The girl rose and made her way
unsteadily to the back door and let
herself in. She threw herself on the

running her automobile into tele-

some children who were roller skat-

She had the right spirit in mind.
But that is not the important ques-

STYLES

STYLES - Isn't 1t funny now so
many people, in fact the big majority
of the people, fall for the styles. l
wonder how many realize that the
makers of mems and women's clothes
just coin the dough while we folks
lay aside last years clothes and buy
new ones just to be ''in style"
know of one exception to the rule
an uncle of mine has worn one of
his suits so long, as least he claims
so, that he has been in style three diff
ferent times. That's going some.
A couple years ago the men wore
bloomer-like trousers. The next
years they we're skin tight. This sea-
son the coats are cut double-breast
ed. All different, you'll notice.
The women have switched from
trains to high-cut skirts. They have
gone from shoes laced up the front
to shoes laced up the side. They have
worn hats that were large one years
and then ones that weer small the
next season. Such are styles.
But you can't get away from them, ::

all fall for them. l will confess that

$500 TEACHERS\
FROM ENGLAND

FIGHTING FORCES
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence)
London, June 27.-Fifty- live hun
dred school teachers from England and
Wales have joined the British fighting
forces since the beginning of the war.
The proportion is largest in London,
where the free public schools have
provided 100 school-master recruits,
while $50 more have obtained permis-
sion to join soon.
The educational authorities grant an
enlisting teacher leave of absence
for the duration of the war and guar
antee him reinstatement without detri-
ment to his status, salary increases,
and professional prospects. Moreover,
while serving in the army, he is al
lowed his full school pay, less army
pay and allowances.
The school masters. accustomed to
command and thoroughly familiar with
the system of Swedish gymnastics
which forms an important part of the
training of the new armies, are in
great demand as drill instructors, and
large numbers have promptly attained
non commissioned rank, or accepted
commissions.
Substitute teachers have mostly
been provided from women who left
the profession upon marriage and have
now returned to fill what are called
war service vacancies" In hundreds
of cases. where a woman teacher has
married man teacher the wife has
returned to the class room, thus fill
ing the gap caused by her husbands
