"NO MAN'S LAND."

Bevy - of Pretty Columbia Girl
Scouts Enjoy Higb Life
at "Pine Camp/'
Have you ever been "over the top"
in "No Man's Land?" If you have not,
and would lifce to experie ?ce that
""mystic feeling," it might be well for
you to hurry, unless, for sooth, you
would prefer having some of Uncle
Samfs men induct you through and
across the fiery desert on the fields of
France.
But this "No Man's Land" we
started to write about is a land closer
home?but a sure enough "No Man's
Land." It's a land where pretty
girls with graceful curls preside, and
lead you through the winding lanes
across the planes?to the jumping off
place, and then back again into the
mystic dephts of "No Man's Land." ;
Its.?
i
"*No Man's Land,"
The land'wnere flowers never fade,
"Where pretty girls never jade,
As they their daily tasks perform. i
!
"No Man's Land" is located at.
laurel Falls, just one, mile from Lexington
at George's Pond. It is inhab"
ited by/the girl scouts from Columbia,
and Miss Adell Minahan is scout com- ;
inissioner. Miss Minahan is superintendent
of play grounds in Columbia,
and well indeed has she kept her
? charges under feminine control.
The scouts are divided into groups,
the following commissoned, and noncommissioned,
officers being in
charge :
Capt. Gibbes of the Taylor school
group; Lieut. Heidt of the Shandon !
group; Lieut. Nary of the Maxey |
Gregg group; and Sergts. Clyde Lee
and S. Clowney. The girls do theirj
own work in and about the camp, and
when they get back to Columbia they I
will don khaki uniforms and will help
sell Liberty Bonds during the next
hig drive.
Following is a list of the girls in
"No Man's Land:"
Nell Moody.
Elizabeth Dudley. *
Monica Brown.
