CLUB NO. IFS MEETING.

Dear Social -Cornerites: Having been asked to write about our gather ing will, says there were about forty Sisters gathered to enjoy the social time and. exchange ideas and partake of a most delicious dinner of chicken pie, that only the Scotland Sisters know how to yso deliciously prepare, with mashed potatoes, different salads, sca1loped potato, pickles, sandwiches, cakes and pies. fruit. candy and cof- fee.
 The Social Corner color was in evil dence on the table and about the room.
 Before dinner a good number were busy with their gift ft-making. or busy showing others in helpful way how to make things.
 After dinner each received a Christmas gift from the depths of a huge, yellow-trimmed basket. That was certainly drawing feature and proved amusing and pleasing.
 Selinda gave a recitation: 'I Don't Like to Talk About My Neighbors,, !, that was greatly enjoyed.

also brought warm commendation.
 The problem which the troops at field headquarters sought to solve and In which aeroplanes and trucks were used for the first time involved an at tempt to ford the Casas Grandes river at one of three points. These lords, three miles apart were defended by a regiment of infantry at war strength, a battery of field artillery and a squad ron of cavalry. The defenders also had the use of a truck train of 27 cars. Each side had one aeroplane.
 Flying about 2.500 feet above the earth, a distance considered ample since the forces had no anti-aircraft guns, Capt. Davenport Johnson, for the defenders, was able to follow the movements of the cavalry from the moment they left their base twelve where a squadron was detached to make a feint at the south ford while the main body dashed toward the north passage. His work enabled the commanding general to mass his in fantry at the ford threatened by using the motor trucks.
 The aero scout for the attackers Capt. Maxwell Kirby, had a more diff cult task. His objectives were screen ed by the trees along the river. Move ments of troops also were more or less confused with those of organizations In headquarters camp, which backed the lords. In spite of this he was able to locate the artillery where it had been concealed under the trees and to fix devnitel ythe points where the main bodies of infantry were posted.
 Both aviators were in the air four hours with only a few landings to rest them. Messages were sent by means of parachutes and smoke bombs. The task of plotting an aeroplane in pl,ffy hir, observing and writing messages taxed the pilots to the utmost Al one time there was considerable ex- citement for twas thought the air men were staging fight above the clouds. The impression was the re- suit of the closeness of the machines and the fact that bohth were firing smoke bombs.

CHEERFUL SENTIMENTS FROM

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Another year has rolled around and Christmas is with us again. I wish all the Sis ters far and near Christmas greet ing. Many things we tire of, and they grow old and become passe, but not Christmas, for its observance contin- ues and we enjoy each year the send ing of messages of good cheer ard Merry Christmas to everyone.
 Many employ themselves, their money and time in helping those who are less fortunate than themselves: and those whose pathways have been strewn with trouble, losses, cares and Rnxieties during the year.
 All take pleasure in making the younger and older members of families so happy that these days will be so impressed upon their minds that th ~ will serve as pictures which will be before us as long as we can recall the memory of happy bygone Christmas days.
 We should bear in mind that Christ mas giving does not mean rien a.ld expensive gifts. Many of moderate means and even those without morev can make gifts, for kind words and deeds are often gifts most needel. fo- 'tis the spirit in which we give, not
