DOUGHBOY FINDS WAY
TO HOLD OUT COIN
PARIS.—A tanned doughboy on
"holiday recently stepped up to the
•counter of a casino on the coast of
• Brittany and asked for a bathing
suit. He deposited the five francs
requiired of all patrons.
“You get the money back, you
know, when you return the suit,”
said the Young Men’s Christian
Association girl at the counter.
■“Sure, I know it,” said the soldier
grinning. “That’s why Im hiring
this suit. I’m not going in swimmin’
I’m just going to hang on the suit
. until it’s time for me to return to
camp. Then I’ll turn it in and have
at least five francs in my jeans.
Get me?”

OF
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Congress
seems at last about to make the
Grand Canyon of Arizona a national
park. For years the canyon has
been quite generally regarded as a
park, but officialy it is a section
of two national parks, a game refuge
and a national monument.
I ‘It has never been managed as a
part of the park system, and has
never been susceptible of develop
ment as such,” says the House public
lands committee in reporting favor
ably a Senate bill that would dedi
cate 950 square miles—600,000
acres—in northern Arizona as the
| Grand Canyon National Park. “This
magnificent gorge should now take
its place as a link in the national
park chain which already includes
most of the nation’s wonderful and
extraordinary natural features.”
It was thirty-two years ago last
January that the first bill to make
the Grand fcanyon a national park
was introduced in the Senate by the
late ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
then a senator from Indiana. Since
then the proposal has been presented
to Congress from time to time.
“It appears that there never has
been a valid objection advanced
against it,” declares Secretary Lane,
in a statement favoring the project.
“Nor can such an objection be urged
because the Grand Canyon belongs
to the federal government and any
attempt to thwart a change in its
status which would distinctly re
bound to its advantage, must be by
some private interest.”
Private resources have accomplish
es! limited development. Thousands
of tourists visit the Canyon annually,
but due to the lack of roads, trail*',
and side-trip designations the throngs
have litle opportunity to enjoy in
full measure the marvelous grandeur
of the region.
Less than 400 of the 600,000
acres that the proposed legislation
would place in the park are now
in private ownership, these being
held in small parcels near the rim.
Obviously, the greater part of the
land lies within the enormous gulf,
measuring- at some points 20 miles
across the top. Sufficient land is
to be included back of the north
and south rims to make possible
road development and to care for
camping and hotel facilities.

FIRST IN HEW
OF 0LS. SOLDIER
With the American Armies in the
Field.—When an American soldier
goes “over the top” or when he re
ceives a bullet or shrapnel wound
he thinks of his mother. The French
poilu thinks of his wife, and the
British Tommy of his sweetheart.
This fact is borne out by the
officers and doctors who have served j
in all three of the Allied armies.!
They declare that when the Ameri-1
can soldier is wounded the first
word on his lips in almost every
case is “Mother.” Even after he
is removed to the hospital he calls
constantly for his mother. His Brit
ish cousin, however, seems chiefly
absorbed in his sweetheart, and
longs to see her “just once again,” i
while his French compatriot thinks I
only of his “femme bien aimee.” |
The correspondent of the Asso-j
ciated Press at the American front
asked a number of soldiers what
thought was most on their minds j
when they first left their trenches!
to attack the Germans. In nine'j
cases out of ten the answer was,!
“Of home and mother.”
There were a few, however, who:
said that as they entered the battle 1
their minds were Riven over wholly I
to prayer, although they had never!
before been in the habit of praying.
Some of them kept before them ]
words of encouragement and counsel |
in letters from relatives.
One soldier on the morning of the I
attack received a letter from his |
mother, quoting the Scriptural.
phrase, “Trust in the Lord and no i
enemy shall prosper against thee." j
The soldier went through one of the
bloodiest battles of the war that day]
and came out unscathed.
Gentlemen's Suits cleaned and
pressed. Fur coats lined and reno-!
vated. Ladies' suits and dresses j
renovated at the tailor shop on up
per A street, near Th:rd. Open
Monday, Dec. 9.
