I " Britain's School of Experience !? ? ? ? Today the homes of England are "military objectives" and British babes are born and reared in battle lines. The Gypsy Hill Training col lege, in southeast London, met the problem of what to do with babies tcnose mothers and fathers were engaged in day long war effort. How these children learned to help themselves is shown in these pictures.

THE PAPERS OF PRIVATE TURKEY Dear Ma: Well, ma, I ngw feel ao tired and sore all over that I gess I am in the pink of condishun. All feeling is gone from my feet and my legs are numb from the knees down so the drilling and marching don't hurt me no more witch shows how well trained I am. But the officers keep drilling me just the same and pay no attention to me when I tell 'em I have had enufl. We are sleeping five to a tent, but I am not getting any two much rest on aeceunpof the old sajring that two is company and three more is over crowding. There is always at least two buddies who want to tell stories or argue about ways and means to get promoted to be a kernel or sum thing. And we have a radio fan natick in our tent who thinks the best programs come after every body else is asleep. This guy is such a nut that if he was out in No Man's land he would carry a porta ble so he could hear a broadcast of what he was doing. ? * ? Another fellow in my tent don't sleep at all. He just sits on the edge of the bed moaning. It seams he was on a trip to see his best girl who lives 50 miles from his home town when he got a call to report for draft induckshun at once and he is still squawking. I also got a tent mate who was a anion man in Pitts burgh before he was drafted and he keeps making speeches trying to convinse us that we shud picket the general's tent and demand more money and less drilling. ? ? ? ? We have movies every night in a big tent, but I do not like them mutch as it makes me soar to see i all those fellers \ lolling around on ting in the moon ght with beauti i they should be in some camp lern ing how to take a gun apart and guard a latrine. But they do not make me as soar as news pitchers of congressmen when they was still chewing the fat over that lease-lend bill. I don't even know yet weather I am going to be lent to Europe or just leased or what? * ? ? It sure h?s been a cold winter to be in a army, but the old sarge who was in the last war says we shud of been around then and we wud not be kicking now. We have wood-burn ing stoves in tents here and he says in the last war he never saw a stove from the time he got his draft sum mons qntil he got home 'three years later. They also have boilers so we can have hot water in this camp witch he says nobody had accept Pershing and Alexander Woollkott in the last one. When we got here we wux given a saferty razzer five blades a cake of shaving sope and S a toothbrush and he laffed like ev erything and sed we must be going to the opera or sum place like that as in the last war soldiers shaved with there bayerneti and only cleaned their teeth when they had a friend who was a Y. M. C. A. sec retary and carried a spare. ? ? ? He says we are all getting bet ter consideraahun in draft camps to day than he got in the best hotels on fur low in 1917 and he showed me a pitcher of an outfit in the last war witch backs him up when he says we are dressed like dudes in com parison. He says that in those days they just chucked a bundle at you when you reported at camp and that whatever you found inside you had to put on as a uniform, even if it was just a slip cover off a piano. And he says he spent 11 months in France with a burlap bag over his head because the sergeant told him It was the regulashun army hat So when I feel like kicking I just listen to him talk. Well there Is not much more to say now. One of those new Ford plgmee tnicks ar rived here yesterday. It is all made o#\armor steel and all I want when I get back home again is one at these to use in Main Street traffic and pay no attenshun to those taxi cabs what try to shove me around.

NEW IDEAS Br both wnn irtm <=f3r DO YOU remember how old fashioned comforters used to be tufted? They were made of two layers of fabric with cotton between and every four inches or so in rows the three layers of material were caught toga'her with a stitch of wool yarn double which was then tied twice and clipped to make a fluffy tuft. WeB, that is exactly the way many of today's smartest chair covers are made. A cover of this sort f FABRIC-SEW TO EMS OFT deemed this old rocker ahd re vealed its hidden charms. The cover is plain, medium green glazed chintz tufted with dark green yarn and three inch dark green fringe is used around the bottom. A long zipper makes a center back closing. Each sec tion of the cover was fitted on the chair in the muslin lining first and these pieces were used as patterns for cutting the chintz, also tile cotton which was trimmed to be 14-inch smaller all around. After the pieces were tufted, as shown at the upper right, the seams were stitched up. Long stitches were then made on the in side to catch the edges of the cot ton in place. ? ? ?
