His Wish.


Ted does not like to 60 to, Sunday
school, but his father makes him At

RESEMBLE ACRES OF LILIES
Visitors Beautiful Description Of the
American Cemeteries in France
-Exquisite In Uniformity.

Though American relatives usually
want to plant flowers ON the graves
of their SONS or brothers in the Amer
lean army cemeteries tn France, an
army ruling forbidding this has been
adhered to. The cemeteries, Z uni
form stretch Of green grass with white
crosses, look like "acres Of white Ill
les" according to Miss Elsie Goddard,
q Wellesley, graduate who has returned
TO this country after having had super
vision of the 7. w. G. A. rest huts
built for the comfort Of relatives Wis
iting the graves in four of the. Ameri.
can cemeteries fl Trance. AT first
every one wants to plant flowers on,
the grave they love, says Miss God
dard, but they soon see that the army:
ruling keeps the cemeteries most beau
tiful and impressive because Of the
uniformity. Cut flowers can be placed.
on graves and flowers en- be planted
in the flower beds near by, but not
on the graves. The French people,
who are eager to decorate the graves
in some parts are often surprised at
this ruling, but our cemeteries, as cared
for are wonderfully impressive. Aft
ter visiting them few Americans want
to take the bodies of their boys home,
though theyshave been determined to
do it before they came" The Y. W. G.
A. and Red Cross combine in main
tanning rest huts at Romagne, Bony,
Belleau Woods and Fere-en-Tardenois.
mo matter how prepared a mother
and father are for what they expect
to see, the first sight Of the field Of
American graves overwhelms them"
says Miss Goddard.

IN western France, northern Germany,
In Denmark, Africa, Madagascar,
Asia. from Mt. Sinai and the Caucasus

found on lonely Easter island in the
Pacific ocean. M. Levistre, a French
archeologist, believes they were erect

students are inclined to- believe the
Phoenfcians reached America by the

 The red squirrel is not so provident as tise chipmunk. He lays up stores ir- regularly. by fits and starts: he never has enough put up to carry him over the winter, hence he is more or less ac- tive ali the season. Long before the December snow. the chpmunk has for days been making hourly tirps to his den with full pockets of nuts or corn or buekwheat, till his bin holds enough ocarry him through to April
