TROOPS Continued From Page One. J papers. He sat down and read through every one of them. In the dugouts, General Pershing suggested some few changes here and thero and in the trenches halso directed that some small changes be made. From a well situated point, through glasses General Pershing inspected Monte Sec ana the German obnervation poets on top of it from which the enemy has the American lines under observation for twenty miles when the visibility is good. Because of the haze the general was unable to see the spires of Metz which are visible on clear days from a certain place. Who is That? Many soldiers In line recognized the commander in chief as he- passed them or stopped to question them, but others did not. One young infantryman, after General Pershing and the general in command of that particular brigade had passed asked: "Who is that with the four stars on hia coat?" A comrade informed him, whereupon the inquisitive one replied: "Is that so? Whoever saw a commander In chief of an army walking around in a trench asking some private whether he had enough to eat or if his feet were dry? It Is not being done." It took a lieutenant to convince the doubtful soldier that it was General Pershing he had seen. Throughout the inspection tour General Pershing limped a little his ankle having been injured slightly a few days ago. At the batteries, the general asked the artillerymen the same questions as he put to the Infantrymen, making sure that they all were contented and had no cause for complaint. Similar inspection trips will be made from time to time by General Pershing, as the general is determined that the American soldiers at all time shall have th maximum of protection under the best conditions possible. CONGRESSMEN (Continued From Page One tion. owe a debt of gratiturle to the veterans of the Civil War which we can never repay. But while this is true it is our duty to do what we can while the few survivors are living to lighten their burdens and make their pathways brighter, sweeter and happier; and as they one by one pass to lhat undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler ever returns, it is our pleasure to render to their memories that measure of love and respect which their service to our country so richly entitles them to receive. "It is, therefore, a privilege and an honor today to pay this last small tribute of our love and esteem to the memory of a distinguished citizen of my naMve state, my friend and predecessor In this House. None More Beloved. "Tho Sixth Congressional District of Indiana has produced some very distinguished and honorable statesmen In its day, among them Oliver P. Morton, tho great war governor, who was one of President Lincoln's staunchest supporters, and whose bust now adorns the Hall of Fame, adjacent to this chamber. It has from time to time been represented In this honorable' body by men whose fame was as wide as the nation's and nono was more beloved and respected in the community In which he lived than Daniel Webster Comstbck. His early life was not spent in luxurious case, but he, Ilk thousands of our best men, was brought up to work for his livelihood under the honost and frugal disclpllne which prevailed in the homes of the good old Quaker stock from which he descended. And it was from these sturdy ancestors that he inherited that sterling honesty and respect for the rights of others which characterized hi3 whole life, and enabled him to live through a long, busy and honorable public career, untarnished and unchanged by his contact with the world. "He received a collegiate education at Ohio Wesleyan university, graduatlng in 1S60. at the age of twenty. He Btudied law and was admitted to the bar of the Henry circuit court at New. castle, Indiana, in 1862.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I have a boy friend and he lives in another town. He writes me almost every day, and it seems as if he and his people both like me. Do you think it proper for me to go to his house and stay all night u his mother asks me (2) Is it proper for him to stay all night at my home If it is all right with my folks? (3) I would like to go and see his folks soon. What can I write to him to make him know I want to come? I have been there many times before. (4) What would be nice to get him , ao, for a birthday MULE TRACKS. (1) A girl should not stay all night at a boy's home unless she is engaged to him. (2) It is all right for your parents to invite him, but they should not urge him to stay if lie seems inclined not to. (3) It would be decidedly unwise to even suggest that you would like to visit them again. Do not write anything to that effect. (4) It is not necessary to give him anvthinc. but if you do. send a book or something equally inexpensive. