Allen, chief signal officer of the Unit
ed States army, will on February 13
retire from active service and go back

of 41 years which reads like a novel.
He has fostered the science and la se
cure In the knowledge that when lie
retires he will leave behind an avlu
branch of the slgral corps which, al
though not as large as that of many
other nations, Is considered by experts
to be probably the most perfect.
TO MAKE A HOME,
To make a home you need not build
An edifice of stately size
With tapestries and treasures filled
And turrets reachng to the skies'.
The Jeweled window, gilded dome-
It is not these that make a home.
To make a home you 'need not wait
Till fortune fills your lap with gold
A simple cot, an open gate,
May more of Cheer and comfort hold
Than all a Caesar's castled Rome
For love, not splendor, makes a home.
To make a home, take some content,
A little savins" year by year,
Some homely-fashioned ornament,'.
A keepsake christened by a tear, '
A voice to greet you In the 'gloam '
Such little matters make a home.
To make a home, take simple things.
A pealsant fire, an ample chair, .
A picture that to memory clings,
A quiet beauty ev'ry where
To other towns you need not roam :
To buy the things to make a home.
