I rm ----. _ ficiallv and double that number in WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1919 : Grave of Lieut. A. Courtney Campbell Jr. Located near Pargny by American Officers Word was received late last week of the discovery by Ameri can Army officers of the grave of Lieutenant Andrew Courtney Campbell, Jr. The information was cabled to the par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Courtney Camnbell, 149 Kenilworth avenue, Kenilworth. Lieutenant Campbell was one of the firct north shore fighters to sac- rifice his life in the World War. He was an aviator with a record of four enemy planes "downed" of- addition, unofficially. He was killed in battle almost exactly two years ago, and since that time his father and mother have made every effort to find his last resting place. Today Mr. and Mrs. Campbell re- ceived from Miss Anna Murray Vail, treasurer of the American Fund for French Wounded in Paris, a letter which said : "It is now my great privilege to be! able to tell you that Courtney's grave | has been found and that he is buried | close to the spot where his plane fell. "Some ten days or perhaps a fort- night ago Lieut. Hamilton told me | that he had up to that time been un- able to find it, but that, as so many of the German indications of the lo- calities of allied graves were wrong, he was going to another search, which would be his last. He went up to Pargny a few days ago make and me n With his news, as I had hare mnished reading YOUr letter ] Tad for you that I scarcely w how to express myself. rave is in a directi 0site from the locality ¢ he reason of our not fine that it 15 so closely cove twisted mass of barbed wir is not visible ten fee t awa might have passed within a of it on our first search. » have nov into a woo x n ot in the villag Parguy/ and it. was one « | Ba small hoy who Bal d Ha nittol n on | his last Sar | "The eross on the marked with Courtney's the date on which he fell, and it wil be cared ior."

RED CROSS DECLARES WOMEN MUST LEARN HCME CARE OF SICK That the women of the United States have not the knowledce to en- able them properly to take care of the sick in their homes and that the spread of the last year's epidemic of influenza and its toll were in a large part due to the inability of American women to care for their own sick ar os use proper methods as safeguards against contagion is claimed by the Red Cross, which is now offering short courses in home nursing in Evanston and throughout the coun- try. It is that: "The prevention of contagions dis- eases is almost entirely a matter of 'ome hygiene, and the responsibility for the maintenance of civilian health must be borne in the ture more and more by the home. declared by the Red Cross the women in "The women of the country are immediate fu- 4 in ws Lottery Man ?
