The First Service Ribbons

From the Worlds Work.
 "Pershing's personality and strength of character dominated those cadets as I have never known in the case of anr~in- dividual before or since in or out of the army, says Col. William Hayward We loved him devotedy, and yet I am sure the awe in which I stood of him during trose years was shared by every other cadet.
 When Pershing was at last to leave us. the cadets who had served under him desired distinguishing badge of some sort A number were in favor of a gold medal, others something else. But some boy had a real brain throb. with the re- suit that Q select committee headed by John " Dixon. now one of Judge Nor gan J. OBrien's law partners, called on Lieutenant Pershing at his headquarters in the armory and asked him for a pair of his brooches
 What in the world do you want with a pair of my breeches?'
 He was then informed that they were to be cut up into strips, the yellow cav airy stripe in the centre and a bit of the blue brooches on each side, and made into service ribbons. He was plainly affected. After a pause he said:

BESSENER HOSPITAL
 MONUMENT TO WOMEN
By ETHEL GILLEN

One of the biggest things in Besse- mer from womans viewpoint is the Elizabeth Duncan Memorial hospital. which is owned and operated by an organization of women known as an United Charities Controlled entirely by a board of directors, of which Mrs. F.. II. Lopez is president, secretary and treasurer, the hospital has not only been self-supporting, but has erected a handsome new brick structure three stories high, the front being fashioned after the Corinthian mode of architec, ture it's broad massive columns ex- tending to the top.
 The hospital was established in 1911 by Dr. Thomas F. Robinson and was called the Robinson hospital and in 1912 was donated to the United Charities and was renamed the Elizabeth Duncan Memorial hospital in memory of Dr. Robinson's mothE. By dint of much economy and mo& energy the women of the organization have succeeded so admirably that the new building, erect ed at a cost of $30,000, has been prac- tical1y paid for.
 True, the need for an infirmary was a great factor in making the institu- tion self-supporting, as it is in the midst of an industrial community, but

When Germany Was Starving
rof. Lowell Thomas, in Leslie's.

Prof. Lowell Thomas, in Leslie's.
 l ran into four Americans yesterday who have been here in Strasbourg through all four years of the war
 I dined with MT. and Mrs. Butler last evening. They told me some curious things about life in Strasbourg during the war. All of these people were kept here as prisoners and not allowed to return to America or even go into any other part of Germany. because this city was re- garded as fortress.
 Mrs. Butler told me they were forbid den to speak either English or French even in their own home, and they were forced to obey because they knew their servants might report them in order to get the reward offered Speaking of the cost of living, she said that before the war it cost them about 15,0OO or 16.0O0 marks, the equivalent of s4000, to run their home and buy food. Since 1914 she said it had increased to over 50,OOO marks, or more than Sl2,00o Milk was so scarce that even among the well-to-do groups of three fSnilles' usually combined and bought a COW. For an ordinary bovine they had to pay 5000 marks, $75O. It cost 6 marks. $1.5O, per day, to feed the COW, which gave about eight quarts of milk day,

when it wasn't dry. Of that, two quarts went to the man who took care of it, and each of the three families got a like amount.
 During the last year the people of Strasbourg were cut down to one egg week. when any were obtainable at all. They were allowed one and one-half pounds of sugar month, except during canning season, when that was raised to four pounds The potato ra tion was six pounds a W sek per person. The bread everyone was forced to use was all made under government supervision The in gradients were a flour made of reeds which grow along the streams in Afsace, dried and mlled into a powder and mixed with dried turnip flour; 75 per cent cent bran and mill sweepings. per cent whole wheat flour, 10 per cent seaweed and a large quantity of sawdust. which was put in to stretch" the flour. Mir. John son told me that al least one-fourth of the tune the bread was delivered, to rich and poor alike, with maggots in it as result of the fact that it was extremely diff cult to bake it through. He said if you threw a chunk of bread against the wall it would stick there like putty with water dripping out of it.
 Tn place of coffee we have been using chicory, acorns and roasted barley. In all the less expensive brands of cigars only the wrapper would be of tobacco, and the remainder leaves from rose bushes, chestnut and oak trees. Pipe and cigar cite tobacco was made from the same ma terials. Smokers suddenly found them selves afflicted with stomach trouble and severe headaches. For a long time we didn't know what the cause was, and this imitation tobacco undermined the health of the soldiers at the front as well as that of the civilian population.

 Beginning with the interior we fint
 on the first floor the office and recep- tion rooms, with the colored wards ir l the rear. The second floor is utilized 1 for private rooms and wards, while | the operating rooms, two in number l lined with tile and equipped with all modern appliances, together with the nurses quarters, complete the third floor On the west side of this struc. ture capacious sun parlor has been erected for use of the patients.
 The building now used as a hospital was first used as a library and was erected many years ago for the uplift. ing of humanity by the Rev. and Mrs. Harvey Flinn It was later purchased by Dr. Robinson and converted into a hospital. During the time the United Charities has owned the hospital it has grown in strength and power until to- day it stands monument to our city. The past year has been the busiest and most successful in the history of the institution. 1000 eases having been reg istered, and of this number approXi- mately 600 were operations.
 Miss Beatrice Stuart has been head nurse of the institution Tor the past two years. She is a graduate of the Birmingham infirmary and under her supervision the staff has been increased

 Miss Dora Parker, who graduated from the hospital in 1912, has been in charge of the operating room for the past six years, and has been of great assistance to the various surgeons op- erating here. She is considered one of the best operating nurses in this dis trict by the faculty of the hospital and her one aim is to give 100 per cent efficiency for the infirmary.
 Mrs. A. w. Ligon is matron of the in- stitution, and in her gracious manner makes the hospital a real home for the seven student nurses in training there.
 The United Charities, under whose direction the hospital is conducted, was organized about 2S years ago with Mrs. G. M Wells as its first president. There have been only three presidents of this organization, as Mrs F. M. owens, the present president, has held that of fee for 25 years. Other officers are: Mrs. E. II. Lopez, vice president, and Mrs. E. L. Mitchell, secretary and treas- urer.
 Comprising the board of managers for the hospital are Mrs. E. H. Lopez Mrs E. M. owens, Mrs. Gardner F. Good wyn, Mrs. W. J. Long and Mrs. E. l.. Mitchell, prominent clubwomen of Bes- semer, who are identified with many other movements for the improvement of the city.
