In each of these a soldier was strum-
books and magazines; hundreds were
writing letters home. Behind the
raised counter at one end three or four
young men were busy passing out
notepaper and envelopes. selling
stamps and weighing parcels, which
the men were sending home. One OF
the soldiers said to me as l stood In
the tent used chiefly by men from
Iowa. 1--WE came all the way here
from Des Moines, and we were mighty
lonely. Then we found this Y. M. c.
A. on the job, and it's been home
and more than home to us. 1t gave
us what we wanted when we needed
1t most. Well never forget it. The

Fine, cIean-cut, Outstanding Fellows.
How close those benches were pack
ed with men, bending over the long
tables absorbed in their writing!
What an appeal to the sympathies
those great groups of soldiers make!
Fine, clean-cut, outstanding fellows,
some of them mere boys, one thinks
Immediately of the sacrifice they have
made for the rest of us and how pre-
cious they are to some one back home.
Somewhere, in far off farm or village
or city street, there are parents or
brothers or wives who would give all
they possess for one glimpse of those
sunburned faces as you and | see
them on their last night before going
across. And 1t was with a throb of
the heart that l watched them, bent
over their letter paper, in one after
another OF those seven big tents.
These were the tents Of the Y NJ. G.
A. On that last night in America the
association was serving the soldiers
in the best of all ways-giving them
an opportunity to write home. On
previous nights they had enjoyed box
ing bouts, movies, concerts, dramatics
and a score Of healthy entertainments
as we'll as religious meetings. But on
this last night home ties were strong
est And perhaps that is the keynote
of the splendid work the Y. M. C. A.
is doing among our men in uniform
keeping them in touch with home.
Magic Words, with the Colors."
In these times there are some let
tiers that mean more to us than any
we have ever read before. They are
written on sheets of paper stamped
with the Stars and Stripes and the
red triangle of the Y. NJ. C. A., and
they bear the magic words, with the
Colors." There are many more than
a million such letters in the mails now
while you read this. Perhaps one at
least Is on It's way to you. Each one
of our 16 environments, where the new
national army is being trained, is
using more than a million sheets of

can send their pay home to their fam

Y. M. C. A. is providing banking facil-
tiles for the men as well.

where the Rainbow division was
spending it's last night before embark

hard in the afternoon-a cold, steady
autumn downpour-and there was
nothing to suggest the rainbow in the
outward aspect of the camp. Lines

$1,000 men, gathered from q different
states The ground was dotted with

out from the great encampmeni where
the men are being trained into the

Worlds Fest Loved Trademark.
This war HaS made US think hard
and fast Your boy or your neigh
boris by or some boy you know and
love has been called to do his share
IN the big b OF policing the world for
democracy and human liberty. Is it
any comfort to you to know that wher
ever his duty may call him your boy
will nave friend that Will serve him
in body. mind and soul? Are you
glad to know that this friend will place
books and magazines at his disposal,
organize classes to teach him what
ever he wants to learn, give him q
pocket testament and invite him to
join religious meetings OF the faith
that he was brought up in? Did you
realize that the association provides
athletic equipment for his favorite
games, teaches him games If he knows
none and holds concerts, lectures,
movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter
tainments and every kind of whole
some amusement to keep him interest
ed? Are you glad to Know that this
friend will go with him overseas, help
to shield him from a score of difficult
and dangerous temptations and follow
him right up to the front line trench
and beyond it? The last contact the
soldier has with this life he loves so
well is a cup of tea given him by the
Y. NJ. c. A. free just before he goes
"over the top to hand to hand strug-
gle with the enemy. And as he comes
lettering back from No Mans Land,

plucky enough to keep on his feet,
even before his wounds are dressed
the Y M. C. A. is waiting for MIN with
tea and sweet chocolate, the great COM
forts of the man in the trenches. Do
you wonder that the Red Triangle is
called "the best loved trademark in
the world?" One soldier in France has
called it 'the last evidence that any
body cares"
If every thinking citizen could see
with his or her own eyes something
of the actual work being done for our
men by the association there would be
no question Of the Y. NJ. G. A. having
to appeal to the public for money.
Rather than let this essential work
falter for an instant rich men would

