sHappiest Boy in the WOrld'
 With Both Legs Broken in War

Longing for his mothers cooking Aubrey Mcleod, the first American casualty in France, is on his way home. He lost both his legs when g German airplane dropped bomb or base hospital where he was on guard.
 Mcleod is former student of Pur- due university and a resident of Bos- ton. He served in an Indiana battery on the Mexican border last year. He speaks of himself as "the happiest boy in the world." Those who have met him declare that he is "the nerv- fest boy in the world"
 Calling him "our first blesse, ' Howard Kahn of the National War Work council of the Y. M. c. A., writes of meeting him in France, as follows:
 "When the transport sails from this harbor in a few days, it will carry the happiest boy in the world. That is the way he characterizes him. self. I would call him the nerviest boy in the world.
 "His name is Aubrey Mcleod. He is former student at Purdue un,- versity, a resident of Boston, and ho served in an Indiana battery on the Mexican border last year. "All of which has nothing to do with why he is the happiest and nerv- fest boy in the world
 "When histories of the present war are written, Aubrey McLeod's name will go down as the first American casualty. The air raid on Base Hos pital No. -, which resulted in the death of Lieutenant Fitzsimmons of the medical corps and three privates early in July, injured Mcleod so seri- ously that his two legs had to be am- putated six inches above the knees. This much has been briefly men toned in official newspaper dis patches. But nothing has been said about Mcleod himself or his hopes for the future.

Governor Says Ford Car
r. Helped to Win Election

Sidney J. Gait, recently inaugurated
as governor Of Florida, is one of the
more prominent users of Ford cars
in the south.
This fact came wildly to public
notice when, in the inaugural parade,
Governor Gait rode in the Ford tour
ing car which had served him faith
fully through his campaign. On
either side Of the car were large ban
ners bearing the sign, This is the
Ford that got me there
Later in the evening the governor
gave as his reason for declining the
use OF all other cars that he never de-
serted friend, and since the Ford
had taken him safely and successfully
through heated campaign, he would
keep it with him.
Governor Gait gives the Ford car
credit for enabling him to make more
speaking appointments an greet per-
sonally more people than would have
been possible by any other means.
