Mrs. Leonard Wood, -wife of General
Wood, recently was presented with a j
beautiful watch by her eo-workera In
the Red Ctos. The watch, on which
Is engraved the Red Cross insignia. Is
a token of love and friendship. Mrs.
Wood has been one of the most earn
est workers in the Red Cross of the
New York division, and to her is due
much of the credit for the success of
the unit.
Mrs. Wood leaves with the General,
who has been transferred to the de
partment of the Southeast, and the oc
casion was a farewell from the ladies
of the unit.
Three units of the First Armored
Motor Battery of the New Tork Na
tional Guard took part in maneuvers
off Fort Washington Park. New York
City. The batteries in fighting forma
tion hack away at the enemy with
their rifles. This formation is the way
they would take part in an actual bat
tle. Some of the men approach on
motorcycles and then take their places
in the armored cars.
Women drove the First Armored
Motor Battery, New York National
Guard, through the streets of New
York City, to show that they were
capable of handling it. The women
learned all about automobiles and their
engines in the West Side Y. M. C. A.
Auto School and they bandied the bat
tery like veterans. Even the men were
envious Of their dexterity.
They are willing to drive it for the
Government if tbey are needed, or they
would lend their skill and knowledge
to any understudy in the service that
Would benefit the country;

Hungarian soldiers in Budapest seem
happy and carefree, despite the serious
war in which they are participating,
and the comic-opera appearance of
their uniforms. It was reported recent
ly there was a revolt of troops in
Budapest, but this was not confirmed.
Five thousand school children of
New York of all nationalities by de
scent or birth appeared in City Hall
Park and sang the National anthem
and saluted the flag. This is part of
a general movement to Americanize the
foreign-born population of New York.
Mayor Hitch el reviewed the children.
There is a beautiful cathedral at

Germans soon. They will pxoDaDly

BETTER than any furniture polish
for use on polished surfaces
whether floors, or desks and tables is
the prepared, liquid wax which may be
purchased by the quart or gallon
the latter costing about $1.50.
A gallon of this wax will last six
months in an ordinary household and
there is no odor after Its use. as there
Is in the case of most furniture pol
ishes. The wax cannot possibly hurt
mahogany or any other wood and it
brings a soft, mellow luster in no time
at ell quite unlike the glassy gleam
given by some of the prepared pol
ishes on the market.
Wax and rubbing that was the rec
ipe of old-time housewives, and it is
surprising how much better a room
looks after two hours have been spent
waxing and rubbing furniture and
floors- Use two old flannel cloths, the
first moistened with the liquid wax.
Then rub briskly with the dry flannel.
The more you rub the softer and richer
will be the luster.
Never apply a cloth dampened with
water to a waxed surface. Keep free
from dust and rub frequently with a
clean flannel cloth. Once In eo often
apply the liquid wax. In tho polishing
of floors a weighted cloth is a great
assistance and there is no better Imple
ment than a brick covered with an old
piece of carpet. Highly varnished
mahoeasvy" furniture may be made to
look like real mahogany by rubbing
lightly with linseed oil and powdered
pumice. Afterward rub with liquid
wax and flannel cloths.
College Education Ia Asset.
In regard to the general business
criticism of the value of college men a
writer In the March American Maga
zine says:
"When you come to analyze a col
lege It is hard to discover anything in
it that should help a man in modern
business. What has "Cyrus marched
forty parasangs' to do with the price
of cotton in 1916T How should a
knowledge of the philosophy of Plato
help a man to get hls salary raised? I
cannot answer these questions, but this
I know: My first boss took into his cr
ganixation an office boy named Art
Morgan. Art was a loveable chap; the
boss had a real fondness for him. and
pushed him ahead as fast as he possi
bly could. He confided to me one day
that he had hoped to make Art general
manager. But he got Art up to $40 a.
week and, try as he would, be could
not push Art a single notch further.
The boss told me about It one night at
dinner.
"'It's taught me a lesson.' he said;
T am never going to take another young
man into my organization unless he has
a college education or its equivalent- "
The world Is slow to recognize a
genius because It has been gold bricked
