Wife of Colonel Luscombe sewing belt loop for an American soldier. Over in France "mother" is the Y.' M. C. A. In the hut3 the American fighters who are shy buttons, who need any of the many ministrations mother would be enlisted for at home, find willing hands .for . the performance of the tasks. Every camp in France where there are American soldiers boasts at least one Red Triangle. It is the sign which marks each hut. The Y. M. C. A. now has 276 field secretaries in France and 2,100 Y. M. C. A. workers in training; camps in this country will go as soon as the troops they are with are transported. The huts are 140 feet long and 80 feet wide, and are wooden, with waterproofed paper composition roofs. Some camps have what is called the English Callan type" of hut,' and at others we have erected the French hut, which is called the Adrain. There is not much difference between them, as a matter of fact, and the buildings his veins. "Who was your grandfather?" was his first question when he met a stranger and cn this, hinged his whole character. MURRETTE : - j "Wooden Shoes," at the Murrette today and Thursday, the Triangle play starring Bessie Barriscale, is the play for,, which the famous Dutch street at the Triangle studios at Culver City, California, was originally constructed at a cost of over S35.000. The extreme realism of the immense setting is well j borne out by the following incident, QUEEN OF AIR Catherine Stinson (top) and Ruth Law. SAN FE.AKCISCO. Cal., Dec. 19. Texas takes the crown from Illinois in the matter of female flying. And the crown is fitting nicely, thank you, on the head of Katherine Stinson, who recently flew from San Diego to San Francisco, making 550 miles without alighting. Rnth Law of Chicago had found the crown a good fit for her curls for more than a year. In November, 1916, she set a record for women flyers by negotiating 512 miles between Chicago and Hornell, N. Y. She had started for New York city, but was forced to alight because of engine trouble and bad weather. In New York after her flight, which was made in a Curtis machine, "the announced she would next tackle a coast-to-coast fly. When the war started, however, she gave her time to flying in the interests of Liberty bond sales and Red Cross work. Miss Stinson, in her San Diego-San Francisco flight . was in the air nine hours and won the distinction of being the only flyer to cross the Tehachapi mountains on a non-stop flight. Both women have flown extensively for the past two years. Both girls have offered their services to Uncle Sam in the aviation service, but the powers that be have not found need for women pilots as yet. Miss Law has a commission in the aviation reserves. She has asked Washington repeatedly to let her go abroad and fly with the army men. Edward C. Wilson, aged ninety-three of Jacksonville, Vt.,- tramps eleven miles to Rowe, Mass., once every year to play checkers with his former neighbors. This year he faced nine opponents, winning thirty games, drawing in eight and losing only seven.

One part contains the auditorium, with a stage, where movie shows and all kinds of entertainments and lectures are provided for the soldiers, and in the "other half there are the reading and smoking rooms, with the canteen at one end, where hot tea, coffee, chocolate, candies, tobacco, cigarettes and cigars are sold. Every hut is equipped with a library and the papers and magazines are kept in the reading rooms. The canteens are run upon the same lines in France as they are at the post sta

tions of the army in the United States. J The object of the association will be ! to provide hot beverages for the soldiers when they come, out wet and tired from the trenches and to give them plenty of wholesome amusements and reading matter to keep them cheerful during the long wet winter season. All the supplies for the Y. M. C. A. will be taken to France on government ships, which is the only way to get them there. which actually occurred during the filming of-the play. Several of the Triangle kiddies, who were appearing in the street scenes of the production were not to be found in their dressing rooms, or anywhere on the Triangle "lot" after the day's work was over, and their mothers, who always accompany them to the studio, were considerably worried over their sudden disappearance. Searchers Get Out What they found was that the entire kiddie contingent, headed by Mary Jane and Buster Irving, were calmly sitting on the banks of the mimic Dutch canal fishing!

' This habit cannot be created in emergency, and forgotten under other circumstances, but, must result from practice which tolerates no exceptions, either of persons or occasions. . - "The relationship .between officers and men, therefore, must be so arranged as to lead to this indispensable result; but this is entirely consistent with respect, sympathy and mutual consideration, and the .best officers are those who have most completely won the affection of their men. Military annals are filled with ' splendid stories of men imperiling their lives outside of the necessities of military action in order to save the life of a beloved Captain. - "The War . Department, therefore, has endeavored and is endeavoring by every means within its power to impress upon officers the military value of this cordial relationship to have them understand that as is the officer so is the command; that their spirit and their actions constitute the example upon which the spirited actions of the men are molded. "While here and there instances undoubtedly occur of thoughtless and Inconsiderate conduct on the part of officers and of unreasoning complaint on the part of the men who have failed to understand the just obligations of this disciplinary relationship, I am
