To every American who served
IN France during the war, this

something that could be classified
among the horrors OF war. Forty

A Mobile Memorial
During the convention az the
American Legion in Paris in 1927
the Forty and Eioht Society was
very conspicuous and French news

their readers. in n friendly way
Of this quaint American humor.
The French veterans. who ten
years before had begun 10 under

Gesture Of Friendship
This presentation is a magnifi

will be appreciated throughout

There are gay decorations. French

and the doorway Of the car has
been draDed with a red velvet

Loyalty Doesn't Just Happen
By Elsie Robinson

WITH PERSISTENT DETER
MINATION.
Unless you're q sap or a fana-
tic, you'll probably never FEEL
100 per cent loyal to any one,
however well beloved he or she
may be. You'll always be
secretly conscious Of their fool
ishness and faults and. at fire.
uuent intervals. bored, disguised.
peeved or shocked.
BUT THESE SECRET REAC-
TONS DO NOT PROVE THAT
YOU ARE DTSLOYAI,--THEY
MERELY PROVE THAT YOU
KNOW YOUR ONIONS.
tAnd. personally, for my own
comfort. I'd much prefer Q
friend who knew I was part
onion to one who thought / was
all tuberoSe.l
You can be loyal In spite Of
knowing onions. You need not
shut your mind to your friends
fault but you can shut your
heart. You can say
Ny friend may be q bit OF q
fool. but who am I to Judge?
I'm 3 bit Of q fool myself so
surely I should be able to for
give him. And love Is worth
the forgiving Of much foolish
ness. Whatever his fault, I love
him : = and I'm going to stand
by hini''
That's Loyalty. Not an Illl-
reasoning, unQuestioning. out
pouring Of impulsive enthusiasm
BUT A DELIBERATE,
CIVILIZED GESTURE or
FIDELITY. TOLERANCE AND
AFFECTION.
Don't be worried II you aren't
loyal

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. Louis 3. Bisch

TlHE person who habitually
sleeps soundly cannot pos
sibly realize what it means to
suffer from insomnia.
Lying awake, trying to sleep.
tossing about, counting mum
bers or sheep running under q
fence all to bring about for
getfulneSS and rest compares
very fayorably with the tor
mentS depicted in Dante's Tn
ferno."
Insomnia is q real torture!
And for this nabitual torture
hundreds u remedies have been
tried.
The chief reason why there
are so many conflicting notions
about insomnia is because It is
erroneollsly looked upon as
though 1t were Q real disease,
with well defined characteristics
and with symptoms that are
identical in every person.
As q natter OF fact, insomnia
is not q disease at all, but
rather q symptom merely, the
cause OF which In every SUI.
ferer Is different.
The problem Of insomnia Is
largely an individual one.
insomnia. is always and In
variably the result Of d cause
and. In order to overcome the
insomnia this cause must be
found.
Naturally. q physical ailment
or pain viii cause insomnia.
Also the perniciOus habit Of
trying to think out problems
after going to bed.
Undoubtedly disturbances in
the love life and the emotional
sphere "a general viii cause
restless sleep. u
But try to find the cause
always there Is sure to be one.
Be regular Ia your habits, es-
pecially about the hour Of retir-
ing and rising.
And don't doze after dinner.
That always spoilS 3 nights
sleep.

THE MARRY.
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland
UNsUNG CHvALRY

Every now and then ! am
amazed to observe the amount
Of gallantry and chivalry that
still exists in this niaterialiSti
modern world.
In spite or all the discourage
ment they have received from
flappers. d-diggerS, alimoni.
acS and the militant feIninlstS.
most men are still cnivalrous at
heart and gallant in their atti-
tade toward women.
1t is true that rhey are not
all Launcelots, ChesterfieIds or
Sir Walter Raleigt1s. Cnivalry.
Is not always picturesque, dl,a-
matte and dasl1ing. It comes
disguised In many homeIier
ways these days. But 1t Is the
same old flower In less gaudy
coloring.
For instance, SOME men are
gallant enough to carry q heavy
suitcase for q woman. for blocks,
while others take it out IN
carrying heavy insurance for
her, for life.
Some men pay q woman
graceful compliments while
others merely marry ner, and
pay her bills and settle her
charge accounts.
One man win send q woman.

other viii cheerftIly put his
nose to the grindst0lle to send
her to Florida for the winter.
one man win relinquisn his
seat In the street car to q
woman, with a grand gesture
while another Just gives up his
Saturday afternoons and holi-
days to help her with the
household chores.
Some men win share their
pleasures, their secrets, their
fountain pens, and even their
last cigarette, with 3 woman
while others are content to-
share their aspirations, their
careers, their incomes and their
successes with her.
Some men will teach 8
woman to drive 4 car. with
sweet and tintiring patience
while others prefer to present
her with car Of llci own,
hire an expert instructor, ana

Some men viii calamity take

Some men will fighs for q

THAT'S chivaIry! Cniyalry
