18-YEAR-O[D SOLDIER
.BATT[E-SCARRED HERO
Wallace H. Smith, D. G. Boy, Once
Was Named in Report
of Dead.

CAMP MEADE, December 16.-One
of the liveliest lads here, the young
est of the heroes, has only one lung.
But he is up on his feet and carries
no crutch. AS a result of the most
remarkable surgical work, he seems
likely to get away after a short con-
yalescence.
He is Wallace II. Smith, 611 Orleans
place northeast, Washington. He is
only eighteen years old. Smith was
with the District of Columbia Ma
tional Guard on the border in 1916,
but in the Army reorganization he
went into the 9th Infantry of the I'd
Division.
Falls in Enemy Attack.
On June IS, before the real Ameri-
can offensive began, he fell in an at
tack in which his regiment was COM
PEELED to go back. A shell burst
above him as he lay on his stomach,
and fifteen pieces, tore into his back.
German gave him bayonet jab
through the back, aimed at his heart.
The Hun was not good at anat-
omy," said the boy, ''for the doctors
found later that he missed my heart
by a few inches" q.
Right Lung Removed.
The worst damage, however, was
to his right side. His lung was re-
moved by remarkable operation
performed by DIR. Walter Smith OF
Utica, n. Y.
Smith was picked up on the field by
some American stretcher bearers, but
never saw his own company again.
He was therefore reported dead.
To his amusement he has just
learned that the Congress Heights
Baptist Church put up a gold star for
him.

WHY is your little girl SO backward in her
w studies? Is it because she is stupid? Is it be-
cause she is lacking in brains?
No. the reason is purely physical. Schoolroom
tasks are heavy drain on young minds and bodies,
and your feeble, in-blooded child simply can't
bear up under the strain
But she is young. All life lies before her. Take
her in time, and you can mold her into strong,
robust child fit to take hsplace among the leaders
in study and play.

Of cotton and silk concern the maker

choice lies among soft. washable silks

silks, crepe de chine is the favOrite and
in cottons, batiste. Both these are

HOW NAMES BECOME CHANGED
Sometimes Intentionally, but More
Often Due to the swear and
Tear Of Time"

"WhO Was WhO?" is the suggested
title for new book to contain the
names of all persons who have
changed their names. A new publica
ton will do that in England. If the
work is carried back far enough it will
be found that scarcely name has
survived the wear and tear of time.
Some of the changes are intentional,
like our daily applications in court, but
most of them are due to bad spoilers
or poor pronunciation and phonetic
spelling to express the errors Of pro-
nunciatiOn. Our Dutch ancestors had
habit of cutting off everything that
went down to and including the "Van."
The name "Burch" was originally
"Bfrch" and meant a man who lived by
the birch tree. 1t is a curious COM
ment on this new book that the Lon
don newspaper editor who is putting it
out has juggled his own name after
the English custom, when taking a
title. Good names are misfortune
when they are used like family por-
traits to make snObs.-Exchange.
