(By Associated Press) W ITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Wednesday, Nov. 28. The development of the men of the first American contingent in France In the science of war was described as truly remarkable by the general commandins the division, who has been in the service for years. "I have been in the army since I was a boy," he said. "During that time I have observed many American and many foreign soldiers, but never in

my life have I seen anything equaling the Americans. When my division landed we had shock-headed boys I call them shock-headed because they were Just that by the hundreds. They were clerks, mechanics, day laborers, fanner boys, old and young, from every walk of life. Some spoke English and some did not. There were Poles, Bohemians, Russians, Jews, Gentiles. But in this short time they have all become first class soldiers, energetic to the extreme and have fallen into ten ways of army life as I never thought possible. "Game to Core." "They are game to the core, and their one idea is to beat the Germans, and give them a good beating. There isn't a streak of yellow in the whole lot and their morale even in the j trenches is fine. "Here is an example: One night recently an officer called for volunteers to go patrolling in No Man's Land. He asked for twenty men. The whole company volunteered on the spot Twenty were picked and lamp black was provided for them to put on their bayonets so that the light could not shine on them. During the blackening one private who had been in the army for four months turned to a comrade and said: Gee, if I can run this into one of these Bodies I'll bet he'll get blood poisoning and I hope he does. The boy knew the place he was to patrol, was extremely dangerous and that he might be killed within thirty minutes. "At another time I had just passed a line, of soldiers walking along a road in the rain when I came across one who was hatless, mud covered and limping. I stopped my automobile and asked him what was the matter. The soldier stood on one foot, the ottasr b-firjg injured. He saluted. His horse had started to run into a stone wall, and he threw him down but fell under him. That's the spirit we are Retting. The man was badly hurt but even then did no forget his training of a few weeks. "I was returning at that time from the hospital where I saw few wounded men. Some of the men's proudest and most valuable possessions are bullet and pieces of shrapnel which thoughtful surgeons saved for them on extracting. Every man wanted to exhibit the cause of his wound. Their thoughts were all about recovering, rejoining the regiments and getting a (nance to pay back the enemy in his own coin." '

Dear Mr. Thompson : I am twenty-three years old and have a girl friend whom I took out a number of times. I like her very much and she i3 very respectable and seems to like my company. We wrote to each

other some time ago and I asked her for a date and she accepted it, but wrote that she could not go out with me every Sunday because she had another friend with whom she went out before she went with me, but she didn't tell me anything about this friend of hers before this, and in order not to hurt his feelings too bad she

wants to save some dates for him. She said she had nothing against me, but she didn't ask me to come to see her, and I want your advice on what to do. (2) How long must a boy go with a girl before he can ask her for steady company? WORRIED BOY. (1) Write to her after a few days an say that you received her letter and that you think she is doing right to consider the other boy's feelings, but that you would like to go with her once in a while and ask If she will make a date for some night soon. Say that if next Sunday is taken, that you would like to see her the Sunday after that If ehe still does not want to give you the date, don't persist, but go with some other girl. (2) It depends upon circumstances, but In general several months would be long enough.

Dear .Mrs. Thompson: I am twentyfour years old and I have two dear little boys. My mother and father died when I was very young and bo I had to go to work when I was fourteen years old. My life was hard and I got married when I was sixteen years old. I love my husband with all my heart and I have learned to love him more since we have been married. He is handsome and light-hearted and just the kind of a man that women love. He seems fond of me, but he does not love me so much that he is willing to forget other women. My husband was drafted in the lrst call and he refused to claim exemption. I think he was glad to have a good excuse to. go to war. I had to leave my children with his mother and do house-work in a well-to-do ladys home. She is the kindest woman to work for I have ever known and has said that I might have my boys with me Christmas and they could hang their stockings with her little boys and share in their Christmas party. I could hardly wait until Sunday when I visited my boys and told their grandmother that I could have them with me on Christmas. She absolutely refused to let me take them. I dont know what to do. Can I make her give them up for that day? I expect to go for them the night before Please tell me what to do. . WORRIED MOTHER. You most certainly can take your children at Christmas time. Notify their grandmother, in a sweet way, to have them ready and tell her w hat time you will call for them. If she tfuses to give them up consult a lavyer. He will see that your mother-in-law gives them up, and I think he will convince her that she has no

right to them without legal adoption. It seems to me from the tone of your letter that you are bearing your burden in this war very bravely.

