charge of these organizations OF boys
have been provided with special In
structions as to the service that may
safely be demanded. A good deal OF
discretion in this regard is left to COM
handing officers and drill masters, but
after all the purpose is to equip the
national youth for soldierly service as
rapidly and efficiently as possible.
Much lighter requirements, however,
are imposed on the youngest class OF
prospective soldiers. They are given
graduated instruction in various drills
for the purpose Of hardening their
physiques. Games, lectures and educa-
tional work are provided in addition
to ordinary military training.
There are twelve fortnightly periods
in the training course for youth Of this
class. In the first period of two weeks
Ga hours of work are required, OF
which u hours are given to games and
educational work. After the first pc
Rod IA hours are set aside, in each
fortnightly period for these purposes.
Such games as cricket, football and
boxing are particularly priced for their
effect on the physique Of the recruit.
Participation in these is compulsory.
At the outset every young man IS
inoculated, vaccinated and given a
thorough dental overhauling. This
limits the possible activities Of many

their training. After these preliminary
troubles are over, the organizations
settle into regular scheme involving
81 hours work per fortnight, or six
hours work daily, including Sunday.

minor casualties, trench warfare, con-
cealment and cooperation Of infantry

The Importance of the educational
course must not be underestimate. A
good many boys with extremely rudi-
mentary schooling are taken into these
organizations. Those who need 1t are
given the most elementary educational
opportunity, while the more advanced
ones are provided instruction in SUBJ
jects most likely to be Of military
utility.
During the first four weeks of the
course route. marching with kits is for

 At the height of her stage career Miss Frederick deserted the stage for the screen where she first appeared in the Famous Players presentation of "The Eternal City" From the be- ginning she became one of the biggest drawing cards for Paramount.

LYRIC

Tn connection with the production of ..Rich Man, Poor Man at the Lyric this week, the following Remarkable letter was received Friday night at tbe theatre by Manager Arvine:
 From the accounts of what I have read of Rich Man, Poor Man l am led to believe that it may solve a problem that has worried me for more ahan a year and a half. l am a young girl of independent means, and l pride myself that I am at least the average in beauty. don't think I'm fattering myself, either.
 TT imagine you can guess the prob lem I speak of. One of my friends is good Joking, popular fellow who holds pretty good job in the Singer company. The, other mans name is well known to readers of the news papers. He is 41 years old and he has more money than he can posstoly spend. Both of thsm have been at- tentive and devoted, I have been dis tressed trying to solve this question. First the young men seems to, gain { the upper hand. We are both young and could live our lives together. But could our love endure in comparative poverty? I don't know. At times l f times my reason tells Nme that it would be fool hardy. We could live simply, but I realize that we would be poor, to put it truthfully..
 with the older man it is differ ent would never want for any thing money could buy-but know only too well that there are things in this world, and the greatest things of all. that cannot be purchased. So l fear that our love would speedily cool, although reason again tells me me that to refuse him would be depriv- ing myself of a life. of comfort and ease" s tN
 This remarkable letter has inspired MT. Arvine to offer a s10 gold piece to the Bridgeport girl who sends in the best letter on this subject of poor men versus rich man. This contest will be open to everyone all this week
