To See Service in France

Sioux Falls.-That the South Dakota
national guardsmen and other troops
enlisted in the federal service which
now are in concentration camp on
the southern Atlantic cc.st will depart
for France early in the coming year
is the information which is conveyed
in letters which have been received
by relatives and friends of South Da-
kota soldiers. Bryce Boyes, an Ar
mour boy, who recently was transfer
red with other South Dakota infantry
to the One Hundred and Forty-seventh
battery, Forty-frst field artillery,
writes an Interesting letter from the
concentration camp ON the south At
lantic coast AT present" he writes,
"our batteries are using and 4-inch
held rifles, but our new equipment
will have several eight-inch guns and
some mcrtars. The field telephone
and wireless is going to be very inter
esting. We also have to learn three
signal codes. The scout and messen-
ger service also will be very interest
ing, though there isn't SO much to
learn about it, You see our training
is nearly all school work for a while,
then we will start drilling at it and
putting it into practice. / feel fortu-
nate in being one OF those selected
for this branch OF the service, for
when We get out, you have learned
something worth while" Walter G.
Phillips, Watertown young man.
who was one of the volunteers in the
engineers sent 10 France, writes his
mother an interesting account Of the
reception in London Of the American
engineers, and concerning other mat
ters. Nothing is much easier" he
writes, than to draw a crowd in Lon
don. Yet even experienced people
found yesterdays crowd to welcome
the American troops a surprise. The
event had been advertised very little.
and there was not much to see-just
a few thousand khaki clad soldiers
with band or two--but Trafalgar
square might have been celebrating
the return OF the, troops after victory,
and there was enough citizens in front
OF Buckingham palace to furnish the
setting for a coronation"

A saxon-French Cigar Lighter.

Several years ago the then new mi1i-
lister of France, NJ Klotz, decided to
impose tax Of two francs, or 40
cents American money, on each cigar
lighter used in that country. The reu-
son for this is that the sale Of matches
In France is in the hands of the gov
ernment monopoly and the portable
lighters interfered with the sale Of the
matches. On the other hand the
matches have become so bad in quality
that they are subject OF complaint and
ridicule. The law has become unpOpu-
lar and there is an effort now being
made to have the order rescinded Not
withstanding the fact that an in
creased tax was placed on tobacco by
the French government several years
ago. it has caused tendency to in
crease smoking and that is proven by
the many smokers to be seen in public
places and thorOughfares.

WOMEN SLOWER THAN MEN
Double the Number Required in New

More Methodical.

There is at present no woman Off
Ger of New York city bank. and only
one in New Jersey, but IL the war
lasts long enough it may we'll be. as
it is in Canada now, that the banks
will virtually be run by women. AL

have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States en-
tered the war last April, says the New
York Evening Post.
Women are slower, but more care
fut said an official of the Mechanics
and Metals bank, so, although twice
rs many women as men are needed
to do the same amount Of work, the
bank loses no money ON extra salaries,
because the women save hundreds of
dollars Which had to be paid to the
clearing house for. the mems mistakes
Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost SO or $50 week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent of It's men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The Mechan~
les and Metals bank now has 60
women and they are being taken on
by tens on tweIiies each week. So
far these 60 women are taking the
places Of only 36 men. which shows
the difference iii rapidity. but the ofli-
cial of the bank pointed out that it
would be a serious problem when the
men came home for their Jobs
"Our hope is" he said. that the
business will be big enough then to
accommodate them ALL"
