Many new paths are opening up
for American girls. Not so many years
ago it was considered great impro-
priety for girls of the so-called "bet-
ter class" to go into the business
world. Today the idle girl is looked
upon with Indifference or disgust.
Stenography is about the best thing
for a girl to start out with. In this
way she can get into the larger and
better organizations, and once in she
can soon prove her worth and get in
to better paying work.

Distinguished Service Cross for I'M
usual bravery in action near Busy
Farm, France. Although he was on
duty in the rear, Lieut.. Sessions joined
his battalion and was directed by his
battalion commander to locate open
ings through the enemy's wire and at
tack positions. He FASTENED to the
front and cut a large opening through
the wire in the face of terrific machine
gun fire. Just as his task was com
pleted he was so severely wounded
that he had to be carried from the
field. His gallant act cleared the way
for the rush that captured enemy posi-
