the help you have given me before, and
1 come once more for advice. Would
you be so kind as to answer three
questions? How old must girl have
been TO go overseas as Red Cross
nurse? What organization had the
youngest age limit for girls to go over
seas, and what age was this? Was it
necessary that girl should speak any
other language than English, If SC in
what organizations? Was not the age
limit for enlistment in the United States
army eighteen forty five? Did any
other Allied country allow older men to
enlist? If so what age? Were there
any restrictions on American men en- :
listing in the armies of other countries
These last questions apply to enlistment
of fighting men. DORlS.
1t was necessary for a girl to be
twenty five before she could go over :
seas in any organization. 1t'was not
necessary to be able to speak any other
language except in specialized units,
such as the telephone unit. French, OF
course, was an asset in any organiza =
ton. Eighteen forty five was the age
limit for enlistment in the United States
army and other Allied armies. Older
men were conscripted in the Allied
armies but they were not put into the
fighting units. They were used for spe
cial service. After the draft started in
the United States there was a ban
placed on Americans enlisting in any
other country.

Arbutus in the South


I have been in the South,
And have known the sweet lure Of her
mouth
That she sets to the flute Of the breeze
As II steals through the tops Of the
trees,
Through the tremulous crests of the
pines
As. the daylight declines,
And the breast Of the west wears a fold
As Of daffodil gold.
I have heard the gay mockingbird sing
light or awning,
Its medley Of robin and thrush
And wren in melodious gush
When the dawn is a poppy that blows
Or O rose
And my senses have swooned with the
4 scent
OF the bloom Of the jasmine that bent
Overhead, swayed and swung and
spilled out
It's slumberous altar about.
But not these touched my spirit as one
Little spray that looked up to the sun
BY the edge of wood, frail and shy,
With its blossoms Of delicate dye
Like the heart of the whorl of shell,
The arbutus ah, such was the spell
OF its beauty and fragrance to me
| That it stirred memory,
Aid led me along
Like s song
By path in the hills far away,
Where, meath the Aprilian day,
The arbutus grows -
By the SHOWS!
Just a flight of the mind, and gleam
OF youth, and an old vernal dream;
But more than the bird and the vine,
And the flute of the wind in the pine,
Aye, than all of the lure of the mouth
Of the languorous South!
Clinton Scollard, in the Sun.

PERSHING HIGHWAY WILL PERPETUATE
 NAME OF HERO

Gen. Pershins's service to his country is to be recognized in man. ner that will insure daily remem- brance on the part of travelling tens of thousands and will be the highest tribute that a nation could pay a hero, if the plans outlined to the United States Department of Labor are carried through. According to these plans Pershing highway across the continent will be built from New York to San Francisco, touching various places connected with the life of the commander of the American expeditionary forces, In it's course of 5000 miles it will be- come great ribbon of smooth mac adam connecting many states and binding their diverse interests clos CT together by means of more inti- mate commercial relations and cas- fer access by means of automobiles and auto-trucks, which are to be more and more employed for long, distance transportation.
 A temporary association has been formed, and it is believed that all the states to be traversed will cooperate readily. A meeting for preliminary work was held in Lincoln, and since then definite progress is reported. Since the war ended public interest has been focused on roadmaking in the United States as never before, since it offers means of giving buff fer employment to great numbers of returning soldiers until they can find their right. places in the reviving in- dustries of peace times. Appropria- tions made by congress to pay the federal governments proportion of state road building projects now ag- gregate $4S,5O0,000 and an additional $200, ,000,00O probably will be avail able in the next three years.
 Nearly 800 road projects have been approved in various states and $21, 1 0OO,O0O is now available for states ready to work according to plans ap-
 proved by the federal government. Naturally it will be necessary to ob-
 tain the approval of congress for the
 Pershing Highway, but with the wide
 spread activity in improving roads ] already in existence and laying out
 others, it is argued that the transcon- tinental highway will be in many
 places merely waiting for links
 that must be supplied and an off I cial change of name.
 | Nebraska, which has taken the
 lead in presenting the idea of the
 Pershing highway, has 13 road pro- jects, covering mileage of 3SS.2
 approved. The estimated cost is $S09,-
 4Ol .43. Of this amount there is avail
 able federal aid amounting to- $32O,- 2O6.66 In this connection it is in-
 teresting to know that New York, the ] state from which the Pershing high way would start, has received federal
 approval for 13 projects of 6l miles,
 estimated cost $l,201.S5 while Cali fornia, in which it would end, has
 projects covering 96 miles estimated {; cost $1,290,6l3.S4.

NAME AMERICAN
 RAGING CREW
By The Associated Press

Dy lHe ASSOcldUeQ IreSS,
 Paris, April 17.--The roster of tho American crew which will take part in the international regatta. on the Seine April 27th, reads like an all American selection, and college wells, more familiar to Poughkeepsie than to Paris, will startle the natives on racing day. The American crew is made up as follows:
 Bow, Sergeant Colls c. Cole, Yale: (2) Private Royal Bird, Cornell; (3) Sergeant Howard McHenry, Yale; (4) Captain James Brinkerhoof, Cor nell; (5) Lieutenant Tommy Jeffer- ies, Harvard; (6) Captain Royal Pull len, University of Washington; CD Captain Harry Cabot, Harvard; Stroke, Lieutenant H. s. Brooks, Cor nell; Lieutenant Guy Gale, University of California Coxswain.
 The crew, under the coaching of Captain c. D. Wyman, Yale, 1915, has adopted combination of the Yale- Harvard stroke, which is work ing efficiently.
 The reason given for the withdraw al of the English crew is that when they came to the Seine for training they did not like the French type of boat, which is heavier than the English, and decided not to compete.
 The Australian and New Zealand crews are training on the Thames at present but are expected in Paris on Sunday.

 As We'll As Men
Glass of hot water each morn ing helps US look and feel

Happy, bright, alert - yiforous and vivacious--a good clear skin; a natural, rosy complexion and free dom from illness are assured only every woman and likewise every man could realize the wonders of the morning inside bath what gratify- | ing shange would take place. Instead of the thousands of sick ly, choking men, women and girls with pasty or muddy complex ion; instead of the multitudes of ''nerve wrecks," rundowns," brain flags and pesimists we should see q virile, optimistic throng of rosy checked people everywhere.
 An inside bath is had by drinking each morning before breakfast a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days inrigestible waste, sour lamentations and >poisons be- fore putting more food into the stom- ach.
 Those subject to sick headache, bill iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pallid sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance awaiting those who practice internal sanitation.

BRINGS IN FIRST
 STRAWBERRIES

The first home grown strawberries of the season made their appearance here Tuesday when Mr. Meachem, who lives three miles south of the city, brought in crate which was sold immediately for the sum of $9.60 to the Harrison Produce com pany. The crate which Mir. Meachem brought in Tuesday is, the ,,forerunner of his crop which he estimates at about one hundred crates.
 The appearance and quality of the berries is said to compare favorably with any berries.
