FAR AWAY LAND.
When I was a tiny little tad, and sat at
my mother’s knee,
I knew many beautiful, wonderful things,
that didn’t seem strange to me.
I knew the dells where the fairies danced,
under the stars at night,
I had seen the sheen of their gossamer
wing, as they passed me in their flight.
I knew the song of the mother-bird, that
came from the apple-tree;
I had watched the leaves of a sleepy flow-
er, close over the golden bee.
And I knew that on shining silver sands,
fathoms under the sea,
Were castles of shell, and coral-rock, where
mermaid’s homes must be.
And once, over hills and through far off
woods, I had traveled day by day,
To the Magic Land, where the Rainbow
ends, and the gold is stored away.
And O! the nights when the Frost King
came, and breathed on a sleeping
world ;
The trees were bejeweled, the mountains
white and the rivers mother-of-pearl.
And the Reindeer led by Kris Kringle's
hand, raced under the moonbeams
bright,
And joy and mystery joined .hands over
the world that night.
Ah! lonely man, you have traveled far
from your friends of yesterday,
And don't even know the language they
speak in the land of Where-Away,
“You are great, and rich, and famous
now,” you hear the world acclaim,
But you’d barter it all to be a boy, in the
Land of Dreams again.
—Ann Bernard.
Army Rules Regarding Salute to An-
them Covers Civilians.
Wide variations in the attitude of
persons in an audience in theatres and
elsewhere, when the National anthem
is played, kave led many readers to
Inquire ecactly what they should do
when “Tne Star Spangled Banner” is
played. Here is the army regulation
covering this point insofar as men in
the service are concerned:
“Whenever the National anthem is
played at any place when persons be-
longing to the military service are
present, all officers and enlisted men
not in formation shall stand at atten-
tion facing toward the music (except
at retreat, when they shall face to-
ward the flag), if in uniform, covered
or uncovered, or in civilian clothes,
uncovered, they shall salute at the
first note of the anthem, retaining the
position of. salute until the last note
of the anthem. If not in uniform and
covered, they shall uncover at the first
note of the anthem, holding the head-
dress opposite the left shoulder and
So remain until its close, except that
In inclement weather the headdress
may be held slightly raised.”
Civilians, to be truly patriotic and
respectful, should follow the rules
prescribed for soldiers when not in
uniform. Absolute silence should be
observed while the anthem is being
played.
Another point brought out by ar-
my officers, to wham this question
was referred, is that the national an-
them was never intended for use in
ordinary street parades.
HOW BOYS SALUTE.
The salute is given with the right
hand only. The soldier looks the offi-
cer straight in the eye, and raises the
hand briskly till the tip of the fore-
finger touches the lower part of the
headdress or the forefinger over the
right eye. The fingers are held ex-
tended and joined, the forearm at
about an angle of 45 degrees, hand,
wrist and forearm in a straight line.
The hand is kept in this position until
the officer acknowledges the salute or
until he has passed.
WHOM HE SALUTES. 1
All commissioned officers, army, na- |
Vy or marine corps, must be saluted.
J
Non-commissioned officers and enlist-
ed men do not exchange salutes. A
soldier standing in the ranks or tak-
ing part at a drill, work, games or
mess does not salute.
Saluting distance does not general-
ly exceed 30 paces. The salute is ex-
changed at a distance of about six
paces or at the nearest distance of ap-
proach when the individuals or bodies
of troops pass each other within a sa-
luting distance. :
In public conveyances such as rail-
way trains and street cars, and in
public places such as theatres, honors
and personal salutes may be omitted
when palpably inappropriate or apt
to disturb civilians present.
Before addressing an officer an en-
listed man salutes, and again salutes
after receiving a reply.
Officers, junior in rank, salute first.
A mounted officer or enlisted man dis-
mounts before he addresses a super-
ior officer except under campaign con-
ditions.
The American flag carried by a reg-
iment of infantry is referred to as the
“colors.” When carried by mounted
soldiers it is known as the “standard.”
Another flag is known as the regi-
mental colors or standard and is the
symbol of the regiment, infantry, cav-
alry, artillery, engineers or signal
corps.
The regimental colors are always
carried to the left of the national col-
ors.
When not in use the colors are kept
in the office of the colonel or in front
of his tent. At aighl ov ia wainy
weather they are furled and placed in
a case of oilcloth. During the day
they are displayed unfurled.
Officers and enlisted men passing
the uncased colors salute with the
right hand salute or with the weap-
on with which they are armed as pre-
scribed for that arm.
dress and covered, they uncover,
holding the headdress opposite the left
shoulder with the right hand; if un-
covered they salute with the right
hand salute.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The Blue Uniforms of France.
