Has Caused Great Uneasiness Among
London Hair Dressers.

London, Dec. 2S.-The defense OF the
realm act, which has been nicknamed
Dora, has come in for more abuse from
hair dressers owing to an embargo put
on the use OF spirits for general use
This measure has become necessary in
consequence OF the enormously increased
demand for munition and Red Cross
needs.
Dry shampoos and hair lotions are all
threatened by the latest order OF Dora. =
and as the use of methylated spirit for
burning purposes is also forbidden,
thousands Of forced draught oilstoves

YOUNG MEN ARE URGED
TO APPLY FOR ENTRANCE
TO CAMPS OF RESERVE

"It has been the experience in the
armies of Europe that men between
the ages of rs and IS years make the
best officers. Men of these ages, with
a certain amount of business expert
ence, ar: what we want for the Sec
ond officers training camps, which
open August 27."
This is the statement made by the
examining officer of this district, who
is now considering applications for
the new training camp.
"From the way in which applica-
lions are coming in, it is evident that
many younger fellows have miscon-
strued the governments circulai
which stated that men over 81 would
be given preference in the new train
ing camp. While it is very true that
older men r wanted, this should dis
courage no one of rs years of age,
and even younger, from putting in his
request for admission. A mans
chances for being accepted r great
er if he is over 26 or 28-but there
will be a large number of the 25-
year class wearing the khaki as Of
ficers.
"It seems that many who have
asked for applications for the new
camp are still holding them. In the
case of the younger men, this is a big
mistake. The sooner their names are
ON file, the more chance they have Of

MORE DAMPHOOLIA.

Adam Bede struck a ringing note
in his ~Chautauqua lecture here, when
he decried the practice of discon-
tinuing teaching of German in u
schools simply because we are at
war with the kaiser. No matter how
soundly the Teutons are whipped, even
if Germany should sink to the level
of a second-rate power after the war,
German is not likely to become a
dead language for some days to ONE
Today there is no language which
an American can study with greater
hope of it being OF vast benefit than
Spanish. Yet Spain has been crumb-
ling for centuries, and after the
war Of '98 was considered by Ameri-
cans as about ready for the embalmer.
Despite this, the Spanish language is
yet very much alive. Any American
can put his knowledge of Spanish to
good and practical use in the years
to come, especially if he ever goes
to South America, where a vast field
for American products is being
opened. There will be a demand for
with knowledge of the
Spanish tongue which will far exceed
the supply, within the next decade.
Disseminating study of any modern
language is almost as sensible a
procedure as blowing up railway
beauty spots about stations when
thousands of acres along the right-of-
way remain untitled.

THE TEST.

War is transient-the United States
of America is permanent. Still OF
necessity, the war dominates every
thing at this time. In the words of
President Wilson, "The supreme test
of the nation has come. We must all
speak, act and serve together"
There is no patience for the "slacker"
anywhere. The demands on the
United States will be tremendous.
Right now the man who allows fear
to paralyze the hand with which he
writes checks is just as dangerous to
his country as the deliberate crank
who throws a bomb. Money is just
like a man-if it is inactive it is
useless. Let's not forget to keep u
money producing. No matter what
comes-don't be a Business Stacker.
"America is at war. It is a big
war-a very big war. It may be a
long war. And when we try to
imagine what may happen no one
can blame US for looking serious.
"We will encounter big problems,
but American ingenuity and inventive
genius is equal to any emergency.
Gwen if America desired hard
times, the world would refuse her the
wish. We have been conscripted as
the worlds kitchen, the worlds ship
| yard, the worlds bank-the worlds

"If you are a merchant, every Gus
toner on your books will get a piece
of it. If you are a manufacturer or
mechanic, you yourself will get your
part of it. If you are a farmer, you
will reap the greatest benefit of all.
"America's wealth is about to be re-
distributed and put in the hands of
our ~people-not in the hands of the
boarding few.
"Meanwhile, remember that the
man who allows fear to paralyze the
hand with which he writes checks is
as dangerous to his country as the
deliberate crank who throws a bomb.

application is from the manager Of a
