NEW ARMY BILL IS
HELP FOR ENLISTMENT

ATLANTA, Ga, June Limited
States army recruiting officers station
ed in Atlanta believe the general stan
dard of enlisted men in the United
States army will be substantially ele-
waited by the opportunities offered to
secure educational training, under the
provisions of the new army bill which
recently passed the house and senate
in Washington and will soon be APP
proved by the president The bill pro-
yides that:
I'm addition to military training,
soldiers while in the active service
shall hereafter be given the opportua
ity to study aad receive instruction
upon educational lines of such char
acter as to increase their military eff
ficency and enable them to return ID
civil life better equipped for industrial
commercial, and general business oc-
Cupation. Civilian teacher may be
employed to aid the army officers il
giving such instruction. and part of
this instruction may consist of voca-
tional education, either in agricultural
OF the mechanic arts"
The provision of the army bill was
introduced by United States Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who worked
hard until he secured its passage. 1t
was highly endorsed by the House and
Senate conferees when the bill went to
conference.

Cops Have It
Their System

ATLANTA, Ca, June Atlanta
automobiles have got the speed
mania so badly that even the police
are infected, and when Patrolman
Pearson bought himself an automobile
the first thing he did was to exceed
the speed limit and land ait police sta
ton under arrest. How a policeman
could buy an automobile is an inter
esting question, without reference to
the violation of the speed limit, but
that was not the matter with which
the a.resting officer concerned him
self. Policeman Pearson will face Re-
cnrder johnson for speeding.

TAKES A HINT
FROM OLD NEW YORK

ATLANTA, Ca, June 1-Atlanta's
health department, taking its cue from
New York, is planning to inspect res
taurants and cafes and catalogue them
according to the sanitary condition of
their kitchens, dish-washing machin-
cry, etc. Up-to-date requirements
laid down by the metropolitan health
authorities are clean kitchens and
and utensils, medical GER
for employees, clean and
washable garments for employees,
separate sleeping quarters for employ
ees, clean garbage cans, fly screens,
running hot water, clean floor, ceiling
etc. The restaurants are classified as
Good" Fair" and Bad" and signs
are posted by the New York author
lies. 1t is believed the plan if adopt
ed in Atlanta will greatly improve the
standards of cafes and res
taurants.

BERLIN WANTS REVENUE
AND MORE FOR The WAR

BERLIN, June IA proposal by
the government to increase postal and
Geographic rates in order to add to its
revenue has met with opposition from
papers that believe the public will de-
feat the object of the plan by writing
fewer letters, but also from publica-
tons which maintain that higher tel
egraphic tolls will put Germany at an
increased disadvantage in it's efforts
to place it's case before the neutral
world.
Telegraph rates, insofar as they con
Germ the newspapers, should be reduc-
ed rather than raised, it is commended.
The papers seem to be unanimous in
belief that Germany in the past has
neglected rather than recognized the
value of facilitating it's means of get
ting German news to the rest of the
world, and of receiving the news of
tie rest of the world.

STORIES OF THE WAR
War Causing Gray Hair.

What will be the effect upon future generations of the premature aging of millions of men now at the battle fronts? Army physicians and men of science generally are. beginning to dis cuss the problem. It is said that soldiers ten months in the trenches, exposed to the nerve -shattering shock of shell fire, often come out with the appearance Of ten years having been added to their life. 4 shorter period than this often suffices to turn iron gray the hair of a boy of p.
 This premature aging is peculiar to no one nationality. It is noticeably along the English and French lines and among the prisoners from Ger many, Austria and Russia. It is said to be perhaps little more pronounced along the eastern fronts where the vast amount of territory involved ire qUently makes neglect of the wounded inevitable. There men have lain for days without medical attention and when finally admitted to hospital have given their ages at 21 to 27 years when ordinarily they would have been classed as 40 to 45.
 We attribute the gray hairs now so noticeable everywhere at the front to Sub-cOnSciOus worry" said a Ca nadian army surgeon in discussing the subject with a correspondent of The Associated Press. "A man will not be conscious Of any worry at all, whereas his comrades will daily comment upon the whitening of his hair. I have never known of hair actually growing white overnight. as the novelists are so fond of putting it. but it often hap pens within the space of a week or ten days.
 "The theory of conscious worry was borne out strilingly a short time ago in the case of a surSXOn in charge of a base hospital. This hospital was miles back of the firing line and there could have been no actual worry as to personal safety or anything of that sort. The doctor could not recall any worries officially or personally, but all the time his sub conscious mind must have been worrying about the folks at home or about matters to which he gave not the slightest conscious con sideration.
 "The gray hairs come quicker to the officers than to the 'Tomr1ies, which is again a corroboration of the sub conscious theory. The strain of the fighting naturally is greater with the officer, although he may outwardly have the same joyous spirit of the man with the gun who goes over the para pet with a delighted yell when the command is given to advance. Our nurses, too, frequently, go gray without apparent reason for mostly they are women of long training amid the scenes and sufferings of hospital life

