General Praises Y. M. C.. A.

Paris.-There are some fools in the
Y. M. G. A, according to Brig. Gen. J.
P. O'Neil of the Ninetieth division.
"Our Y. M. G. A. is everything to be
DESIRED said the general. "Among the
employees are some fools. One of them
was such a fool that he would not
stay away from the front line, and he
got so tied up with Boche shells and
other projectiles that we were forced
to recommend him for a Distinguished
Service Cross. That is a sample of the
men you have sent to us. Please keep
this work up and whether 1 am com
handing this divisiuer not, the things
that you have done will make lasting
impression upon it."

Peculiar Bush Beans.

Careful tests have shown that GER
tain kinds of bush beans which as q
rule bear one good crop Of early beans
and then cease to produce, will, when
started in flowpots under glass, pro-
duce fine crop much earlier than
those planted in the open soil, and con-
tinue to produce beans all through the
summer up until the vines are cut by
frost in autumn. It is supposed the
age Of the plant makes the difference,
as the one started under glass Is
older before it bears any beans at ALL

WHEN SHELLS FLY
MAN WHO SAW WAR ON FOUR
FRONTS ESCAPES DEATH
MANY TIMES WHILE SERV-
ING SOLDIERS.

Chicago.-More than 700 7. M. @. A.
workers saw service with the soldiers
Of the American eXpeditionary force in
the front lines during the last months
Of the war.
Frank NJ Van Epps, seriously
wounded while serving as 7. M. c. A.
worker in the Argonne, told Of some Of
his experiences in talk at the Y. NJ.
G. A. college here:
On the way to France last April on
the OronZo, Van Epps and 56 other
''Y'' men narrowly escaped drowning
when the ship was torpedoed by a
German U-boat
Van Epps was divisional secretary
of the Y. NJ. G. A. outfit. He worked
with the Fifth division until the armis-
tice was signed He was dressed up in
a doughboy's uniform when he arrived
here. A limp and a kitbag slung over
his shoulder containing what is left of
his equipment complete his couvenirs
Of more than six months service over
seas.
Van Epps saw the war on four fronts
in France and Alsace, serving in the
frst-line trenches on two Of them.
When the Oronzo was tOrpedOed on
April 20 60 miles off the coast Of
Wales U-boats "got'' two out of a con-
voy of seven steamships. The OronZo
went down in IL minutes after she was
struck, and Van Epps and other "Y"
men lost all their baggage. They were
picked up by a torpedo-boat destroyer
and landed at Hollyhead, Wales.
In Front Line.
In southern and middle Alsace, Van
Epps was in the first-line trenches and
at st. Mihiel, when the drive opened,
he became a stretcher bearer after his
supplies ran out. Getting word to
shift to the ArgOnne, he Travelled all
night by train, on trucks and afoot,
ing in shell holes and trenches when
he was not at work.
At Madeleine farm, on October IS,
Van Epps and Thomas f. Hadley Of
.
shop in an old barn. All but three Of
the twenty-five "Y'' workers went back
to get supplies. The barn had been
under shell fire for several days, but
Van Epps and Hadley decided it was
good enough to sleep in. They built
a bed Of boxes Of jam, with a tub Of
chewing tobacco for pillow and lay
down.
Half a mile back, an American bat
terry was hammering the Germans, and
two German airsplanes came over look
ing for the position. They let go two
bombs which landed on each side of
the barn. Soon came a third, which
struck the roof, bringing down a mass
of rafters and beams and scattering
shrapnel. A splinter was driven
through the calf Of one of Hadley's
legs and a piece of shell tore through
both Of Van Epps' thighs.
After dressing stations and field hos
pitfalls had finished with them they
spent half day in an ambulance and
then were put aboard a French hos
pital train, where they remained an
other two days. One of these days was
Sunday, SO Van Epps, at the sugges-
ton of some of the doughboys, "put
on service, conducting it propped
up in his stretcher.

What every woman knows-among
other things-is, that nothing is quite
so satisfying as fine white frock for
summertime. Embroidered voiles and
Swisses, beautiful and practical, are
here to lend the charm and refinement
of white to summer wardrobes. In the
picture plain and embroidered wolfe
is shown made up into a short sleeved
frOck and finished off, with a girdle
and full bow of narrow ribbon. The
underskirt~ is made of the embroidered
wolfe, showing pattern in which
bands run around the figure. A short
underbodice of this has elbow sleeves
and a drapery of plain wolfe which
carries out the idea revealed in the
long and full panniers of plain wolfe in
the skirt.

Really True.

An Indianapolis seventh grade was
studying the gender of nouns. AS a
final review the teacher asked the pu-
pill to give a few definitions. Mascu-
line gender was defined and then came
the request for a definition of the
feminine. Alice, whose mother is a
rather noted feminist, recited: "Fem-
mime gender is the gender that OPP
poses masculine"
