First Woman To Win Medal
The first woman to win the Amer
lean Army Distinguished Service
Medal was Miss Beatrice Macdonald
OF the Reserve Nurse Corps, who was
seriously wounded while remaining at
her post with wounded men at a Brit
ish Casualty Station during German
air raid. Miss Macdonald lost one oil
her eyes through her devotion to her
patients. Secretary Baker made the
presentation to the fearless nurse AT

their dead. 1t is very large ana con-
tains q number of handsome monu-
ments. especially one to Kossuth, who
is known as the George Washington
of Hungary.
The visitor to that city of the dead
will be surprised to find at the grave
q photograph. painting or statue OF
the person who is buried beneath each
stone. They are usually the last PIC
ture made of the deceased. Where
the family Is wealthy there is the DUST
or n recumbent figure of the ueau
man or woman made from his or her
latest picture, while beside 1t sits or
stands the statue of the nearest living
relative. man or woman, carved from
life. For instance, there is one of the
purest marble which shows the perfect
bust of a man at the time of his death
while Just in front and standing upon
his grave is life sized figure OF ms
widow, 4 perfect likeness of her at the
time of her husbands death. Both
figures are works OF art and must have
cost several thousand dollars.
In another part of the cemetery
monument shows the life sized figure
of q man with dishevelled hair sitting
beside the bier of his dead wife who
seems to be resting her head against
an obelis< like stone, but the features
from certain angles are very life-like'
Those who knew them declare that
they were a wealthy devoted married
couple of Budapest, also that the like
ness Of the man who is still living, is
perfect.
In some instances the figures of sew
eral living members of family sit
beside the grave of Il parent. But
perhaps the most interesting of all are
pictures imbeddcd in the grave stones
covered with glass and thus protected
from the weather.
They range from q cheap photo
graph to an oil painting and show OK
actly how the person looked at the
time of his or her death. They are
set in any part of the stone and some
are so small and set so low that there
Is difficulty in finding them. but they
are always there as even the poorest
seem to have the money to carry out
this curious custom.

rugged face of this siXty-nine year
old Hungarian is so life-like that 1t
seems ready to speak.
Hundreds of pictures of these graves
might be shown, for the cemetery is
well kept and there are miles of walks.
Still another popularity is the
bronze or iron lamp posts on the
graves and the huge silver balls set up
on many. The latter are like the col
ored glass balls used upon our Christ
mas trees except they are always sill
vered and much larger. There seems
to be no way of lighting the lamps and
the only inference is that they are used
to light the dead to Heaven or where
candles may be placed when relatives
or friends are Offering prayers for the
dead, as the Roman Catholic and
Greek church is the prevailing religion
of the country.
Altogether a study of this cemetery
is one of the most interesting things in
Budapest.

the. movement from its inception
shortly before the United States en-
tered the war down to the present day
and with u predlCation as to wha'
will be the future of war gardening
1t is illustrated with numerous PIC
lures showing all varieties of garden
activities and reproductions in coIorS
of the different posters which were
used in spreading the message.
In describing the beginning OF the
movement which developed with such
marvellous speed, Mr.. Pack says:
"While the organizers of the National
War Garden Commission were optI-
mistic and looked forward confidently
10 the accomplishment OF large re-
suits. they little dreamed that the war
Garden movement would grow SO rap
idly. The war garden Idea struck n
patriotic chord. The American peo-
pie answered the call to help win the
war by producing food in their back
wards with the same unanimity ana
enthusiasm they had shown in re-
spending to each other appeal the
country had made for service"
Then after telling of how millions
Of city farmers grabbed their hoes and
got out into the garden trenches" and
of how they followed this up with a
big garden conservation campaign
which piled the pantries high with
canned beans and beets and other
garden products, he goes on to say:
Home food production will continue
because 1t has been found worth
while; and, like other things which
this war has demonstrated to be OF
value and benefit to mankind, 1t will
last. War gardening will permanently
establish Itself because its peace-time
value will fully equal It's wartime
worth. This will be true at all times
but moro particularly during the first
FIVE or ten years of the great recon
struction period. In the city farmer
has been found q partial answer 10 the
stay-on-the-farm idea. Ambitious
young men and women will not re
main in the country where comforts
are denied and where advantages oi
social life and education are few: bu'
they will be glad to farm in the city

young Americans who came 5000 miles
to help break the lines of the Huns

OF course. Of the foreign hono'
medals England's Victoria Cross was
the most coveted and even before the
United states entered the war so many
of our men had fought both in the
British Army and the Canadian and
shown such great bravery that many
of them had been decorated.

little vegetable plot in Bryant PARK
where land is valued at something
like $4,000 a square foot, to the tiny
garden along the railroad right OF

had their war gardens. The war gar
den was found in tiny clearings be-
side the logging camps of LOUISIANA,
in irrigated plots among the arid
sands of New Mexico, and on the

Magnificent Work OF Press
The printed word, the most power
full force known to civilization, MADE
war gardens possible writes MI
Pack. an no other way could they
have been made to multiply so rapidly
in all parts of the land. From print
er's ink to parsnips and parsley is
long jump; but the newspapers ana
magazines made that jump along with
the others which they made for Lib
crty Loans. the Red Cross and various
other war-work campaigns. How much
of a debt of gratitude the nation owes
to its patriotic editors 1t probably
never will be able TO realize fully
but It does know that without their
whole-hearted support and their loyal
assistance it would never have been
able to arouse the people of the Unit
ed States as a whole to the strenuous
efforts which they exerted to back up
the Government and the fighting
forces" Both the daily press ana
the magazines of the country are
praised in this fine memorial volume
which will stand as permanent rec
ord of an important wartime activity,
for their patriotic assistance.