the proper time. I am not ready to receive you now." . I had a Budden whimsical vision of the faces- of Dicky ' and the Underwoods if I 6hould thus speak my real thoughts. The thought in some curious fashion made It easier for me to cross the room to Lillian Gale's side, extend my hand and say cordially: "How good of you to come this afternoon!" "I know it is unpardonable," Lillian's high pitched voice answered. "You invited us for the evening, not for the afternoon, but I told Harry that I was going to crucify the conventions and come over early, so I would have a chance to say more than two wqrds to you before the rest get here. If Bess Marsden ever started upon some of those pet theories of hera, nobody will get a word in. She's the most rabid anarchist out of jail." "Bess won't be here," broke i in Dicky. "Her . brother is seriously ill in Chicago, and she had to go to him." "Of course that lets Paul out also," Lillian commented, iu the most matter of fact manner. "But the Lesters are about as bad," she turned to me again. "They have a six-months-old baby, their first, and you'd think it was the first in the universe to hear thera talk about it. So I determined to get ahead of everybody, and have a little visit with you." Harry Underwood elbowed his wife away from my side with a playful push and held out his hand. His brilliant black eyes looking down into mine with the same lazy approving expression that I had resented when Dicky introduced me to him between the acts of "Rosemary." To Be Continued.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

MADGE MAKES THE BEST OF THE SITUATION I know of nothing more exasperating to a hostess than to have her guests come to her heme too early. It is bad enough to wait a meal for belated guests, but to have some critical woman casually stroll in before one is dressed, or has put the final touches so dear to every housewifely heart on all the preparations, is simply maddening. I am no exception to the rule. As I heard the voices of Lillian Gale and her husband and I realized that they had arrived at 3:30 in the afternoon, when they had been invited for an evening chafing dish supper, I was both disheartened and angry. With a gasp of thankfulness I remembered that Katie had swept up the nut shells from the living room rug, but I also knew that the dust must have settled again upon everything. Katt had gone over the furniture the day before, but I had planned to have her give things a few finishing touches before the guests came. Any such plan was now an impossibility. The rooms would have to remain as they were. Another problem confronted me. I had planned to arrange my table for the evening as soon as I finished making the sandwiches, and to serve a light lunch for Dicky and myself, picnic-like at the kitchen table. The unexpected coming of these guests meant that I would have to serve a supper

for them, thus postponing the arrangement of my table until the last minute. I could visualize myself as hurried, flurried hostess, my pet abomination. But, of course, there Was but one thing to do, much as I hated to do it. I must go into the living room and cordially welcome these people. As I slipped off my kitchen apron I thought of the "hypocrisy which marks most social intercourse. What I really-wanted to say to my early guests was this: "Please go home and corns again at

"I'LL SHOW YOU HOW CORNS PEEL OFF!"

Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. Here is Richmond testimony. Mrs. Jane' Cooper, 922 NT. Twelfth St. says: "My back has always given me trouble; it has ached and has been stiff and sore. My kidneys have also acted irregularly and sometimes I have had dizzy spells and headaches. Every time I have suffered in this way, I have bought Doan's Kidney Pills at Quigley's Drug Store and they have never failed to relieve me." Price 600, at all dealers.

If you wish to buy fish economically choose that which is caught in home waters. Graham bread spread with salad dressing and a lettuce leaf is an excellent Bandwich. Cold lima beans mashed, seasoned and a few minced olives added make a good sandwich. Suet may be kept fresh by chopping roughly and sprinkling it with a little granulated sugar. Put red peppers in vinegar and bottle discarded ol've bottles are good for the purpose and use with very dry baked beans Drop a cream peppermint in a cup of hot. water, and you have a sort of after-dinner cordial which isn't open to the objection of expense.

But now no one in the world "should worry," because the moment you put "Gets-It" on, it means the end of a corn.
