HOOK FIVE—CHAPTER X After breakfast Claude reported to Headquarters and talked with one of the staff Majors. He was told he would have to wait until tomorrow to see Colonel James, w ho had been lal'ed to Paris for a general confer-, etice. He had left In his car at 4 that morning. In response to a tele phone message. "There s not much to do here, by way of amusement," sanl the Major "A movie show tonight, and you can 1 get anything you want at the n taniinet. the one on the square, op posite the English tank, is the best There are a couple of nice French women in the Ked Cross barrack, up on tlte hill, in the old convent garden. They try to Jook out for the , iviitan population, and we're on good terms with them. We get their supplies through with our own. and the qtiai termaster has orders to help them when they run short. Yon might go up and call on them. They speak English perfectly.” Claude asked whether he could walk In on them without any kind of introduction. ‘Oh, yes. they're used to us! I 1! give you a card to Mile. Olive though. She's particular friend of mine. There you are: 'Mile. Olive de Courcy. in troducing. eta.' And. you under stand.” here he glanced up and look ed Claude over from head to foot "she's a perfect lady." Even with an introduction. Claude felt some hesitancy about presenting himself to these ladies Perhaps they dldn t like Americans, he «>■ always sfraid of meeting French people who didn't*. It was the same way with moat of the fellows'in his battalion, he had found: they were terribly afraid of being disliked And the mo ment they felt they were disliked, they hastened to behave as badly as possible. :n order to deserve It; then they didn't feel that they had been taken In—the wont feeling a dough boy could possibly have! Claude though! he would stroll about to look at the town a little. It had l>een taken by the Germans in ihe autumn of 1914. after their re treat from the Marne, and they had held it until about a year ago when it whs i eta ken by ihe Knglish and the Chasseurs d Alpins They had been abb to redlh e it and* to drive the Germans out. only by battering it down with artillery; not one building retrained standing Ruin was ugly, and it was nothing more. Claude was thinking, a« he fol lowed the paths that ran over piles pf brick and plaster There was noth ing picturesque about this, as there was in the war pictupies one saw at home. A cyclone or a fire might have done just as good a Job. The place was simply a great dump heap; an exaggeration of those which disgrace the outskirts of American towns. It was the ,--ame thing uvei and over; mounds of burned brick and broken stone, heaps of rusty, twisted iron, splintered beams and rafters, stag nant pools eellai holes full of muddy water. An American soldier had , stepped into one of those hotel » fe* I nights before, and been drowned This had been a rich town of I• low inhabitant*, now the civilian pop ulation w«* about <00. There wet*' people there who had hung on all through the yean of German occupa tion: others who, ui soon ns they heard that the enemy was driven out * nine back from w herever they had found shelter. They were living in cellars, or h| little wooden ban ark* made from old umlrer* and American goods boxes. As he walked along. Claude rend familiar n.ime* and nd dtesae*. painted on i>oard» built Into thesides of these frail shelters: "From Kmery Bird. Thayer company. Kan sas City, Mo." "Daniels and Fisher Denver. Colo." These inscriptions cheered him so much that lie began to feel like going up and culling on the French ladies The sun had come out hot after lines days of rain. The stagnant v iols and the weeds that grew- in the ditches gave out a rank, heavy smell. Wild fc were grew triumphantly over the i iler of rotting wood and rus.y Iron: cornflowers and Queen Anne's lac e and poppies: blue and white and red. a; if the French colors came up spontaneously out of the French soil, no matter what the Germans did to It. Claude paused before a little shanty built against a half-demolished brick wall. A gilt cage hung In the door way, with a canary, singing beauti fully. An old woman was working in the garden patch, picking out bits of brick and plaster the rain had washed up. digging with her Angers around I tie pale carrot-top* and neat lettuce head*. Claude approached her. touch td hi* helmet, and naked her how one I could rind the way to the lied CroM. She wiped her hand* on her apron and look him by the ellmw. "Vou* saver. le tanb Anglais' Non ’ Marie Mailer' tll« learned afterward that every on# wa* directed to go th:a way o that from a disabled Hriti*h tank that bad been left on the site of the old town hall.) A little gir1 -an out of the barra'k, and her grandmother told her to go at once and take the American to the lied Cross. Marie put her hand In Claude's and led him off along one of the palhs that wound among the rub blah She took him out of the way to ibow him a church, evidently otte of the ruins of which they were proud est. where the blue *ky was whining through the white acrchea. The Vir gin stood with empty anna over the centra! door: a little foot sticking to Iter robe showed where the infant Jtaus had been shot away. "J.e bebe e*t ca«*e. rriai* il a protege -a mere," Marie explained with sifia faction. As they went on. she told Claude that she had a soldier among the American* who was her friend "II est bon. il est gai, mon aoldat." but he sometime* drank too much a! coho), and that was a bad habit.

China Overcomes Milk Prejudice Ancient Tradition Forbade L*e of Lactial Fluid on Decree of Empress. Thai milk consumption in China has for centuries been retarded because of an ancient law. but that thi* law has been set aside because modern China has come tp realize the importance of milk in the diet, is the basis of an in teresting comment by William Sacha -, salesmen ager. of the O. W. Eldndge Broke: age company, local leprescnta live of the Borden company. It seems that some hundied years ago an empress'of China allowed her feelings to overrule her better jydg ment and forbade, by an imperial d< cree, the use of milk for human con sumption. She firmly believed that r.atuie provid'd milk for the young calves snd buffalo, and that when tha milk was used by h»r a bjects. these poor animal* suffered. And so, for years millions of f'ineie hames were sacrificed in order that hte calves might not auffer. But China has begun to realize that milk la natures most comple’e food. Reports indicate that the quan tity of condensed milk exported to Chi na is rapidly increating, and has al ready reached a tremendous volume. Thi* is certaiq to result in a better and stronger race of Chinese, for the value and importance of condensed ^wlk ss a food was plainly demon suited by the Belgian Relief commu alon during the war.

Inc., Completes New Office Building in Detroit, Mich. Importance placed on advertising today as an aid to sale* a illustiated in the growth of MacManus Ineor porated advertising agency, which I last week completed a large addition j to its building in Detroit. Ma< .Manus Incorporated started ns such in 1916. being the outgrowth of several previous Detroit, Toledo ar.J Chicago advertising agencies with which Theodore K. Mac.'fanus was' associated. Mr. MacManus went to. Detroit from Toledo in 1910, beginning busi ness in Detroit as the MacManus company. The lapid growth of tad* Mat Manus organization is shown in a comparison of the number of pei sen s cn its staff .n 1916 and now Seven years ago the staff comprised 14 persons Today there sre 61. and. to serve further those clients with large interests in and around New York City, a bianco offli e is maintain ed there. When the piesent company was foimed, it handled automobile ac counts almost exclusively. Today it writes and places a greater volume of motor tar advertising than ever befdre but to Its automobile accour s , have been added products In numt. ous other lines. Mr. MacManus live >ears ago was offeied a six figure retainer If he would divide his time between De troit antf Chicago. He refused it. Three years ago he was offered an other annual guarantee In six flgur- s with a three year contract for hand ling one advertising account. He el so declined that because. It involved ' giving up a smaller account.
