native to the West Indies and it
was to the sailors whose ships
came back from those islands of
romance that Rockland homes look

small round pasteboard boxes,
beautiful in quaint labels. Today,
alas, there are no ships sailing home

Word comes from Florida that the
guava, once despised fruit. is be-

and seems likely to grow into one

St. Louis. June s LPt-The army was described as great "univer- sity of practical experience" by Secretary Of War Dwight r. Davis in an address prepared for delivery today at commencement exercises of Washington university here, of which he is a graduate.
 When most of us think of the regular army we probably think of q hard boiled military machine, in terested only in making citizens into soldiers" the secretary said. "I like 10 think of 1t rather as an educational institution interested in making soldiers into citizens. Recently l found that 40 per cent Of our enlisted men spent at least a part of their time in attending schools. Nearly 500 trades useful in civil life are taught through prac- tical experience in the regular army"
