'Interesting times wo have nt this auxiliary. r Every Monday thero It bomo one very worth while to Hpcak whllo tho llnRors fly outtlns bandages nnd makltiB surgical dressings. Last week Aithur Jones told of his ex periences in amhulanco woik, and ho told the story about a Hilly Thomas, who never used to receive letters "over there," uml so when mall time mine ho would t,' Imck of tho tents and smoke. One day a pack age camo for him and when they called his namo ho would not go, because ho snld it must bo a mistake; there was no ono to write to him or hend him packages. Well, thoy brought him the package and It ' was for him, and ho was delighted. You see, one of tho men had written to his Bister and said, "You nro always ponding me letters and packages, and how I lovo to get them; but, next time, Instead of ending to mo, send a package t Bill Thomas; ho never gets any." So sho did. Immediately tho workers at 60S got busy, and Mrs. Larimer, who Is chairman of the auxiliary, telli :no they have formed a Billy Thom.i committee to send packages now und ti,n to the Ullly Thomusei In tho army.

Mrs. Louie lioile Is going to be matron of honor at the wedding. It Is rather interesting, In view of tho fact that there have been much and many remarks among thoso who think they know about a difference In ago between Lola and Jack, to state plainly nnd clearly that tho dlfferenco Is not quite a year, and to Btato It authoritatively, for I know.

Prominent Men Who Have Fol lowed Game Show Skill in Other Branches of Army Many American polo players who were prominent as amatours before the war aro now making good use of tho riding skill and the physical and mental training ar. nulred In the gamo for tho tervloo of Uncle Sam, Kecognlzing the valuo of polo as practlco for the cavalryman, tho War De partment has of lato years encouraged the playing of tho game In tho army. Changed conditions of warfaro have made the cavalry" service so much less active ana Important and therefore less attractive than ever before that many of tho olunteers with polo experience ha chosen other branches of the service, and there are far more men on duty as aviators, Infantrymen and artillery men than there aro In the regular cavalry regiments. Their experleneo In tho game, however, has sharpened their wits, taught them to obey orders without demur and to face sudden emergencies and dangers without losing their presence of mind- all qualities which go to make good fighters, for without obed'enc? to discipline and training there la no use In an army.
