MILITARY TRAINING
IN THE SCHOOLS
Delegates at N. e. A, Convention
Pussyfooted When the Cues
ton Came to a Vote.

NEW YORK, July THE National
Educational Association convention
today pussyfooted when it came down
to a vote on the question OF military
training in schools. After picturesque
and oftimes lurid debate, the conven-
ton finally adopted resolution which
while neither favoring or disapprov-
ing of compulsory training, "recog-
nizes" the right Of states and mum.
cipalities to order such training, and
concludes: "the organization believes
that such training should be strictly
educational in it's aim and organ1za-
ton and that the military end should
not be permitted to pervert the edu-
cation purposes and practices OF the
school, Although the women dele
gates-frcm whom most OF the oppo-
sition to military preparedness has
heretofore been marked-were vast
ly in the majority at previous ses-
sions, for some mysterious reason to-
day they were absent from the hall
and the men nearly all OF whom were
against pacifism, were in control.
The question of pacifism VS.. pre-
paredness was threshed out in Madi

Miss Gait. Of Virginia, was one OF
the women who stood out firmly for
complete preparedness. She made an
appeal for adequate preparedness.

there are men in America to protect
us women, but do not want them to

What to Do for Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should not
be applied if good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 25c or S1.OO for
extra large size, get a bottle of zemo.
When applied as directed, it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching,
and heals skin troubles, also sores, burns,
wounds and chatting. 1t penetrates,
cleanses and soothes. Zemo is dependable
and inexpensive. Try it, as we believe
nothing you have ever used is as effective
and satisfying.
