THOMAS o. NEIBOUR,
Private, Company Nj, 18TH Infantry.


Private Neibour, whose home is at
Sugar City, Idaho, was decorated for
conspicuous gallantry in action near
Landres-et-St Georges, France. Octo-
Der IL, 1918. On the afternoon of Oc-
tober 10, when the Cote de Chatillen
had just been gained after bitter fight
ing, and the summit of that strong bull
wark in the krienhilde Stellung was be-
Ing organized, Private Neibour was
sent on patrol with his automatic rife
squad to enfilade enemy machine gun
nests. As Private Neibour gained the
ridge he set up his automatic rifle and
was directly thereafter wounded in
both legs by fire from hostile machine
gun on his flank. The advance wave
of the enemy troops concentrating
had about gained the ridge and al
though practically cut off and sur
rounded, the remainder of his detach-
ment being killed or wounded. this
gallant soldier kept his automatic rifle
in operation to such effect that by his
own efforts and by fire from the Skin
mish line of his company at least 100
yards in his rear, the attack was
checked. The enemy wave being halt
ed and lying prone, four of the enemy
attacked Private Neibour at close
quarters. These he killed. He then
moved along among the enemy lying
on the ground about him, in the midst
of the fire from his own lines, and by
his GOODNESS and gallantry captured
eleven prisoners at the point of his pis-
tol and, although painfully wounded,
brought them back to our lines. The
counter-attack in full force was ar
rested, to large extent, by the single
efforts OF this soldier, whose heroic ex-
ploits took place against the skyline
in full view of his entire battalion.

All thoughts are turned toward
Easter now. which l. the same thing
as saying all thoughts are turned to-
ward new millinery and new suits TO-

Tor women. the instinct to dress IL

The most important item of the
spring wardrobe is the tailored suit. al
ways the character of dress that

spring because of the diversity Of
styles and materials that have been
presented by those who create suits.
For once in the history of tailore

other weaves in wool. such as tricot.

EDWARD c. ALLWORTH,
Captain. e0th Infantry.

Capt. Allworth won the Distin-
guished Service Cross for bravery in
action at Clery-le-Petit, France, No
vember 8, 1918. While his company
was crossing the Meuse river and canal
AT q bridgehead opposite Clery-le-Pe-
tit, the bridge over the canal was de-
stroyed by shell fire and Capt. ALL
worth's command became separated,
part Of it being on the east bank of the
canal and the remainder on the west
bank. Seeing his advance units max.
ing slow Roadway up the steep slope
ahead, this officer mounted the canal
bank and called for his men to follow.
Plunging in he swan across the canal
under fire from the enemy. followed by
his men. Inspiring his men by his ex-
ample of gallantry. he led them up the
slope, joining the hard-pressed pla-
toonS in front. BY his personal leader
ship he forced the enemy back for
more than a kilometer, overcoming ma
chine gun nests and capturing a hun
dred prisoners, whose number exceed
ed that of the men in his command.
The exceptional courage and leader

possible the establishment of a
bridgehead over the canal and the sue
cessful advance of other troops. Capt.

silk. materials that are mixtures OF
silk and wool. come in for generous
share Of attention. 4 scarcity of wool
in wartimes brought these new fab
RIGS for suits into the foreground.
But the diversity in materials is as
nothing 10 the diversity in styles, ex-
cept that skirts are uniformly long
and coats generally short. suit styles
have little in common. They range
from perfectly straight-line models,
through semi-fitted coats, to the Rus
sian blouse. Some of the coats are
belted and many of them are NOT.
Braids are used freely and buttons
well represented, but there are brazil
less and buttonless models that are
quite as smart and correct.
The waistcoat must be given special
mention because II is attracting as
much attention as suits themselves,
and presents as wide Il variety in ma
terials and decoration. The two suits

pure; that is, every stalk should be
similar in appearance and In produc-

The mixed or hybrid variety will
never do this. for many of the stalks
will be barren or will be "shy" pro-
ducers. 1t is also emphasized that

CHARLES F. HOFFMAN,,
Gunnery Sergeant, 49th Company, 9Th
Regiment ". S. M. c..

Sergt. Hoffman received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross for an act OF
conspicuous gallantry in action with
the enemy near Chateau-Thierry,
France June G, 1913. Immediately
after the company in which Sergt.
Hoffman belonged had reached It's OBJ
jective on Hill 142, several counter-at-
tacks were launched against the line
before the new position had been con-
solidated. Sergt. Hoffman was at
tempting to organize a position on the
north slope of the hill when he saw
twelve. of the enemy, armed with FIVE
light machine guns, crawling toward
his group. Giving the alarm, he rushed
at the hostile detachment, bayonetted
the two leaders, and forced the others
to fee, abandoning their guns. His
quick initiative and courage routed the
enemy from position from which they
could have swept the hill with machine
gun fire and forced the withdrawal Of
our forces. His home is in Brooklyn,

the combustion chamber and then
cranking the engine slowly a few
times. may answer the purpose, al
though as long as the needle valve is
open some fuel will continue to be
drawn into the cylinders.
Testing the Compression.
1t seldom happens that the compress
sion of an engine suddenly becomes
so poor through ordinary wear as to
make IT impossible to start with the
methods commonly used. An open
valve, however, will bring about this
result. Anyone who has ever started
a gasoline engine when. il was in good
working order should be able To tell at
once whether the compression is en-
tirely gone as soon as he undertakes
To crank the engine. When compress
sion suddenly fails 1t is probable that
The trouble is due to leaky piston rings
or valves and the remedy is usually OBJ
vious when once the cause is located
The hiss made by the escaping air dur
ing the compression stroke is often
enough to indicate the plate where it
is escaping.
