E, Sixtieth infantry, hands out the eye opener today. ON June 12. 1918, a convoy of fourteen ships, loaded with soldiers, sailed for France from a post in New Jersey. There were 500 Negro soldiers on the ship that I sailed on, in charge of a white lieutenant. One day orders had been issued to fall out on deck, with canteens full. When the lieutenant in charge of the Negroes started down the line to inspect them, he noticed a big Negro without his canteen, and yelled, “Where is your canteen?” The Negro said. “Down in the boat, sir.” The lieutenant, sent him after it, but when he got down the steps almost into the boa*, he thought it was filling with water, got scared out., and came back without his canteen, falling back into line. In a little while the lieutenant saw’ that he didn’t have it and yelled. "Where is that canteen?” And the big fellow said, “Pardon me. sir. I jest can go fo’ years and years without water." BUB Ralph Conrad, 1712 Spruce street, tells one on the sailor who obeyed orders, no matter what the consequences. WARRANT OFFICER. SIMMONS on the U. S. S. Stringham was always preaching, “Obey your last order first.” One day a young man went to him with a letter, stating that his mother was sick. Upon the young sailor’s request for a furlough, Simmons ordered. “Right about face! Forward march!” The sailor walked away. Six months later Simmons received a letter stating, “I obeyed my last order. You commanded forward march. You have not said halt and I am still going." Bam A private who became mixed, in his English is the hero of the tale fold, by J. R. Hill, Wesley hotel. WHEN attached to Company K, 334th infhntry. at Camp Taylor. my buddy, who had served four years in the Holland army and who had gone to the camp with me was, of course, a full-fledged soldier. By trade he was a wonderful interior decorator and is employed by L. S. Ayres <fc Cos. He spoke very good English, but got some things twisted. We were the first company of the recruits to take guard mount. This private was placed on the post next to the officers’ mess. Usually, at 11:30 each night, a great many of the officers came into their quarters from Louisville, who would have to be halted before passing his post. The proper way for a guard to halt a number of persons is by the command: “Halt,” thirty paces from him, then he asks, “who is there?" One of the parties should say. “Officers of the camp.” His next command is "Advance one, to be recognized.” Private knew that he was not to advance more than one to be recognized, but this is the way he did it. He halted them at thirty paces, said. " Whose dere?” One of the officers shouted. “Officers of the camp. Private said. “Come vun at a time, not all in a bunch.” BBS It was a. nice Christmas dinner, even if skunk was part of the mam, says Richard Smith, 1031 River avenue. IT was a cold, snowy Christmas. We set up camp and built a nice fire. Someone suggested that it would be nice to have some game for our Christmas dinner, so one of the boys and I told the others that we would get the game if they would cook it. That was the agreement, so we went out, killed some nice rabbits and started back with them. We came up to some boys who were trapping. They had caught a skunk. We bought it from them and went on to camp. The boys cooked them all. We had a big laugh about it afterward, but we all had a nice Christmas dinner. i The historic Dead sea of Palestine V so full of salt that no fish can ijye in it.

MRS. M’CORMICK STILL IS FACING HUGE OBSTACLES National Capital’s Chief Interest in Her Is as a Personality. BY JOSEPH 11. BAIRD Initr'l Pres Staff Corrrsponrtrnt WASHINGTON, April 9.—Apparent nomination by Illinois Re publira ns of Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick for thr* senate was received in official circles here with elation by some, with disappointment by others. but. with keen interest by all. Seldom has a state primary campaign aroused such universal interest in Washington. Statesmen discarded books and cards Tuesday night to listen to radio reports of swelling votes for Mrs. McCormick, who has been known here for years as the vigorous and politically-wise daughter of Mark Hanna. Republican boss during the McKinley administration. She is known, now in her own right, for her constant activity since she was elected to the house in 1928. Summing up the political aftermath of Mrs. McCormick’s apparent victory, political observers foresaw two obstacles she faces before taking her seat as the first woman elected to the senate. The first, of course, was the opposition of her Democratic opponent, James Hamilton Lewis. In this fight she was seen to have the advantage of a normal Republican plurality of votes in her state. On Side of Drys On the other hand, how'ever, it was observed that Mrs. McCormick was to take the dry side of a wet and dry political fight in a state assumed to be predominantly wet. The other obstacle, yet uncertain is the resolution of Senator Norris to inaugurate an investigation of primary expenditures which Mrs. McCormick’s opponent. Senator Charles S. Deneen, charges are very large. Frank Smith, elected senator from Illinois in 1926, was barred from the senate because he spent too much. Casting politics aside, Washington undoubtedly is more interested in Mrs. McCormick as a personality. Invited to Chicago With Alice Roosevelt Longworth, her girlhood friend and election night companion, Mrs. McCormick is one of Washington officialdom's best-known daughters. When a daughter, Paulina, was born to Mrs. Longworth. Mrs. McCormick invited her to her Chicago home, where s’he was attended by a specialist in whom Mrs. McCormick had great faith. During the stirring days of the McKinley administration, when her father was one of the President’s advisers. Mrs. McCormick was her father’s secretary. Famous men gathered at her home. Young Ruth was allowed, at times,
