HIS LETTER HOME
(Red Cross MagaZine)

Dear Al:-Gee, this is great life. and you can bet I'm enjoying every minute of it. We have been in the thickest of the fray for the past month now. You boys back home would open your eyes if you could see the things we see every day. Even as I write there are six planes battling in the air above me. Shells are bursting around us in ev- cry direction and pieces fall on the paper in front of me. Any ordinary man would be scared to death. but you know me, Al.
 The airplanes are most bothersome at night. Have you ever been in Jersey and seen the mosquitoes We'll, that's they. only worse. Bombs drop everywhere; in the soup, in your tobacco. on your beds and even in your boots when you take them off at night.
 The boys in the trenches are safe compared with us. They don't have to drive along roads with shells bursting every inch. Many is the time I've lit cigarette and held out the match for the wind of a passing hell to put out.
 You know me. Al. I used to be peaceful citizen, but I've gotten so 1 crave the sight of blood and the sight of battle, and the chief has the deuce of time keeping me from chasing the Germans in my ambulance.
 One of the things you've got to get used to is the sight of the millions of wounded you see every day. AS shot and shell We often pass poor shot and shell we ofen pass poor fellows with both legs shot off run ming to safety, and armless men wave to us to stop as we go buzz ing by.
 Al, have you ever been hit by a shell? We'll, have. lots of times. After a while you get so used to 1t that all you notice is the extra weight of the pieces you carry around in you and the medals they make you wear.
 I know what you're going to ask me. No. we don't get much time to shoot craps. Write soon. Your pal RIP.

IS HAPPY MAN; HIS
 BILL IS SIGNED

George Hutchinson, cashier of the First National bank, is wearing the smile that won't come off. Yester. day it looked like he was bound to have row with President Wilson, but last night the tide turned in "Hutchs" favor and now all is calm and serene between the President and himself
 The incident that cleared the hori- zon was the signing of the daylight saving bill, to which President Will son affixed his signature yesterday afternoon. making daylight saving a law. It goes into effect on March 31. The new law provides that the clocks of the United States shall be set one hour ahead Of their present schedule.
 For several years MT. Hutchinson has been the only real, dyed-in-the- wool exponent of daylight saving in Fairbanks. He has practiced 1t con tinuously himself, even though he had to keep track of two times. thai kept by himself and that used by other people. As a consequence. when George got up in the morning at o'clock by his own time he wa" up at o'clock according to the time used by other people.
 The daylight saving bill was passed by both houses of congress several days ago and was then sent 'o Pre-idc Wilson for his sigma ure. His signing has therefore been awaited with some anxiety by upporters of the bill. MT. Hutchin- son included. The banker now says that he will be glad to greet any or 1ll of his friends at any hour in the morning they may name, over his back yard fence.

Passion Plays in True
Love, and Jealousy Cause
Much of the Unhappiness.
BY WINONA WILCOX.

There's much ado III modern liter
ature about disilusioned love and the
transciency of human affection.
The artist glorifies passion. mistakes
it for the total of love between the
sexes. the prudcs and the censors deny
its right to exist.
Passion demands everything. takes
everything and gives nothing. II may
be apart but ii is not all of love.
There's a love OF the flesh and love
Of the spirit. a happy marriage is
founded on both.
Passion alone makes heavy load
for a life long cruise. Too much on
one side, or too little. makes 1t impos-
sible to keep the domestic bark on a
true course.
When a marriage lacks the spiritual
ingredients, nothing can save it from
Disillusion.
Some who appear to be true lovers
head for the shadows with full canvas
on from the day they cast lot to-
gether. Some are caught up and car
ried fast by great tidal wave of
jealousy.
But others float to their doom soft
ly and unawares. borne by unseen and
treacherous currents of deceit, selfish
ness and laziness.
Whoever gets stranded, loses all faith
in love. And this is the most terrible
of all the disasters which can happen
to those who sal! the Seven Seas of
Matrimony.
Love is the strongest motive power
in human beings. Whoever loses trust
in it becomes a derelict. useless in him
