Corporal Storms Heights oi Ourcq River With Rem
 nants of His Platoon

At the direction of the War Depart. ment General Pershing has forwarded from France accounts of 100 deeds of heroism performed by soldiers of the American forces, most typical of the spirit of our army. The story of Cor poral Sidney Manning is one of con spicuous gallantry.
 Corporal Manning was in charge of an automatic rifle squad when his bat. talion assaulted the heights of the Ourcq River. During the advance on the hill Mapning's platoon commander was killed, and just as the line reached the crest of the hill the platoon ser geant fell.
 Corporal Manning then assumed command of the platoon. Though he himself was severely wounded and was the only survivor of his squad, this sol dier led forward the 35 remaining men of the platoon against an enemy strong point, wired, entrenched and defended by machine guns. which dom- mated the Ourcq valley. He was re- peatediy wounded but with seven men took the position. While his men con- solidated the line he held of consid- erable number of the enemy fifty yards away with his rifle. When the posi- tion had been consolidated he crawled back to shelter, having received nine wounds.
 Backing up such examples of sacri- flee as this the government Is calling on the people to take the Victory Loan to pay for the expenses of our war time army. @

SO the stockingless outfit came into

WITH the WOMEN O D
By EDITH xo11A1rx.

The self-made man who had been
pointed to with pride by his fellow
citizens and friends will have to step
aside from now on and let the self
made oma have her day and Incl
dentally her due. There is a young
woman in New York city whose rec

made men and is very unusual among
women. She is Miss Rose Rothen-
berg who was recently appointed a
deputy assistant district attorney.
Miss Rothenberg is the first oma to
be appointed-to that position in New
York.
She is peculiarly capable of under
standing the problems with which she
has to deal since she won her educa-
ton by attending night school while
she worked during the day. Though

where I could do the most good would

TEACHING THE MISSISSIPPI
TO BRUSH ITS OWN TEETH.

Beginning the middle of this sum-
mer, the Mississippi river will be
able to brush its own teeth and keep
its own mouth clean of mud and silt
and sand, which for so many genera
tions have kept government dredges
and other boats busy down at Port
Eads holding open that mouth so that
ships might pass in and out, and 100
miles UP. the river to New Orleans.
The method was very simple after
they found out how to do it-for it
consisted merely in narrowing the
channel inside the jetties, by means
of timber breakwaters. to 1000 it.,
with a mean depth of 35 it., and then
directing the main current of the
Mississippi through this narrowed
channel Only one dredge will be re-
quired now for soundings and records
whereas three or four dredges were
employed before to keep the channel
clear. Now the current of the Missis-
sippi scours itself.

are completed, more than SO per cent

the hen. She wouldn't lay for him
while he was around, but when he
