying messages from the colonel up to the line, because the German bom- bardment had plowed up all the ground behind our first and second line of trenches and torn up the tele- graph and telephone wires, and their artillery had also wrecked a lot of our wireless. Had Narrow Escapes. “I had several close shaves in cross- ing out in the open, with the German snipers potting at me from 1,000 me- ters away, A couple of big shells dropped pretty near me, too, but then you get used to shells, whereas ma- chine guns and rifles always annoy you. “Pretty soon I hope to be in the aviation service and after I get bre- vetted as a pilot and have some ex- perience of flying at the front, ’m going to apply to be sent to America as an instructor for United States army aviators.” The wife and family of Saint Yves are now at Dieppe. Contrary to gen- eral belief, Saint Yves was never a waiter in a Paris cafe. Born in Rouen, he lived and worked there as a bicycle repair man prior to going to the United States eight years ago as a long-distance runner, SURGERY CAN @URE CROOKS Michigan Judge Declares Half the Criminals in the U. S. Might Be Saved. Chicago.—“Fifty per cent of the criminals in this country under thirty years of age can be restored to good citizenship under proper surgical at- tention.” Judge George W. Bridgeman of Ben- ton Harbor, Mich., made that state- ment at the dinner of the American Association of Orificial Surgeons in the Hotel La Salle here. “Seventy-five per cent of the crim- inals brought into the courts of this country are between the ages of fif- teen and twenty-four years and 80 per cent of them suffer from physical dis- ability,” said Judge Bridgeman. “In most of these cases this disability is responsible for mental disability, mani- fested In crime, and it is capable of correction.” COAL GAS FOR AUTOS May Be Used as a Substitute for u Gasoline, Idea Originated Abroad Where Has Been Used With Complete Success. it Washington.—Officials here are greatly interested in a new plan for conserving gasoline by substituting coal gas for propelling automobiles and other engines requiring gasoline. The idea originated abroad, where such conservation is vital. Details of the formula for the substitution have been sent to this country and the idea promises a speedy development. Besides, the high cost of gasoline, many factors make a substitute desir- able. So successful has the substitute proved in England, for example, that charging stations may be found about every five miles in some parts of the country. In view of this success much attention is now being devoted to the development of the plan here and abroad. About 250 cubie feet of coal gas is required to equal a gallon of gasoline. For this reason suitable containers have not been found. The best ar- rangement now consists of a gas bag made of balloon fabric, fastened to a light wooden rack on top of the car. From this a supply pipe runs down the edge of the wind shield on the carbu- retor side of the engine and dis- charges the gas either directly into the carburetor or into the intake near the carburetor. A check valve obviates the danger of a backfire, and a cut-off enables the driver to use gasoline while carrying gas, or vice versa. In the same pipe is a connection for the gas supply main to be used when the gas bag is filled. The operation requires about ten minutes. A difficulty, however, is that an en- gine propelled by coal gas develops only 90 per cent of the power that is obtained from gasoline. It is neces- sary, to drive at a high speed to get the best results. One remedy, how- ever, is the mixing in of a regulated supply of acetylene gas, which supplies the necessary kick. FERTILIZER FOR GARDEN USE Should Contain Three Chief Ingredi- ents, Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash. For general garden crops a fertilizer should contain the three chief ingred- ients in the following per cents: Nitro- gen, four; phosphoric acid, eight; and potash, ten. If for bulbs the potash content should be at least doubled. CANVAS COVER FOR ALFALFA With High Price of Hay and Frequent Showers Protection Affords Big Dividend. This has been a year when the can- vas covers for alfalfa have paid a divi- dend, with the high price of hay and the frequent showers. Stack covers will pay as well, as no one can afford to have any loss in quality of his hay.
