C* Describes the Task la Handling Pilgrimages By September of this year 5,000 gold star mothers and widows will have completed the journey to and from the cemeteries in France and England where their loved ones have been laid to rest. During the pilgrimage these'women are being personally escorted and cared for by the Quartermaster's Department of the Army. Congress literally handed the Department the money and said, "Go and do the job!" How the Department is engineering the expedition is a story for history. The true extent of the tremendous task encountered in handling this pilgrimage of gold star mothers and and widows is modestly described by Major Louis C. Wilson, Q. M. C., writing in the June number of the Quartermaster Review, official publication of the Quartermaster's Department. "History fails to show that any nation at anf time ever undertook before a pilgrimage of this kind of magnitude, regardless of the extent of its appreciation for lives laid down and for the dear ones left behind to mourn," says Major Wilson. '•These gold star mothers and widows," the Major continues, "will, in their journey to and from this American sacred ground in foreign lands, be truly guests of our grateful nation; for the plans, both in major items and in the smallest of details, contemplate their complete convenience and comfort." Many of these women are past mid. die age, more than a few are not in the best of health and many have been overcome with emotion, due to the nature of the expedition. To see that these women are properly cared for on their journey has necessitated a vast series of constant, individual, personal service on the part of the men who have been detailed to look after them. It has become a job as momentous as it is noble, and it has required all the diligence and efficiency of the organization set up to perform it. Major General John L. De- Witte, the Quartermaster General, has called it "the biggest job the Department has attempted since the Wofld War." To afford an idea o{ the demands placed upon the Quartermaster's Department in handling the expedition, Major Wilson, in his article, takes a typical war mother and follows her movements from the time she leaves home until she returns. "Her name is Mrs. BroWn and she lives in the little western town of Smithville." The Major describes how Mrs. Brown is planning her trip, to be taken entirely at the expense of the govern ment. She has been instructed as to what kind and amount of luggage she should carry, and has received a letter telling her when he^: boat sails. . Before she leaves, tMF Major explains, the postman brings Mrs. Brown her railroad ticket and Pullman (lower berth) reservation to New York, together with a check to cover her meals and traveling expenses while en route. She will have to change trains at Chicago, but but there she will be met by an agent of the railroad, who will escort her and see that she makes connections. Upon her arrival in New York, an officer of the Regular Army will take he to her hotel, where her room, meals^and high class accommodations of all kinds have been provided by her federal host. Here she will rest for two days in preparation for her long journey across the "Mg pond." Escorted to the boat after her rest, she finds that cabin class accommodations have been provided for her and her baggage already in her stateroom. Every service has been extended for her convenience; if at -any time on the entire trip she should become ill, medical and nursing attention will be immediately available. Mrs. Brown's son lies in the Meuse- Argonne American cemetery in France, so she will disembark at Cherbourg, traveling from there to Paris, where first class hotel accommodations have been arranged for her. Aftfer a day of rest, she and the other women in her group, accompanied by officers of the Regular Army, will attend ceremonies, such as the placing of a wreath upon the tomb of France's unknown soldier. From Paris, Mrs. Brown will move her headquarters to a town near the cemetery she is to visit. Each day ( »r a week she will visit the grave of ' !r son and those of the sons of t ousands of other American mothers. fter a stay of about 14 days in I ranee she will depart for home, the ime diligent and personal care beg accorded her that she was shown l the outward trip. Multiply by 000 the tasks and services perform- 1 for Mrs. Brown and an adequate >nception is gained of what this gigantic undertaking means to the Quartermaster's Department., "But," writes Major*Wilson, "above all these essential evidences of a nation's solicitude for the mothers and widows who will be able to participate in these pilgrimages, there will be the outstanding fact that each one was afforded an opportunity to visit and see the last resting place of one who to her was the greatest hero of them all.

