CAMP ADAIR CHAPELS What Are You Worth? marble statue figured purely ou the basis of materials is worth very little. A wprk of art by one of the masters valued only in the materials used is worth only a few cents. But, when these express dreams and ideals; when they picture beauty and carry history; then their worth cannot be valued in terms of dollars aud cents. The human body, when analyzed chemi cally and materials valued separately, is worth less than a dollar.

Club, and he performed willingly if , not welL He danced with such agility that . many a murmur of doubt was heard as someone breezed the word I around that Sgt. Meredith is the grandfather of a five-year-old boy i and was old enough to enlist in the Spanish American war. He’s young enough, he says, to , try anything his men in Co. A, 370th Med. Bn., are asked to do, and young enough not to ask for retirement in less than a year-and- a-half, when he will have served 30 years. Sgt. Meredith enlisted in 1915, and the following year participated in the Mexican War with the 26th Infantry. In 1917, he saw action again with the Second Ambulance Corps in the first world conflict, serving in Europe for 17 months. One of the most amazing acts of friendship and devotion recorded in the Army occurred in 1939 when Sgt. Meredith was told that he, as a first lieutenant in the Medical Administration Corps, could not ship across with the men he had ‘aught and trained with and lived with for several years. Learning this, he immediately resigned his ' Promotion of Lt. Col. L. C.
