Two Privates' Dreams of Home
Cooking Shattered When
They're Returned to Fort.

Their dreams Of mother and home
cooking. after months of barrack life
and army chow rudely shattered by
the unromantic police Of Newark, New
Jersey. Private Herman Hampstead and
his cousin, Ralph II. Mckenzie. of Bat
terry ''E," Third Field Artillery, were
taken without ceremony from freight
train and held as deserters.
Roth told touching stories of their
lorg!ngs for sight of home. their hav-
ing but money enough to take one of
them, and their decision to ride the
bumpers northward rather than sepa-
rate
Army authorities. with whom the po-
lice communicated. confirmed the
story of the two men, and they were
accordingly turned over and started
back to Fort Myer without having
even smelled the good things which
they had anticipated so keenly.
Al Fort Myer II was laughingly stated
by the adjutant that the TWO men were
old offenders and he didn't think they
haG ever suffered TO any great extent.
He described them as chronic wander
lusters," and added that he believed
tier punishment for overstaying their
leave would not be too severe. Their

more with the idea OF gaining help
toward that home feed" than from
any fear of Incarceration.

There is no nation in which the

the skins are as fair and clear. I'm
der perfect. natural conditions a well
balanced life would guarantee a beau
tiful and healthy skin. But the or
dinary social and economic American
life OF today forces the system to fur
nish so much vital force for action
that nerves. eyes and compilations all
suffer. In addition TO this strain many
women further abuse their skin by
covering it with pore-clogging pow
der instead OF doing the wise thing
that is. using a lotion which pro-
tects and smooths. without choking
the pores.
The reason compilations suffer so
much in summer is because powder
does not offer sufficient protection

from the elements. but in itself is
bea autifier of great worth. To prepare
