Big Sap! -* — Chesty Sergeant Learns Boston Harbor Isn’t

Scorer: of works of fiction have been written about the World war and scores of other writers have told of their actual experiences in the great conflict, but none of them rry more interest than the sdtH.es of your own home boys, many of whom had experiences which surpass those recorded in fiction. And the Ice is broken. They're telling stories in The Times World War Story Contest by the wholesale. The Times will print as many of these stories as possible, and every week will award prizes of $lO and $6 for the two best submitted. mm* C. P. Cobum, 811 Dawson street, tells the first one printed today: IT was early in November, on or about the 2d, shortly after being relieved from the Argonne after our outfit was in a reserve position, when orders came to move. Our supply of water was almost exhausted, so when the command ‘Tall out” was given during the march, some of as filled our canteens with water from a stream at the roadside, drank heartily and refilled our canteens. We soon were on the move again upstream and had marched on a short distance when a mounted officer came along the line commanding all to empty canteens containing water from the roadside stream. We did as ordered and were not long in flnd'nrr out why the command was given. Only a few feet ahead the bodies of two German soldiers lay In the stre°m. mam It tickled the boys pink when a chesty non-com took one, on the chin, and F. G. Wright, 220 North Illinois street, enliseted in Cos. F, Three hundred thirtieth infantry, spins a f/ood one: WAS a member of the Three hundred thirtieth infantry at camp in 1918. After training, I was transferred to another camp. One midnight in July we boarded transport , en route for somewhere In France. We had a very egotistical first sergeant on board, who dwelt under the impression his sergeancy was that of a commissioned officer. After a number of days at sea we came in sight of land, and upon passing a large tugboat this sergeant. who was leaning at the rail, called. “Hey. is this Ireland?” The rebuttal came, "No, you big sap. this is Boston.” And it was! an tt George Ballard, Battery F. Fifth field artillery, now of Stilesville, Ind., tells this one: IT was in the Argonne when the big push was going on. Battalion F of the Fifth field was in the line, and the horse line rolling kitchen ammunition train was caii ~i about two miles back under a you.ig lieutenant. The battalion moved up and the horse line got away behind the battalion. One day we got orders to move up and we started. We camped at a cross roads to eat dinner. A supply company was camped at the same place. The Germans were shelling everything in that neighborhood. While we were lined up for mess, we watched them run out a regiment of engineers camped on our right. Our boys were liaving a craps game at the end of the mess line and were down on their knees. The supply boys were standing up looking at. the game, when a German shell loaded with shrapnel burst high in the air, killing two supply boys and wounding a third one. It nerer touched the crapshooters, but it spoiled dinner. Aged Woman Dies fv Tin if* Svrrinl ANDERSON. Ind.. March 20. Mrs. Mary Geeskie. 85, is dead at ' of a son. Edward Geeskie.

900 ILL FROM I INDULGENCE IN ‘TWO-BIT JAKE’ Kansas Harvest Hands, Oil Workers Stricken by Jamaica Ginger. Rv United Prr*n * KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 20 —i ; Bootleggers who accommodated oil ; field hustlers, harvest hands and 1 railroad laborers with a ‘‘good, cheap drink” when they planked a quarter down on the counter were believed responsible for the illness of more than nine hundred men and boys in the southwest today. The “good, cheap drink” generally was Jamaica ginger, a concoction made in violation of standards set by the federal government and which is consumed by hundreds who j | frequent blind pigs and bootleg places in this section of the country.

In Wichita, in south central Kansas, the conditions became so alarming that late Wednesday Rassell Hobbs, city physician, called upon state authorities for assistance. He reported sixty persons affected, the majority suffering from paralysis of the legs. One was a woman 70 years old, he said, who declared she never had had a drink in her life. Physicians diagnosed her case as similar to others. Physicians at Springfield, Mo., a railroad center, reported the more than thirty cases there were unchanged. The malady broke out in Oklahoma City two weeks ago and the majority of the 450 men and youths affected still are suffering. Almost all were out of danger, but they hobbled about on canes and crutches. CAPTAIN DOLLAR IS 86 Famous Ship Line Owner Celebrates by Staying on Job. It’/ United Pres* SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.

New Recipe for Coloring Gray Hair By LOIS PAGE

One of the questions most f r equently asked me > is: “What shall I do for my graying hair?” U nhesitatingly I recommend that tried and proven recipe of sage tea and sulphur. A

brew of common garden sage with sulphur and alcohol added, makes the best hair restorer I know of. You can either prepare the mixture yourself at home, or as most people prefer to do, buy it already prepared and ready to use. Wyeth’s Sage & Sulphur is the name of the ready-to-use preparation and since all druggists sell it at 75c a bottle, there is really no need of going to the bother of making it yourself. You simply moisten a comb or soft brush with it, and draw it through the hair, one strand at a time. One application banishes the gray and one or two more completely restores your gray, faded or streaked hair to its original color. There is no hard, dyed look. The whole effect is one of perfect naturalness. Thousands of men and women use this preparation with no one suspecting it.—Advertisement.
