Pershing the Doughboys’. Ideal General—Foch Posed Behind a Tobacco “‘Smoke Screen’’—Found All Generals Sturdy as Boys, Even at Sixty-five. By Fay Stevenson Copyright, 1919, by The Prom Publishing Co, (The Now York Bvonmg World.) LL of the portraits and sketches painted ®y Joseph Cummings are to be on exhi- bition this week at Washington, This exhibition is being arranged by the War Department. Mr, Chase was cum- missioned by the American Govern- ment to go to France to pain’ the Obenede portraits of Ameri- can generals, representative officers, “non-coms” and privates. The col- lection includes pictures of Marshal Foch and other French and English officers. However, since Mr. Chase was commissioned by the American Government, he gave most of his at- tention to the painting of American generals and privates. Asked to give his opinion of Gen. Pershing, whose portrait he has painted twice, Mr, Chase said: “Most people we hear about fail to come up to our estimation of what they ought to be or look like, but Gen, Pershing was just the type of General I expected to paint His alertness, his stability, his integrity, his matter-of-fact, blunt manner, his appearance—all were just my ideal General He may have been criticised by home for his smartness, his exacting attitude, but that ts just what the boys want. That 4s what they like, ‘Those boys love the dignity of the army, They don't expect or | want their General to make a chum of them. Most of them are proud to be “non-coms” and privates, and really the ones who got the fun out of N . ‘ SEvonv. the war are the doughboys. But wait @ minute. I haven't used the word doughboy in the right sense. 1 am making the common mistake of the average citizen who uses dougnboy when he means a “non-com” or a private, . “Now doughboy means a certain kind of soldier—in fact a General may be called a doughboy IF he ever belonged to the infantry. Any man who ever belonged to the infantry {s & doughboy no matter what his title |or how high up the ladder of fame he has climbed, But the artillery and cavalry men are not doughboys, “One of the most interesting things about these generals to me,” said the artist, ‘is thelr age. Look at those men, strong, sturdy fellows, every one of them had to pass as rigid a | physical examination as a young boy and yet with a few exceptions they are all men between fifty-five and sixty-five years old.” Mr, Chase tells a very interesting i pe OF | > le; ¢ experience with Marshal Foch, “May I smoke?" Marshal Foch asked as the artist was about to paint him, “The extent to which the Supreme Commander of seven or eight million men was subjecting himself to my orders was almost embarrassing,” laughed Mr, Chabe, “I gave him per- thission and the painting began, Pos- sibly had I known what the Marshal meant ®y ‘smoking’ I would not have | acceded so readily. The result was that I painted the great French gen- eral eitting behind what was virtually a dense smoke screen, I have never seen such @ smoker. A huge brown pipe lay on the table; as soon as he had gained my acquiescence, the long, thin, nervous fingers of the Marshat's hand seized it and instantly the vol- cano erupted.

To begin with, the consamer should eidewalk and entered the taxi and directed the chauffeur to drive me to @ certain address, On reaching the address I showed him the muzzle of one of the guns and directed him to accompany me to an apartment where I asked him if he knew me, and he told me had recognized me as pay no attention to the small dial, | which ts only read for testing, Pay attention only to the three us : po Pa angus 1OUSs, OV: Ede Me, Dials show 1,300 feet of gas used. large dials, It would be well to study the dials reproduced with this article in connection with the instructions that follow, One set of dials shows that the customer has used only 200 cubic feet of gas, As soon as the hand on that @al makes one complete revolution 1,000 cuble feot have been used, and the hand on the centre dial will re- | Dale shew 200 feet of Bae wood, ee peo cord 1,000, The hand on the left-hand dial will not begin to record unti? 10,000 cubio feet of gas have been consumed, Now, assume the hand 0m the right-hand dial te be between Read Your Gas Meter the figures 2 and 8; the lesser of the two numbers ts read, 200 feet, As- sume that the hand on the middle dial is between 3 and 4; again the lesser number is read.

I am confident that, in the hour and a half of the sitting, the Marshal filled his pipe at least twenty times, “I attempted to keep up the con- versation, but my French frequentiy failed me, and once in particular I became hopelessly entangled. While I was struggling with my sentences, ,'rying vigorously to make my mean- ing clear, Foch astonished me by breaking into perfect English, telling me in my own tongue what I was trying to gay.” “But they told me that you spoke no English!” I said. He smiled and said, in perfect Eng- Ish again: “Sometimes—for my friends.” When asked for permission to paint him, Marshal Foch said: “Any- thing you Americans want from me you can have.” After painting Major-Gen. George B. Duncan, Mr. Chase painted Corpl. Al-|&t least a dozen or two at your com- vin C York.

B recults, Indicated—are the real foundation and: the most important basis for short- hand speed. FILLING IN. Use a notebook about six inches wide, Take any good editorial or not too technical magazine article. Write the entire article (which should not be over a thousand words long) in shorthand, neatly, compactly and absolutely legibly in your notebook, leaving a space of five blank lines between each written line. Then, starting at the beginning, read each line of shorthand notes aloud (if possible) or to yourself. As you read the shorthand notes (thore should be no longhand) write them again on the line immediately un- derneath. ‘When you have finished the second line of notes of the entire article, re- peat the process with the third, fourth and fifth lines, thus writing the com- plete article five times. Don't fill in all the blanks at once. Go through the entire article each time. You will find that you read and write each succeeding line of notes with more apeed and assurance, The notes of necessity should be instantly legible. Consult no longhand. Throw yourself completely on the readability of your shorthand, on the neatness of your notes. Persistent practice by use of’ this devtoe gives you facility in reading, in recognizing the distortions inevi- table in fast shorthand writing, at the same time that errors or bad style in penmanship force themselves on your attention. While writing and re-writing the article see that you write it. Don't draw. Go along smoothly and regu- larly, always repeating aloud or to yourself. That is the way to get the quickest and best results. Practice a new article daily. THE MEMORIZED PARAGRAPH.

WRITING ON THE KNEE. In the initial stages of your prac« tice you are bound to run up against speakers who are too fast for you to take comfortably or profitably. that event you will often find that by, tracing the outlines of the spoken words with your @nger—the index finger, say—on your knee, you will be able to keep pace with the speaker, If you are easily embarrassed, cover! your hand with a book or newspaper, Persistent practise by this method, will appreciably enlarge your short, hand vocabulary and stimulate your shorthand mind. Whenever the speed of the speaker is beyond what you! can take in your notebook, “write on your knee.” Another similar scheme is to read’ aloud from a good book and trace the! outlines with a blunt penell or your index finger on the table or on your knee. If any word gives you trouble; check or underscore it, When you; have finished reading, go back to those words, put them into sentences and practise as indicated under “SPEED SENTENCE.” This “Speed Sentence” method, outlined tn a for-, mer article, is one of the most impor- tant methods of auto-dictation, Read it over again and practise daily from Essays McEvoy Gopyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World), Ignorant By J.P.
