New York.--A scraggly-tailed pigeon With one small leg curiously stunted Is displayed at a prominent point in the Smithsonian institution, Washington, D.

Perhaps the greatest of this small inged soldier's deeds of-devotion occurred during the terrific fighting In the Mease Afgonne. It was certainly the most costly, for It was here a bullet plowed into the bird's fluffy breast. Another tore away part of its leg. Bat through It all "President Wilson" flew on. It began at Grand Pre. Ob the •ornlng of November 5, 1918, advance units of the Americans were dismayed J» find their communication lines dead. Radio failed, too, because of the overcrowded air. At Rampont, 25 miles away, was headquarters where staff officers anxiously awaited word from Grand Pre. Between the two points lay an Inferno of fire and smoke, shot and shell. But there was no other way. The all-Important message was Intrusted te "President Wilson." Twenty-live minutes later the pantto* bird fluttered down in front of headquarters alt Rampont, the message, Intact, dangling from the torn ligaments <ef its wounded leg. Like many a human warrior "president Wilson" had been safely through the lighting from the start only to meet mishap with the armistice almost at hand. That was the faithful little flyer's fast time under fire. Nursed back to -recovery "President Wilson" for the past eleven years has been an active member off the army pigeon loft at Fort Monmouth, N.

Vist* Along the Midi Canal. qjitinsiufi h? the Natlo»%l OoocrapWc V Soclttr, VuhingtM, D. C.) CROSS southern France, where floods recently devastated a large area, lie the Lateral and Midi canals, connecting the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. A unique sightseeing trip through this delightful country can be made along these waterways in a canoe. The start is made at Bordeaux. T$$th Its almost six miles of wharfage, i^-is among the few big ports which hii^£ troubled to beautify their water frobts. Its broad, quay-paralleling thoroughfare with here a tree-shaded promenade, there a public park, and yonder a towering pair of columns dedicated to Commerce and Navigation, Illustrates for the benefit of many another slummy water front how seafreighting may bring beauty oat of business. From Bordeaux for 25 miles the Garonne river forms the waterway. The Lateral canal starts .at Castets, and parallels the river to Toulouse. Though navigation hasn't usually much to do with hills and dales, that landsman's phrase aptly describes a canal trip. The 260-mile waterway which stretches from near Bordeaux to the Mediterranean--that Is, the con- Joined routes of the Lateral and the Midi canals--Is regulated by 118 locks. These give a 620-foot drop on either side of Castelnaudary, the highest intermediate point. Thus, the canoe voyager goes "uphill" to Castelnaudary, then "down dale"" to ' ttie Medlteranriean, averaging 10^4 feet of ascent or descent each time he passes a loch. Beautiful Country. 1 : The Lateral canal leads th*Mgfcia smiling countryside of gently rippling hills and of close cultivation, with tobacco plantations and vineyards alternating. Regiments of staked vines align themselves across the fields at the queerest of angles, a planting system aimed at securing the maximum exposure of sunlight. Here and there some picturesque village, Its Fifteenth-century houses dominated by a ruined donjon, mirrors itself in the Garonne. The canal and its river feeder parallel each other for 120 miles, and It Is bnt a short stroll whenever ene wants a glimpse of the latter. Their courses intersect at Agen. One suddenly finds himself cruising between two seemingly endless walls of masonry, and the scenery begins to drop out of sight. First the trees, then the dim hillsides, sink disquletlngly away into nether space. It is the canal-carrying aqueduct, which floats barge traffic high in air across the wide valley of the Garonne. Prehistoric Neighborhood. From Agen an interesting pftgrfmage can be made to Les Eyries' grottoes where can be aeen the habitations of Pleistocene man. It was in ttye early sixties that Les Eyzies' grottoes yielded finds of flint and horn implements, human skeletons, and bones of extinct animals. Subsequently these formed a basis for calculating the chronology of the Stone age. Between the rode representations of animals, scratched by primitive man on his csve's walls, and the art which caused Moissac's cloister columns to bloom with flowerlike beauty, ilea all the mystery of the timeless miracle of mental evolution. , Long before one enters the Canal du Midi at Toulouse, one realizes how well named is France's "Midi." This Is the French word for midday. In summer and autumn It is a country of withering heat, shuttered houses, white roads, and dust-covered foliage, under a brilliant, cloudless sky. Toulouse--alas for the betraying charm of Its name!