From French Soil

Thos. L. Estes, son of Mr.. and Mrs
j. b. Estes of this city. has written
some interesting letters from his To-
cation Somewhere in France" but
the letters were postmarked Paris
and that in all probability is where
he was at the time he wrote. Thomas
is in the auto truck department OF
the Aviation Corps. His letters fol-
low:
Somewhere in France 3-4-1s
Dear Folks:-
Well, we are still at this place
and are getting along fine; all we
want to eat, but we are sleeping IN
tents with floor as this is supposed
to be rest camp only where troops
come and go, that Is British and Am
orleans.
heard good talk by an Ameri-
can preacher that is here at the ~
and couple of songs by an English
lady and with several other men
speaking and singing we had very
enjoyable evening.
Well, | guess Russia has gone back
on us, but / think 1t is good thing
they showed their hand as you can't
tell what man is doing behind the
fence and l think Japan will come in
and help us.
will be glad when we get set
tied so we can get Strengthened out
and have an address once more. DO
not put Supply in my address, Just
65S Aero Squadron, American Ex-
penditionary Forces.
1t seems funny to see so many Eng
lish boys of IT and l 8 that have had
years training already and some
only look to be about 16, and all
nice fellows, so we have a good many
pleasant conversations about our dl1-
ferent country's, clothing and etc.
They wear the same colored uniform
only made different, and they only get
$1,000 a month in our money. so we
are pretty lucky to get what we do
which is more over here than at home
and some 90 per cent. more, but !
don't know for sure until we are paid.
sure am glad wear the good old
U. s. uniform instead of any other
and am glad to be able to defend 1t.
We sure have some time with the
money over here. 5 or 6 different
kinds. You can lay downa dime or
quarter and get a whole hand full OF
all kinds of money, but we will learn
in the course of time. zoe piece
is larger than our soc piece, but the
so centimes is the same size as our
dime and their frank is the same size
as our 25c piece and is worth 2Oc.
They call the "Y'' and other build
ings hut, which sounds funny to us,
and our talk sounds funny to the
Tommies / guess.
This country sure shows the effect
of the long siege of war in good
many different ways mainly by the
which is maily old people
and children AS the young and
middle aged men are to the front.
Well. think / have written about
all the news and will close hoping you
are all well, and as ever
Your son, Thos.

Swiss Funeral Customs Odd.

The funeral customs of the Swiss
are very peculiar. At the death of
person the family inserts a formal
black-edged announcement in the pa
perS. asking for sympathy, and stating
that the mourning urn will be ex-
hibited during certain hours on spe-
cial day. In front of the house where
the person died there is placed little
black table covered with black cloth.
on which stands black jar. Into this
the friends of the family. drop little
black margined visiting cards, some
times with a few words of sympathy
on them. The urn is put on the table
on the day of the funeral. Only men
ever go to the church yard, and they
generally follow the hearse on foot

ADDRESS OF MRS. MATHEWS

Mrs. Lois K. Mathews, Dean of
Women at the State University, gave
an earnest and patriotic talk before
the Ladies' Literary club yesterday
afternoon. A large audience greeted
the speaker, many new members be-
ing present. Mrs. Mathews subject
was 1.-The Making of Americans" In
opening her address she gave the
definition of nation as "a People of
the Same Language, the Same Tradi-
lions and the Same IDEALS" She gave
a short history of our country, of the
immigration to the United States and
led up to what American women
should do in making friends with
women of foreign birth, who are here;
that knowing and interesting them
would help them to be true American
citizens. She spoke of Lincoln as
an example of true Americanism and
democracy; touched briefly on the
civil war and cited touching incidents
in the present great conflict. 1t was
an incentive to enemy women present
to do her bit.
In the business meeting which pre-
coded the address, the president an
nouneed the resignation of two mem
bers, Mrs. Maud Parsons and Mrs. E.
B. Thayer. 1t was stated that the
national biennial meeting of Women's
clubs will be held at Hot Springs
Ark, from April 29th to May Sth Mrs
c. B. Bird, who was recently appointed
state delegate at large, is expected to
attend. A letter was read from the
state federation, asking the club to
help in sustaining the 'Furlough
Houses" that are being established
in France. Mrs. j. w. Coates spoke
to the club saying that the State
Council of Defense had sent out a
call to all musical societies for COM
munity singing at all public gather
ings; following this several patriotic
numbers were sung by all present.
A rising vote of thanks was given
Mrs. Mathews and the club adjourned.
