FINDS WOUNDED MEN IN BEST OF SPIRITS tContinued from First Page.] tially women's work. The men who are badly scarred and those who are entirely deaf are timid about going out uiwl must be persuaded. It was a most triumphal flay when we had I placed a tall man whose right eye j and cheek bone had been shot off, away in the back seat, a man whose | right shoulder had been shot to j pieces, and the hole was being tilled i in with bone taken from his leg—| had placed the men with bad right; arms on the right side of the car, the ones with injured left arms on the left side, and the man whose knees would not bend where he could sit with his legs outstretched. And just as we Were off we spied the blackhaired boy who had been 'all shot pieces' in his wheel chair, we asked him to go along because if he sut with the driver, I could stand on the running board. That would be against the regulations— but it would be such fun! We lifted him in and as we settled him in place we wanted to hug each other and j weep or sing 'Waltz Me Around j Again, Willie,' or 'The Gang's Ale Here.' Instead, wo smiled, gave a| personal smile to each of the thir-1 teen men at one time and said, 'AH | set! Then we're off'.' For it doesn't how you feel, you smile and smile, even when you can't. And, if the first night you've got so tired be cause you've worked so hard and seen so many till.igs you didn't want to"" ypu just lie face down on your pillow and weep. You're sure to j rouse when the other 'Motor Girl savs, 'This is mighty good chocolate' and 'what did you think of that big doctor? Thinking just because he's big and handsome. I'd talk with him and leave that little Italian boy with the crippled legs, who was telling me what a wonderful dancing stunt he and his partner used to do when they were on the Keith circuit." No One Downhearted "And then you swap stories and tell about the man who had a nose made from a bone taken from his finger, and the skin from his foye head has been brought down, turned, twisted and made to cover his nose and after three or four more operations he'll have a beautiful new nose. And the most startling experi ence of all, dancing with the man who breathes through his Adam's apple! A bullet cut his windpipe, and now he breathes through a tube that passes through his throat and when he swallows he presses his finger against the opening, and when he talks he takes a long breath and fills his lungs with air, and can talk very well, in a low, husky voice. "We took the men on long drives through the country, and, oh, the sunshine and happiness that spark led over their faces when we drove them out into the open air.

You can never realize how happy they were, anil how glad we were to be of service. I am hoping to again have the op portunity to visit one of the hos pitals and to cheer the monotony of the hospital." The same kind of work is done at the Carlisle Military Hospital. The wounded soldiers, many of them Pennsylvania boys. are taken on daily drives through the country in a big Oldsmobile, and at least twice a week they go to Mechanicsburg where they are treated to a dinner or a show by the Red Cross. Some times they come to Harrlsburg and theater owners here are glad to throw their doors open wide to the wounded Yanks.

Splendid Way To Reduce Your Weight There is perhaps no one thing that so plainly shows the passing 'of our youth as the horrible tendency to put on too much weight after we have reached the age of 25 or 30 years. However young our faces may appear, the sagging, dabby figure and forty inch waist "gives us away." The cause of this over stoutness is that our stomachs convert the food we eat into fat because there is not enough oxygen in the blood to pro duce a proper combustion to destroy the excess fatty tissue. Fat people will be pleased to learn of a simple home method that Is wonderfully ef ficient in reducing weight, quickie anil easily without a starving diet, violent massage or strenuous exer cise. Go to any drug store and get [a box of Phynola; take five grains [ after each meal and at bed time. This treatment will often give quick re lief from overburdening fat. Phy nola taken at meal time assists the stomach in giving you the benefit of the food you eat; at the same time dissolves the fatty tissue from any part of the body where there is exces sive fat. By this method many have reduced their weight a pound a day and there is no fiabbthesa left. Gorgas, the druggist, stores, 16 ,N. Third st., 3rd and walnut sts. and Penna. It. K.

P., May 10. The dirigible C-5 was picked up eighty miles off St. Johns at 6:35 p. m. by aj Hellish steamer whose name could; not be learned. The steamer stood | by -the dirigible until morning. It tell • to the sea and was sighted by the , stca.aei before dark. Bt. Johns, N. P., May 16,. —Plans' of the United States Navy for a, trans-Atlantic flight by dirigible re ceived a serious jolt when the giant! C-5 burst from her moorings in a | gale and was swept out to sea soon j after she had arrived from Montauk Point, after being in the air con tinuously for 25 hours and 45 min utes. The destroyer Edwards imme diately set out in pursuit with orders to bring the big gas bag down with anti-aircraft artillery \t necessary. Even If the Edwards is able to bring back the Blimp before some se rious misfortune befalls her, it prob ably will require some time to repair the damage which may have result ed from her fall into the ocean. Lieut. Charles G. Little, of New- j buryport, Mass.. who was given charge of the C-5 after her crew had been bundled off to bed aboard the cruiser Chicago, was almost car ried away by the fugitive gas bag while making a nervy attempt to de flate it. Seated in the Blimp's nacelle when she broke away, he seized the rip ccrd and gave a tug which should have opened up the big envelope and permitted the gas to escape. The cord broke, however, and Lieut. Little, realizing he would be un able to bring the ship down, leaped out from a height of 25 feet. His only injury was a sprained ankle. The escape of the C-5 followed a long struggle by sailors from the cruiser Chicago, to prevent its in jury when gusty west winds swept across its mooring place in Quid Vidi basin and began tossing it about. -Several of the sailorA clinging to guy ropes, were thrown down by the dirigible's final tug but none were injured. The loss of the B'imp was a bitter disappointment to Lieutenant Com mander W. Coil and his crew of five. Despite a heavy fog and un favorable weather they had brought the big ship over a 1,300-mile course from Montauk Point with a per formance record which they were confident would have brought the coveted order from the Navy Denart ment to attempt the overseas (light. The dirigible was "lost" in the fog for a time yesterday morning over Avalon peninsula, the south eastern point of New Foundiand. For two hours she cruised about, seeking the landing field here which was known to her crew only by radio description. Jtadio directions receiv ed from the base served only to com plicate the situation, for while the base was send the bearings of the Rending station from the C-5, the C-s's navigators interpreted them as the ship's bearings from the sta tion. Eventually. Commander Coil sight ed a narrow gauge railroad which he followed to ft. Johns. The town of Topsail was then recognized and a direct course was laid which took the dirigible toward Quidi Vidi val ley. Lieut. J. V. Lawrence was at the wheel and effected a landing that elicited exclamations of apprecia tion from British airmen who had gathered to welcome the airship. 3m g IS: "m sEsg* ** of ™ \3r A TO *IS0 < T'CHT" lIAIH NET CUAAAWTEED OR MONEY VwHITE OH C^NOr 1^ CAP o FRINGE SHAPE COLOR AND M|RNETS"| a^?J^ KEEPER'S CUT-RATE MEAT STORES 1416 Derry St., Harrisburg 32 N.
