Golf LIMO Made Clear,

Henry's father was a golf enthusl-
asst; therefore Henry knew all about
the game. One time he asked:
"Henry, why is 1t that men who play
golf always yell fore instead of look
out or sane such thing?"
Henry thought for second time be-
fore an inspiration came from looking
at his young sister, who was diligently
getting her arithmetic.
"You see" he replied, at takes too
long to yell 'toot-toot,' and that sounds
so much like 'two-two that they just
add them together and yell -four. -

No Servant Problem Here.

An article in the Woman's Home
Companion says that 80 per cent of
the women in this country do all their
own work, and the writer adds that her
particular domestic problem has been
solved by a scientifically planned and
pretty kitchen that serves as a dining
room also. Numerous devices and in
nOvations have been contrived by her
that make this room artistic and at
tractive as well as useful.
1--WE think that for us we have elm
mated the servant problem" she de-
clares," for to my mind, If ones life
can be so planned that daily wants are
reduced to the minimum, and efficient
agencies by which to supply those
wants raised to the maximum the en-
tire problem has been met and solved"

GUARD CHARTS FROM ENEMY
Employees Of Hydrographic Office
Work at Top Speed in Turning Out
Maps for Naval Officials.

Employees of the photographic Of
hce in Washington are being driven at
top speed IN turning out maps and
charts for the benefit of the naval Of
ficials. Special attention is being given
to the charts of harbors which have
been mined. Each chart that Is pre-
pared shows the exact location of the
mines. All told, there are some 1900
charts on which the Office has been at
work since the severing of diplomatic
relations with Germany. 1t has been
found necessary to make minor
changes in many of the original charts
In the files of the office.
Every precaution is being taken to
prevent the charts from falling into
the hands of German agents or sym-
pathizers. The printers are required
to account for every sheet of paper
they use. If there is slight in ac-
curacy in the printing the damaged
sheet is destroyed. The printer, with
an official of the department as wit
ness, goes to the engine room and
throws the damaged sheet into the
IRE.

Camounaae.

A remarkable Interpretation of the
British national characteristic, reserve
appears in the Century, entitled
Camouaage. It is the story Of two
young people on the eve of the hus-
bands going to battle.
"FOr the benefit of those who may
not be acquainted with what camou-
fiage means, it might be truthfully de-
scribed as thin veil drawn over great
events.
"There are endless varieties of
camoufage, and endless uses to which
it may be put. A great white road is
concealed from the enemy's lines by
a hedge Of thinly plated twigs-camou-
fiage. An observation point hidden in
the heart Of haystack-camoufiage.
A mighty gun masked by an awning
of fiShermen's nets, sprinkled with
dead leaves--camouflage. A corpse
brought in from nO-man's land and re-
placed by a live man, who watches
what is toward in the Hun trenches
again camOuflage. But, perhaps, the
subtlest variety of all is the kind that
men and women devise to screen their
real emotions from one another and the
world"

The latest animal story from the
trenches has charm all its own. "As

from the front, II was arrested by a
visible upheaval of the ground. 1t was
a mole at work, and as l watched it
a battery of 60-pounders let off Salvo.
The mole continued It's labors, un-
moved and unconcerned." Your sol
dier, quite clearly, is not your only sap.

Dry Clause Drastic.
The prohibition provision is exceed
ingly drastic. The president is au-
thOrized to make regulations govern
ing the prohibition Of alcoholic liquors
"in or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but it will be Illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
intoxicating or spirituOus liquors at
any military station, cantOnment,
camp, fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
1t will be unlawful for anyone to
sell intoxicating liquor, including
beer, to any officer or member of the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention of the setting up of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
of congress the president is author
lied to call II 100000 men to the colors
is expected to have great moral eff
feet in Germany. It is quite true that
the entire force he can commander
at this time will number two and
quarter million. But even this num-
Der would constitute a reinforcement
which British and French officers say
would assure victory If employed in

Could Relieve British.
England to date has raised some
100000 men. With the exception Of a
couple Of million these men are at
the front in France, Belgium, Egypt,

What the president and Secretary
Baker desire first and above all is to
train the officers and men. When they
are ready to fight the drilled troops Of
Germany, then probably they will be
sent abroad, and not before.
But Germany doubtless will watch |
with increasing anxiety the prepared |
ness Of the American people and will |
realize that peace will be most desir-
able and necessary, before they are
ready for service in France.

Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-One to thirty years old, inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But In order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country If they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance of Volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
! forty years.
The gigantic number of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
eSsary to fill up the regular army, the
National Guard and the conscription
force of 100000 men.
2,001 900 Armed Men.
It is estimated by the war depart
ment that as result of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,0O1, 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
100000 men, 10000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength of the regular
army is about 10000 men. 1t has
now about $4,000 men and is short
about $4,000. The National Guard
has war strength of 625, 900 men. 1t
has now about 125,OO0 and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655, 900
men to fill up gaps In the regular army
and National Guard and in addition
100000 as the first quota of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft 1T is possible about
,155,000 men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi-
ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for /
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel win do now that
his pet project is incapable of realiza-
ion is a question. 1t is generally un-
lerstood that President Wilson is alb
;olutely opposed to the idea of a vol
inteer organization under command of
he colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and nom
officers was agreed upon
IS follows:
Men now receiving less than S21
'er month are increased to $31 per
lOnth; those who received $24 are
increased to $50; men who receive $50,
80 or $40 are increased So each men
Tho receive $45 are increased to $50.
