FRENCH AND BELGIANS PUT
TO WORK BY GERMANY
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 27. — News
comes from northern Prance, as well
as from Belgium, of the increasing
number of the population who are be
ing put to work by the Germans. The
normal industries have long been
stopped, but some manufactories are
veritable beehives of activity. This is
the case, for instance, in the Lille su
burb of Fives, where French and Bel
gians are employed in the manufac
ture of ammunition.

WILD DUCKS DO NOT TAKE'
TO AEROPLANES
KIEL, Germany, Nov. 27. — Orni
thologists have discovered that the
wild duck does not like the aeroplane,
apparently taking it for some huge
bird of prey. From the North sea
coast of Schleswig-Holstein it is re
ported that the great flocks of ducks,
which in previous years stopped for
rest and food on the coastal sands and
islands on their flight from the Far
North to the South, have avoided that
region this year. The explanation of
fered is that they were frightened
away by the many aeroplanes that are
constantly scouting along the coast.

A Thanksgiving Puzzle
By GOODLOL H. THOMAS
Copyright, by American Press As
sociation.
OU’D think wo could all quite agree
“ That the turkey is merely a bird.
But peruse this and quickly you’ll see
That the species is merely inferred.
Uncle Jim, for example, will show
That our strutting, fat gobbler out there
Isn't properly classified so,
But is rather a ‘‘perfect old bear."
Sister Kate’s view is odd, to say least,
For she claims, as Thanksgiving draws
near.
She can see that for gracing a feast
Our old gobbler ’ll be simply a "dear."
But my dad has that turkey enrolled
In a family that's noted for buttin’.
Though that turk wasn’t raised in a fold,
Dad remarks, "You’re my Thanks
giving mutton."
But the turkey has sized up his kind
In a way that's most worthy of note,
For he gobbles each time he has dined,
“They are fattening me—I am the
goat."
To Stuff the “Bird."
The chestnuts for stuffing the turkey
may be the sweet little native ones or
the larger ones from the Mediterranean
countries. Cut a gash in the shell.
Brush them over with melted fat and
spread on a shallow pan in the oven
for a short time. Then tlie skins will
peel off with the shells or the nuts may
be boiled to loosen the shells

There is as much difference I n Ranges as there is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can't judge a Range
from a printed description any mor e than you can judge a horse that

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Recogni
tion for faithful servants and rewards
for those with records of longest con
tinuous service are occupying the at
tention of Washingtonians, and the
campaign, which is being conducted
by the District of Columbia Federa
tion of Women's Clubs, probably will
result in a nation-wide contest. A
prize of $10 in gold has been offered
as an award to the domestic longest
in the employ of a single family. An
other prize of $10 gold will be given
to the domestic longest in the employ
of a family for two or more genera
tions. Smaller prizes also will be
aw'arded. Entries in the contest are
swamping the Federation's headquar
ters, one showing continuous service
for as long as 47 years, several be
tween .20 and 40 years and many with
20 years' service record. Among the
entries are four servants of Mrs. John
W. Foster, wife of the former secre
tary of state, whose combined service
record shows R4 years. All the entiries
are accompanied by glowing accounts
of the good points of the servants.
