General Pershing's staff highlights several striking acts of bravery by American soldiers awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for conspicuous valor in France. The brief selections showcase some of the most unusual feats among thousands recognized in official war records.
A column lists multiple Distinguished Service Cross recipients from the 1918 campaigns in France. Maj Oscar F Miller led a battalion through Argonne forest near Gesnes, was wounded thrice while urging his men, and died days later. Other entries name Private Coston, Private Funk, Private Buffalo, Private Mellen, Private Garrity, Private Buffalo, Private Blackwell, Private Slack, Sergeant Madsen, with home addresses and kin. An item about a chicken in Jeffersonville adds a humorous note.
A reflective piece arguing that personal strength courage and appearance decline due to self neglect rather than external causes. The author frames life begins with endowments but responsibility for deterioration rests with individuals and their choices.
Private Dunn, decorated for conspicuous gallantry at Grande-Pre, France on October 28, 1918, volunteered for a dangerous message run under artillery and machine gun fire. Wounded twice, he pressed on until killed by a machine gun bullet, sacrificing himself to reach the advancing line. Private Mellen, living with his mother in Worcester Massachusetts, also cited for valor after grabbing a live grenade and throwing it clear though it exploded in his hand, saving shell-hole comrades but causing severe injuries.
Captain Alexander R. Skinker of the 138th Infantry earned the Medal for his actions at Cheppy France on September 26 1918. He manned an automatic rifle feeding ammunition after his carrier was killed, leading an assault on machine guns despite heavy fire until he was fatally wounded. His widow resides at 646 Elmwood Avenue St Louis Missouri.

A compact fragment recalling Stevenson and Gladstone on moral action while musing on memory debt, youth rides, a kind stranger’s note, a neighbor with a wooly dog, and small, vivid details of daily life. The piece blends aphorism with light, observational humor.
Practical guidance on feeding the sick and home cooking includes koumiss preparation, quick beef tea, chicken broth, and varied vegetable dishes. It features custards, chowders, salads, dressings, canning notes, and several dessert and cake recipes with steps and ingredient lists.
Afghan historians trace origins to biblical roots and King Saul, labeling their people as Children of Israel, a theory not widely accepted by ethnologists. Afghan literature favors war epics and love lyrics, while most groups are Muslim, with mountain tribes clinging to blended pagan myths and older regional beliefs.
A historic view of Mesopotamia as cradle of Assyrian and Babylonian empires notes its rich culture and wealth. The piece then details a gilding process for small articles using caustic potash carbonate potash cyanide water and a small amount of gold chloride to produce gilded jewelry.
Postwar fashion shows an eager return to elegant evening wear with black and white gowns, silk and satin frocks, and ornate accessories. Designers like Worth showcase luxurious fabrics while jet jewelry accents enhance silhouettes, as women embrace brighter colors yet preserve wartime restraint. Dry cleaning tips for chinchilla coats appear alongside the fashion notes.
Georgette printed blouses in simple youthful styles are praised for their decorative fabrics and easy designs. Two pictured models feature square necklines, white vests, and georgette ties with crystal accents, while a second style shows a large floral print with a white plaited collar and ribbon ties. A new ribbon belt with a rough texture forms the latest fashion accent.
A new haircloth fabric, reminiscent of old grandmother sofa covers, is shown for large Dinek transparent hats. It offers substantial body for blocking a wide sailed crown, with a low round crown edged by a wreath of handmade pastel towers and a double thick brim suitable for veiling floral effects.
