SAY COLLEGES DON'T
WANT MILITARY DRILL
Anti-Militarism League Has
Statistics to support
Contention.

Approximately $4,000 students in
thirty-seven colleges are opposed to the
practice OF military drill and summer
camps for college men while about
1000 are In favor OF the idea. according
10 an announcement just made by the
Collegiate Anti Militarism League
The AMI Mlitarism League. of which
Karl q. karsten of Columbia University
is president. was formed several months
ago to night the militsristc propaganda
among colleges OF such organizations as
the National Security League and the
American Legion, and particularly the
agitation for introducing military train
ing for students.
In its inquiry the league says that
three questions have been asked %
Whether military drill exists and if the
students favor the plan. t2) Whether
summer camps exist and whether the
students believe they are beneficial.
t3) Whether lectures on tactical sub
jects form part of the college curricu-
lum and with what sentiment are they
received.
"Of the colleges questionedI an
nounces the report, twenty two show
that a majority oppose the introduction
OF military drill. while only fourteen

60 per cent. of the colleges register a
decided opposition to military drill for
students
Another vital point in connection
with the above statistics" the report
continues, ''is that the presence of mill
tary drill in college increases the
military spirit. This refutes the argu-
ment OF militant advocates of prepared

martial sentiment. OF the nine colleges
which already have military drill seven

She Has Butter Fingers

CPREAD one of her roses on a cracker
and eat it, and then probably you will
~ believe that it did not grow on a bush
but was made in forty-fve minutes by the
nimbe fingers of Mrs. Alice Nj. Cooksley
of Twin Falls. Idaho.
Mrs. Cooksley has an exhibit in the
Food Products Building at the EXPOSE
ton in San Francisco. where the roses are
displayed under glass in chilled cases, on
trellises and in bouquets. They are of all
colors, but the tea-rose is the most popu-
lar This rose is made of butter-butter
as we use it on the table. The red roses
and the pink ones are made by adding
beet juice in varying quantities to the
butter.
Mrs. Cooksley furnishes these roses for
banquets. At recent bankers dinner,
where five hundred men We're entertained,
the floral decorations were all of butter
with natural foliage.
Mrs. Cooksley is a butter expert, de-
signer, and modeler, and has combined
the three into business that nets her an
excellent income. She has taken a num-
Der of prizes in competition with men for
her creamery butter.
She makes her roses in room where

Oh, won't you believe me that there
couldn't?"
But in her very tone there was that
which made Laneham bend quietly for
ward to the chauffeurs speaking-tube:
"Collet," he commanded, "please keep
that gray landaulet in sight"
Both men looked compassionately at
the girl-she was struggling SO hard to
control herself, her agitation was so keen.
Vikings spoke first:
"If you'd rather not tell us, Daphne
if you'd rather not speak about it"
"But | will" she cried, al will, if it's
only for her sake! ! hare seen him before
i saw him at her home-but-oh Doc

man. "Most of us you can't tell about:

The gray landaulet had turned west
again. They saw the street number, and
they knew instinctively that Glasbury
was on his way back to the Casa Reale-
or the Casa Grande now. Two minutes
more, indeed, and he was dropping out at
the Casa Reale entrance.
At which D. Hope broke out again
"Oh and isn't his face enough? Could a
man who looks like that have anything,
even remotely, to do with such a thing?'
"I'm with you there" said Vikings.
"And H. said the Doctor. "And |!

Everybody knows he is, Vikings once
more took it up.
At that moment Glasbury came out
again, and got into the landaulet, and it
started back to where, in the shadow of
the corner electric, Collet had stopped
their own car Hes had something to
trouble him." the Doctor broke in. "Any-
body might have. Most likely it's just
plain overwork. And if every man who
looked a bit played and drawn
He stopped, because at that moment
Glasburys car flashed by. AS the young
fellows face, pale and slightly upturned,
came full under the white electric, again
all three of them could see it clearly. And,
as if it had been the hour after the murder
itself, each of them started, and drew in
their breath as if to stife a cry. What was
in Glasbury's face now was something
that no one could possibly mistake for
overwork, or for any other of earths
minor troubles. His lips were parted, his
eyes wide with newly encountered or
newly remembered horror-and horror
still so close as to abide both in the light
of day and in the nightmare of dreams.
d. Hope shuddered and shrank back.
The Doctor, throwing at her professional
glance, reached for her hands and took
them firmly in his own.
"Willings," he said quietly, al want you
to take the first taxi we see and get D.
Hope home. I'll follow you. And if he's
still at the st. Hilaire, where he went at
first, ought not to be long"
A cab was soon in sight. He put them
into it; and again, running up his speed,
Collet caught that gray landaulet.
1t stopped at the St. Hilaire, one of the
smaller bachelor-apartment hotels off
Longacre Square. And when Glasbury
had had ample time to take his elevator,
Laneham followed him as far as the
desk.
He spoke to the night clerk

mo, note will do" And, picking up
a card and envelop, he was stepping aside
to write it, when the clerk spoke again:
"Oh, say, maybe this is meant for
you. remember him saying some one
was to come in"
He slid a letter across the glass.
1t was addressed to a Courtney Jones.
"to be called for" But the name was of
no account. 1t mattered neither then nor
later. 1t was the writing which, from the
first instant, held the Doctors eyes. If
six words could offer any proof, he had
that night, when little expecting to, taken
his third step For the writing on that
envelop was, line for line, the writing Of
