cording to the report of Miss Amy
| Gordon of Los Angeles, California. Y.
i w. c. A., secretary at nurses club
in base hospital.
! Having no film or camera the
| nurses at base decided to put
| on a living picture show and invited
! group of nurses from nearby hos
pital to be the audience. 1t was a real
+ thriller, one of the wild and woolly
west variety, with bucking bronchoes
/ and wild rides on broom and mop
| horses.
| Imagination supplied the scenery
with the exception. of placards which
announced the sun" when it was sup
! posed to be shining, or ''cacti," when
the cow-punchers rode across the
| desert.
| Countess vacaresca of Rumania,
! who had been talking to the nurses
| on conditions in the German court
at the time she was lady-in- waiting
| to the Queen Of Rumania, was the
most appreciAtive of all the guests.
THE WOUND STRIPE.
| While we praise our boys in khaki.
| coming home from the fray, and we
speak of the glorious deeds they have
achieved. let us not forget the heroes,
we can now see every day. They're
/ the boys who wear the wound stripe
| on the Sleeve. Every one can tell d
| story. how he fought against the foe,
and the hardships too brutal to con-
| ceive. but altho he's now disabled, he
| always wears a smile, for he's proud
! to wear the wound stripe on the
/ sleeve. It's little stripe that's thrill
/ ing. for it proves that he was willing.
| when the country called he was ready
then to leave, and nothing can COM
! pare it, for a Stacker cannot wear 1t,
i nor wealth provide a wound stripe on
i the sleeve. Tho the sight may cause
US sorrow, yet we nfingle it with pride.
| when we see the wounded Sammie,
our heart heaves. for We think about
the thousands, who have risked just
| the same, as the boy who wears, the
wound stripe on his sleeve. Let us not
| forget our duty, now the strife of war
| is DER. for it's then our gratitude they
must receive. for the sacrifices made,
must be willingly repaid, to the boys
who wear the wound stripe on the
sleeve. NS.A.

The surest way for girl to find out
| just what is wrong with her face, and
s,iust what mistake nature made that
keeps her from beautiful. is to have
her name suggested for the K u.

| marks that are made as to just why
she shouldn't be Observation-Disclosures

THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who recently returned from mill
tary service. At the camp where he
was stationed he became intimately
i acquainted with a young man who
was doing much the same work that
he wastHnd receiving higher wages for
it. He said this man didn't have as
| ctah he X
working so hard. So when the M. I.
| o. T. returned he demanded higher
| wages of his employer. who offere
him a raise of five dcllars just be-
cause he was a returned soldier. But
that was not enough. Army life and
! association had taught him that he
| should have more, so he decided to
look further. Later he came back and
was willing to take his former posi-
ton, but nevertheless he is still look-
ing, and this time at the advice of his
former employer.
