/ Hence, some of them may incorrectly
spelled But the funny part OF II IS
when Frenchman speaks to one OF
us. even IL he says bon swar, his ans
wer is always the same: ah, oui, oui,
or, of the native says commetallez-
vous, his answer may be, "beaucoup,'
and so IL goes The French langu-
age is very beautiful, so are the girls;
but the Americans are butchering the
language, terribly.
Negroes Made Good Soldiers.
Now, we come to race living in
our own country, speaking our own
language. and of an opposite color.
They have made good soldiers, as
far as | am able to ascertain; many
going over the top to their final per-
dition. II was upon one of these oc-
casions that one of the colored sold
iers made very amusing statement.
1t came about in this way: one col
ored fellow who had been "over the
top, was asked by one who was
getting ready to go over, what sort
OF sensation it was, and the answer
came like a fash, $50 jar, when you
starts over, you all jes want % say
good bye old world, good morning
purify gate"
A great many of the colored sold
iers were noted as trench diggers.
Men who have been on the firing line
know that shells often interrupt such
work An elderly colored man was
thus employed when the shells and
shrapnel began to fall near him, and
the soldire's own story of the incident
reads like this when dem shells

Happenings Abroad
Some happings that occurred on
board the Cedric, the steamer on
which / came over, amused me a
great deal Still, it was nothing out
of the ordinary, for one is not re-
sponsible for what he says when he
is in mid-ocean, sea-sick, home-sick,
and threatened with the "fu." 1t
was this sort of condition that
brought out some very funny ex-
preSS1OnS, more nOtiCcdDlc dIIiOnS tuC
colored fellows, who were more free
spoken, perhaps. / remember one
evening when we were all asked to
remain on deck for a certain length
of time how the colored fellows mass
ed and sang old time Southern hymns
that their nanny" had taught them
when they were mere kids at home,
basking in the Southern sun. 1t was
a chilly evening. The sea was not the
least bit calm, and to add misery or
humor, as you may determine, the
rumor was broadcast that submarines
were chasing us. Whether there was
any truth in the rumor, remains un-
known, but it served its purpose well.
The quavering voices of those fell
lows made one think of home and kin,
and how the past had been spent,
and everything. One fellow said,
why did ever roll dem bones?"
Another said, I'D jes like to see a

mass of evidence was presented all

that even at this time it is unable

officers and employees of the com

clusively that even according to

The Power of
Vibration
By ORIsoN SWEET MARDEN

Our words. our moods, our emo
tons not only set our own bodies
into vibration but they set the bod
les of others about US in vibration.
Every thought of ours starts a vi
bration which affects other minds.
Remember that when you are
tempted to indulge in ugly, vicious
moods, when you are respondent,
blue and discouraged. Somebody is
going to be affected by these vibra-
tons, while on the other hand, if
you neutralize such thoughts, fill
your mind with sunshine and har-
mony, love, truth and beauty, many
others will receive these wireless
messages and be uplifted, encour-
aged and blessed.
Have we not seen how quickly
even dumb animal dog-feels
our thought and emotion? If we
scold him when we are angry, in an
instant he is all of a tremor and
luns away from us, his tail between
his legs, frightened, trembling; but
if we call him to us and caress him,
praise and pet him, his body thrills
with joy and appreciation. We have
changed his vibrations.-From The
New Success.

n HERE is no royal road to sue

THERE is no royal road to sue
cess, the sages say. but the
modern woman is finding many
q pleasant by-path, bordered by
flowers OF good fellowship, which
will lead her eventually to the broad
highway with the cleaning .urrets
in the distance. Miss Martha Nc
Queen, is young worker of rare
talent and, charm, blazing one of
these new trails for she holds the
enviable position of chemist at the
Cudahay Packing Co., and every day
you can find her in the huge labor
atory weighing and-testing that our
food may be as pure as the golden
sunshine.
But every story, even though il
be fairy tale, must have its begin
ming and Elgin. Ill.,, will be scene
number one. There was a little girl
with blue eyes and merry smile
who laughed and danced her way
up the first rounds of the long lad
der of education. The passing years
found the curls tucked up, and the
young lady with the queenly name
and the royal poise a student at
the Milwaukee Bonner, that famous
school of Wisconsin. Beloit College
found her enrolled in discusses of
higher learning and during her
junior year, Miss Mcqueen decided
to- fill niche in the realm of test
tubes and beekers.
To those who love research and
have great longing to follow in
the steps of this young pioneer, we
give fair warning-one must have
patience, reams of it. and a .arge
supply OF ability tucked away. Miss
MCQUEEN then hied herself to
another hall of learning, the Uni
sersity of Illinois, where she studied
her chosen work for two years
mo-e. Here she joined that great
organization of college women, the
Delta Gamma sorority and proudly
wears its jeweled pin.
Diplomas were conferred, but
even their suspicious gold seals and
imposing signatures could not secure
a position in the busy world which
this young chemist so desired. Her
many years of training she longed
ito put to practical use and~so her
application was filed at the Chem
lists club in New York.
The Gate City, bounded by the
rolling praries and embraced by the
winding Missouri. was in need of an
expert in the chemical line and Miss
Mcqueen received her appointment.
Early in March she arrived to begin
her work at the great plant where
the viands of nation are prepared
One day she literally swims in beef

thoroughly tested before samples
are sent across the sea, for many
orders are received from European

any of the meat spoils tests must be
made to determine just where the

and graduates, and numerous other
chemical devices far beyond hum
drum mortaps ken, soon finds the
answer and the tripe is sent merrily
on it's way, as pure as the proverb-
ial Ivory soap.
Who doesn't love "a crisp, slice Of
ham with his golden brown coffee Of
morning? Few stop to consider
how much painstaking labor must
be taken before the meat arrives at
its pink stage of perfection. Often
the liquids are not performing their
functions which are used in curing
and the lady chemist is called into
consultation.
The oils used in the soaps
also must receive her official O. K.
before they may be used in the
interests of the great unwashed.
Even the water is tested by Miss
Mcqueen and in summing up her
branch of work we must acknowl-
edge that she and her co-workers
form quite the most important. unit
in the great packing industry.
This charming person who has
mastered the intricate art of chem
istry, is very musical. She finds
time aside from delving for germs
and microbes to study voice and her
music is her great hobby. Even
trills and scales and the compost
tons of the old masters cannot lure
her from her laboratory, however,
for its fascination grows. Miss Nc
Queen is most enthusiastic and
urges many feminists to- follow the
guide post marked Earnest
endeavor" for she has run the course
and found the prize we'll worth the
effort.
