NOTES FROM SIMONToN.

/ | feel moved to write few lines
from this part Of the globe, Simon
ton. We are proud of the name as
we'll as the location of our town.
Possibly the people of old Upton are
not aware of the fact that this place
is the summit between the two Hat
chies. The writer got this informa-
ton from the engineer who surveyed
a railroad line through this town
some Is years ago. He said that we
have the healthiest part of Upton
county to live in.
Well, we have three stores, one
sawmill, one grist mill and shoe shop,
one blacksmith shop, one gasoline
tank, one fruit canning outfit, one
fine school, two churches and some
good old folks, as we'll as some of
the prettiest girls you ever saw. We
have one fine cotton gin and one
fine natural pond that furnishes good
water for the outside thirsty stock.
We have a fine little preacher on
Randolph circuit who serves Hope
well church. He is serving his third
year with us, and we hope he will
stay the limit.
So now we want to solicit more
people, more business to our town
while lots are going cheap.

Of Commons

Students of home economies at
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-

college opens for the spring session, on
February 5, to try their favorite menus
upon their colleagues, as the manage
inent of the Commons Restaurant, for
merly the S. A. 7. G. mess and before
that privately run, has been turned
over to them.
Dean Herbert Hawkes. has announced
this as one of the big drawing cards
of the new session, nor need any one
fear, he says, that he is being made
the subject of an experiment, for the
young women proved during the sum
mer session that they could serve a
well-balanced, scientifically cooked diet
at lower cost than the average neigh
borhood restaurant.
An entirely new registration will be
required of students for the remainder
of the academic year. This includes
former members Of the S. A. I. c., as
we'll as men in the army and navy
camps who expect to return to Colum-
bia and civilian students who have
been at college since fall. Less than
one-half of the S. A. I. c. students will
return, it is announced. These Will
receive credit for the work they did
under military rule, and this credit
will also be extended to those Of their
number who were transferred to CEN
trail officers training camps.
The Reserve Officers Training Corps
will be reorganized as soon as regis
tration is completed.

Standards for Employment
Importance of Betiering Condi-
tions Stressed

Importance Of standards of industry
i emphasized in message sent by
airs. Mare4retta Neale, assistant to the
Director General of the United States
Service, to women ex-
4miners.
The standards for employment Of
women issued by the Women in In
eustry Service and approved by the War
Labor Policies Board come at an op-
Fortune time" Mrs. Neale says. "Many
women urged by patriotism or com
PEELED by circumstances have entered
work that is new to them. Despite
the warning Of the government that the
experience of the Allied nations in war
production showed that the explota-
ton OF women workers in hope of in
creased production was an illusion,
there has been . natural feeling on the
part o. employees, employers and the
public that extra effort must pay.
THE shift OF women labor now going
II is from temporary to permanent
work. On each representative of the
United States Employment Service who
is placing women rests the responsible
ity Of advancing labor standards and
oettering labor conditions"

Water piped into Jerusalem by Gen

the city afforded thousands of refugees
their first opportunity to take bath
in six or eight months. Most of them
had only one garment, which they had
worn constantly all that time, and it
was the task of the Red Cross unit, of

The Hospital Organization
The capitalization of the army in

division there are four field hospitals,
two evacuation hospitals and one mo-

there is fixed disqualification, consist

Valescent camps, with an authorized bed
capacity of Is per cent of the strength

There are now s5 camp hospitals
serving training and billeting areas,
while for general service and for the
treatment of more serious cases and
battle casualties there are 115 base hos
pitals. These base hospitals OCCASION
ally are single institutions, of from
1000 to 5000 beds, or are grouped in
hospital centres. Twenty such centres
of from $500 to $4,000 beds are in op-

Convalescent camps at the bed rate
of 20 per cent of normal hospital beds
are authorized for the purpose of Civ

are in operation at present.
The American hospitals are partly in
French barracks, school buildings and

The Human Touch

How do you do, Mr. President?" said
the Premier
"Qgite well, Mr.. Premier" answered
You are not tired?n asked Mr.. clsm-
enceau.
"No, quite fit" declared the presi-
cent.
Unimportant as this brief dialogue
may be, it yet finds a fitting place
among graver matters. The exact pur-
port and some of the private conversa-
ton between the President of the
united States and tbs Premier of
france viii probably never be known
But it might not be a bad guess to sup-
gest that 1t was not wholly carried on
N tull dress. Historic occasions are
not lnfrequently translated by the his
torians into something quite unlike
anything the participants imagined
them to be. The greatest statesmen
may play like schoclboys in the inter
vals OF serious thought. No doubt the
popular fancy would be impressed had
the meeting Of these two statesmen
evoked some memorable phrase Such
fel1cltous circumstances have been re-
corded OF some similar meetings in the
past, though, we rather suspect, as an
afterthought. Thackeray used to recall
al the brilliant things he meant to say
when ne was going home in the cab. |
Inc President and the Premier no doubt
reallzed how momentous the occasion
was, but they expressed themselves in
conventional amenities. And. after all. /
what more could NJ. Clemenceau have
wished to know than that his distin-
gulshed visitor was "ouite fit"?
The lacoNic French and American
way Of greeting means quite as much
as the elaborate verbal courtesies of
Orientals. Superficial batteries would
be wholly foreign to the natures of the /
men at the peace conference. They can
take one anothcrs good will for
granted. There will be moments of
high tension. of deep debate, perhaps
or fiery eloQuence. But the business
in hand will hardly be carried out with
single eye to cur old friend, the His
torical Painter. The delegates will find
1T necessary to relieve the strain nv
occasional relapses from formal dig

Premier swapDed stories after they had
withdrawn from the public gaze. The

often the best diplomacy This is part
Of the story we shall hear little of
at least. not until the main matter is
disposed OF and the gossins have
chance to talk. And doubtless much of
what we do hear will he apocryphal. /
But it Is gratifying at the beginning
to learn how Mr. Clemanceau hoped
that MIR. Wilson was not tired. and
how Mr.. Wilson reassured him with

Only Three q. S. Generals

American precedent is threatened by
the movement to make the rank Of
general permanent in the cases of
Pershing, March and Bliss, all of whom
now hold this highest of American
titles temporarily.
The United States has been very
sparing of the rank Washington was
only q Lieutenant General under the
Federal government. Winfield Scott
held the same title as Washington. but
by brevet. In our whole history three
soldiers, and they only one at time.
have been Generals. Now it is pro.
posed to creatc three at once.
Grant was tho first General of the
American Army. but not until after
the war, when the title was created for
him in 1866. On Grants resignation

came General, and when he retired
Sheriden was given the honor.
Similarly there have been but three
