milk, a little chocolate and lo and
an innocent chocolate malted milk,
all around. Just the other day, the
malted milk manufacture was in
progress when the mixer skidded
and the delectable ingredients flew
all over the canteen and the can
teeners. This was annoying, to say the
least, but the worst is yet to come,
a the poets say. Undaunted by
this flttle accident, the matron
(whom you all know) calmly made
another one, paying no attention to
the stream of chocolate all over
the surrounding landscape. But
wait until we tell you that milady
calmly powdered her nose and
walked out after the second foamy
drink had disappeared. We will
draw a curtain over the faces and
remarks of the workers left behind.
Scrubbing brushes were called into
action, assisted by large quantities
of sky juice and soap, and after
several minutes of arduous labor
the canteen was restored to its usual
snotlessness. The countersign at

will find near the purling engines,
is "malted milk." But wear your
gas mask when you say it!
make a friend he goes home, espe
cially those in Camp Guthrie. How
ever, I am always glad to tee them
go. Yesterday practically everyone
I knew in Guthrie sailed for home.
Some of those boys had been stuck
there, as they say, for 10 weeks,
others were the 109th transportation
corps, which consisted of Nebraska
boys almost entirely. I found sev
eral I knew. 1 got up real early in
the morning to watch them march
by, for they had to march to the
docks about seven miles away, al
though their packs were taken in
trucks. They are not allowed to
ay anything, but the American grin
was in evidence. They would gladly
have marched to Hoboken to get
home, for that is the one desire of
the A. E. F. They thought that they
ought to take us girls along, though,
and can't understand why we stay
here a minute.
There are nine Y. M. C. A. girls
and one Jewish Welfare girl who
live together, have our own bar
racks and mess, negro cook and
orderly and everything else that the
colonel of the camp can give us.
With 30,000 men trying to repay you
for being there, one is in alanger of
being spoiled. 1 have five men de
tailed here in the club all the time
to do the work, who will only let
me do the things I actually am' com
pelled to. 1 work out a plan and
they carry it out. However, ttgets
to be some task to feed thbnsands
of men with just ice cream and lem
onade, then dance for two or three
hours after you get there, alt the
time keeping up some sort of a
conversation.
Sunday 750 boys came into the
etmp from the states, most of them
nnder 19, to be used as replacements
ap in Germany. I can't see how
the government can allow such boys
to coma over here for three years,
I am sure tha recruiting officers
save never been in France. So
many of tha boys are so homesick
sow they can scarcely stand it. The
unanimous opinion of the boys of
the A. E. F. is that if they see their
young brothers coming into France,
they will kick them into Hoboken.
1 never saw men so worked up over
anything.
Just now we are having delight
ful weather. The days are hot, but
I sleep nnder four blankets every
night. Since I have been here if has
rained? very littltf comparatively.
The surrounding country is beauti
ful. F.ach week a new flower comes
in blossom and tha fields are thick
witl) them. Alt we have to do is
pick flowers in order to have more
than wa need one week it is the
hawthornew next daisies, then pop
pies, and so en.
May 30, four of its girls with 10
boys went out in an army truck to
gather flowers as wa were respon
sible for 30 wreaths on Decoration
Day.
Of course, we had to take quite a
trip to. make the day interesting.
We went first to Portchateair,
where there is a targe park contain
ing a review of Christ's life from
hia appearance before Pilate, until

