ARE SHELTERS
PARIS, May 14.—Parisians are
"digging in” to avoid the bombs ol
the German air-raiders. Trench shel
ters, it is announced, will be con
structed along the Champs Elysees,
in the Bois de Boulogne, in the Bois
de Vincennes and in all the public
squares.
These are intended as refuges for
persons in quarters where strongly
vaulted cellars are not accessible,
Their construction will give the peo
pie of the French capital more than
ever the conviction that Paris is now
a part of the heroic front.
More than 3,000 cellars already are
in use as places of refuge during air
raids and the authorities havo given
their aproval of them as safe even if
the houses over them should be de
stroyed by airmen’s bombs. Some of
these cellars shelter as many as 100
persons. Many of them are connect
ed with another cellar by a passage
so as to afford an exit if flooded by
broken water pipes or filled with gas
from broken gas mains.
Some are equipped with tools for
repairing broken pipes.
mifflS ties
FOR OUILDINO PURPOSES
FORT HANCOCK, Tex., May 14.—
Condemned and discarded railroad
ties have been utilized by the Ameri
can soldiers stationed here to build
semi-permanent houses for the head
quarters and other buildings of the
army camp patrol headquarters. The
ties are stood on ends to make the
walls of the houses and discarded
railroad rails are used for the rafters.
Ties are then laid over these to form
the flat roof and a coating of adobe
mud spread over these clinked tias
to make tho roof water tight. The
cross tie houses are more comfort
able in winter and summer than
tents. The orderly room, the day
room and canteen and the quarter
master supply room are all made of
these materials, the canteen having
a brick floor and plastered roof. This
lounging room is equipped with a
phonograph, a library, a barber shop
and a soft drink stand for the con
venlence of the soldiers off duty.
