By the Way
BETH BLAINE.

Like most of the wives of over
seas officers, Mrs. Robert w. Has
brouck does a full share of volun-
teer war work here on the home
front. AS member of the Red
Gross Motor Corps she has
worked with the War Loan
Drives, served on the dispatch
desk, driven for the. Navy and
with the Walter Reed Detail.
Just now she is especially in
terested in the establishment of
a new shuttle service for. Walter
Reed patients.
1t was an Army colonel patient
at the hospital who was respon-
sible for the idea for the latter
service. One day when Mrs.
Hasbrouck was returning from
Walter Reed she gave a lift
to the colonel, who told her
how difficult it was for some of
the patients to walk all the way
to the gate and wait for the regu-
lar bus to town. 1t would be Won
derful, he thought, if the Motor
Corps could take these men back
and forth from the hospital. So
the shuttle service is now in
process of organization and very
soon there will be a daily trip
from Walter Reed to town and
back for the servicemen patients
there.
A native of Georgia, Mrs. Has,
brouck still retains her Southern
accent. She looks far too young to
be the wife of major general
cher husband commands the
7th Armored Division of the
1st Army. She is very pretty,
too, this particular generals
lady, with dark eyes and hair
that is almost black. The
Hasbroucks have two children,
one II and one 7, who have
inherited their mothers talent
for music. Mrs. Hasbrouck
plays the violin and the children
are studying, respectively, piano
and cornet. Shortly after the
cornet lessons began their next
door neighbors moved to Florida,
Mrs. Hasbrouck said, adding that
she hoped this was only a CO.
incidence.
The generals lady still can
laugh. She can be serious, too,
and she is about this war and
about the obligations of women
here at home to do their bit.
The Motor Corps needs many
more drivers. If you'd like to
volunteer, call the Red Cross,
Republic $500, and ask for the
Motor Corps desk for details.

FRIDAY. 20, 1915.

Julius Y. Talmadge, president gen.
eral, said. More than 1000 new
members have been admitted to the
society since last April with fewer
designations and more reinstate-
ments than ever before, showing
that many former members again
desire membership in the society.
1t also shows an increased desire on
the part Of American citizens to
trace their lineage back to their
Revolutionary ancestors. This in
terest extends to the battlefields, for
many men overseas are having their
ancestral lines worked out for their
families, the president general
added.
Mrs. Talmadge also reported that
scores of inquiries for eligibility for
membership are coming in. She ex-
plains that one does not necessarily
have to be descendant of a soldier
or sailor who fought in the Revolu-
tionary War. In general those whose
ancestors aided the cause of the
Revolution in other ways are eligible.
They include those who took part in
"the Boston Tea Party" those who
furnished supplies and others such
as nurses, rangers, ministers, gun
smiths and munitions makers who
lent their efforts toward the great
cause

Viking Rally Throws Riders.
In the afternoon game, Central's
triumph over Roosevelt was engi-
neered by Steve Manos, who hit the
cords for 13 markers, and Joe Rug
gieri, who only played part of the
last period, scoring 7.
The Vikings had to come from
behind to conquer the Rough Rid
ers, who had an 1913 advantage
at half time. In the third frame
Central pulled out to rack IL points
to Roosevelt's 4. It was Blackie
Sellwyan who put the Vikings out
in front for the first time. With
the score 22-21 in the Riders IA
vor in the waning moments of the
third quarter, Sellwyan dropped In
two push-up shots in quick order
to move his team ahead, 1928, as
the gun sounded.
Dick Grim got off to a strong
start for Roosevelt, sinking four
goals in the initial half, most of
which were one-handed short set
shots, but Carl Conner was high
scorer for the losers with 8 points.
Conner was the only Rider to regis
ter from the field in the last half
when he potted two shots, although
Jerry Brody made two foul shots in
the third session.
Central was the first to score, with
a foul shot by Manos, who was the
flrst to register in every period ex-
cept the last, but two goals and a
foul by Conner and a goal by Nick
Argyropoulos moved Roosevelt
quickly ahead. From then on in the
f1rst half Grim and Argyropoulos
did all of the Riders scoring.
