She's Winner of Doughboys' Medal
in First u. S. Baby Show in France
Photograph In Her Uncle's
Pocket Carries Of Gold
Trophy In Contest.

An American baby show in the
heart OF France! The minds of
Americans overseas are fertile
enough in ideas for the diversion of
the doughboy, but here is some
thing new, devised by two Y. NJ
6. A. women workers.
The show was held at Fort St.
Menge, where the 60lst engineers
were stationed and where, too, there
is a large candidates school. 1t
wasn't a show of real, live babies,
for that, obviously, would be i'm
possible, but it was the next thing
to it.
OF course every soldier-daddv
carries next his heart the picture of
the greatest baby in the world.
There are many soldier bachelors,
too, who find inspiration and en-
enlargement in the photograph of
little brothers or sisters or nephews
or nieces. Combined with this is
the tendency of the doughboy over
seas to tell the American women he
meets all his stories of home and to
show them his latest snapshots
from the U. S. A. Naturally a lot
Of the boys had unbosomed them
selves to Miss Anna Blanton and
Miss Mary Paxton, Y. M. c. A.
workers at Fort St. Menge. The
show of baby pictures resulted.
Every man in the 60lst engineers
and the candidates school was in
vited to prove that his baby was
the cutest on earth by entering his
or her picture. Immediately there
was a rush of candidates, sponsored
by both officers and privates.
Pictures were arranged by classes,
according to age and sex. Class A
was for boys under l year; Class
B for girls under year; Class c
for boys between and 5; Class
E for boys between 5 and 10; Class
D for girls between | and 5: Class
F for girls between and TO-

Heart Beats
By A. K.

We sighed to be
A cat one day
, With naught to do
But eat and purr
And keep quite clean
Our glossy fur,
But while we sighed
We suddenly spied
A rock glance from
Our kitty's nose.
Poor little cat!
Wicked boy!
Lucky us!
Then one June morn
When quite forlorn
We longed to be
A nice cur dog
And play with kids
On fishing sprees
And chase their pet cats
Up high trees.
We saw the dog
We'd like to be
And then a lovely" kid
Came up
And tied tin can
To his tail.
All me! Poor dog.
Poor tail!
Bad kid.
Lucky US!
We changed our mind
And envied next
The bride who won
A millionaire.
She had no cares
Just jealous stares-
From those of us
Who envied her.
Her jewels were rare
Her gowns bespoke
The wealth her husband
Brought to her.
Her cars were grand
She could command
A chauffeur in tan livery
To drive her here and there.
And everywhere.
All me! Oh my!
Lies so unjust!
We sobbed and cried
Fate played us mean trick;
But wait
Just then
We turned quite sick
And dumb
And cold
We ask Fate's pardon
And take back
Every word we spoke
For we have seen
Her husband.
Fine cars! Poor girl!
Horrid husbandl
We do not wish
TO be a dog
Or cat or
Rich mans bride.
Fate hasn't been half
Mean to us
And knows just how
Life should divide.

RED CROSS

From the men who fell from a
wrecked train in the river to the
Omaha chapter of the Red Cross:
The members of this organization
wish to express their hearty thanks
and gratitude to the Red Cross Mo-
tor corps and Canteen Workers, for
their kindness to US upon our arrival
at Omaha, after our misfortune in
the Salt Creek, Sunday morning.
Were it not for this assistance,
we would have been in fix indeed,
especially those Of us who were in
jured We believe that Uncle Sam,
not being prepared for such an
emergency, would have been unable
to give US prompt attention.
We will always have warm place
in our hearts for Omaha, and though
we received very cold" reception
near Ashland, it was more than
made up for here.
One of the things we found out,
both in France and the United
States, is that whenever any of the
boys were in trouble, the American
Red Cross was always the first to
help.
You may be sure that our rela-
tives and friends at home will share
in our feelings toward you and your
organization.
With our best wishes.
