HER FIRST PATIENT
American Girl Tells of Experl-
 ence at the Front"
Compelled to Hold Stretcher-Bearers to Work, Nurse Has Strenuous Time Getting Wounded Man
 to Surgeons.

An American girl who recently vol unteered for service with Red Cross ambulance in Belgium sends the fol lowing account of her first case:
 The commandant doctor with whom I was assigned to work had taken me far up toward the front. where a Belgian battery was sta toned. While he attended to some trifing injuries, there came the sound of cannonading, and news that the Germans were attacking the very sec tion where we were working.
 Suddenly, at what seemed the last minute of safety, two Belgian stretch er-bearers, without a stretcher, rushed up to me. They said there was man badly wounded somewhere up the road. l found a stretcher and went off with them to look for him.
 We went on and on. It probably wasn't more than 800 yards, but it seemed like a very long way; 1t seemed impossible to find the house. Then some women came running and pointed out the place. The stretcher- bearers hurried off with their stretch CT. 1 followed.
 The man, horribly hurt, with a wound like a red pit below his shoul- der blades, was brought and laid on the streteher He lay there quietly on his side, in a posture of utter res ignation to anguish.
 He was Belgian peasant, slums- fly built; he had broad, rather ugly face, narrowing suddenly as the fringe of his whiskers became little strag gling beard. But to me he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. 1 loved him. He was my first wound ed man!
 T tried-I still try-to persuade myself that if I hadn't bullied my two bearers and repulsed an attempt to get my stretcher away for some other patient, he would have been left behind in that little house. We got him out of the yard all right, and on the paved road. Then, to my horror, the bearers dumped him down on the paving stones. They said he was much too heavy They couldn't possibly carry him unless they rested.
 "I didn't think it was exactly the moment for resting, and told them so in several languages. The Ger mans were likely to come around the turn in the road at any time. You never know,
 Int ba Stnnd ctnIiJ1u n the middle of the road and mopped their faces and puffed. The situation began to be as absurd and terrible as nightmare. So grabbed on one end of the stretcher and said 1 would carry 1t myself. l said l wasn't very strong, and perhaps couldn't do it, but anyhow, l would try.
 They picked it up at once then, and started off at a good swinging trot over the rough paving stones, jolting my poor patient horribly. I suggested that they walk on the smooth path at the side They hailed this suggestion as a most brilliant and original idea.
 As my patient was brought into the village where the battery was stationed the ambulance had got it's wounded and was ready to go. But he had to have his wound dressed. He lay there in the middle of the street and l had to watch while the surgeon stuffed his wound with anti septic gauge. I had always supposed that the dressing of wound was a cautious and delicate process. But it wasn't. There was a careless au-

BUILT FORTUNE -oN THUMB
German Surgeon the Fortunate Pos
lessor Of Digit That Had Remark
able Pecuiiarities.

Not long ago a famous physician
In Saxony, Doctor Metzger, celebrated
his SEVENTEEN birthday. He had been
retired from active practice for some
years, owing to the fact that he had
become immensely wealthy through
the use of the wonderful thumb of his
right hand. This thumb stands u at
a right angle from his hand and, 1t is
said, cannot be bent back automatic
ally. He soo found it of great serv-
ice in massage, and when he became a
specialist In intestinal disorders he
was called as assistant to the greatest
surgeons of Europe, bringing relief to
many illustrious patients.
The queen of Roumania sent for this
doctor with the curious thumb when
she suffered from facial neuralgia,
while the late king of Sweden once
drove a beautiful span of horses over
the border Of his kingdom to consult
the doctor and on returning left the
horses as a token of gratitude to his
preserver.
There was a time. early in his ca
reer. when the use of this curious
thumb vas looked upon as a form of
charlatanism, but so we'll did Doctor
Meter establish his reputation that
the medical profession accepted his
thumb for what it was worth, without
trying to explain the phenomenon.

"Footinq II" Is Favored.

The United States public health
service has issued a warning that fail
ure to walk shortens life. The medics
make this plea for more pedestrians:
."The death rate after the age OF
forty is increasing, in spite of more
sanitary modes of living. The expec'
tation of life after forty is less than ii
was thirty years ago. This is due
largely to increased prevalence of the
diseases of degeneration.
Take daily exercise. Have a hobby
that gets you out Of doors. Walk for
the sake of walking. Join a walking
club and keep your weekly scores of
miles. Gymnasium work is good for
those who like it and can afford it, but
avoid heavy athletics. You may not
burn the family carriage, as Benjamin
Franklin suggested, but at least, as he
advised. walk, walk, walk"

GOOD MANNERS OF CHILDREN
Bad Actions Spring Almost Invariably
From careIessness and Lack of
Consideration of Mother.

Good company manners depend up
on good home manners, says a writer
in the Woman's Home Companion. AS
for table manners, the active child
who from his earliest years has been
accustomed to regular meals Of simple
food with sufficient variety for his
health and pleasure will be hungry
enough at mealtime to eat anything
that is put before him. If from the
beginning he has been encouraged by
example, then good table tanner will
be as natural as breathing. They will
be a part of him, and he will make use
of them wherever he is.
The place for a parent to begin
| training the of her child is
| with her own Whenever a
, mother complains to me of the bad
| manners of her child she is uncon-
sciously lodging a complaint against
| herself as a mother. OF course a Ger.
tain amount Of boisterousness and
| willfulness is to be expected, and
hoped for, in the child; but bad man.
ners spring almost invariably from
the carelessness, lack Of considera.
| ton, artificial ideals, lack of time
many busy mothers, it Is true, cannot
give the time they wish to their chill.
dren-of those who are responsible for
the child's training.
The old ideal of training in behavior
was based largely upon the principle
OF the child's consideration for its
elders; the modern principle demands
also the elders consideration for the
child.

Little Nellie sold matches on the

people passed and the cars and big
trucks ran back and forth. but one day

in time to run and the horses knocked
her to the pavement and the wheels
passed over her poor little legs. A

t~enderly and carried her in his arms
to a hospital that was near.
After the doctor had done all he
could to make her comfortable she
was put in a nice, clean bed in a room

Only one entirely new couture has
attracted a widespread attention this
season, and that is the Bobby" in
which the hair appears to be bobbed
off at the sides, as children wear it.
But other pretty arrangements merit
the approval that has been accorded
them. Two becoming and neat-look-
ing coiffures are shown here, suited to
those women who like simple styles
and the well-groomed look that be-
longs to carefully waved hair.
At the left is a couture which is
an inspiration of the Bobby" The
hair is parted at the middle and
waved. A little fringe across the fore
head is curled slightly, and the part
made as inconspicuous as possible by
lifting the hair at each side so that
1t lies evenly but loosely on the head.
1t Is pulled forward in front Of the
ears and lies on the cheek in a wave.
It is arranged in three fiat coils
across the back, and a fine hair net
preserves its neat appearance.
Hair nets should be drawn very
lightly over the couture and pinned
with invisible hairpins in many
places. They are not noticed when
put on in the right way, but usually
they flatten the hair by being drawn
too tightly over 1t.
At the right a waved couture is
shown parted at the side. The back
hair is arranged in a figure IS" and an
ornamented comb is thrust into the
coil. The comb is of tortoise shelll
Cor an imitation SHELF, set with small
rhinestones.
