Enrolling Stations

In the window of the Rexall drug
store there is displayed a double-page
advertisement from current issue of
a. great national weekly that brings
the war on the sea directly home to
this section, and to the store where
the advertisement appears. The pro-
prietor of the store has personal in
terest in the advertisement also, for it
relates to war work that he is doing
for the Government. Furthermore, he
helped pay for it-and the cost of the
"ad" for the single issue was $4,000.
The advertisement asks for $4,000
men, between 81 and 81, for service in
the new Merchant Marine. In the Ian
guage of it's headline, it offers 100000
jobs at sea" to clean-cut young Amer
leans. 1t states that the U. S. Ship
ping Board' will give them special
training before putting them into act
ual sea service, carrying supplies to
our armies and Allies in the fighting
fields of Europe. So much Importance
is attached to this work that men ac-
cepted for it are exempted from a call
to military duty.
The advertisement relates further,
that the Rexall Stores throughout the
United States, nearly 1000 of them,
have been designated by the Govern
ment as enrolling stations for the U.
S. Shipping Board. At these stores,
right in their own home towns, young
men may now sign on for training
and subsequent sea duty in the U. S.
Merchant Marine.
The personal interest Of Mr.. ]. M.
Webb, in common with other Rexall
druggists, in this striking war an
nouncement, is contained in the con-
cluding words of the advertisement,
which are: "This use of the stores
and the expense of this advertisement
are a contribution by the Rexall Stores
to the cause of Liberty"

Los Angeles Evening Herald, June
a: Completely surprising their many
friends, the announcement of the mar
riage of Miss nellie Irwin and c. C..
White, the latter widely known in this
city as Charley White, was made here
today.
The couple were married last Satur-
day evening and are now enjoying a
honeymoon at the seashore.
The wedding was the climax of a
romance begun in the federal offices
here, where both White and Miss Ir.
win We're employed. White has been
in the internal revenue service for
the past 18 years, and is the chief
field officer in charge of the 18 depu-
ties who are checking up the internal
revenue tax returns in the various
branches from all over the 10 counties
of this district.
Mrs. White. as Miss Irwin, was en-
ployed in Chief Deputy Sherman
Jones office and was one of the few
women deputy revenue collectors. She
has held that post for nine years.
The mutual interest of their work.
however, developed into a stronger
interest between Miss Irwin and
White. But none of their colleagues
even suspected the romance until a
few days before the wedding. Even
then, only their most intimate friends
were informed, the general announce.
ment being reserved for today.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed at the home of the brides SIS
ter, Mrs. H. P. Boardman, of Santa
Monica. Another sister, Mrs. T. A.
Weatherby, of 20 Horizon avenue,
Venice, later served the wedding sup
per, which was an elaborate affair.
and was followed by an informal re.
ception.

ACROSS OCEAN IN AIRPLANE
Expert Is of Opinion That Successful Flight Will Be Made Before
 End of Year.

The most famous voyage in the his- tory of the world was made in 1892. Columbus sailed from Spain, touched the Portuguese coast, paused at the Azores, and then drove across the un- charted seas until his jollyhoats nosed the sands of a new world,
 Another voyage that will shine in history beside that of Columbus will almost surely reverse the route of the great discOverer-from the American continent at Newfoundland, say, to the Azores, thence to Portugal and finally to France. But it will be made through the skies by airplane. And If there is anything in prophecy based on science it will be made this year,
 At least this is the settled opinion of Maj. Gen. Williana g, BranckeF con- trOller general of equipment on the British air council. General Brancker is now in Washington to help co.Ordi- nate the effort of the allies in the air. His position as to the flight across the Atlantic is simply this: That 1t must be done some time in the present war, that 1t is already possible to do 1t, and that therefore 1t should be done now. Once the first flight is an accomplish ed fact he sees steadily growing fleets of huge planes making the trip as a regular part of the independent aerial Offensive.-FrOm Committee on Public Information.

Allies Have MorA WhaaA.

England and France have made a remarkable wartime record in raising crops this year. The French crop of wheat promises to be 13OOOO,000 bush- els more than last year, and England probably will have 3O,OOO,OO0 more than in 1917.
 With 100000 fewer male lahoreFs on the land than before the war, England and Wales have planted 99 per cent more land to crops this year than in 1916, and the area of grain is the largest on record. The increase in grain and potatoes is 2,O42,OO acres. Scotland and Ireland are expected to show almost as great an increase. The wheat acreage in England and Wales Is 2,665,OOO acres; oats, 9Sa0,00G acres; barley, 1,69OOO0 acres; rye and minor grains, 6S2,OOO acresf potatoes, 645,OOO acres.
 The entire wheat area of the United Kingdom this year as estimated hy Broomhall is 2,9OOOOO acres. on which the crop may exceed 1OO.OOO,OO0 bushels.

At the Best It Would Be Hospital for Man Who Yelled "Aurrah for

Two men talking on the rear platform of an East Tenth street car were discussing the poor service and how long it would take a person to get any place by depending on the city cars, when one of the men said that he had heard of a quick way to reach the city hospital.
 He explained that while he was down town, few days before, he had overheard the conversation between a man who was evidently a stranger, and another man of Irish descent.
 Gould you tell me the quickest way to get to the city hOspital" inquired the stranger.
 "Sure," said the man of Irish de- scent, "yOu walk one square east, turn to your right and go one square south. There you will find a recruiting sta ton, Go in there and yell: 'Hurrah for the kaiserv and when you come to you will be in the city hospital

 "Why don't you agree with me?' asked the first man. Don't you think the plan a good Onew
 "Oh, the plan is all right" replied his friend. "bnt think the destina- tiOn is all wrong.

A lean young infantryman, hurried across France with his regiment, was flung into fight near Chateau Thlepry with scanty sleep and short rati0ns. went over a crest with the first wave of assault, emerged from a mix-up with German bayOnet none the worse except for a tear in the seat of his brooches, escaped by miracle every blast in the murderous crossfire of German machine guns and finally came out one of the few unscratched ones in his platoon. He dropped on the ground. doubly thankful for the promise of few moments rest, but he bounded up again in the agony of his first wound. His face had landed in a bunch of nettles.-Stars and Stripes.