We are becoming familiar in this
country with the blue uniforms of
France—the pale, horizon blue which
the French soldiers wear at all times,
contrasting so conspicuously with our
own khaki-clad boys. But not every
one among us, says the Cincinnati
Times-Star, knows that the French-
man wears horizon blue for the same
reason the American soldier wears
khaki. That is, it is a matter of con-
cealment.
But the Frenchmen have the better
of it, for the truth is that these pale
blue uniforms can not be seen as far
as the khaki—and the khaki can’t be
seen anything like as far as the blue
which our soldiers used to wear. The
khaki fades into the dusty fields and
roads successfully, and a regiment of
men so clad is not visible as, far as if
they were clad in darker clothes or in
white.
The horizon blue, however, is still
less visible. It blends with the sky or
horizon, rather than with the earth.
A French soldier always seems furth-
er away than he really is, because of
his blue uniform. It gives one the im-
pression that it is the air between him
and the observer, rather than the col-
or of the cloth. At two hundred yards
the Frenchman seems much further
away. At half a mile he is invisible
against the horizon. Standing by the
side of a man clad in black, a few
hundred yards away, you would swear |
that the man in black is only half way
between you and the blue uniform.
But aside from the utility of the col-
or, we in this country are coming to
admire these blue-clad men we see
among us. The uniform of France
will forever be held sacred in this
country, regardless of its hue. The
manhood within the uniform will re-
ceive our admiration until the end of
time. The place of the French peo-
ple within our hearts can never be
, taken by any other race of people.

Sales of War Savings Stamps In-
creasing.
The report for the week ending
May 11th, 1918, shows that Centre
county had a per capita for that week
of 12 cents. To that date our total
per capita was $3.88. The maturity
value of all war savings stamps sold
in Centre county up to May 11th ag-
gregates $170,265.00. Huntingdon
county now has ninth place and Cen-
tre county has dropped to tenth place
in the Eastern district.
I wish to thank the’ solicitors in
every section of the county for the in-
terest taken in securing pledges dur-
ing the past week. Many of them
spent practically every minute in this
great work. From the limited reports
received at this office to date it is im-
possible to give a fair idea as to just
what was done during “Pledge Weédk,”
although I presume probably $100,-
000.00 were pledged. Millheim bor-
ough went over the top.
W. HARRISON WALKER.
Chairman War Savings Committee
for Centre County.
————ere A
Age, Not Sweet 16, Wanted for Wom-
en’s Work Overseas.
Sweet sixteen, or even sweet any
age up to 30 or 35 years is invited by
the government to take a back seat
in war work, or at least to be content
to stay at home to do its patriotic
work and let the older women respond
to the call for workers for France.
So says Miss Esther Smith, Mrs.
Franklin P. Iams’ assistant in the of-
fice of the department of women in
industry of the Allegheny county
committee of the Women’s Division
of the Council of National Defense,
which has just received official in-
structions as to who are needed for
overseas work. Not only must the
women have arrived at ages of dis-
cretion, preferably between 35 and 45,
but in nearly all cases they must be
prepared to pay their own way, from
$1,000 to $2,000 a year.
Seven kinds of women workers are
needed to go overseas—registered
nurses, telephone and telegraph oper-
ators who must speak French fluent-
ly, dieticians for the Red Cross, mo-
tor duivers, social welfare workers,
cooks for canteen service and farm
laborers. Except in special cases all
these workers except the nurses and
the telegraphers and telephone oper-
ators must pay their own way.
“We should like to make a special
appeal to girls of leisure to go into
hospital training,” said Miss Smith,
“as every one who does releases a
trained nurse for service abroad,
where she is so much needed. Also
to women of means and leisure and
who are of suitable age, to volunteer
for the work abroad. The work is
spectacular, but reliable women of
judgment who are willing to work
hard are needed.
Those interested in war gar-
dening in the United States, and it
would seem, from the inquiries ad-
dressed to daily and weekly newspa-
pers concerning seeds, planting, and
so forth, that their number is legion,
do not appear to be very generally in-
formed that a simple request of the I
National War Garden Commission,
Maryland Building, Washington, D.
C., will bring a garden primer, con-
taining the very hints they are seek-
ing, free of charge. This is one of
the most useful commissions ever or-
ganized in the country, and its servie-
es are practically at the disposal of
every one desirous of increasing in a
small, large, or medium way, the na-
tion’s foodstuff supply.
—“Waste not want not” is evi-
dently the motto of the armies on the
western front. Each nation represent-
ed there is engaged in salvage work
on an extensive scale. After every
battle, No Man’s Land is scoured for
lost, damaged, and ruined equipment.
The French salvage headquarters are
in Le Mans, and more than a dozen
trains a day bring in waste material
picked up on the field or in camp.
. Thousands of jackets, coats, boots,
helmets, capes and rifles are repaired
1and made usable again. ‘Many tons
