No table is complete without flow

or dinner table. Even field flowers
gathered from the roadside are quite
acceptable if they are nicely ar
ranged Violets mingled with their
own green leaves arbutus in fiat
dishes, spreading bouquets of dog
wood, mountain laurel and wild aza.
lea, daisies, red and pink clover,
buttercups. goldenrod and asters-as
the seasons change there are lovely
flowers for the table to be had for the
picking from spring to fall.
Especially at this time Of the year
when flowers can be gathered OF
bought so cheaply at the florists
there is no excuse save laziness for
not having them.

The 1SSth On the Water

Washington, April 19-After year
in France, all the 35th Division soon
will be at home. Up to Thursday, the
filing date of the latest cablegrams re-
ceived by the War Department an
nouncing sailing of transports, ap-
proximately twenty-five thousand men
of the division had embarked for three
ports-New York, Newport News and
Boston. The latest of the units an
nounced as having sailed is the 138th
Infantry, which left st. Nazaire on
the Aeolus last Thursday. Not until
late this afternoon was the War De-
partment able to announce its depart
ure. Cablegrams to the department
on the movement Of tHDops from
abroad are sent the day after sailing,
and usually after arrival they are
held several hours for DECIDING. Pri-
vate messages get through faster.
The Aeolus will bring eighty-six Of
ficers and 3,118 men of the 138th In
fantry to Newport News, the port at
which Major General Wright and ad-
vance detachments of the division are
due to arrive tomorrow on the Dekalb.
The regiment will be scattered among
a dozen camps. About one thousand
four hundred officers and men will be
demobilized at Camp Taylor, Sher-
man and Dodge, and Camp Funston
will get the bulk of the remainder.
Although the AeOlus took fifteen days
on her last journey to this country,
the War Department navigation
branch said last night that the boat
was due April 20. This allows twelve
days for the trip. The AeOlus has been
steadily engaged in taking troops
across and bringing them back. She is
described by an officer who crossed in
her to France as q commodious ves-
sci, making twelve knots an hour in
