sUsoNc-MecoRkLE

The fourth anniversary of the
Glover Blossom Club was very at
tractively celebrated at the home OF
its origin, Social Circle Farm. Miss
Mary McCorkle, the hostess, was un-
usually attractive in a handsome
gown of pink taffeta and silver lace,
carrying an elaborate armful of pink
carnations.
The guests included the members
of the club, Mrs. Luke Mitchell, Miss
Louise Forgey and Mr.. Cecil McAlis-
ter, Of Morristown. The honor guests
Of the afternoon were Mr.. Murrell
Carter, Of Camp Sewer, and Mr.. Nick
L. Susong.
At the close of joyous club meet
ing the guests were hidden to the
dining room by Mrs. Cecil McAlis-
ter where delicious salad course
was served, Mrs. McAlister presiding
at the tea table. The dining room
was very beautifully decorated in
pink and white with tall burning tap
ers.
On each plate was a little message
which when read in order told of the
engagement and approaching mar
riage of Miss Mary McCorkle to Mr..
Nick L. Susong. The poetry was
composed by Mrs. F. P. McCorkle,
mother of the bride-to-be.
-Four years ago about this time
The Clover Blossom Club fell in line;
The first time that they did meet,
Was at this same old country seat.
Now, girls, listen well,
To the tale the cards will tell;
Each number girl will her number
read;
To each number please give heed.
They decided there and then,
Every two weeks to meet again;
For a year or two they met on time,
The fun they had was surely fine.
Of the number, twelve, five are out,
And this is how it came about:
Lula was the first to go,
Because she lived so far, you know.
Next Fanny wanted home of her
own,
And soon decided she would roam;
A cold twenty-third of December day
Sent her rejoicing on her way.
Then Willie concluded to leave the
farm
Thought Greeneville had a greater
charm.

And September they were duly wed.
Next Carrie decided to hurridly wed,
Nothing about it at all was said.
To the preacher they went, she be-
came Mrs. Smith,
About this is certainly no myth.
Then Mary Susong left old Tennessee
A doctors joyous bride to be.
Now Mary McCorkle has taken a no
ton
To keep the matrimonial ball in mo-
ton.
With wedding bells ringing,
And sweet birds singing,
We will all be joyous and gay,
For this will happen some time in

WOULD EXEMPT
!. ALIf|N's, WORKING
FOR snip YARDS


Washington, March f1.-Negotia-
tions are in progress between the
United States and the allies, for the
exemption from draft of the allies
nationals, who are working in ship
yards Of this country, but who are
subject to draft under treaties now
being negotiated. The United States
desires to have the allies recognize
shipbuilding as, a vital war service, as
the United States has recognized it
in exempting Americans IN doing such
work.
Officials said the negotiations affect
a good many thousand workers, train
ed in ship building, whose loss would
prove serious handicap to the build
ing program and might possibly en-
tail delays in special lines of work,
that would be disastrous to the ef-
fort to provide tonnage for supply
ing great American army in France.
Eastern shipyards especially employ
large numbers of aliens, including
Scotch, Irish, Italians and Slavs. many
of whom are highly skilled carpen-
ters and iron workers.
Approximately 250,000 Englishmen
and 10000 Canadians would become
liable for service under treaties ne
gotiated with those countries. but moi
yet ratified by the senate. The treat.

Omaha Girl Leaps Into Icy Water to
Test New Government Life Saving Suit
Miss Helen Stubendorf Floats
Buoyantly About in Carter
Like While Spectators
Shiver on Shore. I

Miss Helen Stubendorf tested one
of the new government iife-saving
protectors at MunicipaHbeach Mon
day morning. Donning the suit, she
jumped from the end of the pier into
about eight feet of water. The suit
proved buoyant enough to lift her far
out of the wate- and permit her to
swim about. y
This suit is the first shown in the
west, although these protectors have
been on sale in the east for some, time
and the government is now equiping
transports with them. While Stub
by" as she is best known to her
friends, was cavorting around in the
ice-flled water perfectly warm and
comfortable, those on shore were
shivering in the raw wind.
The heavy padding of the suit and,
air spaces keep the body of the wearer
absolutely warm. Lead weights in the
feet of the suit weigh more than 60
pounds and preserv. the balance OF
the wearer. The top opens like a
huge pocketbook and is fastened with
strcng hooks Only the head is cx-
posed.
