JACKIE ON SHORE LEAVE

Soldiers and sailors are not search
ing for quiet evening when they
come to town. says Miss Mary Wood
Human, field representative of the de-
partment of health and recreation of
the woman's committee of the Council
of National Defense. women in many
cities face the question of how best to
amuse soldiers and sailors. The mems
ideal is not TO smoke or read news
paper or even hear good lecture
Usually they want to drive with speed,
or to dance with all their hearts.
"Shore leave is relentlessly cut for
the jackie if he commits the least
breach of discipline. Naturally when
he actually receives it he is elated
and, being surprisingly young and
very fit physically, he wants action
and gaiety.
"Hostesses in Chicago and it's sub
urbs are very ready to entertain the
jackies, and many of them give par
ties for a stated number of the boys
regularly every week. These hostesses
are listed, and the hospitality is so
well modified, so to speak, that all
a jackie has to do, when he has leave
for weekend, is to go to the chap
lain at the training station and ask
for a party. He can always be sure
Of getting the name and address of a
nice one.
"The boys are enthusiastic over the
system. It makes them willing to
keep ON their good behavior during
the week, so as not to lose their leave
privilege, and it lessons the tempta-
ton of looking for less desirable
while they are in town"

AN EXPLANATION.
Tarpon Springs, Nav 3, 1911,

larpon Springs, May 3, 1918.
To The Evening Leader.
Gents: We noticed your article in
your paper of April Both recommend
ing Mrs. Burleigh as doing first class
washing and ironing; we wish the lady
success and if we can put anything in
her way to help her we will gladly do
so; We also noticed the bit of fraud
that was played to help Mrs. Burleigh
and family last fall by a man that
called himself a. Church of God
preacher, and how he collected money
fer them and skipped the town with
half of the proceeds, and also left his
room rent unpaid. We would like to
correct one error in this story; that
man was not a Church of God preach
er, he belonged to another denomina-
ton which has churches in this neigh
borhood. We had a little information
from one of his members giving us
his name and the place of his room
ing before he left town, which was in
the southwest part of town. He seems
to be pretty well known about here as
good many listened to some of his
sermons before they found him out in
his churches. Maybe some of his
members would like for this error to
remain as it is and throw the re1ec-
ton onto the Church of God people,
but we ask that this error be correct
ed through this writing, for we can
safely say there has been no Church
of God preachers in this town that
has brought any disgrace on their
church by the use of whiskey and to-
bacco or making false collections. We
would also like to correct that name
of Holy Roller that does not belong
to the Church of God people, but is
used against them by ignorant people
that doesn't know any better. That
name belongs to another denomination
that does not frequent these parts.
In conclusion we will say, the Church
of God people attends to their own
business and wishes to be on friendly
and Christian terms with everybody.
H. F. P,
One of Church of God People.

Arrangements have been made for
providing transatlantic steamers with
coal at the port of Tampico, instead
of at Vera Cruz, Mexico, as in the
past. The fuel is brought readily and
quickly in quantity to the former

IN brief period their port will sur
