ANOTHER family is moving to wash
"A ington. Mrs. Robert w. Daniel and
her young son Lucian Phillip Smith 2..d.,
have given up their house in Rosemcnt.
and left yesterday to spend t.: winter at
least and perhaps more than that down
there. Captain Daniel is in the Quarter
masters Department, and has just been
made assistant Liberty Loan officer.
THERE is to be a group of farmerettes
= in the Liberty Loan parade tomorrow,
and I have just heard where some of them
are from and what kind of work they have
been doing. They are from the Brandy
wine Unit, and most of them have been
on a farm in West Chester, doing every
thing you can think of, and keeping a few
odd moments in which to knit socks and
sweaters. They unit has been broken up
now. but two of the members. Mic Vic
toria Blatchford and Hiss Jane Bates =
still. working, Miss Blatchford on the Weir
Mitchell farm, and Miss Bates on the
Dwita Farm in West Chester. They have
been at it since May, and they say that
they have had a delightful summer. Some
of their work was gathering fruit and
berries, wedding potatoes, trimming peaches
and apples, shocking wheat, oats, carting
hay. putting in fence posts. and cutting
trees with cross-cut saws. They have had
eight and sometimes nine hours every
day, and instead Of grumbling. they ask
for more. In the evenings they found
time to indulge in music and in July gave
a minstrel show for the War Chest. So
you see, they deserve some applause when
they swing down Broad street tomorrow
and I for one, expect to be there to give
It to them.
SAID I'd tell you all about the Motor
L Messengers ceremonies out at Haver-
ford yesterday. They received their regi-
mentnls. you know, from Mr.. Paul Thomp-
son, with most impressive and interesting
formalities. and then went through their
drills, and really it's wonderful the way
they do it. Some of the directors of the
organization were there,-Mrs. George w,
Childs Drexel, Mrs. Rodman GriscoIp. Mrs.
Alexander ]. Cassatt. and Mr.. and Mrs. ).
Pemberton Hutchinson.
Addresses were made by Mr.. Thompson,
General Waller of the Marines, and Mrs,
Stotesbury. The flag was a huge one or
white silk with the insignia of the Motor
Corps on it. Mrs. Morgan Churchman
carried the American flag and Mrs. Victor
Mather bore the colors of the organiza-
ton during the presentation, with a color
guard consisting Of Mrs. j. Ridgway
Reilly and Isabel Gest. Mrs. Thomas
EIwyn, captain Of the Motor Corps, receiv-
ed the colors and handed them to the
color bearers. Mrs. Sydney Thayer and
Edith johnson played wounded and were
carried off the field Oh stretohers in the
litter drill. It really was a most interest
ing affair, and q number of guests were
there to look on. Out of ninety-five active
members, fifty-six were present and they
made a very good appearance.
TOMMY Is only six, but he knows that
- there's a war going on and just who
the most important characters are. The
other day he told his mother, II have seven
enemies, the Kaiser, the kaiserin. the
Crown Prince, Hindenburg, Ludendorf,
the Bolsheviki, and Sammy Smith. And
I'm glad the Kaiserin is so sick, and I wish
shed die so I'd only have six" His mother
was somewhat startled at such n bold
speech, and tried to tone down Johnny'o
fervor with a little talk about loving his
enemies and controlling his ~"hate".
Johnny is a thoughtful little soul. lie
turns things over in his active young
brain long after the growrups have for
gotten all about them. And that night,
after his favorite fairy tale had been lin
ished for the third time, and he was all
fixed and comfortable in his little flannel
n!ghtie. he became serious and eloquent.
Mother" he said gravely. 1--WE been
thinking about what you said about loving
our enemies, but ! still think the same
about the Kaiserin. because everyone says
she's awful mean to her daughter-in-law.'
He paused to mediate and Mother seized
the opportunity to straighten out the smile
that would come. Then with a sudden
