SEE SON IN PICTURE
TAKEN OVER IN EUROPE

In the remarkable war pictures
now being shown in the movies it
occasionally happens that parents Of
boys at the front are startled and
overjoyed upon recognizing their sons
among the American soldiers DOS
ing. This came as surprise a few
days ago in Nashville, Tenn, when
Major and Mrs. Rutledge Smith went
to picture show in which was a
Fourth of July scene of a celebra.
ton in France. The scene was at a
fountain and some six or eight khaki
clad youngsters were seated about,
in the picture, when Mrs. Smith
grabbed the majors arm and ex-
claimed, There's Albert" And so
it was. The parents remained dur
ing the second show to obtain a Sec
ond view of their son, and made their
arrangements to go again the follow
ing day when the picture was to be
repeated.-Miami Metropolis.

EPISCOPALIANS BEGIN
A WEEK OF PRAYER

A week of perpetual prayer was be-
gun Sunday by the women of the
Episcopal Church throughout the
United States. They prayed for a
blessing upon the peace conference,
the soldiers and seamen abroad and
here, the homes of absent abroad and
homes from which boys went out and
made the supreme sacrifice and for
the spiritual uplift of the world. The
originator of the Week of Prayer
was Miss Grace Lindley. secretary of
the Women's Auxiliary of the Episco-
pal Board of Missions.
The movement was launched Sun
day morning with special service in
the Cathedral of st. John the Divine,
New York. Bishop Green made an adj
dress on Prayer" and he admins
tered the Communion to 500 women,
assisted by Dean Howard Chandler
Robbins, Canon George F. Nelson and
the Rev. E. Briggs Nash, all of the
Cathedral staff
Sunday afternoon the Messengers
began their rounds, wearing a band of
purple ribbon with silver cross in
the centre. and calling upon other
women of the parish TO come to the
church and pray

GOOD ROADS COMING

That good roads are bound to come
as a result of the war is the opinion
OF Col. Robert II. Tyndall of the 150th
feld artillery. He maintains that the
good roads OF France saved her in at
least two instances. He also says that
none of the army truck drivers, con-
eerned so long overseas with getting
enormous heavy loads delivered in rec
ord time under extremely difficult con-
ditions, will be willing to put up with
the road conditions so commonly ac-
cepted in this country as inevitable
Just as this demand for satisfac-
tory highways comes from France,
Secretary of Agriculture Houston is
sues a statement to a conference of
editors of agricultural journals at
Washington saying that cooperative
highway construction under the Fed.

quickly as possible in full measure.

is for better distribution Of everything
