Sir Eric Geddes
Didn't Want SaluteS

Here's a story of Sir Eric Geddes,
director general of transportation to
the British army, one of Britanis
greatest railway figures. Geddes ar
rived in France in a generals uni
form, but little experienced in mill
tary matters. One evening as he
walked UP and down at his quarters,
meditating some problems, sentry
whom he passed presented arms each
time. 1t disturbed Sir Eric's thoughts
and he walked up to the sentry. and
said, Look here, don't do that bust
ness with your rifle. Forget my
brass hat and keep quiet" IS
When women meet they gossip,
and when men meet they go sip.
