Lodge of Perfection.

Need OF a new Scottish Rite Temple
for Washington lodges was urged be-
fore the Mithras Lodge of Perfec-
tion at its last meeting by Grand Com
mander George Fleming Moore.
A principal topic OF discussion was
the proper location of the building
Commander Moore said the present
quarters at Third and Z streets are
too small. and that a more centre
location should be chosen for the
proposed temple.
1t is now planned to have this tenn
Pile include clubrooms. and to make
II commodious enough to meet every
need of the Scottish Rite Masons here
for many years to come.
A committee was named to do the

Youth Makes Years Service and Regular Liv-

THE physical condition Of the young
men OF the United States makes one

This Is the statement Of Capt George
L. Converse, u. s. A.. retired. COM

sorry military training. to be introduced
at the next session OF Congress. The
measure y being prepared under super
and Senator Chamberlain. chairman of
the Senate Military Affairs Committee.
Statement Is Significant.
Captain Converse's statement Is OF
special significance because of his
treatment Of the much discussed point
of the age at which training should be
begun u, and the length Of time required
1.-THE physical condition of our young
men as shown by examination of ma
tional guardsmen makes one year OF
military training and regular living q
necessity on the basis OF health alone,
The political pressure exerted by ma
tional guardsmen In this mobilization
when any question was decided by the
War Department. adverse to their
wishes, demonstrates another fatal
weakness in that organization. Let us
have universal military service-thei-
zens being divided into classes to be
called into active service when neces-
sary.
Says Twenty Is Best Age.
my Judgment on the points under dis
cussion is that twenty years of age
would probably produce better results
In the case of the average boy. than
The Washington times., 1916-10-20

eighteen. II the material to be consid-
cred was all university material I would
agree that eighteen was better.
Many boys are slow In developing
the average country boy is slow In de-
veloping, and tho average boy without
more than grade school work Is hardly
in condition mentally to get what he
should get out OF military work. An
other thing, the average father holds his
boy until he Is twenty-one II he can
do so. He would therefore be better
pleased to have his son leave at twenty
than at eighteen. because In the latter
case he would probably never be con-
tent to return to the family to work as
one of them without compensation.
Urges One Year of Service.
II would urge strongly one year OF
service. The physical condition OF
most of our young men Is such that
the first three months Of service
would be taken in building them up
physically and getting them In trim
for field work and carrying a pack
This could be done in winter as well
as summer, and so utilize all army
posts all over the United tSates. II
the shorter term Is determined upon

be in the South in order ITO have the
training period at the time OF the
year when II will interfere least with
crops and work. The expense Of
transportation In that event would
be enormous.

gymnasium-shortm marches and guard
duty about the post. March and
April would harden him to longer
marches and carrying pack, and ther
give the summer to all kinds OF field

NOVEMBER WHEAT AT
NEW HIGH RECORD
No. 2 Red Jumps to $l.7O IL in
Baltimore Dealings.

BALTIMORE. Oct. 0.-wheat made
another new high record on its present
upward movement In the dealings at the
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday, when
sales OF No 2 red for November de-
livery were reported at s1.7Oli a bushel.
This Is perhaps the highest price here
OF the last sixteen years. but the tone
Of the market indicates that the top may
not yet have been reached. The close
was strong. with spot wheat bid for
at $l6911. The offerings were not large
even at this advance. though some OF
the buyers were constantly in the
market for supplies
Corn also maintained Its record figure
and was bid for yesterday in this mar
ket at 81 bushel. with further trans
actions made at this price. Like wheat,
the offerings Of corn were somewhat
limited and the high price has failed to
bring any excess OF supply on the
market.
