THE CAR OF THE HOUR
A
DUSTY courier slid off his motor-cycle at the big: double hut
in a French town and tramped up to the canteen.
“Got a note for the secretary from my commanding officer,”
he said. He handed a piece of paper across the counter to a smiling
middle-aged man.
This is the note the Secretary read:
Can you

supplies, especially w ritin g
p ap er f Thim la the firs t chance the bays have had
to w rite home and w e have no pap er to give them .
The older man looked up and grinned.
“Got you away off in this woods, have they?“
“I’ll say they have!.“
“Can ydu carry anything?“
“All you'll give m e!“
From the shelves the secretary took big packages of paper and
envelopes.
“Too much?“ He asked.
“It will be gone ten minutes after I get back!“ said the boy.
“Tonight,“ the secretary went on, T il drive out a truck
with more supplies and a man to stay with you. And tell the boys
that if their letters are finished, 1*11 bring them back with me tonight,
and get them into the mails.**
An hour later that motor-cyclist whizzed into camp, loaded
down with writing paper, and in ten minutes letters were being
written to 300 American homes.
The United W ar Work organizations know what letters mean
to American soldiers. They know that fighters want to get letters
and want to write letters.
So in every hut and on every ship your boys find writing paper,
envelopes, ink, pens and pencils, and tables where they can get off by
themselves and tell the folks back home how things are going.
Millions of sheets are given away free every week to American
boys overseas. That is why the letters you get from your boy are
written on the stationery of one of these organizations. It is one of

War Gas Causes Appendicitis.
The various poison gases so much
In use at present at the European
battle cone are not only breathed, but
are swallowed. This might seem
strange at first, but the likelihood of
swallowing some amount of a gas im
pregnating the atmosphere may readily
be seen. This might take place Inci
dental to the Intake of food and both
to normal and convulsive actions of
the throat. Such swallowing of toxic
vapors causes a variety of digestlonal
disturbances, according to the amount
of gas Ingested.
According to an article In the Jonr-
nal de Medeclne
Ohlrurgle
Pratique, appendicitis has been found
caused by swallowed gas. especially
when the gas contains chlorine. The
progress of the malady was rapid, but
rather nfild, and treatment was effec
tive.

senses could say he enjoyed the war;
