the service rendered by DeRoy r. Fon-
Vile of Burlington, N c., in his Y. M.
C. A. work overseas that Major Gen.
eral l.. S. Upton has written him a
personal letter in appreciation Of his
efforts.

the Ninth infantry for some time and
wish to convey to you my appreciation
of the accomplishing and soldier-like

"My experience gave me an apprec-

can go through" said Mr.. Fonville.
Our division was shock unit. 1t

THEIR FIRST IDEAS OF LIFE

That pep and all the other charac-

quote:
"Look over the drama of life that
your small son and daughter are re-
producing there on the nursery floor.
What is the basis of the girls idea Of
the real world? It is playing house.
Isn't that a profound and beautiful
fact? Already she is carrying out
those instincts that are as old as the
race. She mothers her dolls, rocks
them to sleep, trundles them in car
rage. She furnishes their house and
keeps 1t in housewifely order with lit
tie broom or carpet sweeper. She
launders their garments with tub,
dashboard ard tiny iron; she cooks
lin irnagination) their meals upon a
stove and sets them forth In dainty

fer the boy the opportunity to act out
the primitive masculine life that APP
peals so strongly to his youth, the life
Of simple, manly prowess. He would
far rather be brave soldier, fireman,
engineer or sailor than lawyer, pro-
fessor, painter or poet. He revels in
those sturdy playthings that he can
arrange and rearrange, draw, propel,
sail--in fine, can direct and operate
with his own lively young energies"

only one-tenth as high among vaccinat-

Guatemala's catastrophe in ordinary
times would fill large space in the
newspapers. Now 1t falls in among
the many stories of disaster and suf-
fering that have marched in long pro-
cession through the columns of the
press for the last three years.
But 1t is good to know that there
exists an organization which is never
deaf to the cry of humanity for help;
an organization whose responsiveness
grows with need, and that, burdened
as never before in its history, is able
to meet each new demand with prompt
ministration.

Paris, Feb. THE steady unset,
fshness OF the American soldier,
shown by the way he Cleaned his

Portchester, N Y, who served eleven
months as Y. NJ G. A. worker with

charge was the third battalion of the
1O3rd infantry. He Joined that unit
on the st. Mihiel front, went with
them to Chateau Thierry, and later
WAS in the famous st. Mihiel cleanup
and the drive before Verdun.
"It was Just before that action be.
gan" said Baker, that saw the finest
example of the characteristic unselfish-
ness of the boys. They cleaned their
pockets' for the folks at home. They
knew they were going up against the
real thing, and they wanted all their
money to go home in case they never
came back. In all, was entrusted
with 100000 francs - upwards OF
81 900 600 - before that attack. We
handled such funds through the regu'
lar Y. M. C. A. service established for
sending money from soldiers to rela-
tives in America"
Baker lived with his battalion, and

p,vision,' as it was called, was kept
IN the fighting front almost continu
ously.
