time and all the wealth Of her art
and rich personality to the boys
IN the training camps-and giving
them the pleasure that money can
not buy.
The words Of the song by the
Composer Of My Heart" read
thus:
"Out in the land Of heroes
When shadows Of twilight fall
And the night keeps the sun in
hiding,
Till it hears the morning call,
Tis then that the soul Is weary
OF all that the day has done,
Tis then that the soldier dreams
OF happy days to come
Thousands of dreams are for

But a soldier can dream only
one.
He (refrain) dreams Of a home
and mother
We can well believe that the
boys OF Schumann-Heink who are
with Uncle Sam will dream of
home and mother, the mother who
has made 1t inevitable for them to
see where loyalty lies. We know
that their dreams will be the pre-
lude to great deeds. They will re-
member her with the service rib
bon with the four stars that stand
for them on her breast; with the
flag Of Uncle Sam on the pin above
the stars.
They cannot fail to be Influenced
by the memory OF their mothers

For they are the eyes Of a woman
who weighs her actions and deals
Accordingly.

As the wind blows the monkey rocks in the breeze he
expresses his satisfaction his admiration for lady

SATURDAY WILL CROWD SEE LOCAL HROE
Tech TerrorS Will Haze
Real Battle on Saturday

When Manager "Bill" Fortna first
arranged the Technical High school
football schedule, all the contests
were to have been played on the Is
land with the exception of the
Greensburg game at that place this
coming Saturday. But the coming of
the epidemic made games on the Is
land an impossibility, so that three
of the first five have been played on
foreign soil. But this fact has not
kept the Maroon stars from winning
with regularity. They have captured
five straight games and in not one
has their goal line been crossed. De-
spite the short quarters, an average
of Sc points has been Tailed per
game.
Coach Smith will take his charges
out to the Westmoreland county
seat with two purposes in view. In
the first place the eleven wants to
win the contest. Secondly, they are
out to avenge the first defeat in
1914 when Captain Clarence Beck
took his crack team out for their
initial game and was trimmed 3S
to O. The feat was thought impos-
sible, and it was many q day before
the Maroon followers recovered from
the shock. But Greensburg had
champion of champions. Carl Beck
will have a chance to wipe out that
defeat handed his brothers team,
