Amono the War Sacrifices.

There are many varieties of human
beings in New York city, mostly be-
yond the draft age, who, If Uncle Sam
had to depend upon them for assist
ance, would never have to take an
obesity cure. They all, however, be-
lieye themselves patriotic because they
are stinting on their hobbies. For in
stance, there is the pallid young man
with the chicken breast, who Is doing
his bit by cutting down his smoking
to ten packs of cigarettes a day. lie
can't wear khaki because they can't
make uniform small enough to fit
him. Then there is the stanch patriot
who gives everything good Will
and moral support. He has paddock
on every pocket and he helps the Red
Cross and other charities by bestow-
Ing an encouraging smile on the So
Hcitors. He is tighter than a clam
with lockjaw. The last, but not the
least, Is the tickle young girl who just
can't knit and who can't bear to look
at Red Cross and recruiting posters
because they remind her Of the strug-
gle on the other side. Goodness, a
girl must have some pleasure these
times" she says. To forget the war
she cabarets every night with the
chicken-breasted young man who aids
the cause of democracy by conserving

large creek about ten feet deep ana
twenty feet across, and it was a habit
of the company TO avail themselves OF
an opportunity to take a swim and AT
the same time thoroughly wash them
selves and their underwear when on
their own. We were having a spell OF
hot weather, and these baths to US
were a luxury. The TommieS would
splash around in the water and then
come out and sit in the sun and have
what they termed a ''shirt hunt. At
first we tried to drown the Coolies,
but they also seemed to enjoy the bath.
One Sunday morning the whole sec
ton was in the creek and we were nav
ing a gay time, when the sergeant rfl-
Tor appeared on the scene. He came
to the edge of the creek and ordered.
