RRR. POILU TACKLES GUM Looked Like Food So They Tried to Eat It. Now Have Remarkable Regard for the American Digestive Ap- Paratus. Paris—One of the struggles in which the French soldiers became in- volved when the Germans swept across the Aisne between Soissons and Reims was with chewing gum.y I refer to Chicle Americanus, the—to us—well- known vegetable product which may be found adhering to the underside of desks, to shoe soles, and to trouser seats throughout the United States. The self-same article that at once solaces the weary shop girl and the tired business man who endeavors therewith to conceal the fume of the drinks that cheer. An American ambulance train was operating in the general region of the drive, and the army post exchanges established and operated for it by the Y¥. M. C. A. were well supplied with the things which are necessary to the comfort—physical and mental—of the American soldier, The Red Triangle officials had estabtished a storehouse to supply these exchanges, and a car- load of supplies had been shipped to it just before the Germans started their drive. The carload carried—besides chocolate, tobacco, canned goods, cookies, etc.—a considerable quantity of chewing gum. When the drive started the Red Tri- angle workers available started out with what they could carry to serve the men to whom they were attached. The storehouse was left deserted. As the French retired they foraged to keep supplies from falling into en- emy hands, using what they could and destroying the rest. The Poilus who came upon the chewing gum—like most Frenchmen— were totally unfamiliar with it. They knew only that it looked like food, was wrapped like food, and was stored with other. things they .knew to be food. They ventured further and tried it, stuffing the entire contents of a package into their mouths at one time. It tasted like food, so after a brief period of mastication they es- Sayed to swallow it. Too many of them succeeded. While no serious casualties resulted the Pollus were in- spired with a remarkable regard for American digestive apparatuses and considerable awe for American edibles. GETS INTO ARMY AT LAST Man Tries for Three Years to Join, and Leaves in 30 Minutes When Chance Comes. Pasadena, Cal.—Louis Deschamps is a Frenchman and a patriot. Ilness has kept Louis from the bat- tle front for three and a half years, but he kept persevering and recently succeeded passing a physical exam- ination. Then, just 30 minutes before 86 draft men were to leave Pasadena for American Lake, Deschamps ap- peared before draft officials of ex- emption board No 2. “T've passed my examination,” he shouted. “What are my chances for action?” ‘ “Your chances are fine,” was the answer, “if you can get ready in thirty minutes.” Deschamps chartéred a high-pow- ered automobile, closed up his busi- ness affairs in record time and was the second of the drafted men to board the train. TALLEST MAN IN MARINES Former Mall Clerk, 6 Feet 5!4 Inches Tall, Enlists in Service at Baltimore. Baltimore, Md.—Uncle Sam now has 6 feet 5% inches of real U. 8. marine, He is Carroll William Doggett, twenty- five years old, a mail clerk of this city. ‘When the 77% inches of humanity strolled into the local recruiting sta- tion, the officers in charge had the shock of their young lives. After some little difficulties, which included bumping his head on the elec- trie light fixtures in the ceiling, the lengthy caller managed to get down Into a chair. Upon examination he was told he was 3% inches too tall and 26 pounds underweight. So Doggett got busy and after much work and worry ar- ranged for a waiver from Washington, He 1s the tallest magn in the marine corps. Making Greek Cheese. Madison, Wis.—Three factories in this state are now manufacturing Greek cheese. The factories are lo- cated at Milwaukee, Janesville and Shawano. The manufacturers are con- fident that the work has passed the experimental stage. They are making two varieties—Feta and Mynzethra. It Is Practical Economy To Paint _ Your Buildings a) Now and Protect Your Property. From Decay Allowing your buildings to go unpainted in order to save paint money is like allowing your insurance policy to lapse because you want to save the premium. Either is poor economy. Millions of dollars are lost annually because property is not protected against weather, for unpainted build- ings offer no resistance to the destructive elements. Property insurance requires pairits and finishes of the finest quality. Wind, rain, sunshine, snow—each acts differently upon a painted surface. It is neces- sary therefore to use great care in the selection of paints and varnishes for this important task of protection. _ For fifty years and more Sherwin-Williams products have been accepted and used as standard high quality finishes, They will successfully protect and increase the value of your property. A full line of Sherwin-Williams finishes at our store. May we not talk over painting plans with you ?
