With the American Amy in France,
Marca 22.-Ame-ican troops in the
sector cas- OF Luneville participated
in a raid on German trenches. They
penetrated the ensmy's lines some
distance. Hand to hand figlting took
place.
The raiders returned TO the Amert-
can lines after forty minutes. Further
details are unavailable at this hour.
The raid was carried not in con-
junction with French troops after a
brief but intense barrage. The Ger
mans retaliated with a heavy fire Of
gas ana l-iga explosive shells on the
American batteries.
Secretaiy OF War Baker finished his
visit OF il Pc, lion in the American
military Zone3 in France With a trip
which took him from the Verdun Sec
tor to great Headquarters.
The trip included q review of a
brigade Of tn First division, which he
addressed as representative of the
whole army.
The Secretary also visited the birth
place Of Jeanne dare and made an
incidental inspection of troops here
and there over the route he traversed.
The secretary departed to fulfil other
aspects of his visit to France.
The brigade of the First division
was reviewed from stage on a high
pleateau commanding a wide pano-
rama of one Of the most scenically
beautiful parts of France. 1t is reach
ed by a steepp winding road from
valley. A twenty hours rain has made
1t Inaccessible by motor.
Just as they arrived at the stand,
General Pershing and his personal
staff came across the field and dis
mounted. The entire party joined the
waiting division and brigade generals
and their staffs.
A cold March wind and occasional
squalls Of rain made the scene more
impressive as the brigade, in full
marching equipment, swept by at com
pany front, each saluting like clock
work, while bands played music which
swelled and softened in the gusty
wind. Secretary Baker Lifted his hat
to each regimental flag as it was low
cred in salute. Occasionally, he spoke
to General Pershing, who stood be-
side him.
Under the weight of full field equip
ment, from trench tools to extra tools.
steel helmeted, tanned and fit, the sol
diers stepped swingingly through the
sticky mud that was almost too much
for the mules who drew the one
Founders and the wheeled kitchens.
It was the first time an entire bri-
gade which had been in action had
been reviewed. The secretary COM
plimented the general commanding
and the colonels of the various units
When the review was ended, the bri-
gade and commissioned officers as
sembled in q semi-circle and were
presented in a body to the war secre
tary by General Pershing in a brief
address in which he complimented
their record of fitness and efficiency.
Secretary Baker, with bar2d head
in the cold wind, told the officers they
were typical American soldiers. He
said they were "the point OF the
wedge of the army which the whole
American people is driving into the
ranks of their adversary"

REDUCING The
DIVORCE AVERAGE

The other day a well-known di-
vOrce lawyer made the remark that
the majority OF women seeking di-
vorce are fat. As woman advances
from youth TO middle age she thick
ems and broadens (unless she 10
wise); hence, husband grows less
anxious TO please her. as her charm
over others grows less. In time
this process ends up in a divorce
court
Women who have ChusbsndsO
must hold. For this nothing serves
like a youthful figure. But how
age? Very simple. Exercise will
not do-does not homework failf
And dieting makes wrinkles. In
stead, escape both bother and
wrinkles by taking a Marmola Tah-
let after each meal and at bedtime
These tablets will take of a pound
Of fat a day-beginning the reduc-
ton where IL shows the most, viz.
on hips. chin. abdomen. etc. Get
down to the lost. youthful figure
that lies under the fat: and then

beneficiaries from the mischievous

this protection by volunteering
their services to beneficiaries in the

again call upon your associates for
cooperation in order that the work
may be distributed and made as light
as possible for each individual. Next.

ity as are at your disposal so that

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary TO shampoo
your hair so frequently IL it is en-
tireIy and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful of Canthrox,
which. can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup Of hot water.
This makes a full cup OF shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just
to the top of the head. This. when
rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand of hair. chemically
dissolves all impurities. 1t is very
soothing and cooling in its action.

FALSE RESPECT FOR PUBLIC OPINION.

Aolhe was on the way to the same

Even now In her grief Mother Trent
is thinking only OF herself. As soon
a. she was little over her firsf wild
hystericai paroxysm she asked where
Mr.. Trent was to be taken and she
seemed at frst much pleased to know
that Dick had ordered the body taken
to our house. but she again began 10

"Margie" exclaimed Mother Trent
In Mortified accents. How can you
say that2 What would people say?''
There 1t is, little book. What will
people say?" wonder how many
times we do those things we should
not do because we are afraid Of what
people will say.
Why should we care II some woman
we do not know-and whom If we did
know her we would not like. because
between this woman and ourselves
there can be nothing in common

thing that we say or do.
oh, little eook. can We not have the
courage of our convictions?
The one thing that life has brought
me Is courage. ana the one thing that
will be vuine until I die is courage
not only physical but moral courage.
I havo learned to face facts.
This is something Mother Trent
never did in her life. She never faced
life or hardship or sacrifice. She has
always fed upon conventional hypoS-
licies and evasions.
All her illusions are caused not by
longing for the ideal but by restless
ness. Even in this great crisis she
will not du the things which will speak
OF real grief. for as long as she knows
that her body will be forever at ease
she will not know great grief.

Spinach and chard (or leaf beeD are
the more important OF the pot herb

late fall plant, and does not grow well
in hot weather. Chard occupies the
ground all season, although you can
begin using its leaves in summer and
continue into autumn.
Spinach makes a fine succession or
campanion crop. 1t can be sown early
and followed by a late crop such as
tomatoes. peppers. late cabbage, or
beans. For fall use it can follow
earlier crops of other vegetables. 1t
can be sown between potatoes, cab
