The camions were operated by Chi

wore the uniform of the French Army
and were in charge of Corporals of
their own race. The manner in which
those cclestials ran motor car was
revelation In speed and reckless

along over shell torn roads. and at
last a stop FOR a rest was made. Near

break for II. and Lieutcnants were
sent after them. They were corralled
and sent back TO the camions.
Aftet several hours we approached
Chateau rhierry, with evidences OF
battle on all sides. We wound
through the village, up the hill the
Germans had been pursued. and then
through forests filled with German
gas masks, abandoned machine guns
and ammunition. rifles. helmets with

in the afternoon ana in the distance
we could see German observation

knew we were close to the most I'M

and that here our division was TO
begin making history FOR Itself.
The 3Ojth debussed at Nestles and
at dusk the men were marched up
TO the Forest OF Nestles, on h.!l
beyond the village. where they were
to bivouac. When they had pitched
their tents they started out Souvenir
hunting while waiting for supper.
There were souvenirs aplenty. One
man brought in an order written by
Won Hindenburg, telling Of mistakea
made by Germans in an action. An
other had a letter from German in

1. Mans love is an emotional re-
sponse to his belief that a woman
loves him.
.. Mans love is an expression OF his
intense desire to play safe" TO find
a harbor. an anchor, rest.
! 3. Mans love is the child Of pity. OF
his passion for saying, Poor, dear
little girl!"
4. Mans love is a ycarning for
somebody who will understand
him.
Personally I do not believe that
these desires ever can be satisfied 10y
the same woman. If she really under
stands the man who loves her she may
allow him to poor dear-little-girF
her. since a self Prospecting spine and
courage are perhaps the last virtues

his wife. But she will be much
more positive factor in his life than
Requisition No. 2 would indicate. In
moods and moments OF depression she
will offer harbor. or "the peace ot
the sty"-what ii. l.. Mencken says
every husband wants-or hot foot
bath or a down pillow. But II she
does not put yeast into her marriage
as well as into her bread both will
be soggy things indeed.
Perhaps here and there still ex-
lists a girl who believes that the way
10 win the man OF her heart is 10
emulate the shy gazelle. to give
neither him nor herself the slightest
hint that her young affections are
touched; who adopts the pose that
only formal proposal will turn on
those affections-as one turns on the
water in the pipes after night OF
zero temperatures.
To this girl | recommend the frank
confession by the author of "Women"
"In the first place the real reason for
love on the part OF the male Is that
he responds emotionally TO a belief
that some one or other OF his women
acauaintances is in love with him,
or at least is not so indifferent as TO
put out OF court the notion that she
might be willing to marry him.
MANY marriages are achieved by
sheer feminine determination. When
one reaches the stage of hope 1t Is
because there has been some curious
and indefinable turn upon the part OF
the woman which renders not wholly
% L,urd tho " otion that she has an in %
clination to love. As a rule | should
say that the pretty girl can marry
almost any man who strongly attracts
her. The game, II she be astute
enough is in her own hands"
As for the type OF woman with
whom a man falls in love-at least
when he seeks a wlfe-no nlrt, no
feminist, no woman OF the world need
apply. according TO the author OF
women" The ideal is still summed
up in Byron's rather sarcastic for
mula: "Oh. mirth and + nocence! Oh
milk and water!"
"To the ordinary man" we read
"whose notions OF the woman he mar
ries are taken from novelettes and
from her own revelations OF the

GRANTS SPECIAL RULE
House Committee Votes Privilege
for Consideration Of Civil
Service Retirement Bill.

A special rule to expedite considera-
ton of the civil service retirement bill,
for the benefit of superannusted gov
ernment employees, was ordered today
by the rules committee. 1t is probable
that this legislation will have to walt
until the appropriation bill has been
passed by the House.
On account of the well known warm,
friendly feeling of Speaker Clark to-
ward legislation affecting the govern
ment clerks, both because his SYM
pathies are with them and because he
is known to recognize the justice OF
the proposed legislation. those who
are conducting the civil service re-
tirement campaign feel encouraged
that they will be able to pass the biz
at this session Of Congress-.
The officers Of the Civil Service EN-
ployes' Association are particularly
anxious to push this measure through
at this session because Representative
Heating of Colorado. who has fathered
the bill and championed the cause OF
the government workers at all times
in the House, is retiring from Con-
gress at this session.
