Dear Charlena:

l gave talks and recitations to the
soldiers. We spoke ten times
twice at large hospitals-and al
ways with enormous success. The
soldiers gave us wild applause. My
program grows more varied and in
teresting every week
We spoke at a great hospital
the largest in France-where there
are 1000 American sick soldiers,
wounded and with shell-shock and
other maladies. / think / helped
cheer up many OF them. I hope In
some of our journeys I may find

We have had ten very hard days
and I am pretty tired. But now
l shall stay In this most comfort
able hotel till the middle OF August
before going out again. There aro
several camps within motoring dis
lance ! can go to from here.
We have decided to stay over
here until next April unless the
war ends sooner. The great bat
tie now raging looks as IL 1t might
end sooner. II Is very exiting to
be here so+near 1t all. and TO go 10
the hospitals and to see and talk
to the men right from the battles.
But II pulls on the heart-strings
terribly. What we see and hear
and know that cannot be written
would make volumes.

Pleated Serge Skirt
Becomes MILDLY Suits,

DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:
/ will tell you how l saved quite
few dollars at one time. On going
through my trunk ! found an old serge
pieated skirt that l had not worn for
years. so I cut Off the pleated part at
the top and got enough perfectly good
material to make my little threeyear
old boy two MILDLY suits. One trimmed
in white braid and the other I trimmed
in red braid and embroidered red
anchor in the guimpe. They are very
bee coming and will stand a lot of year.

the rough roads the milk was

the various truck men, and all
those who try, often in vain, to
reach our doors with the necessi-

proposed proposition.

all for a good road fund, why not
first, put all the necessary roads
in as good condition as the main

material are cheaper consider pay

muaMizs STILL HIDDEN.

Although the armistiee was signed
more than year ago, Egyptian
mummies belonging to the British
museum arc still lying in cold, damp
underground tunnels Of buildings,
where they we're reinterred so that
they might not be injured by Zeppe-
lin raids.
Previously having spent centuries
in the tombs of kings in Egypt, if
they could speak the mummies
would resent this troglodytic exist
ence, but school children have
spoken for them. They want to see
the mummies again, but the museum
is still closed to the public and the
mummies are still left in their hid
ing places Of Zeppelin days.

.AEROPLANE 10 BE USED IN ANTARCTIC
Explorer Plans First Flight To South Pole About Christmas Day This Year-WilI Be Gone Five
 Years the Expectation.
1Ry InternatIonal Newa seryice.l

 London, March lS.-For the first In history, according to announcement made here recently by John l.. Cope. r. R. c. S., an aeroplane will be used in an attempted flight to the South Pole. Cope will sail from London in tJune on the Terra Nova, as head of the British Imperial Antarctic expedi- ton, and will spend five years in the Antartic studying eonoitrons. The ex- petition is purely scientific.
 The flight will be made, Cope an nounced, about Christmas Day this year, and will be accomplished in two stages. The aeroplane, carrying three men, sledge, provisions, tent. and all equipment to enable the air-men to walk back to their base in event of any accident happening during the journey, will start from the Great Ice Barrier in the Bay of Whales and fly to the foot of the great ice mountains. where there are peaks which rise to more than Il. 900 feet. There all sur plus stores and petrol will be landed so as to tighten the machine for the flight over the mountain range.
 This flight" Cope said, is not be- ing made merely as stunt, if I may use that word. It is intended to take photographs from the air during the whole journey and to chart the in, terior."
 After the flight to the South Pole has been accomplished, Cope said, the aeroplane will be taken back to the ship. and at Wellington, New Zealand, will be overhauled. The ship will bring the plane back to the ice in the following Summer season, and during the next four seasons it will be used whenever possible to make flights over the continent By using an aero plane Cope is convinced that the sci entists accompanying the party will be able to accomplish in one season as much work as-could be accomplish ed in four seasons by the methods hitherto adopted.
 During the time that the Terra Nova is circumnayigating the Antarctic the aeroplane will be in use, flying from the ice to lands hitherto unexplored

and uncharted.

and uncharted.
 For the first time in history, Cope announced. three scientists will pass a Winter on the Great Ice Barrier, studying the conditions, and obserya- ton stations will be established at many different parts of the continent. Geology also will be an important feature of the expedition. It is intend ed to investigate the resources of the Western Mountains, a huge range which is of the same geological struc- ture and period as the Andes of south America, where valuable mineral de posits exist, rubies.- copper. coal, man ranese. granite and marble have been found in the Western Mountains, and in the bed of the ocean, gold also has been discovered. Prospecting can be done. Cone asserts, in the Summer sea son. and when claims are established, work underground can be carried out all the year around, put, of course shipments could only be made during the brief summer season. Aviation will, he is convinced, play an impor- tant part~in the development of the Antarctic, for its use will greatly in crease the period during which ship ments of cargo can be made.
 Mir. Cope added that among the of ficers and men who are to accompany him on the expidition are many who served on previous expeditions, inclu- ding Ernest Joyce, who was with Cap tain Scott and the two Shackleton ex- petitions. Joyce will be second in command of the British Imperial Ant arctic Expedition.

NEW RULING PUTS
 TABOO ON WHISkEY
Attorney General Arbuckle Says Al cohol Means Just "AlcohoI'' and That Druggists Cannot
 Ship in CT Sell Whiskey.

Little Rock, March 1S.-When the Legislature passed the Bone-dry law for Arkansas, did 1t mean whiskey when it said 'alcoholYe
 Attorney General Arbuckle holds that it meant alcohol and nothing else. and cites the law itseli. and Web. ster's Dictionary and the Supreme Court reports in support of his ruling
 The effect of this will be that drug gists cannot prescribe whiskey under the provision of the law which says that it shall net be unlawful flor any registered pharmacist or physician to have shipped and delivered to him such necessary quantities of alcohol as may be required in his business or profession"
 The law provides that alcohol may be shipped into the state for medicinal industrial or scientific purposes, but not word is said about shipping whiskey in the same for such purposes.
 All authorities agree that alcohol is constituent of Whiskey. Webster says, While it is the intoxicating principle of all intoxicating drinks. within the meaning of the ordinary prohibition statutes, 1t is rarely in it's pure state used as a beverage"
 The Attorney General holds that eno permits should be issued to druggists or physicians in the state of Arkansas to sell whiskey. brandy or other in toxicating liquors of that nature. as under the terms of the Bone Dry Act it Is evident that the intention of the Legislature was that alcohol alone should be transported into this state and from one place to another in this state and sold and used in this state. and that for the purposes only as cited in said Bone Dry Act"
