Ritchie of Valley City, com- mander of the regiment, said today in reviewing the work of the last two Weeks. “The work -has gone on without interruption, has been smoother; there has been splendid coordination among the officers and mwen, und the best results possible ‘hhave been attained.” ‘The reports given the camp by two major generals, Major General H.

Tom, Dick and Harry--That’s Slang In Most Virginia It Means 3 Famous Men TOM GYRO Richmond, Va., June The Old Dominion, which is the ora- torical: name for ‘the state of Vir- ginia, has been extremely proud of a great many of its sons, what with Washington, Lee, Jefferson and the rest; but it seldom regarded any of them more highly than it ay Tom, Dick and Harry. Tom, Dick and Harry—in ordinary speech that expression means some- thing like “everybody” or ‘the world brother,” -but in Virginia it refers yery definitely to three si whom the state admires with whole- souled squthern fervor. These three are the brothers— Byrd—Richard Evelyn, Harry Flood and Thomas. Each ‘has achieved distinction in a different way. Their Joint efforts have made the family name one to conjure with here.
