PRETTY TRIBUTE TO YANKS
Welsh Girl Enthusiastic over the
Good Qualities of the Boys
Fighting in France.

Testimony to the qualities of some
of the American troops in France is
given by girl member of the wom-
ans auxiliary army corps in a letter
to her home folk at Cardiff, Wales.
She says:
1--WE are stationed inside an Ameri-
can camp in a huge old French cav
airy barracks. We are doing clerical
work with hundreds and hundreds of
Americans in the Central Records Of
fee. We deal with the whole Ameri-
can army records and, excepting the
cooks, mattresses, ETC., all we odd 400
girls are really the 'Waacs' of the
American expeditiOnary force.
1--WE love the work, we love the
camp and the boys look after us well.
They are splendid fellows. We have
comfortable rooms, a recreation room
and hockey and are as happy as pos
sible. And now we are getting up a
grand revue called The Battle Of
BOurgas.' l am to be q French girl.
The chorus is one of the best and the
music truly American. I'm afraid
your music over there when we come
back won't have enough pep in it.
Honestly, the boys can play. Even
those who are doing scavenger work
in the camp can play the violin and
piano."

Loaded Cigars.

Around the hotels of San Francisco
patrons are warned to be on the look
out for the old trick Of the loaded
cigar. Some inventive genius has put
out one that contains fireworks and
when it begins to shoot the air is
filled with set pieces representing
men on horseback, French trenches,
and the retreat of the Huns. w. H.
Harl, fnancier and investor of Helena,
Mont, AYERS that these things are
true and that he saw parade of won
derful pictures when a friend slipped
him one of the cigars in the lobby of
the Palace last week. He says that
cigar produced the entire battle of
Chateau-Thlerry before he could
smother it.-Oregonian.

Some Doubt About II.

One of our good hOusekeepers knows
she has no ear for music. but when
she is hustling around her pots and
pans and scrubbing and washing out
tea towels she cannot cOnstrain hum
ming a bit just out of her cleaning-up
Joy. Now there is also a little neigh
Dor boy who plays under her window.
Once, while the process Of scrubbing
was going on above, the little fellow
looked up to the window with a face
all puckered and serious, as if some
question had been troubling him for
quite a while.
"Well, Toby, what's the matter?" in
quired the hOusekeeper.
A long pause-then. "Please ma'am
is you singing?"-I@lianapolis News.

HELD PASToRATE IN OHIO
Old Church Records Tell of the Work
of President Wilson's Maternal
Grandfather.

The coming of Thomas woodrow,
maternal grandfather of President
Wilson, to Ohio to preach, is noted
briefly in the records of the Chilli
cothe presbytery. At a meeting held
at BloOmingburg September IL 1885,
"ThOmas Woodrow, a member OF the
Congregational Union of England" re-
ouested to be received. His case was
referred to a committee. AT the next
meeting of the presbytery, held at klp-
ley in 1888, he was accepted and I'M
mediately received a call from the
church at ChillicOthe, which, being ac-
cepted, he was installed the first Fri
day in November of that year.
The next entry of interest in the
history referring to Rev. Mr.. Wood
row is in the records of the presby-
tery held in Red Oak in 1847, to the
effect that because of feeble health he
had resigned his pastOrate with the
church at ChillicOthe and the relation
was dissolved. He died at his home
near Columbus in April, 1877.
1t was his grandfatherS church anu
his old home in Carlisle, Eng, that
President Wilson visited the first Sun
day he was in England last December.
He was born at Paisley, Scotland, IN
1901, educated at Glasgow university
did missionary work in the Orkneys,
settled as the pastor of the 1ndepend-
ept church of Carlisle, came to Ameri-
ca in 1885, locating first at BrOckville,
Can. 1: was from that place that he
went to ChillicOthe.

According to Samuel Gompers
"the right sort of industrial unrest
means progress, But it can't be
the right sort when it is fomented
by professional agitators, imbued
with hatred of government, the
scum of foreign nations, ignorant
of what is good, beastial in their
selfishness and criminals in their
methods.

l Another factor working against