It is the kind of coat that is the best argument that it Is not necessary to look like fright merely because the sun has ceased to shine.
 It is made of white, rubberized cloth, with deep belt of white suede run through silver buckle. The body part is slim, the skirt is short, and the ex- ceedingly convenient pockets. are swung upward to the belt by bands that are stitched to the skirt The deep cape collar is of perwinkle blue, edged with a cord of the white cloth. The cuffs are turned back sharply over tight sleeve and caught with linked buttons of silver.
 Evidently, the French as we'll as the Americans do not intend to do without capacious pockets now that they have concerted movement on the part of the manufacturers to eliminate all wastage of material. This is the new patriotic act which is threatened, and there are few women who would regret It's being carried Into effect.
 If patriotism and economy revive in women the spirit of severe and simple dressing, even if it Is costly and difficult to achieve, 1t will be a boon to those who, not knowing themselves, spoil their personalities by extra frills and ffounces.

The latest triumph of modern phar- macy is a ''de-nauseated" calomel tab- set known to the drug trade as "Calo- taDs."

 Tn biliousness, constipation and in digestion, and in a great variety of liv- CT, stomach and kidney troubles calomel was the only successful remedy but it's use was often neglected on account of its sickening qualities Now it is the easiest and most pleasant of all medi cines to take.

 Az I said before, naturally the ques- ton of g. vacation Is an individual issue; the busy mother of a big family whose life Is bound round with the servant question and petty household worries, finds that two weeks at a nice hotel where she has three good meals day which she doesn't have to plan and pleasant room and no housekeeping bothers Is ideal; the woman who works in 8 business office rejoices to get out in the country where she can't even hear the click of the telephone or the monotonous drone of the typewriting keys; the bank president who must re- new notes and lend money and look into securities and that sort of thing must necessarily like diversion which eliminates any such worry and trouble, such as he has in the daily routine of his life, while Mr. Merchantmen. who must solve all the problems of hundreds of customers from whether a woman's gown fits her or not down to whether her hat is becoming or not, wants to get away from 1t all; back to natures heart. where peace of mind and soul and body may be found.
 so-no matter what your work is-and every living, breathing creature has some sort of work to do, and no matter where you go for your little vacation, just re- member to leave your troubles behind; start out at least with clean slate; be able to enjoy life for brief season, and then if there must be difficulties to be faced when you get back, you'll find that you can meet them with a much bet ter spirit and much better comprehen- sion than if you'd been worrying about them all during your one little resting space during the yearl

HN NE of the pEertiest of the seasons V weddings and one which came as
 a great surprise. was that of Miss Allena Bestor Hunt and MT. Will liam Howard Quinn, which took place at noon on yesterday at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. William Hunt.
 Miss Hunt had invited her guests to an informal morning reception, compliment ing her house guests, Miss Marguerite Elebash of Selma and Miss Mary Rey- holds of Evergreen. The reception be- came matrimonial surprise even to her closest friends,
 Preceding the ceremony, Miss Linda Belle Heacock delighted the guests with the song, "The Rosary" accompanied by Miss Mary Reynolds. As tEe first chords of Lohengrin's wedding march was played the bride entered with the groom and the impressive ring ceremony was performed by Dr. J. M. Shelburne, while Miss Reynolds softly played Schnberts serenade.
 The bride wore her travelling gown of champagne silver cloth and Ter arm shower bouquet of Ophelia roses and lilies of the valley, and made beautiful picture. The spacious home was artisti- cally decorated with southern smilax and palms, and the improvised altar and stairway was made most attractive with candles and ophelia roses.
 Following the ceremony an informal re- ception was held, with Misses Marguerite Elebash and Louise Blake presiding at the punch table. During the congratula- tions and best wishes stringed orches-
