 "At that time Montgomery was at least three times as big as Birmingham and never saw such crush as filled the old depot that used to disgrace the cap- ital of the state. How little things finger in one's memory! The first I noticed when I got back from the engine to the bell car was Probate Judge Frank Ran dolph trying to climb into the car and being held back by the policemen in charge.

 WHEN THEY SAILED
 One night early in October, 1917, Color Sergeant Hank Gowdy, just in from a long hike, laid down his pack to obey an order to report to regimental head quarters He saw there signs of great activity. Records were being packed up, orderlies were running to the different battalions and the telephone had been discontinued.
 Get your colors ready and pack them up"the commanding officer told him Tt looks as if we would be leaving soon. Don't spread any rumors among the men, but there are three or four ships out in the harbor and I would not be surprised if we took one of the first of them. You stay pretty well around head quarters as there is no telling when I will need you"
 A few mornings later the regiment was moving to New York. It ferried over to Hoboken and boarded a steamer. As trey waited other units came, until fin- ally convoy had been formed. On Oc- teber IS, just as the players in the worlds series were being paid off, the ships sailed for France carrying the Rainbow division to it's future field of glory.
 Many of the men wondered if they would ever see the Statue of Liberty again. says Hank, "but somehow I al- ways felt that would get back safe. I don't know whether there is anything in these prenonitions or not, but do know that many of those fellows who did get the hunch are still sleeping the sleep of the brave in France.
 Thoughts of the adventure soon had us all wrapped up in getting ready. and the question of danger was laid aside. We were going to fight"

Chappel Cory Tells Of His
 First Trip to Birmingham
Came From Montgomery to Escort Liberty Bell to New Orleans Exposition in Early sos and Found Br-
 mingham Sea of Mudholes
Fly w. J. BOLES.

Chapel Cory, who some years ago for sock the newspaper game for something which promised better returns for the labor expended, and to get out of debt, as he explains it, talks interestingly of his first trip to Birmingham and ride in the cab of a locomotive.
 It was back in the early eighties that he and the irrepressible Albert Stras- berger, veteran newspaper man of Mont gomery, came to Birmingham to meet and escort the Liberty Bell to Montgomery
 Birmingham was a mudhole in those days, but MT. Cory being very much in terested in certain young lady who has played a most important part in his life, such thing as mud could not deter him nor weaken his enthusiasm.
 MT Cory came to Birmingham in later years and for time ably edited The Age-Herald. In recent years he has been ,devoting his time and his talents to the more profitable, if less attractive and fascinating, occupation Of running a building and loan association.
 But here is the story of his first trip to Birmingham, as related by himself:
 'The only time I ever rode on a loco motive was in the early sos and the trip was from Birmingham to Montgomery O'Nea. the elder. was governor, the military prize drill was the rage, the New Orleans exposition was under way, Birmingham was just taking form and shape and many other things were not as they are now.
 ''The Liberty Bell was coming down the Louisville and Nashville on its way to New Orleans, it's first journey being to the south as sort of announcement that so far as Philadelphi was concerned, at least, the war was over. l was on the Montgomery Advertiser and my old friend Albert Strassberger, grandfather of the boy who was lately killed in France. was correspondent at Montgom- cry for the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 ''We came p on the train that Sunday morning to meet the bell and help escort 1t to the Capital City. and incidentally, was to see a young lady then on a visit to friends somewhere on Twentieth street.
 There was so much mud everywhere, and five blocks in those days was such a long way out, that in order to get there with decent shoes I hired a hack. l hired the same hack to talk GUS both to the train that afternoon. It is as fresh in my memory as the ruts in the East Lake road over which \ bumped out yes- terday How the horses feet sank in the deep red mud, followed by the 'suff' as they pulled them out! I wondered then and wonder yet, why somebody didn't put some cinders on the sidewalks. at least.

