Howbrook is far from being forc

Ho holds a worth-while record.
Since the beginning of the war he
has been eager to get into the ser
vice. Not only has he -.tried '-Id
enlist in many branches of the Can

but one or two branches of the
American army. Each time, he has
been turned down for being under
weight. ;
He conies' from a family whieh
lias sacrificed much for the cause
of the Allies. He has 23 cousins
and .several uncles on the firing
line in France, serving under the
British flag. Several cousiiib have
recently made their supreme . sacrr
