''r aiasav DiVision" Has
aGe T History.

AHA& enjoys the distinction,
 ng with other states in the ss:a4 of having contributed troops to .ne famous Rainbow Division, whose exploits in France first taught the Hun that he had met his master in the citizen soldiery of free country. Historians will devote glowing pages to the part this division played in the world war, the first Americans to fight as a unit in France and still engaged when Germany signed the most drastic armistice ever submitted to European power.
 The following tribute appears in the Chicago Herald and Examiner:
 American blood tingles at the sound of the name. The rowing glance leaps instinctively at it in print It's deeds are those of ma ton; its glories reflected in homes
  nent Now it is furnishing an all ready imperishably brilliant rec ord at Sedan.
 When the curtain arose on the first act it disclosed the Rainbow. As the finale approaches the Rain bow glisteps in the center of the picture.
 csl I7o,- thn oa1i a6 to peace preliminaries we find a modest flash from the cable which tells us the Rainbow still is fight ing
 What qualities of enduring TO- nance are contained in the story of the Rainbow, In years to come what sort of a Congress or na- tional gathering of any kind will 1t be that will not bring together, from all sections of the United States, comrades of the Rainbow division
 The name given to former national guardsmen composing the Rainbow : Division" was an inspiration. It was IHe prouu CHdIeilse ol d HdIioH WHICH had buried all sectional differences to fight against autocracy for. the liberty of mankind. Sons of fathers who wore the blue battled side by side with the sons of those who wore the gray. They came from the north 
 and the south, from the east and the west, but all were Americans. Their achievements in France must ever re- main glorious heritage to the Amer ican people.

Work of State Board of Health

Many people have regarded the state board of health as concerned only with sanitary projects, quarantine regula- tions, and the gathering of vital sta tistics," said Dr. Welch, but it had a chance to show it's usefulness in the influenza epidemic.
 Taking into consideration that more than 400 physicians in Alabama have volunteered for the army and navy, leaving barely enough for normal times and that doctors more than any other class seemed to have fallen victims to the flu I think it is really remarkable how well they handled the desperate situation. They showed that when the test came they stood it. I am grate- ful for the help they so freely gave me- making it possible to transfer more than two score from one place to anoth- CT to meet local needs"

Importance Of Camp
 Community Service

I'll the drive for the money sought to J be raised for the Young Mems Christian association and other or ganizations united in camp community service be intensive, it is sure to be crowned with success. The appeal is most earnest and the contributions should be exceptionally liberal.
 If the beneficent work of the vari- ous associations was essential during the war it is even more essential now that the actual fighting is over. In

IMPRESSED BY OUR
FOOTBALL BATTLES
laps Take Great Interest in u. S.

Observers From Far East Wrought Up
Over stoicism and sportsmanship
Displayed by Players When In.
jured In Games.

Ever since the work Of organizing
Americas army was started we have
had among us observers from Japan,
who are not so much taken up with
the way we get together our military
forces as they are with our task of
keeping the soldier fit and Interested.
In addition to making observations
at our camps they have visited our
colleges and perhaps beyond anything
else they have been impressed by our
football games.
One of the japanese, n college pro-
fessor and Y. M. G. A. worker, on
his return to Tokyo recently deliv-
cred lecture, in which he emphasized
the remarkable index to American
fighting spirit and character furnished
by our football battles.
For ages japan has pridcd itself
on the spirit of the ancient Samauri--
spirit which, 1t was held, has tran
scended that of any other nation.
Only those who are intimately ia
miliar with the feelings of the Japan
csc on that subject can imagine, the
SUR WHICH tne lecturer unuouDte'py
created when he told his fellow Nip.
ponese that "the spirit of the old
Sumnuri Is not confined to japan, but
is evident In every game between
American college football teams"
american football never would be
a success In Japan--it could not exist
here" the japanese told his hearers.
"If any of you think that the spirit Of
old japan Is superior to the spirit of
America you would change that impress.
sion IL you were to see u hard-fought
game on an American college football
field"
What impressed the japanese more
than anything In football was the stoi'
cism and sportsmanship with which the
players accepted injury and even q
knockout"
The japanese have prded themselves
on their ability to take punishment
| without filnching, but five minutes OF
| football game convinced our visitor
that in ut least that feature we stood
| supreme.
