Flivver That Was What ‘Tough Guy’ Proved to Be When Danger Rose.

Some of the tough guys in JVorld. war were not so tough when Danger reared its terrifying head, and one of them is shown in today’s series of war stories.

Send in your story to The Times World War Contest Editor. Make them short, so every one will get a; chance to see his experiences In print. * m Henry A. Walsh, 118 Virginia avenue, spins one about the ' ‘hard guy” who lost his crust in the pinch. IT was May 10, 1918, when we shoved off for France on the iTincess Matoko. After we got aboard and were given quarters in the fifth hatch, right at the water line, they put a fellow named Phillips, 45 years old. an I. W. W. and supposed to be tough, in with us. A young fellow named Carter, from Connecticut, and I slept together. The orders were that from 4 to 8 at night we could go on deck. Phllllips was hard to get along with—a bulldozer and a braggart from '‘away out west.’’ He was supposed to be game. One afternoon we were all on deck having a vaudeville show, | when all at once the bells gave warning of a sub sighted. The large guns got to going. Carter and I noticed Phillips was showing yel- : low. We weren’t any of us feeling the best at that time. That night Carter and I were two of the eight to go up on deck about 11 p. m. Carter remarked that Phillips was not over the experience yet. It was dark in the hole as Carter and I got to our bunks. Someone asked, ‘‘How does it look on deck?” Carter replied, so the tough guy could hear, “They say there are j subs all around us. From way back In the comer j came a voice, “Naw! Who In the he is that fresh guy? Don’t j you know there is a lot of kids In! this outfit?" Who do you think It was? n a a A punch in the nose for a Britisher is described by Virgil T. Jones, 2108 Shelby street. THE First division was pulling Into the Soissons sector in July, 1918. just before the big drive. We had pulled to one side of the road to rest a few minutes. While we were there, an English outfit came up, also stopping to rest. One of the English soldiers came ; over and asked a sergeant of my outfit for a cigaret. After the ser- | geant had given it to him, the Englishman said. “Say Yank, when are you bloody Americans going to start fighting?” The sergeant looked up at him and said, “Right now, you son-of-a-gun.” And punched the English soldier In the nose. n m m Among the strange sights seen in the ivar by Sergea.it Ed J. Walsh, 819 Bradshaw street, who was with the fifteenth Company, Second regiment, aviation, was a hog with more bones than a fish. IT was at Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, in December, 1917, and my second day. I was put on K. P. r This particular day they had pig knuckles for dinner. We had a large mess hall tliat held about 2.000 soldiers. I was detailed to clean up the tables fter mess. A young fellow working with me, after seeing all the bones piled on the tables, remarked, in a very sarcastic voice, “By Gawd! This is the first time I even knew that a hog had more bones than a fish.”

The HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION is filled with events showing the desire of man for more and more light Six thousand years ago the cave man’s pine torch was succeeded by the hanging fire basket, which was followed by the first crude oil lamp. Colored saucer oil lamps were buried in the Pyramids with Egyptian kings, to light their way to heaven. The Dark Ages represent not only a temporary check in the advance of civilization but literally an age of gloom. There was a retrogression to crude and ineffective means for supplying artificial light. It was not until 1753 that Argand invented an oil lamp with a hollow cylindrical flame, protected by a chimney made of a broken bottle. In iSO4, Albert Winsor gave an exhibition of gas lighting in the Winsor Theater, in London. Electric lighting started with the “eleptric arc” of Sir Humphrey Davy about 1801, but it was only a brilliant and expensive laboratory experiment. It was not until 1879 that the world was assured of artificial light by electricity, developed by Thomas A. Edison. Let us show you how to gain most effectively a luminous harmony in the home.

Two More Victories BY YANLAC OVER "RHEUMATISM" AND STOMACH AILMENTS

Only Medicine That Does What It Claims says Nicholas J. Jansen ft L You folks who have tried medicine after medicine without benefit, take heart. Read this letter of Mr. N. J. Jansen and then let your conscience be your guide. "Before starting Tanlac,” said Mr. Jansen, "I was very rundown and suffered terrible agony from pains in every bone in my body. My back hurt until I felt it was pulling in two. My appetite was very poor and gas would form on my stomaeh and 1 would bloat until I thought I would burst. I couldn't aleep and didn't care whether 1 worked or not. I tried medicine after medicine and none gave me relief untQ 1 started taking Tanlac and this is the only medicine that does what it claims. Now I feel fine in every way. Pains no longer trouble me, my appetite is good, I sleep good and get up in the morning feeling like anew person."

Neuritis and Stomach Gas Ended For This Lady You may think because you have been suffering so long and terribly that nothing will help you now. Bat yon cannot read this letter of Mr*. Margaret Wallace without believing that there is hope for you, too, in Tanlac. “All the good things I could say about Tanlaa would not express my true eentimenta. For 13 years I suffered stomach trouble* worse thau anybody it seems to me. Gases filled and smothered me causing a pain around the heart and the pain would extend to my back and shoulders and then turn into neuritis. I suffered awfully. Whatever I ate resulted in heartburn. Tanlac is the only medicine that could cope with such severe troubles as mine. It relieved me fully, my stomach is in best condition in 13 years, no longer causing acid, gases and heartburn. 1 *

For the first time since their election city councilmen split into two distinct factions Monday night when the ordinance approving the police automobile tow-in and storage contract was passed by a 5-4 vote.
