STORIES ON PRISON wXLLs

London-Humor finds it's way even into the military prisons.
 One Tommie who found his way into ''clink" left his opinion on the wall thus:
 This place is a blinkin' paradise after p years of nagging by the woman I mar ried,' after which he gave her full name, address and occupation.
 On the whitewashed walls of the cell the imprisoned Tommy will usually drive dull care away by writing criti- cisms of the officer who passed sem tence upon him. Evidently solitude sharpens wits considerably, for most Of the writing on the wall shows won. derful power of self expression.
 Sometimes the monotony is varied by few drawings and caricatures.
 On one of the prison walls, amid all the would-be humorous comments, one finds a little human tragedy. A sol- dier, after giving number, name. regt- ment and length of service, says:
 Game home after IS months. Found wife eloped with Russian. Got drunk Went mad. Bashed two M. P.s (mili- tary policemen) Sentence 56 days. Marriage is a lottery; I've drawn a blank, God knows! Happy is the chap who has drawn 8 prize."

Lay a New Sacrifice
 On the Altar of Patriotism

LUST as the war has glorified O France, it has exalted America. We have been imbued with the spirit of sacrifice. The richest nation on earth, many of us did not know before what sacrifice meant. The answer the American people have made in men, : Tn money, in guns, in vast quantities of war supplies, sent across the ocean in a never-ending stream of ships, proves beyond all doubt that we have learned how to put aside selfish in- terests for the common good-not for our good alone, but for the salvation of the world.
 No matter what his station in life may be, that American citizen is poor indeed who has not met the full re- responsibilities placed, upon him by the war. Rich and poor alike, to the ut. most of their means, must respond to the needs of the hour, or go through life as slackers when the world was battling for liberty and right.
 Although Alabama exceeded its quota, a smaller percentage of popu- lation in the Sixth federal reserve dis trict, of which we are a part, sub- scribed to the third Liberty Loan than in any other federal reserve district in the country. This fact should awaken a determination to do far better in subscribing to bonds of the fourth Lib- erty Loan.
 It is safe to assume that there are few families so poverty-stricken that they cannot by united effort subscribe for one $50 bond. Not only will they be performing a duty that all right thinking persons deem sacred, but they will be making provision to that extent for the future.
 Buy at least one bond of the largest denomination your means will permit The man, woman or child who bought a $50 bond of the third Liberty Loan should make new sacrifices, if nec- essary, and buy larger bond of the fourth loan. It is the safest invest ment in the world"

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

When man comes to you for advice, he doesn't want to be told to do what he should do; he wants to be told to do what he wants to do.
 Funny how sleepy man can be in a church at Il a. m., and how wide awake he can be in theatre at Il p. m.
 When wife gets back from a vaca- tion trip she lets her husband tell what he did during her absence, and then she goes round to the neighbor women and ffpds out what monumental liar he is
 And you can touch a mans heart through his pocketbook whole lot easier than you can touch his pocketbook through his heart.
 It is easy enough to get war revenue if you go about it in the right way. If they would tax every married man in this country $1 every time he tells his wife lie, the government could raise s10c, ,00o, ,0o0,OO0 in ten days.
 What has become of the old-fashioned youth who bought nickels worth of candy conversation hearts when he was counting girl and who would give the girl half of the hearts and pick out a heart with "Ah, there, my size! on it. and hand it to the girl? Then she would pick out a heart with "Stay there." on it and hand it to him. Then he would oASSA Aiio Iaio llCt q ICutt WAtA AA-Sr Me" on 1t, and she would hand him a heart with Catch Me- on it.

 Many an American who is wearing the Croix de Guerre and Medal of Honor for bravery in battle is afraid to talk back to his wife when he comes home on a furlough.

2, VF 1F Capt. Gardner Green Is Killed in France

THE death in France of Capt.
 A Gardner Greene of Company c, 167th infantry, will cause sorrow to a wide circle of friends and acquaint- ances all over Alabama. Advices stat ing that he was killed in action Sep tember 12 will indicate that the fam ous Alabama regiment has again been in action probably, in the St. Mihiel salient.
 Captain Greene had a company of men of whom any commander might well be proud and he was worthy captain for them. They are mostly from Pell City and nearby points in St. Clair county, although Company eC has considerable number of men from Huntsville and other points in north Alabama. Captain Greene had

 He had always taken an active inter- est in political matters in Alabama and for number of years had con- manded company of the national guard made up of St. Clair county men.
 Captain Greene is the second com pany commander in this regiment to lose his life, the first being Capt. Mortimer Jordan of Birmingham.

 The soldiers take off their clothes standing. up lest they sit down on gas-splashed surface where another gassed man had been previously Hands and shoes are dipped in lime, to destroy any lurking gas.

 After the bath. the eyes, noses and threats of the men are sprayed with a solution, and the men dress. Forty-efght men were bathed in two and one-half minutes by this system in one test made recently, and it is believed this ratio can be maintained in practice if the need arises.

MARRAINES

Norman Hapgood, in Leslies.
 Our war department, in stopping the of soldiers with strang- stitution of godmothers does have the dangers that were pointed out and in our army the need is lacking But conditions are not everywhere the same. A Belgian officer told me that, 10, 900 extra marraines would make an es- sential difference in the morale of the lonely little Belgian army, many of whose members shut off for years from their families, feel wholly friend less in the world. In England the practice never became as popular as in France, the home of amiable gallantry. I doubt if the French army will ever take this diversion from it's not over amused soldiers. Somebody called
 France Iight-hearted heroina of tragic history" have kept some ad- in la Vie Parisienne. One reads: "A young infantry officer wants a mar raine from Paris or Marseilles. She should be young. distinguished, full of sentiment" An aviator, describing him. self as tall, dark and melancholy" seeks godmother who Is spretty and tender-hearted. The French love to sum up character briefly. Four sub officers say they count 92 years for the four; that Maurice is an athlete, Robert an artist. James a student, and George a gay sceptic>> One asks for corres- pondent who is slightly high brow. No people equals the French in the sport of the intellect. No. it would not be like France to abandon her marraines.
