 On going up to the Big Cinema al ter his dogs, which he had left with Ed Jern, he found Jern gone. and started out after him. He finally caught him and both men started for Boulder creek, where Jern's cabin was located. On reaching the ridge above the creek Magnusson became tired out. and Jern went on ahead to get things ready at the cabin. when Magnusson started to follow Jern he became tangled in his bear ings and went down the wrong draw. It soon grew dark, and the lost man was afraid to stop trayeling. hop -ng all the time to reach the cabin. He stayed down in the timber all the time, as he knew he could not live for any time on the wind-swept ridge. It was showing hard, and Magnus- son could not back-track, so he just kept on going.
 He was lost for five days in this manner. wandering back and forth. until the fifth day he saw tree he recognized and finally got on the right track to the cabin, reaching it in safety. For the last four nights he was out the old man had fire He had only a few matches. and was hard put to stretch them out long enough to build fire every nigh, to keep from freezing. He had ab, solutely no food the whole time he was lost, and was forced to siwasA it every night.
 When interviewed last evening Mi Magnusson did not appear to have suffered severely from the effects of his exposure. His hands had be- come numb while he was wandering around and had been slightly frost bitten on the way to Fairbanks, but aside from that he seemed to be all right.

 to stay until the work is done, in order that the whole world may view
 the pristine beauties of the woods. The eight miles was completed in two sections. The first section is three and a half miles between the mouth of Piute creek to the mouth of Evolution creek. It runs along the south fork of the San Joaquin river through d region of amazing beauty. At a point on this stretch stone cribs for a bridge with a sixtyeight foot span across the river were construct ed second bridge was begun above the mouth of Evolution creek. These

He thought of the thousands of French babies that could be fed with the money wasted on dress. particularly in our from tier town where plain, inexpensive gowns and neat business suits would be appropriate, is the waste apparent And he thought if the American people would Hooverize in clothing alone. cut out extrav2sant modes and use the money saved in caring for the homeless and starv- ing children, what wave of happi- ness would sweep over battle-scarred and heart-seared Europe, and the ripple of happiness started in oul own lives would become a tidal wave when the final returns were in.

.tNGlANO'S EXPERIENCE

Mobilization of Industrial Volunteers
for National Service to Be
Pressed.
BRITAIN's GREAT SUCCESS
Secured 1874. 900 I'm Three Months Who
Were Willing to 60 Anywhere Gov
eminent Might Wish.

The council of defense, which has
undertaken Eirginia's share in the or
ganization Of the United States pub
lie service reserve. has been informed
that England has offered 10 assist the
United States in the organization of
its volunteer industrial forces. The
department OF labor sent out word
yesterday that r. II. Butterworth, d.
rector OF the trades section of the
national service. which succeeded in
three months in enrolling 344, 900 vol
unteers willing to go wherever called
for by the British government. would
come to this country. II desired. TO
this government. ...
Many of the methods which have
resulted in the mobilization of such
an army of volunteer laborers in Great
Britain, may be used to advanta sc
by the United States public service
reserve in gathering men of all trades
occupations and positions, whose ser
vices may be needed by their coun-
try during the war emergency period
Not only could Mr.. Butterworth show
officials here ways which have been
found helpful in Great Britain. uur
he could probably point out some of
the paths which, in their experience.
should be avoided.
A complete set of all the literature
used BY the British national service
in the campaign for volunteer work
ers in the various trades and occu-
pations, was received at the offices
of the United States pubic service
reserve IN Washington yesterday. This
included a set of striking posters
which were spread broadcast over the
British Isles. all the forms and blanks
distributed to applicants. as well as
number of pamphlets which were
widely circulated TO arouse all work
ers TO the fact that their country
needed their services somewhere.
In organizing its volunteer labor
service the United States had the ad
vantage of Great Britain in several
respects. according to the officials OF
the United States reserve. Most i'm
portant is the fact that this countr,
has started immediately after its en-
trance into the war. whereas England
waited two years before organizing
the national service. II Great Britain
was able in three months to enroll
$4,000 volunteers after waiting sc
long, the United States should be able
to enroll an equally large number In
the next few months. That such will
prove TO be the case would appear
from the fact that in the short time
the United States public service re.
serve has been in operation thousan h
Of applications for membership have
been received from all parts of the
country.
According to the council OF defense
the number OF volunteers from vir.
ginia up to August l was 129.
