Here is a man who can tell how It
feels to be "In the Other Fellows
Shoes" which Is the title of his lee
ture.
Mr.. Sweets story, besides being in
teresting and full of humor, has dis
tinct economic value. 1t throws
vast amount of light upon Industrial
conditions as they actually exist. 1t is
human and informative.
In his job-fillIng career Mr.. Sweet,
among other occupations, was a beg.
gar on the streets, steeple-jack,
fireman on the railroad, a Pullman por-
ter, a clown with a circus, cowboy,
iumberjack. He tells the story of these

Home Notes
son MOURNED FOR LOST
VISITS FATHER LAST WEEK

Capt. w. T, Eaton, commander of
Home Co. E., at the Soldiers Home,
had a visit last week from his son
Ralph Eaton and wife, of Poplar
Bluff, Mo. For more than seventeen
years Captain Eaton has believed his
son to be dead, having been lost on
transport returning from the Phil
lipines to San Francisco. His name
appeared in the list of lost and Ralph
had the pleasure of reading several
accounts IF his death. Ralph believed
his father dead also and this the two
dispted along in life. Just few week
ago Ralph got in communication with
old friends in Chattanooga and found
that his father still lived and was in
this Home. He thereupon bundled up
his family and it was some valuable
bundle, and came down to spend a
few days. 1t was joyous meeting
as you can well imagine. Captain
Eaton accompanied them as far as
Chattanooga, the childhood home of
Ralph, on their return. The visit has
taken several years off the Captains
life and he now could easily pass for
a German-American soldier and it will
be almost impossible to keep him from
enlisting if this war continues long
he is doing his best to finance it as
it is.

What the Italian Premier Thinks of
the American Red Cross

When the Austrians last October
routed the italian Army by trickery
and drove before them half million
refugees, the part which the American
Red Cross played In this stupeadous
tragedy will go down in the history of
Italy and the world as one Of the most
magnificent dashes OF relief work that
has ever come to light.

said of this work In his address at the