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a boy time, answered his country's call, enlisting as a private in the Ninth Indiana Cavalry, although he had been offered a commission as a lieutenant. From a private he was promoted from time to time, by reason of his bravery and valient services, and served as sergeant-major, first lieutenant of Company F, captain of Company C, and subsequently was detailed as acting adjutant general of the First brigade, Sevent Division of the military division of Mississippi. He was honorably discharged from the service in 1S55. He served his country faithfully and well as a soldier. Cited For Gallantry. "While in the army Mr. Comstock was cited for distinguished gallantry for rescuing, under fire, a wounded superior officer. While his regiment was covering a retirement one of the officers was shot and fell from his horse. Facing the enemy's fire Mr. Comstock returned to his stricken comrade's side, picked him up and rode away with him to safety. "After the war was over Mr. "'om6tock married Miss Josephine A. Rohter, who, with their two daughters, Elizabeth and Clara, and their son, Paul, survive him. His military spirit was inherited by his son, who is now a major in the national army, and who bids fair to shed additional luster to his father's honored name. "Mr. Comstock's career as a lawyer was that of the average successful country lawyer. He enjoyed the confidence and respect of his community at all times and was the possessor of a clientage as good as the average lawyer of his community. He served as city attorney for the City of Richmond, was elected prosecuting attorney for Wayne county, Indiana, for two terms. He was elected judge of the Way no circuit court twice, being nominated without opposition both times for that office on the Republican ticket, which, in that county, was equivalent to election. He served as circuit judge for about twelve years and resigned to take a seat on the Appellate bench of Indiana, serving in that; capacity for about fifteen years, and retiring in 1911. His legislative career consisted of a term of four years in the Indiana State Senate, and he was erected a member of the Sixty-fifth congress, serving In that capacity a trifle over two months. It is said that It had been his life's ambition to serve his country as a member of Congress, but fate willed that his career in Congress should be short. His services to his country in a legislative capacity were limited, and hi3 best services were rendered as a citizen, soldier and jurist. "Mr. Comstock was honored In the last year3 of his life by his comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic by election to the position of Grand Commander for Indiana. In all of the many positions of trust reposed in him by a grateful people he made good and rendered to his constituents faith ful service, and after a long and well spent life he went to his eternal rest, loved, honored and respected by all who knew him best. ELIEVE RULING Continued From Page One. tion against the enforcement of the state prohibition law, will attempt to have the case brought to trial as quickly as possible, so that the decision may be bbtal;ed before the state law be comes effective. April 2. Judge Hostetter's ruling on the demurrers is based on the state court decision, rendered in the Beebe case over CO years ago. At that time the Supreme court decided that the state legislature had not the power to enact prohibition legislation. Personal liberty is emphasized by the court, in the written opinion handed down with the decision. The state dry law takes away the will-power of a citizen, the judge contends, since It takes away his power of choosing whether or not he will drink. It takes away the right to drink from the moderate man as well as the habitual drunkard, he argues. Judge Spencer Tnere The action of the demurrers Is merely a preliminary procedure in the trial of the case, but is important as predicting the outcome of the case. In the same way, the final judgment of the lower court will be important only as showing the stand of the judiciary on the matter, for the case will be appealed to the state court as soon as a decision is rendered in the Vanderburg court. Attorneys for both sides have been stated that they will take the case to the Supreme court if they lose. Judge John W. Spencer of Evans-

friend who lives out of town and when he comes here he stays about three days. How late in the evening should I stay out with him. I am eighteen years old. BETTY. It depends upon the occasion how late you should stay out. If the boy takes you to a picture theatre, stay until the show is over, get ice cream if he wants you to, and then go home. In such a case you would probably get home about ten-thirty. If you should go to a dance you would probably get home about midnight. Tenthirty is a good time to get home usually.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) Do you think I could be a good skilled stenographer if I did not go through high school? . (2) Do business men take only girls who have graduated from high school? (3) If I have two years of high school and one year at some business college, don't you think that I would be able to take a position with good salary? FRESHIE. (1) You need a high school education to be a skilled stenographer. Many of the best commercial schools in the country will not enroll students unless they are high school graduates. (2) Some business men are willing to take stenographers who are not high pchool graduates because it is cheaper. Business men are learning that it does not pary to hire cheap stenographers who have had little education because their business suffers in the end and they lose more money than they save. (3) You would be an exception to make any kind of a salary after only two years of high school and your business training. Even if you did manage to start at good pay you would find that the better educated girls would slip in ahead of you and get the better jobs. If, however, you can not go to high school any longer, make the best of the education you have and study at home evenings.