LIGHTS * DIXON of NEW YORK mi The City Underground. To me, one of the most fasclnstlng tours of New York can be made for a nickel on the front platform of 9 subway train. From a front window the subway is not as dark as it appears farther back In the train, and there are numberless things to Watch and puzzle over. There are the sig-' nal lights, and the accompanying automatic blocks that prevent a trajp from colliding with another. Every so often there are illuminated boards with the letters SB on them. I tried for months to figure out what SB meant, but finally had to give up and asked some one. It means section break, and Indicates to the motorman that one current supply ends and another begins there. I believe he Is supposed to shut off his motors at this point. At first--or even hundredth--glance it appears that every inch of the subway system is used. Platforms are jammed with waiting passengers, and no room is wasted. • • • New York's Speedwaf.'- ; Park avenu«. one of the "principal streets In New York running north and south through the heart of the city, Is really a speedway. Broadened a few years ago, this thoroughfere carries mctet of the rush hour traffic and in order to speed It up the police insist on all cars driving st a very fast rate. Therefore it is nothing unusual to see traffic moving through the center of New York at the rate of forty to forty-five miles an hour, without any protest from the police, but rather with encouragement •1 • • About Manhattan. Last Sunday i took a six-hour walk of about twenty miles around Manhattan, starting on the fashionable upper east side and working down through the slums. The slums are dirty, right enough, and crowded. But all the children on the streets appear to be well-fed and are warmly clad. And there is no begging there. It wasn't until I reached Park avenue at the completion of my jaunt that beggars, clad worse* than the slum dwellera, approached me. • • • Hope for Seafarers. That awful curse of the Twentieth century searfarlng man, the ship's concert, may finally become a relic of the past, instead of a pest of the present. The word has got out that the United States lines, faced with strong competition for summer trade from new ships of other lines, have decided to take on a cabaret crew. And why not? Summer hotels have recently been enormously successful in hiring Broadway players as masters of ceremony and generals of social activity. The Broadway players, weary of tramping up and down looking for jobs that don't exist, welcome these opportunities to get away from It all. They will even take smaller salary than is customary for the opportunity of sporting around in flannel trousers and summer drosses at the .more expensive resorts. • • • Big City Flashlights.

OalmSli «t HM--W CONGENIALITY SPRING GROVE Charlie Hunter, in "Behold This Dreamer," is imaginative, temperaibental, ambitious to be a painter, lie is married to the crude Illiterate daughter of a brush maker who neither unders t a n d s him nor does her father. They think him crazy, and have him examined and then confined in an asylum for the treatment of the ms r : illy deranged. Here he finds congeniality, sympathy, and inspiration to attain his Ideals. He wins a prize on some futuristic crude work which he has done in the asylum, and is released to go back to his commonplace wife and her Impossible, hypocritical father. The association with them is unbearable, and he finally goes back to his kindly, sympathetic and unbalanced friends where he may enjoy the freedom and the peace which is to help him accomplish his Idealistic ambitions. He is not wholly certain who Is crazy and who is sane, but he chooses the congenial environment. Mrs. Culver was a woman who had no need to apologize for her ancestry. She had descended from the blue blood of New England. Since she had ruled her household, and had been proud to do so. Now she was alone;' with the exception of herself, her family were married and moved away, or dead or Indifferent to her. There was no one left to whom she could play the grand lady. She did not enjoy this isolation. It piqued her pride that there was no one left whom she could lord it over, as she had been wont to do fifty years or more, and whose homage she could receive. The county hospital--or in common parlance, the poorhouse-- would accept her as a "paying guest" as they say in some aristocratic though Indigent communities, so she moved in, furnished her own room with the mahogany furniture and the old china which had come down to her from her ancestors, and reassumed her position at the head of the table with the less fortunate pensioners as her slaves and devotees. The move scandalized her re4ative» to whose ears it came, but It furnished Mrs. Culver with a congenial clientele, and she was happy. <& 1918.

"Gas fornwd after meals and nearly every night for twelve years I was forced to take medicine for my bowels. My nerves became badly shattered and sleep waa often out of the question. Weak kidneys caused frequent night risings and often brought on 'frightful dizsy spells during the day. "I decided to try Konjola and before I had finished the second bottle 1 could see a decided change for the better in my condition. I have taken eight bottles of Konjola to date and I can eat anything I wish without discomfort or suffering of any kind. My nerves are strong, I sleep well and my kidneys are normal again. My husband is5\now taking Konjola with the same good results. I never hesitate to recommend this great medicine."
