Just before the latest push around
fpres, there was a particular Minnie
located few miles from Ypres, which
was more than usually nuisance. The
British trench was not well sited, nor
very well protected. Consequently
when Minnie was active, she made
things very uncomfortable for the oc-
cupants of that British trench. More
over, she had no regular habits, she
worked on no plan, ladylike she did
Just about as she wished
The young British subalterns hated
her with a persistent, pervading ha-
tired, and concocted many schemes for
her undoing, but to no avail. But one
night, chance brought into the trench
a very irritable old artillery officer,
just as Minnie was active. One of
Minnie's puddings soiled his boots, and
thereby aroused in him q grim deter
mination to devote himself to her de-
struction.
He stayed in the trench all that
night, studying Mihnie's location and
characteristics, and on the morrow he
returned, followed by his orderly, un.
coiling a wire as he walked. At the
trench end of the wire temporary tel
ephone was fixed. The far end of the
wire led back mile and a half to a
battery of field artillery.
Along about noon Minnie opened up
for her midday strafe. Promptly the
artillery officer verified his observa-
lions of the night before and spoke a
few figures into the telephone. A min.
ute later a loud boom announced the
arrival of a British shell just across
on the other side of No Mans Land.
The British officer swore softly, and
spoke again into the telephone. The
first shell had been at least thirty
yards off. The second was perhaps 20
yards on the other side. Again the
officer spoke into the telephone, and

Headquarters Friday

MINIMUM AGE LIMIT
Is SIXTEEN YEARS
Fifteen Hours OF Lectures
And Demonstrations Make
Up The Course

One of the most interesting phases
of the local Red Cross will be the class
es in first aid which are to be organ
lied at once. The purpose of the first
aid division in offering these courses
of instruction is as follows: First, to
prevent accidents by the education of
individuals and then, recognizing that
accidents happen in spite of all pre-
cautions, 1t aims to teach emergency
measures to laymen for use in case of
need. 1Ais teaching does not prepare
student to rival physician, but sim
ply to take his place until he can be
summoned
There are many cases in which
prompt emergency treatment will save
life and others in which it will prepare
the way for a more satisfactory recov-
cry than would be possible without it.
Glasses may consist of not less than
five or more than twenty-five, but the
most desirable size is ten or fifteen. Ii
is not necessary to be a member of
the Red Cross to join these classes.
The minimum age limit Ms 16' years.
The class first meets elects presi.
dent or secretary, and then selects a
certified physician to act as instructor
The name OF the physician,.is then sub
mitted to Washington and approved by
the first aid division, and on approval
card of authorization will be received
and the class may begin work at once
The course consists of not less than
ten lectures and demonstrations of | b
