I "Every woman can render impor tant service to the nation in its pres ent emergency," says the appeal. "She need not leave her home or abandon her home duties to help the armed forces.

SpELL Attorney for Assignee. 4 19 4thurs from a noted educator a letter stat ing that the reunion should prove to be a great event from both education al and patriotic viewpoints. He said it would probably be the last time such a spectacle would be witnessed. The writer gave it as his opinion that the assembly at Washington of the thousands of soldiers in gray should be invaluable in this time of war as an incentive to partiotic ser. vice to the country, and, be a stimulus to the youh who will then be in train ing for participation in the greatest war of all history. : In this connection Secretary of War Baker said visitors will find Washington one of the most striking and beautiful cities in the whole world. , He added that --"there is no building in the world that has, so thrilling effect upon the people as the capital." It is Secretary Baker's opinion that the capital city in war times is a good place to visit. General Joffre, marshall of France, who was here with the commissioners from that republic, was much inter ested when told of the approaching reunion at Washington. He said that rravo soldirs always honor a i-rave and honorable enemy, and commend ed the American spirit to be illus trated at Washington in June, when thousands1 of former Confederates with joyous acclaim will rededicate themselves to their happily reunited country and its flag. The visiting Confederates have been requested by Chairman Harper to bring their blankets with them, while General Harrison, commanding the Southern, veterans, has directed those who have their old wartime uniforms oi gray and4butternut to wear them to the reunion. These features will; give the occasion -a. touch of realism -.and bring to memory the great military experience, of more than half a cen tury ago when their wearers battled under the leadership of Lee and Jack son and other military leaders of Dixie. The hundreds of : Boy scouts of-this city and vicinity r will render invalu able service to the veterans and other visitors. ; i i neignDors. "Make saving rather than spending your social standard.

How a Duke Earned Sixpence " Harper's Bazar for May contains several good stories about the Duke of Norfolk, who died the other day.

Just make yourself useful and put these bas on my ab.-' , The Duke did the work, and pock eted a tip of sixpence with the words: "Thank you, madam, it's the first money I've ever earned in my life."
