danger until a shell from n of them
got me. No it was through curiosity
that l got wounded. But believe me
there were lots of Americans wounded
for the same reason. The Yanks just
couldn't keep from sticking their
heads in places where they shouldn't
and forgetting danger, in order to get
a better look. A piece of the shell
went clear through my right thigh
severing an artery. 1t was some time
before l could get aid and in the mean
time lost lots of blood"
When questioned about the French
girls, their beauty and charms, Met
calf said the most of them looked like
our American young ladies. "Why if
you saw a bunch of them on the
street." he said, "you wouldn't notice
any difference between them and our
girls. 1t was only when you tried TO
talk to them that you found out they
were different"
Contrary to the statement of some
of the boys who have returned from
overseas service Metcalf says the
French girls are not all distinctive
brunettes but there are many blends,
and red haired ones.
This talk about the Y. NJ. c. a.
not doing its part over there, makes
me tired" said Metcalf and he con
tinued: why, you hear some of these
fellows saying that they failed to do
their duty in the Argonne Forest, st.
Mihiel, and Chateau Thierry; that
they weren't there to give the boys
q sandwich or piece of chocolate when
they needed it the most. Say, when
dur own army could not get through
those lines and that terrific fire to
bring the boys their food, how do they
suppose the Y. M. C. A. workers could
bring them anything? Of course they
were behind the lines at that time.
There is where they should have been.
They were always ready to take care
of the boys brought back. The mill
tary police were back there and it was
their place to be there. Just so it was
the place for the Y. N. C. A. workers.
They would have done little good try
ing to evade exploding shells, climb
over barb wire and fallen trees
with a cup of coffee or piece of sand
witch, wouldn't they? They are a fine
set of fellows who deserve the highest
praise"
Metcalf says he came near running
over General Pershing and didn't
know it was the great General until
after he had passed him. 81 was going
up a little wooded PATH" he said,
"when 1 ran into a bunch of distin-
guished looking officers. I didn't rec
ognize Gen. Pershing at first but after
l passed the party I recognized him by
the pictures I had seen, which are a
good likeness of the General. 1 ran
down the hill however and stood near
Pershing's car where I got a good look
at him.
Metcalf will leave for Chicago Sat-
urday where he will take up the work
he followed before enlisting.

CUT YOUR SHOE BILLS
WITH NEOL|N SOLES

1.-THE answer to the problem of shoe
wear lies in the use of Ne5lin Soles'-
so says H. L. Evans of Steubenville,
Ohio.
For five months" says Mr.. Evans" Il
have been wearing the same pair OF
Neolin-soled shoes at my work at the
La Belle Iron Works and they are
good for two months more wear. As
my work takes me to all parts of the
mill daily where | have to walk over
cinders, Stag, etc, it is simply out of
the question to buy anything else to
take the place of Neolin Soles."
You too-and your whole family-wlil
find Neolin-soled shoes long and
so save money. You can get them in the
styles you like at almost any good shoe
store. And any repairman will re-sole
your worn shoes with Ne0lin Soles-
scientifically made to be durable, COM
Portable and waterproof. They are
made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to out
wear any other heels.
