j. w. AhYen
Evacuated To
United St0tes

Pfc. J. w. Ahrens has arrived
in the States after weeks of hos
pitalization in England, as the
result of battle fatigue"
But the young soldier has been
suffering from more than is inn
piled in the word fatigue" as
he vas blown out of a foxhole
somewhere on the First Army
front in France, and did not re-
gain consciousness until he awoke
in a hospital in England.
There he learned that the gre
made exploded just as he was
fixing his bayonet and had start
ed out of the foxhole. He kept
stumbling forward until he was
caught in barbed-wire entangle-
ments from which he was rescued
by a comrade.
The latter, Drawing heavy ma
chinegun fire, crawled to All
rens, released him from the wire
and carried him back to the fox
hole, where he remained until
rescued by the needles.
Ahrens has been overseas twice
before. He enlisted four and a
half years ago. He says he is going
to re-enlist, if he is still needed
as soon as he is fully recovered.
This last statement is because
he expects a medical discharge
in a few weeks.
He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. w. Ahrens, ST., of Pascagoula.

The button they sewed
on Toms shirt 9 fines

xZou know Tom, although perhaps you cali him
i by another name. A shy, quier boy who has sud-
denly become a man in the midst Of war. Until ne
went into the Army Tom had never been away from
home. But now he's three thousand miles from Nom
and Dad. and a boy can become mighty lonely, even
in an army of millions.
But here in the jungle, as though by some miracle,
a Red Gross club has been established. And inside are
girls. smiling, wholesome American girls who speak
your language and are SO much like sis...or the girl
next door.
Tom knows that among a score of heart-wafming
jobs these Red Cross girls perform is the simple, honey
act Of helping a CT sew on buttons. So Tom has torn
a button from his shirt and a Red Cross girl is sewing
il on. And a little later Tom will tear off that same
button again. In all (and this IS an actual easel, that
button was sewed on 4 total of nine timesl
The girls know, and smile induIgently. A little
thing, yes, but such little, friendly services can give
a big lift to the spirits of a lonely service man far
away from home.
This is the only appeal the Red Cross win make to
you this year. Won't you give as much as you can a

Three percent of the pari-mu-
tuel take" and IS per cent of
admissions would be turned over
to the state, according to the
measure, which would put Jai-
Alai under the Jurisdiction. of the
State Racing Commission.
War Mobilizer James F. Byrnes'
racing edict will cost Massachu-
sets an estimated $6,000,G00. Fig
ures for 1914 show that the state
received $2,19O,8Oo from Suffolk
Downs horse race track; another
$17,036 from horse racing at fairs;
and $3,939,92 from dog racing.
If the bill passes, it will mark
the first time Jai-Alai has been

War Production Says
No Plan Considered
For Sports Brownout

WASHINGTON, March 7.-P)-
There is mo disposition to place
baseball or other nighttime sports
under the brownout ban, a War
Production source said today.
With the opening of the big
league season little more than
a month off, reports have circu-
lated that the Government intends
to curtail night games in order
to conserve lighting.
'"rhe use of recreational light
ing was discussed when the brown
out regulation was drawn up the
WPB said, but it was reasoned
that if persons did not attend ball
games and such events, they
would consume a lot of lighting in
their homes.
Changing conditions conceivably
could alter the WPB's thinking
along such lines, this source said,
but added there is no pressure
and no disposition" TO do SO now.
