Comnanv Exclusively of Poles.

Company X of Milwaukee, First Wis
consin, consists of Poles. 1t was or
ganized fifty years ago by Theodore
Rosinski. 1t is known as Kosciusko's
company. Forty per cent of its 12O
members were born in Poland. Chap
lain Henry piasecki said 1t was an
ancient custom of his company not to
permit any but Poles to join and that
they kept up the custom out of defer
ence TO hundreds of previous members
now dead.
$50 many Poles try to join now that
we are full, and turn them over to
other companies of the regiment" said
the chaplain.
"They are scattered through the Wis
consin troops.
"We found a Polish church in San
Antonio, and the church folk are get
ting together automobiles, wagons and
all kinds of rigs to take us to church
next Sunday"
One couldn't imagine he was any
where but in the American army. Such
a thing couldn't happen In any other
army in the world, or in any other
place than America. Wisconsinians
say the American government has de-
clared the Wisconsin militia to be the
model for the country. This Polish
company for three years in succession
has taken the first Wisconsin prize for
field work. Splendid soldiers they are,
thoroughly American, but adding varie-
CATION to Uncle Sans storm coat.

When you get up In the morning
After hours of gay delight
And you're thinking OF OLD Broadway,
With its gay and glittering light.
Just sit down and write q letter
To some homesick soldier boy,
For to him there's nothing better
Than little note of Joy.
When you've had your lunch at Sherry's
And are lingering o'er the wiae
And you're tired Of life and living
And think the world unkind.
Just take up your pen and paper,
Write about the girls and boys.
For the soldier lad waits eager
For his little note OF Joy.
All. there's many lad gets gloomy
When the letters fail to come;
l can see 1t In their faces
This and that and t'other one
For they have as many worries
For the folks back home. you see,
As the folks back home have worries
For the boys OF Company G.
So Just scribble something cheerful
When II comes to you at night
Or in the early morning,
When the sun is shining bright
But be sure the old pen staggers
Just with news to cheer the boy,
For the soldier lad who's waiting
For his little note OF Joy.

FOR IRONING DAY.
Hints That Help Make sugbear n
Day of Ease.

Hints That Help Make Bugbear n
Day of Ease.
With the onslaught of warm weather
and the wearing of wash dresses IRON
ing day becomes an important feature
of the week. Even the girl who presses
her own blouses and handkerchiefs has
to consider it seriously, so it may not
come amiss to give a few hints about
keeping the iron in good condition.
Never put hot iron on the back Of
the range unless you stand it on end
or lay it on its side, for 1t will other
wise collect any tiny particle Of grease
or stove black that it comes in contact
with. Rub your irons vigorously be-
fore you put them on to heat with a
piece Of ordinary pumice stone slightly
dampened. This not only removes all
particles of dirt and rust, but polishes
them and makes them iron smoothly.
When you are ironing starched
clothes be sure to put a handful Of
salt on to piece of newspaper and
rub your iron in this from time to time
to remove the starch that adheres to
the hot metal
In pressing crepe de chine, georgette
crepe or any thin silk use an iron that
is fairly cool, as a very hot iron wrin-
kles the material and takes the color
out In pressing ribbons wipe them
with a cool iron, using piece Of linen
or handkerchief to protect the rib
bon. A dampened ribbon ironed with
hot iron will turn very stiff, but If
! a fairly cool one is used will remain
supple and smooth.
If you want white shirt waist fairly
stiff, but not starched, iron 1t with
hot iron while it is very wet. Pongee
also must be ironed while wet, as
otherwise it will not be spotless. If
you want the pongee very soft, how
ever, let it dry and then iron 1t without
sprinkling. using strength to press out
the wrinkles. Never dampen pongee
as the spots win show.
If you want to keep your plated
frills looking like new, baste the bot.
tom or the edge into place before you
wash them, the Dlaits can thus lie
readily ironed back into place, and
then the bastlng may be removed

Men Cannot Ride.

large percentage of the men of the
signal corps company, o. NJ. d. c., en-
camped at Warren, Ariz., have lot to
learn about horseback riding. This
was evident when the first section of
the company took its first field practice
on horseback 1t developed that a
number of the men never had done any
real horseback riding and that they
knew practically nothing about sad
ding horse. Captain Terry, com
manding the company, is not bit dis
couraged. however, for he knew that
among the men of his company who
are experts in telegraphy and other
signaling work there were many who
were versed in caring for and riding
a horse.
Some of the men had to be taught
how to put bride on their horse, and
practically all of them needed instruc-
ton in the art Of saddling their mount
properly. The only men who were able
to do this unassisted were those who
have been in camps before with the
company and one or two others who
were born and raised in the west and
know how to handle horses.
The first group of men of the com
pany to go into the field on horseback
was a section composed of men select
ed from the four sections of the COM
pany. Captain Terry went along to in
struct the men. Sergeant Tiller, stable
sergeant of the company, also went
