was so low, then ut> stepped Mr. Tay-
lor, and bought all the fixtures for the
Y. M. O: A.
After that he dlokered with the
landlord, and came to an agreement
which permitted him to leave the fix-
tures where they were, to leave the
bar where It was—but to change what
passed across the bar.
That was only a little while ago.
But today, ns you mount the hill of
the town, ns you see the doors of the
bar stretching.out their invltaUon to
bring In your thirst und have It
quenched, you will see a strange
thing. Over the door you will see In
large letters the words:
The Red Triangle.
Inside, behind the bar, you will see
an American girl In the sky blue uni-
form of the canteen worker. And you
will see sailors and soldiers leaning
their elbows on the shining mahogany
end hear them say things like:
"Give us a chocolate milk-shake.”
“Make mine pineapple.”
“How’s the Y. M. special today?” ’
"Pnckage of cookies and two straw-
berry sodas.”.
Think of It! Sodas, In France! And
yet this Is only one of three places In

“You see, I figured It out this way,”
said Mr. Taylor, as he looked over the
blue-nnd-ollve-drab shoulders packed
along the bar, “I figured It out that
half the attraction of a bar Is the so-
ciability of drinking slowly and gos-

By ROY DURSTINE.
Paris.—In the very heart of a
French port town, where traffic Is
thickest, there stood a barroom. It
was Just at the point where a sailor’s
or soldier’s thirst was greatest ns he
trudged up the hill. It did a rattling
good business, such a good business
that the authorities kept a special eye
oil It.
Whenever a military policeman had
nothing better to do, he would stroll
up to this bnr to see how many men
were draped over It.
Accordingly, lta trade languished,
for there are morw desirable things to
do than to be a consistent drinker In
the most conspicuous place in town.
Before long the mndame found that
her business had fallen on evil ways.
Her success had been so great that It
It had failed!

In response to a call from the Amer-

to bind the wounds of some American
aoldler on the ground where the flax
was grown more than a century ago?
