One soldier carried his arm in a brace, the other had lost foot Both were officers of the Air Corps As they were getting out of the taxi, a limousine drove up behind them, and out stepped Jesse Jones The big Texan watched the crippled soldiers for a moment, then took off his hat and stepped forward to open the door of the hotel. He held the door open as the fliers passed, and when they had gone, he said 1o a passerby: “Gee, that hits you below the belt, does'nt it.” a CAPITAL CHAFF No one is admitted to the Army School of Administration at Fort Washington, Md., except those al- raedy in the Army.
