 IN DEMAND FOR
 RADIO STATIONS

The navy yard at Puget Sound has sent out the following circular letter a copy of which has been re- ceived at the local radio office and which will prove interesting to those seeking employment in that branch of the government service:
 "A second radio class will be es- tablished at the Naval Militia train ing station at Seattle, at the Uni versity of Washington, for prelim- mary training of radio operators It is intended to have class of 40 men under instruction by No- vember goth. When these men have advanced sufficiently to send and re- ceive ten words Continental code per minute, they will be transferred to the Naval Radio School at the Harvard University, Cambridge Mass, for further instructions. where upon becoming qualified radio operators, they will be available for general sea duty.
 Men will be enrolled in the Ma val Reserve Force for this class and in the rating of Seaman Second Class.
 Qualifications require men to be physically sound, we'll grounded in Grammar School studies, good at writing, spelling and arithmetic and it is preferable. but not necessary. that they have rudimentary- knowledge of electricity. Previous Knowledge of radio is not required nor IS the ability to operate re- quired.
 Men desiring to enroll for this class may do so at the office of the enrolling officer, Navy Yard, Puget Sound, Bremerton, Wash. and at the Naval Recruiting Station, Port land, Oregon.

Ask each chapter sent to Division headquarters account of all such rumors and criticisms being circulated as well as statements of source from which they come
 Every criticism should be care fully investigated and if found to be justified the cause for criticism should be removed either in the Chapter or Division headquarters or 1t National headquarters. Tn all cas-
 
 as the Red Cross will bring facts to intention of interested persons. Very important that Division headquart- ers and each local chapter be made 70 understand that reputation and standing of the Red Cross locally is in hands of local officers, and in crested workers and members, and every criticism or inneudo against Red Cross should be immediately challenged and followed up The Red Cross is being run as an open book it has no secrets, it is making l sincere effort to serve mankind. md is doing it as carefully and economically as it knows how. It's accounts are to be audited by the War Department and the utmost eff 'ort is being made to give publicity 0 all the activities.

HALLOWEEN TO BRING FORTH
 WAR SPIRITS

Halloween proper falls tomorrow evening. although it will be observed tonight by the Elks in giving their annual ball. for which all details have been completed for making it a brilliant social success
 The war spirits will be called out this year. Halloween long ante dates Christianity. The two chief ancient characteristics of the cere- monies were the lighting of bonfires and the belief that of all nights of the year this was the one during which ghosts and witches were most likely to make their calls. It was q Druid belief that on the eve of this festival of Saman, Lord of Death, he called together the wicked souls that for the past 12 months had been condemned to inhabit the bod ies of animals. In Ireland the 31st of October is still known as the Vigil of Saman"
