placed in the window behind

church bells will chime every
half hour until nine o'clock.
AS an effective means OF lend
ing beauty and Significance to
the ceremony, Red Cross work
ers will be organized into groups
to proceed through each neigh

Military life very well, although he
is extremely busy. I see him about
twice a week, unless | go out to the
camp which | do. l have partaken
of several meals with the officers, and
want to go on record as saying that
their food is fine. Good quality and
plenty of it. Of course they provide
their own Mess. / have been to line
Mess (Privates) and | thought that
theirs was just as good, but they must
go and get it, A la cafeteria.
The camp kitchens are immaculate
and the soldiers all seem to be good
looking, healthy and clean. l have
a pretty fair chance to judge-there
are only fifty thousand men here.
We have been out to Kelley Field,
and saw some marvellous flying. We
have about one hundred bi-planes
here. 1t costs $4,000 an hour to run
one. They have no gears, just give
them gasoline. They must have
speed of forty miles an hour before
they rise from the ground and they
land at eighty miles. 1t is quite in
structive and very interesting.
There is very much life here in
social way-dances, parties, etc., and
they have some life. / enjoy it much
The climate is wonderful. Have had
a coat on just once, and it is warm
and balmy. Has only rained once,
and like the climate very much.
