Sleepy times a creepy time at our house;
The kids just see who tells the biggest tales,
While sit there and kinder stare, still as a mouse,
And out of doors the wind just means and walls.
Sometimes dream of things that scream till I'm afraid
To go upstairs when bedtime comes again.
Sometimes, l own, l hear a moan like what is made
By things at night when they are in great pain.

So plain and close that he could might nigh touch.

ON STARR
 VETERAN CF SEAS

One begins to realize the worth of good marine engines, what they mean and perhaps what would happen if they failed to function properly, when day after day one listens to the smooth-running en- zines of the mail steamer Starr. The heavy duty being performed constantly, year in and year out, is not only a credit to the manu- facturers but also to those in charge of the machinery.
 On the s. s. Starr, Chief Engin- ger Sheridan is the man and under him he has very efficient staff. The chief has followed the sea for 25 years and has travelled, with one or two exceptions, to almost every port in the world, His engineering activities has been wide, from small steamers to some of the larg- est in the world.
 On ones next sea trip consider for few moments the men down in the engine room; the men who keep the engines turning over from the time you leave a port until the destination is reached They are in class by themselves, those chaps, and to them we doff the old Kelly.

These many extra dollars represent many hours of work, fishing and hunting, and the folks are grate- lful and appreciate this accommo- dation on the part of MT. Shiels.

FIRST DIVISION
WILL MEET HERE
Annual Reunion Will Be Held
From October 20 to rs,
Inclusive.

Veterans of the famous First Division
OF the American Expeditionary Forces
will hold their annual reunion in WASH
ington october % to rs, inclusive. Ap-
proximately $1,000 men served at one
time or another in the division during
the World War.
The approaching reunion is one of
significance as war memorial bearing
the names of $500 dead of the division
was erected in Washington in 1924.
Gen. Charles P. Summerall, retiring
Chief of Staff of the Army and who
is president of the First Division So
ciety, being former divisional COM
mander, in message to the veterans,
said:
I'VE now propose to assemble this
year at the home of the shrine to our
dead, to honor their memory and to
feel the bonds of comradeship that
unite the living. For me, the senti-
ment is especially strong, as it will be
my last meeting with you while on the
active list of the Army. 1t is my hope
to greet at least as many of our COM
radeS as came to the dedication of the
monument, and to the great number who
want to come and cannot do so, and
especially to our wounded and the fam
flies of our dead I send my affection
ate remembrance and gratitude for all
that they have done in service and
fidelity, and my fervent wish for their
happiness and success in life"
The District of Columbia, Maryland
and West Virginia contributed both
National Guard and National Army
troops to fill the gaps in the ranks

BIRTH Certificate
WORTH is STRESSED
Virginia Vital Statistics Registrar
Cites Importance Of
Registration.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
RICHMOND. Va, September 8.-The
Importance of correctly filed birth GER
tificates was urged by DR.. w. A.
Picker, registrar of the Bureau of
Vital Statistics, Department of Health
He suggested that mothers should at
once look up the birth certificates of
their children and have them at hand
when school opens within few days.
DR.. Picker pointed out that certifi-
Gates are needed by children when they
reach the age of Il in order to work
under the child labor law, by persons
desiring TO secure soldiers pensions and
compensations, by those who apply for
passports to travel abroad and other
uses
You adults are applying in vain for
birth certificates to use In taking civil
service examinations for Government
positions" he said. THE jobs of many
policemen and chauffeurs depend upon
producing Virginia birth certificates,
which do not exist because the appli-
cants were born before June IL, 1912"
Securing workmen's compensation
frequently depends upon producing
birth and death certificates from the
Bureau Of Vital Statistics, DR.. Picker
said.