LABOR DISSATISFIED.

In connection with the advocacy of the eight hour day by President Will son under the Adamson bill, which in reality. is a bill for the increase of wages of a certain class, it is to be noted that the president of the Ma tional Federation of Postoffice Clerks wants to know why the eight hour day is not enforced in the postal ser vice.
 President F1aherty of this fedora tion describes the abuse of the post office clerks as worse under the Will son administration than ever before and to the president he writes: "The postal department officials have placed you in the untenable position of ad- vocating a principle in private ena- ployment-the eight hour day--which is not in effect in government employ ment, solely for a desire for greater postal surplus. In it's treatment of the aged service workers the present administration has been brutal, and in an effort to belittle the worth of the mail collectors a department official told the house postoffice committee that the work could be performed by a blind man or a boy.
 The postal clerks are in much the same position as the non union rail- way men representing 80 per cent of the railway employees of the country who want to know why they have been ignored both as to pay and hours in the eight hour bill which the pres tdent pushed through congress. Their position is that If there is to be legislation on the subject of compen- sation we want it to cover the whole field fairly and equitably" and there appears to be ground for their claim.

FRANK w. BOLANDE.

Bridgeport loses one of it's valuable citizens in the sudden taking away of Frank w. Bclande, president of the Post Publishing company and editor al director of the Bridgeport Post and Bridgeport Telegram. He had long been identified with the newspaper business in that city and for the longer period with the former journal in the building up of which he gave the best years of his life.
 And not only has that unf1agging zeal and effort been reflected in the strides which have been made by that paper but also is it to be found in the ser vice which he has rendered thereby to the entire community. He was a lead CT in his profession and his whole energy was devoted to labor in behalf of his ideals. He was a man of firm convictions, an earnest advocate of the his achievements is the success which he has attained in newspaper work In spite of this. however, he was never disposed to overrate his own ability or to keep it constantly at the front
 Bridgeport has reason to mourn his loss as the passing of one of it's first citizens. Newspaperdom in that city has lost valiant leader and it is probable that had he taken life and work less seriously he would have been amongst us today. As it is, he has left monument which will not quickly be effaced

reduce the high cost of living, and the first step which has been taken in that direction is in the form of recom- mending a new recipe for the staff of life.
 That the suggestions are worth try ing by the housewives for the sake of tackling something new is not to be questioned. There are many who will doubtless try the mixing of three pounds of boiled or mashed potatoes and two and a half pounds of flour in bread making and it is not improb- able that the combination will satisfy tatoes is not such as to bring about any particular fattening of the pocket book.
 Such, however, is 8 method which the people of Germany were forced to use to make up for a lack of wheat. But this country has wheat enough for its requirements. Still it is rec commended that we resort to war methods that we may continue to feed Europe and to keep up our false i'm pression regarding prosperity. We are not at war but we are paying war taxes. We are not at war but we are urged to resort to war practices. We are not at war but we are forced to pay constantly increasing prices for foodstuffs and all in spite of the fact that it was promised that there would be a lowered cost of living. Potato bread may be made but it will not be accepted very gracefully.
