AMERICAN NURSES FOUND IN BAGDAD
 AIDING WOUNDED

GENEVA, Switzeruand, Sept. H. A member of the Devon regiment in charge of Maxim gun section, who was severely wounded before Ragdad, writes from the Give Hos pital. Bombay, to his uncle here:
 What was our surprise on enter ing Bagdad-I went in on a stretch er-to find a number of American women awaiting us. A few wore the Red Cross badge. but have not been able to find out how the others got to Bagdad before us, because l was moved down south quickly. How kind they were to the wounded I believe they bought up the whole bazaar of fruits, flowers, sweets, to- bacco. etc, and worked hard in the heat. But as long as live I shall never forget an iced drink of clear wholesome water an American girl gave me when I was suffering from fever. have never tasted nectar, but think that was it. Think of ice after march through a hot sandy desert region. Many a Brit ish officer and man will remember those kindly American women who have saved many lives"

mind and body to the limit of vigor
 The trapshooting line at any tour nament is an interesting study. IL is composed of men of the most di verse occupations. or callings, of absolutely a variety of physical and mental attributes. yet all possess in common. steady nerves and eyes which. after all. are the best indi cations of a sound interior, and a sound mind.
 However. despite the fact that trapshooting does not impose the necessity of training constantly. or of developing the physical to an in ordinate degree. trapshooters would do we'll to observe Q few simple reg ulations in the course of their prep arations for competition. which, af ter all. are the secret of success in this life.
 The regulations are:
 l.-Practice regularly.
 2.-Eat in moderation of things you like and that agree with you.
 3.-Keep outdoors as much as pos. sible but avoid violent exercise.
 4.-Get eight hours sleep per day.
 5.-Smoke. if you want to. or drink if you are accustomed to it, but be moderate.
 6.-Don't worry.

>TRAP m%. %.0I FIELD iEi E1
By PETER P. CARNEY
Editor National Sports Syndicate

Eottor National sports syndicate
 In virtually every sport in the curriculm tons of matters have been written about the proper method of training" for the event. In this respect the word training means. not practicing. but rather physical conditioning.
 Nothing has been, said upon the subject of training" for trapshoot- ing for the very good reason that no training" is necessary in that sport in the general acceptance of the term. Good shooting does not depend upon finely-trained bodies. nerves worked to fine edge. and the perfection of wind and limb.
 There is virtually no set form of physical standard that covers the description of trapshooting cham pion. The good trapshot is the man, who after studying the game. has kept his mind and eye in good con dition. not through any special course of physical training, but by living a clean, healthy life, the only re quisites to a clear eye. and alert. ness of mind.
 In this respect trapshooting is a blessed sport. This explains why 1t can be followed virtually from the cradle to the grave. It imposes no tax on vitality. and does not place g premium upon physical atrength or. for that matter. upon the best of health. But t does gradually act as physical develop er. and remedial to the system. Fol who can spend hours out under the Qpen sky. with the sun beating dowr upon. the winds playing over them nnd not gradually be restored to

ARMY DIVISION
 TO HAVE NEARLY
 TOTAL OF 26,000

The reorganization of army di- visions for service abroad which generally has been reported as hav- ing involved a substantial reduc- tion in strength, shows on examin- atiOn that the new division will re- quire almost as many men as the division under the 1917 tables of organization.
 The new tables of organization have not yet been published. but the information given out by the Creel Committee, somewhat to the cha grin of officers connected with the Army War College, together with other information, current among army officers, shows that the new division will comprise between 26.- 900 and 26.000 men, whereas the full strength of the old division was 27,442.
 The new division will be made up practically as follows:
 Division headquarters, 12S men and officers.
 Four infantry regiments. 14.7O4.
 One brigade artillery. three regi- ments 4.3l3.
 One regiment engineers. 1,04S.
 Signal battalions, 259.
 Headquarters train and military police 3.332.
 Ammunition train, TOP.
 Supply train. 332.
 Engineer train. ITO.
 Sanitary train. 27.
 Trench mortar battery, 927.
 In addition there are ten machine companies to each division, approx mating l.50O men and many of the smaller units noted above probably will be augmented in the new ta- bles of organization which. 1t is stated. will be published shortly,
 The same battalion and company formation within each regiment will be preserved, but the strength

We know you will be interested in the new Fall suits and dresses, because the fashions are somewhat simple and yet decidedly becoming and attractive. The coats are rich, be- cause materials used are of the kind that need no trimming to make them look smart and fashion able. As for the separate waists and skirts, we find that they are to be as pop ular as ever. The skirts, by the way, are somewhat narrower than last year.
