A motor hook and ladder truck with siren acreaming dashed through the crowd from a side street, akidded on tho sltppery pavement and went on down tho main thoroughfare, A woman attired In a chemise and a peir of stockings stepped up to Carroll, who was smoking a cigar, and asked him for a Nght for her cigarette. Another woman wearing @ corset and some lin- kerio below the belt ran up to one of the British officers and handed him & small woolly dog, which he promptly passed along to a French officer who appeared to be In some sort of au- thority, for he was shouting at the top his voice. Tho Fronch officer put the dog in a pocket of his overcoat and both officer and dog passed out of our crowded lives A TIME WHEN ONE'S SUBWAY EXPERIENCE COUNTS, A weoping little boy fell prone in front of me and, ulte .imly, I picked him up and threw dim through | @n open doorway. We were fighting our way through the crowd and, owing to our experience with the| subway, Carroll and I were making gress when our atte ition— | Lleutenanta ttention of everybody—was arrested by a ehrill, whining sound above our heads. The shouting and screaming and etruggiing ceased. By common !mpulas everybody stood still and looked upward to see a blue strenk aplitting a crack in the sky. There was 4 shock but no explosion, “A dw explained our Milesian. British officer, “a mhell that didn't go oft."

It is the sound of w bomb containing from 160 to 200 pound of explosive passing through |the air, Wo saw the etreak crossing the sky, the glare of the fuse. Star bombs were bursting in all directions. A plane carrying a searchlight crossed the street about 1,000 feet up I thought of the old Pain'a fireworks shows at Manhattan Beach, By this time we had reached a corner half @ block from the theatre A fire engine and @ hook and ladder truck, crowded with firemen wearing shining brass hats, came along and divappeared, and how everybody in sight waan't run down {a beyond my comprehension. Threa Canadian sol- dlera joined us and cursed the Kaiser most delightfully. We were all look- ing upward and the whining sound was in our ears. Wa knew some- thing was going to happen.

I have seen policemen and firemen work un- der emergency conditions in the United States, and I cannot recall a home experience in which more capa- ble and discretionary energy was dis- Played. Here was a great emergency, and the Police and Fire Departments of Paris were right on the job.

Both the glass faces of the clock had been shattered by the explosion of the bomb, But the clock was working, and the hands, against a background of twisted, broken ironwork, were point- ing to the zenith and telling the time, T think this clock illustrates more than anything I have seen the spirit of the French people.

Any one who has built or bought a home in the suburbs has had an experience that makes one of the big events of a lifetime. Most people buy or build but one home. Often the event is the result of years of planning, of hunting, of saving. And the day the home is finally occupied is one of those days that go down in the family Bible—with your wedding day and baby's birthday. From that first day in your own home a new chapter begins in the book of life. Your world grows larger; your interest greater; your i more extensive—you a man of affairs. But far back in your mind remain the details of that happy time when you started out to get your own home —how you first had the home owning fever; how you planned your house; how you searched the suburbs for that ideal spot; how you saved; how you visited many dwellings before you found just the one you wanted; how you dickered with owners, and at last—-how you bought the place that now stands out in your mind in glowing letters— Home! It is a story you have told many times. THE SUN wants you to tell it again for the benefit of those who do not yet know the joys of home ownership. Tell us how you went about getting your home. Did you buy or build? How long did you search before you found your home? How did you finance its purchase? Now that you have it, does it come up to your expectations? Tell us all those little details of your experience that make it one of the great events of your life. And have you pictures of your home? Send them with the story—exteriors, interiors, and a floor plan if you have it. y——The Sun will publish a series su Sunday, March 1 le Ne Pais caste ate el Mar oak ite fis dollars will be for every article published— just nes to buy . & croquet set or a new set of garden tools.
