Since the armistice was signed, French soldiers have been fighting in Syria and Cilicia, and engaged in guerilla warfare in Morrocco. All soldiers and sailors of the Jew ish faith were granted furloughs to participate in the celebrations of New Year and Day of Atonement. Up to August 7, the bodies of 2,891 American soldiers who died overseas had been returned to the United States and 1,338 were enroute to this coun try for reburial. With a membership of 2,616, the Thomas Dixmude Post, No. 52, in Houston, Texas, claims record of hav ing the largest American Legion Post in the United States. Bituminous coal prices in France are ten times what they were before the war.. Engineers represented nearly one- tenth of the whole American Expedi tionary Force. Profits of the World War have made no less than 20,000 millionaires in the United States. Two hundred and fifty-three colleges and universities in the United States have military training. Official reports of battles being fought in Europe are still being issued weekly by the British War Office. In one month of the World War 12,- 710,000 rounds of artillery ammuni tion were fired by the Allied armies.

Explosive shells of crude contruc- tion were first used in warfare during the middle of the sixteenth century. Hollow balls of stone or cast iron filled with gunpowder were employed. The Motor Transport Corps and the Transportation Service are no longer separate units of the United States Army. These army divisions have been merged into the Quartermaster Corps. More artillery ammunition was ex pended in one month of the World War than in the entire periods of the America Civil War, the Franco- Prussian War and the Russo-Japanese War combined. War service chevrons can no longer be earned by American soldiers. The issuance of chevrons to the forces now occupying German territory along the Rhine stopped on August 1.

Coal supplies the fuel for one, and gas for the other. So far as the use of these two fuels is concerned, it is exactly as though you had a coal range and a gas range. The difference is that they occupy the same floor space instead of oeing two separate ranges in two different parts of the kitchen. You may use the coal and the gas at the same time, or either one with out the other. You have gas in warm weather and coal in cold weather. But at any time you wish to do more baking or more cooking, you have the advantage of using both fuels and both ovens at the same time. It responds to your cooking art sp quickly and efficiently, you will find that cooking is one of the greatest pleasures in your home. jTl Sutifl . , Call and See Them and yon will understand at once why a Glenwood Range “Makes Copking Easy” - , I •: . _
