AN English army officer just from
Chilli says: ''As fighters the Chilians
are brave lot of fellows. There is no
such thing as funk among them, and
all they need to win victories is good
leaders. They are naturally inclined

THAT fashionable school of girls,
Agontz, is said to have running class

run for a mile or two every morning.
American girls no longer allow it to be
truthfully said that English women ex-
Gel them in their devotion to physical

men. They can walk as far and row
as we'll as most of the young men. The
American girl allows no other girl in

their stronghold. This year they turned
out Z, 500, 900 bushels, and Of this 8, 500, :