--sprawls commonplace and disconsolate-looking, as if depleted by centuries of sunstroke. Of the medieval city that was the seat of a powerful countshlp and thte scene of religious wars, little remains but St Sernin's Romanesque pile, named for St. Saturninus, who was dragged behind the bull he had refused to sacrifice on Jupiter's altar, to recall Toulouse's architectural past. Old Custom Retained. With Otte, other exception what the ^tpttor 'would expect of tha^ high-4 sounding name is discoverable Only to histories. This exception is the carious spectacle of forty citizen patrons receiving nine gold and silver flowers from La Daurade's high altar, then defiling through Toulouse to award these artificed amaranths, marigolds, and other blossoms in a poetry contest, and finally hymning a eulogy on the festival's reputed founder, Duoe Clemenc* Isaare. ,'A v • Such Is the May day' fete of the ah cient Academie des Jeux-Flor&ux. While floral festivals of varying kl^ll are held at Nice, Cations, Lyons, Cette, and in Normandy, Catlonia, and Rhenish Prussia, it is only the Toulousian event which represents an unbroken tradition of six centuries' span. At Toulouse travelers by canal leave the Lateral canal and enter the mnch older Canal du Midi. Constructed in 1666-1081, this "canal of two seas" reprfesents the earliest step* toward the present Atlantic-to-the-Rhone ltne. Beyond that 20-mlle route extend the Rhone's northern canal connections whereby barges can travel Inland from Bordeaux to varioos French channel ports. The moat recently completed canal link in southern France has opened a Marsellles-to-Calals line. This is 852 miles long, or considerably shorter than the sea route. The Canal du Midi la not only an important commerce carrier; it is among the most beautiful of French waterways. Immediately beyond Toulouse It traverses a series of woodland vistas, a ceaseless Interplay of lights, shadows and reflections, that change with each tarn of this endleasly twisting stream. The Midi canars picturesque character is due to the magnificent trees which line Its banks for more than 100 miles. Here are venerable oak glades, there alleys of plane tree*, and yonder spear-stralght pines or somber walls of cypress. Often, indeed, ranks of these different species parallel each ottier in a multiplied depth of sylvan shelter. The lovely curves and green wealth of foliage are alike due to Its planners' method of mitigating, for the benefit of barge trafhc, the sweeping winds of the region. Nothing less than the epithet **flshabillty" could convey a picture of the Midi's anglers, squatting In endless succession along the canal bank. The approach of boats scarcely stirs them from their piscine dreams. Beyond Toulouse one has left Gascony behind and Is well into Languedoc. Gsscony, Languedoc, Provence-- names how redolent of history and romance ! From many remote blood strains and from constant transpyrenean Infllttratlons has sprung up the Midi type-- dark-skinned, giowing-eyed, often Saracenlike. Busy Market-Day Seenee. Castelnaudray tempts one ashore for that busiest of sights, a market town on market day. One of Its leafy squares Is reserved for vegetable sellers, a second for poultry and game, and a third for horse dealing. Down one street come cartfuls of huge hampers containing mixed families of ducks and rabbits. Down another come peasants bicycling into town, with geese sitting sedstely srow in trays attached to the handlebars. Trade Is brisk, and by noon the world and hi* wife are walking homeward with squirming rabbits and cackling chickens under their arms. AS for the horse fairs in Rosa Bonheur's native countryside, they are just such animated sights as her famous canvases portray. Carcassonne, on tbe Midi canal, is two towns in one. The Cite is completely dissociated from Carcassone's Vlile Basse, or lower town. The former is s steep hill, its crest encircled with mighty walls, hardly less than a mile around, thronged with tall towers showing candle-snuffer tops--the epitome of high-perched, drawbridge-guarded medievalism, profiled against fleecy clouds adrift in the blue. For 15 centuries it has stood thus. The Cite of Carcassonne. Beyond the fact that the Roman empire gave self-government to Carcaso, as it was then called, and classed it as a "noble" or "elected" city, little of Carcassonne's history emerges until tbe Fifth century. It .was then that the Visigoths fortified this strategic point, which commands half a dozen Pyrenean passes, by erecting the Cite on the rains of Roman ramparts, utilising their knowledge of Roman fortifies tlons. For 1.500 years these fortification* have been accumulating the cobwebs of history. Here East met West and North met South, in the successit>n of foreign conquerors who - came and went, new besieging the Cite and now modifying it into what was acclaimed by ViolIet-le-Duc, its chief restorer, as the most picturesque and most nearly perfect example of a medieval fortress. 1 Mi Offer/ Washing with flit N EW MAYTAG TaKE advantage of our special housecleaniafc trffcr.

Sterling, 2521 Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois. Terrible pains would shoot from my shoulder to my elbow, and at times I was almost frantic. Along with this I was badly constipated, and my whole system was in a run-down condition. I had little ambition to do anything, and meals were a source of anguish. , "My father recommended Konjtna' to me because he had received such wonderful results from it. I bought three bottles and Konjola cleansed my whole system, and regulated my bowels and digestive organs so that I can eat anything I please without fear of bad results. The neuritis simply fled before the wondcSTful powers of the new remedy. 1 owe more to Konjola than I can ever tell, and I think each family should use it once a year for it is a wonderful tonic as well as a medicine." Konjola has become the most talked of medicine in the world because itt makes good. And Konjola makes good in those most stubborn cases when given a fair trial.
