United States Marines Have supersti-

In II.

Port Royal, S. C.-Instead Of "toss-

crossing the bay Off Paris Island, s.
c.. the marines training camp. The

and was soon bobhng merrily on the
dancing waves.
Taking the accident as a cue "just
for luck" the remainder Of the re-
cruits Immediately sailed their hats
out into the deep. and the bay was
soon dotted with hundreds Of straw
hats.
The boys passed the word" and
now no recruit can expect to have
good luck unless he has cast his hat
upon the receding tide.

OF what we may do now-how to pre-

us can take an active part In direct

In which all can share and In which
women must lead. AS men have re-
adjusted the worlds of business, of
finance. of industry to war, so we
women can readjust our little indi-
vidual domestic lives to war. Even
the homely tasks Of cooking, washing,
bedmaking, sending the children to
school, directing the family amuse-
ment-even these can be directly re-
lated to the war necessity of keeping
the nations health, balance and spirit
adjusted, all In readiness for the day
when our country may call on us
just you and me-for the supreme sac
rifice.
Keep Thrift Wheel Spinning.

spinning merrily. We can save-and
in this our babies can help-save pen

save the other fellows time-and al
ways with a cheerful heart, q smiling

have the right to put our names along
side the mothers of the world" then,
In Gods name, not only do them, but
see that every other woman goes
and does likewise. Let every man,
every woman, every child In these