a weight Shoe clerks often persuade
 customers to buy a longer and Thar
 rower looking shoe As matter of fact, the only kind of a good looking | sEoe to a soldier, nowadays, is one that | fits. In the army the officers and non- commissioned officers are held respon- | sible for the fit of the shoes and the
 wearer has nothing to say about it. If he goes lame the officer is to blame, not the soldier
 | To get at the proper size of a shoe the soldier stands on one foot while he is being measured and holds in his hand a 50-pound sack of sand. This causes the foot to spread as it would under an ordinary marching weight. The shoe is then measured to fit the spread foot and Is consequently comfortable on the hikes. It is also necessary to have thick sole so as to prevent the foot from giving to the irregular surface of the ground. The heavy bottom keeps the foot on a smooth surface at all times, and increases its strength and comfort.
 "The boys had many blisters,' says Hank, but when we-came out of Ger many there was not bad pair of feet in our regiment And, believe me, from France to the Rhine was some hike.'
 DISCIPLINE GOOD FOR BOYS
 While Sergeant Hank Gowdy thinks the army discipline great thing toward teaching boys straightforwardness and unselfshness, he says that it has a bad side. Ths, however. does not offset the good. The bad cases are the exception while the good Is general.
 'The bad feature for young fellow in the army" explains Gowdy, ''is that he sometimes is likely to indulge in ex- cesses as a relaxation from the long grind of strict discipline and training. know one young fellow that never even smoked before he got in the army. But suddenly he found himself man in stature and strength. He soon learned to smoke and on our first leave I saw

''but where does the joke come in?''
 Why" answered the naughty Hun, a little surprised, 'the funny part of 1t is that he does not know that I am of ficert''
 l agree with Hank. That certainly was some joke on the doughboy!
 FIRST REAL FATIGUE
 It was during those dusty, hot days at Camp Mills that Gowdy experienced his first real fatigue. There were daily hikes along the roads of Long Island for disciplinary purposes and setting up exercises twice day. Meal time was all ways hailed with glee and there were few soldiers who did not prefer to be in their bunk by g o'clock at night.
 The main thing the soldiers learned along that time, says Gowdy, was the care of the feet It is astonishing to see the number of men, coming from civil life, who know nothing about the care of the feet and have never worn pair of shoes that th them. A large per centage have twisted toes, corns and flat feet, all due to improper shoes. In fact, the experts used to lecture the sol di IFS showing them that flat feet come from no other source than ill-fitting shoes in childhood, except in very rare cases. The only other contributing cause to flat feet is when the main cord, or tendon, running down the back of the keel is shortened when the child is born. That does not happen one time in an hundred thousand cases, say the ex- perts. The pointed shoe does most of the karm. At first it was almost impossible to make the soldiers believe that pointed st oes were harmful.
 But I'd Ike to see you make one of those doughtsoys wear that kind of shoe now" says Hank. 'They are hav- ing the toughest kind of job in be- ng able to buy sensible shoes in public shoe stores.''
 Men buy shoes that fit them when they are sitting down in a chair, but not when they are standing up and under

 Hank Gowdy was a much more world ly wise man than the average young sol dier who reported for duty. He had travelled all over America with a big league ball club. had liveo at all the best hotels, had been on the stage-had seen more of the world than the average man sees in his life. This enabled him to study the soldier from a different point of view, an interesting one. Many of tfose who came into the army had never been away from their country, towns be- fore. As result Hank had many good laughs that a less sophisticated person could not enjoy
 The new soldiers were intensely inter- ested in the great war and eager to learn about life in the trenches, about raids and everything Often the recruits would ask an officer to explain these things to them, and one particular captain made it a point to entertain them as much as he could and also to interest them.
 CONCERNING TRENCH RAIDS
 One night crowd of recruits showed up and during their lonesome period in the barracks the captain came in to talk to them. He explained all about raids how one man would go ahead with bay onet in the trenches and another would follow with hand grenades; how the grenade would be thrown into bunch of Germans and then the rest of the raid- ing party would leap on them and fight those who were left with the buts of their rifles, etc.
 A big Irish recruit, with one of those hcarse whisky" voices. listened to this with intense interest. Not once did he take his eyes off the captain.
 Later in the night this big Irishman

Surgeon General Blue, of the United

likely to contract this (as well as any
infectious disease) than is the strong,
robust, red-blooded man or woman. In
view of these facts, it is wise to use
every effort to build up the blood and
thus increase the bodily resistance to
