AS HANGER

Through American generosity thousands of suffering European soldiers are, figuratively, to be put or their feet again. The need for arti- fcial limbs in Europe is appalling writes A. S. Hanger, of Washington now in Europe assisting in the move ment to supply substitutes for the I;n1bs soldiers have lost. The need of limbs is greater than any one can irnagine, he declares. He believes this is due to the terrific artillery bombardment the trenches are con stantly undergoing.
 Poverty stricken Serbia, little vic tim of three successive wars-and now engaged in another - five wears of constant fighting-is to be the first beneficiary of the new American movement. The appeal is to buy artificial limbs for those whose legs have been torn away.
 The plan is backed by Madame Slavko Grouitch, wife of the perma- ne~t Under Secretary of Foreign Af fairs of Serbia. A former American girl, she has only recently returned to Serbia, following a visit to this country in the interest of Serbian re- lief work In message, just received, she says, "I will give every help to efforts here to see that artificial limbs are properly received, applied and appreciated"
Arizona republican., 1915-11-14

The movement is expected to SUD- ply thousands of artificial limbs for maimed soldiers still in hospitals, be- cause, without legs, it is impossible for them to be taken away. If they were taken away without artificial limbs, those on the scene say, they probably would starve to death, be- cause many Serbian soldier has left the hospital only to find his entire family wiped out by the terrible ty- phus scourge,s which American aid finally conquered. If artificial limbs can be supplied, those behind the plan say, the wounded soldiers will become sef-supporting again.
 Checks to purchase artificial limbs must be marked Artificial Limb Ac- count" and sent direct to Murray II. Coggeshall, treasurer of the Serbian Committee, 128 Broadway, New York City. Each limb will bear tag giving the name of the donor so that the soldier recipient may know of his benefactor. Seven dollars and half will purchase an artificial leg where the leg has been amput2ted below the knee, and ten dollars will buy substitute for leg, amputated above the knee.
 Madame Grouitch, well known in America, will herself receive the shipments of artificial limbs in Ser bia and will see that they are proper ly distributed.

 "The lack oe grace and symmetry in the figures of many women is due to a combination of luxurious living with lack of some definite. animat- ing purpose. There are so many wo- men who are sitting down even when they are stalding Up. Their figures show the same lassitude, the same limpness of muscle, exhibited by a tired person leaning back in a low, deep soft chair. The person who stands or walks in this fashion can- not have the curves or lines of the perfect figure. The first thing she needs is bracing interest in life.
 Many women eat too much and many girls eat too little. A girl should not start off to school or to work on cup of coffee. She should not lunch sweets between meals and then come to the table with no ap- petite for wholesome food On the other hand, mature women, especi- ally if they are well to do, eat too much for the small amount of ex- cercise they take. If they would do more work, the food they consume wouldn't injcre them. Often I tell my rich women patients i'll Chicago to scrub their own floors. The mod ern dances are also good exercise

and all for one-and that one thing is the good of the nation.
 q should like tc see similar train ing camps established in every sec tion of the country" said General Leonard Wood. "These men will form third battalion" he continued, referring to the men of the second camp, land will give us about two thousand men who have gone through the training camps this sum- mer at Plattsburg, not including the six hundred colIege men who attend ed the first camp held there in July"
 It is possible that the Plattsburg camps will result in a system which will fit in exactly with the students camps which have been going on sev- eral years. It has been suggested that men at the Pl9ttsburg camps and other men of proper age ard qualifications may in future qualify as reserve officers by gc.ng through the following course satisfactorily: First. eight weeks training in in- strUction camps: second, taxing a prescribed course of s5tedy by cor responde1ce or lectures; third, by passing an examination. The eight weeks training would probably be broken up irto four weeks the first year and four weeks within the fol- lowing three years.
 The big idea behind the PIattsburg camp is beyond that Of the mere ,nili-- tary training it affords. The idea contemplates volunteer federal re- serve on some plan practical both from a military and a civil stand point. With some such plan, it will be simple matter, regular army officers believe, to recruit from year to year large number of picked men and train them in sectional camps. The college constituency alone numbers almost 75,0cO avail able men, coming along each year. If only five per cent of these could be obtained. this would, in a few years, lead to the creation of a great

Investigation by United States At torney General Gregory of the al legged smuggling of aigrette plumes through the mails has given great impetus to the cause of bird pro- lection in the United States. The man who set Uncle Sam's sleuths af- ter the plume pirates is T. Gilbert Pearson, of New York City, Secre- tary of the National Association of Audubon Societies.
 Pearson is the man behind bird conservation in America. As Dr. Wiley is to pure food and Clifford Pinchot is to forestry, Gilbert Pear son is to bird protection. It is his life's work. He is a modest man. He slipped quietly into Washington and out again but not until he had put the greatest detective agency in America-the Department of Justice on the trail of the head hunters. The magnitude of the bird protection movement and his recent swift moves have forced him into the spotlight of public interest.
 He has been interested in birds since his boyhood. He paid his first year in college with a rare collection of birds eggs which he had gathered and which he prized more highly than anything else-except an edu- cation. He worked his way through college by collecting and mounting birds for the University of North Carolina.
 The "punch" he showed as first game commissioner of North Caro- lima has since supplied the backbone that has pat bird-Drotecting laws on the statute books of New York, Michigan, Ohis, Iowa, Louisiana, Oregon, California, North Carolina, Florida and other states, as well as much important federal legislat tion
 In the work of getting the state legislatures to pass laws protecting the birds he has encountered bitter opposition from "lohbies," but he is a resourceful fighter and is never more at home than when debating witlr law ars before a legislative committee. He is trying to have leg islatures make it illegal to destroy non-game birds, or their nests, or to sell their feathers-even to block the sale of any feathers from a native bird in the state or a bird of the same family
 Prior to the organization of the National Association of At5rdon Societies, eleven years ago, the sep arate bird societies lacked power to accomplish much. Interest Jagged.

He began educating school children in bird-study and, last year. he enrolled 152,1 "j junior members" of the National Association of Audu- bon Societies and gave them courses in bird study.

they know just what he has had to go through to make himself ready for instant service at any time. If some of our law makers, state and national, could take advantage of such a training camp as this one, there could not help but be a clearer understanding of what military training demands. The effect could rot help but be salutary to our whole national body of citizens.
 Personalities have been forgotten there as they could be nowhere else in the world. Men of such pressing affairs that, in their offices, it is difficult for the average caller to see them; men accustomed by a word to summon or dismiss masses of men; men who have held even the destiny of nations in their hands as high officers of our government, men r.ow in power over millions of people, as is Mayor Mitchell, of New York, all are at Plattsburg, or have been there, as privates, tent-mates and "bunkies," each learning for himself the long and tedious process of mak- ing an effective soldier. But there, these men are all merged into one common body. In no other place have I ever observed the absolute shedding of the personal element as I have at Plattsburg. It is one for all

"The drama of the future is being shaped by the youth of today. The trend of all modern education is to- ward the development of the dra- matic instinct" This is the idea of Miss Mary Ware Laughton, head of the school of English speech and ex- pression, one of Boston's leading educators. It is Miss Laughton who organized the now famous "Out Door Players" at Peterboro, N. H., whither many young woman pupils from all t7er the United States disported as filn'y-clad wood nymphs during the sum ner.
