Queens father was famous flower fan
cier, and curiously enough bis fayorite
flower and the Queens favorite has always
been the La France rose!
And this flower loving princess married
into flower loving family. King Albert's
father was wonderful maker Of flower
gardens. 1t was natural thing then for
Queen Elizabeth in 1910 to name flower
to be sold on her birthday for the benefit
of the tuberculosis sufferers Of Belgium.
She named the La France rose, and that
one days sale of roses at two pennies each
brought in 100000 francs. In 1912 her
Majesty named the edelweiss for her birth
day flower, and this one days sale raised
100000 francs for negro sufferers in the
Congo.
After the war swept over her little
country it seemed as if this pretty notion
were doomed. But it was too lovely and
significant fashion to be destroyed even
by the trampliRs bloody boots Of Huns.
In March, 1918, the young Queen ap-
pointed different flower for purpose
for which no flower ever before was used
in the history of the world. She named
the forget-me-not to be sold to raise money
that the race of Belgian children should
not be blotted from the earth. And when
she had named this tiny blossom for her
flower, the Queen said that she never
would name another; that always the
forget-me-not should be her flower.
GLOW could 1 ever think Of another"
she said, "when the thought Of what this
flower has meant can never leave meT
What has it meantf Well, first Of all,
it has meant that Germany 6 determined

that Belgium shall have no future that
her babyhood shall be destroyed! She
has gone about the destruction by shoot
ing, manning, stabbing babies. Deport-
ing into Germany healthy boy babies.
Starving and neglecting girl babies. Re-
ducing older children to servile fear, then
carefully inoculating them with Prussian
ideals and Prussian habits. No horror
of the war has equalled the horror Of
what Germany has done and is doing to
Belgian childhood.
Queen Elizabeth is fighting a great
fight for her nations babies. Every way
under heaven that she can use to save
even a single child from the Hun she has
employed. And so the fragile little blue
forget-me-not becomes the Queens flower
for Belgian babies.
The first forget-me-not day was held in
Washington. Twenty thousand little ar
tifcial forget were sold in an hour
and $1,000 was obtained. Other cities
have had sales. More and more cities
and towns will and must sell the Queens
flower The little blue flower of memory
should never cease to sell until the last
Hun has left Belgium and the last Bel
gian baby he had inadvertently left alive
has been fed and placed in a wOman's
arms.
A simple human thing, the Queens
thought of a flower. 1t is the simple
human things that We Americans under
stand. 1t is because of her trouble and
her devoted womanliness that war could
not touch that we Americans understand
and admire Elizabeth, Queen Of the Bel
gians. .,.,.a .anun<aEa

charge of a squad who fired the national

to get all my stuff together and leave in
half an hour for division headquarters
with two orderlies, all on horseback, to 60

area. 1 rode about fifty kilometres that
afternoon and evening and found out in
the morning that the division was going
to another area, so had to hustle back to
my outfit. 1 killed my horse doing 80 and
rode motor trucks, machines, motorcycles,
anything in making the trip and we pulled
out to stop the drive.
We arrived at our detraining point at
about midnight and detrained in the dark.
To add to the sport a Boche plane
dropped couple of bombs which missed
US a couple of miles. We then started
out on a hike which lasted over forty
eight hours. The men got about eight

July 25 was the birthday of Elizabeth,
y Queen of the Belgians. She was
born in Bavaria; nevertheless she does
not look German. To American eyes she
could pass for one of our fine New Eng
land types slender, dignified, with the
long face and thin, clean cut aquiline fea-
lures that one finds among the women of
some old Massachusetts or Maine family.
She is simple, yet little stately, friendly
vet little reticent, as the Queen of a
sturdy, clever race like the BelgianS should
be-
People who talk with her, who do not
know her well and remember her Ba-
varian birth, often try to soft pedal their
comments on the Germans. One day an
American in conversation with the Queen
spoke of the hellish Hun and the unspeak-
able Boche Then he remembered and
tried awkwardly to apologize. The Queen
flushed angrily.

In England priority must be given
to the manufacture Of wartime boots
over all but Government work. the

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

Contributions made by residents of
Linton to the National War Work
Fund of the Army Y. M. C.. A. which
has now reached S6O,O00,O00, are al
ready paying big dividends in the
lives of boys who have gone from
this city and county to receive their
military training at Camp Dodge and
other military points in the west.
According to advices reaching here
this week, the Y. NJ. C. A. huts
in the big environments never have
been so popular as during the recent
cold weather when thousands of en-
listed men were driven inside the
buildings for their amusements,
games and letter writing The CHEEKY
open fire places, the monographs and
pianos, books and magazines form
happy combination that spells
"home" to the boys away from home.
Practically every family in this
community has received letters from
Iowa and Minnesota boys written on
Y. M. C. A. or Red Triangle sta
tionery which is issued without cost
to every man in uniform. At Camp
Dodge recently total of 203,075 let
tiers were mailed by the Y. NJ. G.. A.
in single month, all of them having
been written at the benches of the Y.
NJ. G.. A. huts.
Y. M. C.. A. accommodations have
provided already in more than $50
centers in France for the soldiers in
Pershing's expedition. At the PR
ent time there are more than 1900
American Y. M. c.. A. secretaries
in the war zone promoting for Uncle
SANS boys the same program they
have enjoyed in the big camps in this
country
When the American troops took
over heir section of the French fight
ing front there were eight Y M. c..
A. dugouts waiting for their exclu-
sive use. These provided chocolate,
sweets Of all kinds, biscuits and
knicknacks. The last thing the
American Troops will get before they
go over the top will be cup of hot
coffee or tea, biscuit or two, some
chocolate for emergency rations and
Il word of cheer and inspiration from
the Y. M. c.. A. secretaries.

Airplane motors are now tested at
the Bureau of Standards in a labora-
tory where various conditions cores
ponding to high attitudes and low
temperatures are secured. The en-
CINE is placed in an air tight concrete
room, provided among other things
with refrigerator coils and large
pump to reduce the pressure of the
air. By use of this apparatus motors
may be observed under conditions
similar to those at different attitudes,
which might otherwise be done only
by actual airplane flights.