is on a high mound so that it can
be seen for miles. The French peo
ple around here, are very devout,
each little village having its Catho
lic church; all of them very wonder
fully made.
We got busy on the wreaths
whitfh we' made of evergreen
branches, and quantities of daisies.
We arrived at the American ceme
tery at St. Nazaire just at, dusk.
This cemetery contains the graves
of 1.200 American soldiers, each one
marked by a plain white wooden
cross which states the rank, organ-,
ization .and date of death of each!
soldier. These-rows and rows of
white crosses are straight each di
rection you look, the whole ceme
tery being beautifully kept.- I was
unable to go to the exercises Dec
oration Day. but understand they
were very beautiful, the French peo
ple decorating the graves as well as
the Americans.
I hope. you can get something out
of this ptecjr letter as we have so
many interruptions always. It is
time to serve now.
Very sincerely yours,
MYRTLE JUDD.
Miss Jane Beats Wins As Artist Contralto in Contest
With 1,500 Aspirants At the Great
School of Harmony
SFNCE time immemorial music
has played its star role in the
great drama of history. We
cannot traJe its origin to a definite
period. An ancient legend recounts
that th wind making sweet tones
among the reeds of the Nile first
taught mankind the art ol music
and tae use of musical instruments.
We read of ihe mysterious ages
ihin "the morninor ctnra ai .
gether" and, of the courts of ancient
kings when serfs and vassals sooth
ed royal hearts with dulcet tones
irom raorei ana narp. snepnerds
played the pipe under the shady
trees by wells of cool water. The
organ composed of a few reeds,
was played -to- picturesque groups
atwknt the tent anrl tha rvmkil a
used on occasions of triumph.
Tuenang the parenment leaves and
deciphering the dim hieroglyphics
we may even read of a soloist Naa
mah was the name of this prehis
toric stat and so remarkable was
her talent that all the world "won
i set ar , m.s.!.... -.... aa, ... ii
dered" at her, proving that the cave
man or his collegues were not so
greatly different than the public of
today.
"Music hath charms" and the
homage of the world is laid at the
feet of the singer who can drive
dull care away - and lead us into
Elysian fields with the beauiy of
her voice. No fairy svaves her wand
and bestows this priceless gift, but
only by years of the most arduous
labor does the singer find the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow.
It is most interesting to note the
progress of these Melbas in the
making. One" of Omaha's most tal
ented daughters, Miss Jane Beats,
is already ascending the first round
of the adder, of musical success.
Miss Beats has just returned from
Cincinnati, after. a brilliant season
of study at the Conservatory of Mu
sic. Of the 1.500 aspirants at the
great school of harmony Miss Beats
was adjudged -"artist contralto."
To attain this pinnacle would be
quite enough to tax ths capacity of
most mortals but Miss Beats has
not even devoted all the shining
hours to her music for she has
trained many young minds, teaching
in the Cincinnati schools. We can't
quite determine when she finds time
for scales and exercises, but it must
be after the stars are lit.
A beautiful pin studded with
pearls and embellished with "the
pipes of Pan is worn by this young
contralto. It signifies that she is a
member of the Sigma Aipha Leta
sorority, the oldest and most ex
clusive organization at the conserv
atory. Prior to her eastern instruction
Miss Beats was a pupil of Thomas
J. Kelly in Omaha for six years and
was also a member of the teaching
stall here. She was also under Mr.
Kelly's guidance in Cincinnatti and
will continue her study with him
Text year.
A musical critic (and who c6u1d
be more severe) says of this young
singer's work "Jane Beat, has ooth-
ing to put over hers is just real,
pure, beautiful singing. New York
and the masters will be the next step
atid her dream almost realized the
operatic stage and the plaudits of
the multitude!
Venetian Carnival Will
Be Gala Affair at
Carter Lake.
No one who has ever followed
the fortunes of Mr. Sparkler in his
efforts to win the hand, if not the
heart, of Fanny Dorritt will fail to
be interested in the notice issued by
the Carter Lake club that a real
Venetian carnival will be held on
the club grounds and club water on
the afternoon and evening of July
26, 1919.
Harry Mallo has chartered
the Manawa seaplane for the occa
sion, and landings will be made on
the club grounds during the after
noon. We are advised that the reg

The Green Trail
The green trail of the grasses,
And the leaftrail of the tree
The young spring's in the meadows, 1
And her breath is on the sea ;
Hert laughing Hps are calling,
Xnd they sing across the vale ;
Oh, take the path of morning
When the green is on the trail.
By mill and shop and temple
I . She has passed to call men forth
To the green domains of nature
East and West and South and North;
Her azure eye3 are twinkling,
And her fleecy cloudships sail ;
And we'll take the path of beauty
When the green is on the trail.
The hammers of the toilers
Have been swinging hard and long;
O'er the magic of the valleys
Pours the young spring's airy song;
Oh, put away the labor,
For your cheeks are turning pale ;
And you want one breath of beauty
When the green is on the trail.
