every morning she prayed to Fuj

last her prayer was answered. The
wife while Draying saw a flittering
light that moved about here aii|d

Toe fairy said, "I am a child of

Aviation Service.
Establishment of a field bakery on a
Mexican plantation near headquarters
of the American troopers pursuing
Pancho Villa has released for other
work half a dozen automobiles which
have been distributing broad baked on
the United States border among the
columns of the expedition.
The new field kitchens, comprising
two ovens, each nearly the size of a
garage, are capable of turning out
5.400 one pound loaves of bread a day.
A one pound loaf of army bread Is a
day's ration for a soldlor In the field.
It Is about the size of a derby hat,
but not so symmetrical.
The bread baked at the new ovens
is from native Mexican flour, the first
obtained by the expeditionary col
umns. The ovens were made of native
brick and adobe mud. Each oven has
a large firebox, Inclosed on all sides
by very thick brick and mud walls.
A wood fire is built In this box, burn
ing for about an hour, until the tem
perature is about 000 degrees.
Whatever the outcome of the chase It
is evident that the army in Mexico un
der General Pershing is getting an ac
'tual test of the military inventions un
^ der_servlce conditions.
More toan one type of motor truck Is
In use among the fifty-four machines of
this class doing transport duty. Theso
trucks are under test In a country with
out roads, where hill and mountain
climbing on rocky trails Is necessary If
the army Is to subsist. The big trucks
not only have dene all expected of
them, but In several respects they have
outdone the famous lighter makes of
automobiles In pacenuiklng under dif
ferent conditions.
Work In Aviation Service.
The aviation service is working: un
der conditions calculated to bring out
sharply fcvery necessity which may be
considered in increasing the aeroplane
establishment Tho army In the field
already has met the problem of living
in a country which is practically with
out salt Even the scanty food sup
plies which were anticipated in the
devastated Chihuahua districts have
not all materialized. Most of the avail
able pork, for example, has been found
Infected with trichinae. These and
other incidents have complicated an al
ready difficult transportation situation,
throwing: the army upon- its own re
sources to work out quick substitutes
for the ordinary means of subsistence.*
Practically, however, it is understood
that the field forces by hard work, en
durance of the cavalrymen and horses
and the remarkable marching powers
displayed by the infantrymen have
mpde up for a considerable part of this
handicap. Adaptability of the troops
to emergencies displayed under the
tests of this campaign has furnished
many practical object lessons as to the
length to which American armies can
be driven on forced marches without
loss of organization or danger to the
men. These troops made record march
es during their first day out; but, ac
cording to the reports reaching here
and the evident physical hardness of
the men in the base camps, the men
are in condition not only to repeat but
to exceed'their past performances.
Humor lit Camp Life.
In spite of campaign hardships the
camp life in Mexico is beginning to
produce its round of humorous soldier
stories. A Chinese laundrymnn, a resi
dent of Mexico, establishing Ws^busi
ness near a camp, •proceeded to
attempt "to build his shack over and
around the army telegraph wire. He
intended to use the wire to hang
clothes on. An officer stopped him be
fore the shack was up.
Duck shooters and oUier pothunters
along the 250 miles of line communica
tion have disturbed the pack train
teamsters, who have tried to spread ru
mors that the sportsmen were at the
least hostile armies. However, staff
officers after investigation found that
neither the supplies of game nor the
teamsters had been menaced. One of
the infantry regiments went on a rab
bit drive near a camp, obtaining nearly
a rabbit per man.
During the rest hours In camp among
the soldiers hardly a word of discus
sion about the significance of thlB Mex
ican expedition is heard. The officers,
however, discussed the Mexican situa
tion guardedly from many angles, but
all of those in camp were outspoken
about one desire—namely, to hurry
southward.
creek water and obtain water from
shallot wells dug since the ba^e was
established. The change was not made
on account of fears gf the purity of
the creek water, but for convenience.
[ The clear creek wltji the rocks nt the
bottom showing beneath a considerable
! depth of wuter has been a constant
temptation to the men of all commands
for swimming. Now each organisation
has a swimming hole, where all day
long yells Induced by icy plunges are
heard and where there is a constant
line of men attending to their daily
clothes .wash.
New Usa F<?r Peanuts.
Here is a new use for peanuts- Says
a doctor: "Eat a handful of peanuts
before retiring. They quiet the nerves
of the stomach." What do yon think
about that? Isn't that a rather Inter
esting sleeping potion? Then we ara
also told to est them after each meal
as an aid to digestion, provided they
are fresh roasted. Bought salted pea
nuts are good, but homemade ones are
better. So easily prepared. It U n
wonder more people do not try them.
