That is one of the most interesting regula tions of Cupid's Bureau in 1919, if 1 may judge by the letters .1 am receiving from young women about the picking of a husband. They take many stipulations—thet he be fond of children; that he be an am- bitious worker; thet he should not oriticise hig wife's clothes (a most im- portant requirement, in my opinion)—but not a girl eo far has demanded a _ Greek nose, curly hair or the melting orbs of 4 matinee idol. I think the reason is that to the average girl a certain irregularity of feature, an unevenness of finish, a remoteness (rom the coldly statuesque, is Associated with her conception of 100 per cent. masculinity.

WIFE MUST HAVE OWN TEETH AND NOT BE “BOSSY.” Dear Madam: In picking a wife, she must meet the following require- ments: She must be a lady, must have a fairly good education. She must have her own teeth. She must not be “bossy.” She must have small feet—large feet denote a tem- per, She must be an early riser.

Their ages range from 19 to 35 years and several are married and with fam/flies Several have married since entering. Many of these men are refined and with high schoo! diplomas and the courses taken by some will extend over a period of four years, Though maimed they have the desire and de- termination to become efficient, phys.

Just as don as the boys get ac- quainted with the conditions of the college their ambitions heighten, their discouragements end, they see new things in new ways, they realize they can be born again and, after seeing all the different trades they can choose from to learn, they eagerly dive right in, forget their wounds ond miseries and start life anew. A bright chap of an Indian boy ap- plied a week ago and, after looking things over, he decided to take a four years’ course in electrical en- gineering. His name is Theodore A.

And Dr, Daniel R.

HERE are too many girls around this place. Elizabeth ts my’ latest flame. She has those “come hither” eyes and she drives a motor. And maybe she can't drive it! She's an Motor Corps chauffeur,and she makes that big French runadony shimmy all over the highway. It’s hard to say sweet cothings to a girl when she's driving and Elizabeth is always driving. Wien 4 % said, “You look snappy in that motor suit,” she cut dut the muffler and I couldn’t compete with twelve high powered cylinders. My gas gave out before the engine. A fortunate blowout stalled us on the second mountain yester- «day. I took my time changing the tire. Elizabeth has @ stream-line figure, 1919 model. I bet she'll never stay parked in « cosy home. And the upkeep will be something flerce for the chap that marries her. All she talks is nuts and bolts. A regular gasoline gossip. ‘The rube cop at the crossroads never fines Elizabeth for speecing, he merely stops her and tries to flirt. He told her she would have to put dimmers on her eyes or there would be some wrecks around the village. What chance is there to hold a girl's hands when they are always full of brakes? That's Elizabeth! The fellow that makes her his wife at least won't Dave to hire a chauffeur, She can do general housework around a garage if she doesn’t know an egg beater from a frying pan. England's Awards to War Chiefs _| Historic Method of Showing Gratitude for Victories Won ated the grade of full General, ang it is pertinent to recall that after’a failure of a business house in which he was a member he was so needy, that he took to writing his “Personay Memoirs” to support himself and bia family. Sherman and Sheridan later became full Generals as a mark of gratitude for their deeds in the Ciwss} War. Gen. Nelson A. Miles was raised to the rank of Lieutenant General afte: the Spanish War and Admiral Dewe won the thanks of Congress, a sword and the grade of full Admiral. Thi American people themselves gave home to the hero of Manila Jam. Not only have the English @ray: proved themselves highly grateful t their successful warriors, but have in most instances treated thi unsuccessful leaders with more o' less magnanimity. Cornwallis, who surrendered to Washington at York town, not only escaped censure, but in 1786 was appointed to the Order of the Garter, was named Governor Gen~ eral of India and Commander in Chie! in Bengal. Redvers Henry Suller, who failed to subdue the Boers in the South African War, returned to Eng~ land an unpopular man, but he did not suffer the fate of Lieut: Gen, Stoessel, Russian commander at Port Arthur. After the Japanese had com pelled his surrender, Stoessel condemned to die by the Ru but the Czar commuted his se to ten years, and he was pardone after serving one.

And his- tory is not without instances wherein the United States has almost ignored men who had won undying fame for the Stars and Stripes In all the array of English heroes perhaps none has been the recipient of such bowntiful honors as John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough. He rose through many positions to become Lord Marlborough on Dec. 14, 1702, with @ grant of $2,000 a year during the life of Queen Anne, The greatest tribute came to him after his victory at Blenheim the following year, when Parliament voted him the manor of Woodstock in the grounds of which a palace was built at the Queen's order at a' cost of $1,200,000. He was created @ Prince of the em- pire and the pi ipality of Mindel- helm was formed in his honor. In contrast with the treatment of this warrior stands the attitude of our own Congress, which has been content in recognizing merit by a vote of thanks, the presentation of & sword or the elevation of a soldier or sailor to higher rank. To Wash- ington, for instance, was given a sword, but more substantial reward probably would have been refused by the first President, who would not accept any salary for his ser- vices as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.
