t H VEILS Ml When the Engine Stalls on Dead Man's Curve! i I truck climb nboord their londcd ut Gundown, fifteen milca behind tho lines. Thoy rumblo through tho winding streets, out on tho white roud that leuds to Germunyl Tho mnn nt tho wheel used to bo- n broker In Phlludolphin. Beside him sits n accountant from Chicago. A news pnpor mun from tho Tucific Coast is tlio third. Now they all wear tho uni form of ono of thc3o organizations. The road sweeps round n villago and on a treo lo nailed a sign: "Attcntionl L'EnnemI Vous Voltl Tho Enemy Sees You!" They glanco far up ahead and thero, suspended In tho evening light, they see a Hun balloon. "Say, wo can sco him plain tonightl" murmurs tho accountant from Chicago. "And don't forget," replies tho Phila delphia broker, "that ho can seo U3 just us pluin." Tho packing cases croak and groan, tho truck plods on straight toward that hanging menace. Thoy roach anothor villago whero heaps of 6tono stand under crumpled walls. Then up they go, through tho strange silence broken only when a great pro jectile Inscribes Its arc of sound far overhead. They reach a turn. They tako it. They luco a heavy incline. For half ti inilo it stretches and they know tho Jennans havo tho ranpo of ovory Inch of It The mountain over there is whero the big Bodies' guns aro fired. This incline is their target. Tho tlireo mon on tho truck bring up their gas masks to tho alert, sottlo their stool holmets closer on their heads. At first tho camion holds its speed. Then It slackens off. Tho drivor grabs his gearshift, kicks out his clutch. The engine heaves and heaves and stalls! "Quick! Spin ill" calls tho driver. The California journalist has jumped. He tuga at tho big crank. " Wh-r-r-r-r-r-r-room I " The sholl breaks fifty yards behind. Another digs a hole besida tho roud Jut on uhead. And then tho engino comes to life. It crunches, groans and answers. Slowly, with muddoning lade of husto, it rumbles on. "Wh-rr-ooml" That ono was closo behind. Tho fragments of tho shell ore rattling on the truck. Now shells aro falling, further back along tho road. And tho driver feels tho summit us his wheels begin to pick up speed. Straight down a villago street In which tho buildings nro only skeletons of buildings. Ho wheels Into tlio court yard of u groat shell-torn chateau. "Well, you mndo It again 1 6cel " says a smiling face under a tin hat a faco that used to look out over a congrega tion in Rochester. "Ycpl" says tho driver glancing nt his watch. "And wo camo up Dead Man's Curvo In less than thrco minute3 including ono stulll" Lotor that night two American boys, fresh from tho trenches bordering that shattorcd town, stumble up tho stairs of the chateau, into a sandbagged room whero tho Rochester minister has his canteen. "Get any supplies tonight?" thoy ask. "You botl did!" Istheunswcr, "What will you havo?" "What's those? (Tanned peaches? Gimme some. Pockngo of American cignrottes let's seo an' n coke of chocolate an' somo of them cookies!" "Gosh!" says tho othor youngster when his wants nro filled. "What would wo do without you?" You hear that up and down tho front, a dozen times a night "What would wo do without them?" Men and women in these organiza tions are risking their lives tonight to carry up supplies to the soldiers. Trucks and camionettes nro creeping up as close as any transportation Is permitted. From there these peoplo aro carrying up to the gun-nests, through woods, across open fields, Into the trenches. The boys aro being served wherever they go. Things to eat, things to read, things to smoke, nro being carried up everywhere along tho line. With now troops pouring Into France, now supplies must bo sent, more men and women by tho hundreds must bo enlisted. Thoy aro ready to give every thing. Will you give your dollars to help thorn help our men? UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN T 7 LAUREL LODGE No. 186 I. O.

No Mystery in Meat Some things are so simple that they have to be explained again and again. When things are obvious, people keep looking for mysteries behind them. So it is with the packing bus iness. The mere size of Swift & Company confuses many. Because their imaginations are not geared up to scale, they be lieve there must be magic in it somewhere some weird power. Swift & Company is just like any other manufacturing business run by human beings like yourself; it takes in raw material on the one hand and turns out a finished product on the other. Swift & Company keeps down the "spread," or the expense absorbed be tween raw and finished material, to as low a figure as possible. (If it didn't it would be put out of business by others who do.) How much Swift & Company pays for the raw material, and how much it gets for the finished product, depends upon conditions which Swift & Company does not control. It depends entirely upon how much people want the finished product, and how much raw material there is avail able to make it from. The profits of Swift & Company amount to less than one cent per pound on all meats and by-productsless than one-fourth of a cent on beef.
