Short Skirts and JeweIrx.

For the jeweler, one prospect Of
prosperity relieves the gloom of soar
ing prices, scarcity of material, delay
in shipments and all the ills that beset
the war-harried lapidary. In brief, If
skirts will stay shoA, it may make up
for the shortage in precious stones.
1.-The shorter the skirt the better for
u.s." said jeweler recently. And why =?
Because" replied the jeweler, "the
sale of ankle watches has been IN
creased from 80 to 70 per cent since
skirts went up" But this Is not all.
There is another article of jewelry af-
fected by brief dress. 1t is known as
the vanity band. 1t is apt to include a
purse, a powder box, mirror and per-
haps a cigarette case and a match safe.
1t is worn-well, where the boys with
long stockings wear their garters.
MANY of them worm IF the skirts
get little shorter" said the jeweler,
"you will be surprised to see how many
Of them we'll sell."-New York Times.

CODE OF THE JUNIOR POLICE
Organization Of Young Boys In New
York ls Given instruction In Civic
Duties and Good Conduct.

The junior police Of the city Of New
York Is an organization for boys be-
tween the ages Of eleven and fifteen,
who are regularly trained. drilled and
instructed In athletic sports, civic du-
ties and good conduct under competent
and responsible supervision. In the
Century Henry Rood describes Its
origin. "It occurred first to a police
captain Of the East side-Sweeney of
the Fifteenth precinct The copmls-
sioner and several civilians got to-
gether with Sweeney, and the idea was
worked out. Today the junior force
is well organized, with inspectors and
captains and other young officers, and
a growing membership that will reach
5000 and over this spring. Uniforms
are permitted, but are not insisted on /;
every junior, however, is entitled to
wear a special badge, which is never
worn on the outside Of coat or jacket.
excepting at drills or other gatherings.
Duties of, the junior police include the
use Of clean and decent language at
all times, In all places. The code con-
tinues thus:
"Never hitch on wagons or street
cars: always cross the streets at the
corners; do not build bonfires In the
streets; do not break windows or street
lamps, or deface buildings or sidewalks
with chalk; do not smoke cigarettes or
play craps; see that garbage cans are
kept covered, that garbage and ashes
and waste paper are not mixed In
cans; that cans are promptly removed
from the sidewalk after being emptied !;
that persons are requested to keep side
walks and areaways In front of their
buildings clean, and that they do not
throw refuse In the street"

THE soLpIER's STEP AND ITS
IMPORTANCE.

As soon as the young soldier has
learned how to stand correctly he must
learn how to step and to walk. II he
does not learn how to walk, he will not
know how to march. II he does not
know how to march, he Is of no more
use to a military organization than an
actual "tin soldier"
A soldier must learn how to step
that is, to walk-fC two reasons: he
must learn how best to utilize and con-
serve his muscles, and how to conform
to group movement. If he steps bad
ly, walks on his heels, has fiat feet, Is
plgeOn-toed, turns his feet too far out (;
If he is knock-kneed, bow-legged, or
handicaps the work of his members
with any unnatural position or strain,
then he will not last on the march.
He will keel over by the roadside be-
cause his muscles cannot stand the ad-
ditional and unnecessary tasks put
upon them.
All a soldiers work is figured on a
basis Of the normal mans capacity.
The normal mans capacity Is likewise
figured on the possibilities Of the nat
ural-and nOrmal-use of the muscles.
1t is not founded upon the subnOrmal
or abnormal use of the muscles. The
readlest way to fit oneself to become
soldier, therefore, is to teach the mus
cles to function correctly. The ma
chinery of the body will then be fitted
to the product required Of 1t.
The normal step of the soldier Is
thirty inches. That fact must be kept
in the mind until 1t grows there. Prac-
tice in marching will extend the step
Of some to that length and reduce that
of others. If this Standardization did
not take place-did not become habit
the step of the long-legged soldiers
would invariably walk away from the
short-legged soldiers and pull the
whole line out of shape. This is what
always takes place with green troops.
The tall men strike out at a swing
which keeps the short man on trOt.
And not only is the united-endurance
reduced according to the proportion of
short men In the company, but the tall
men cannot hold out with their equip
ment to nearly the same extent that
they could if they adopted the COM
pany stride. Uniform motion is con-
tagious, and the stimulus impaired to
all helps to carry those for whom the

Baby's First Breath.

To save the lives of great number
Of newborn infants who now die of
suffocation or strangulation before
their lungs assume their natural func-
lions, science has devised an apparatus
that makes the babies first breath pos
sible.
1t is similar in principle to the pull

Mrs. E. D. Mcbride, accompanied
by Mesdames Chas. Parker and An
drew Erdahl and Miss Catherine Fer
guson, took her guest, Mrs. Glen
Hulett of Emerson as far north AS
Killdeer on Tuesday. While at tho
north terminal the Dickinson ladies
were given dance in the AUDITORIUM
and also dinner party at the Norred
hotel. They returned late Thursday
afternoon.
The Ell Diablo boys have the coziest
Of club rooms fixed up in the second
floor of the armory. A rug, pen
nants and pictures give the room a
home-like appearance, and the furni-
ture was all selected with the thought
OF comfort uppermost. Lawton
Osborn and Howard Gruschus are
among the newest members. The
boys meet every other Thursday even
ing, but each has access to the roor,
at any time. In return for the use
of the room, the boys have to care for
the armory.
A big patriotic meeting will take
place in the basement of the new St.
Paul and Peters church at New
Hradec on Thanksgiving day. There
will be speakers in both English and
Bohemian at the occasion and the
ladies will serve meals. Father 8.
Tomanek is the parish priest and VIC

Years, facilities being arranged to
also board pupils from distance.

NEW SERIAL AT RAY

Be sure to start the new serial
"Who Is Number Done ?" at the Ray
theatre next Saturday. It is one of
Anna Katherine Green's mystery
stories and is featuring Kathleen Cliff
ford, that reckless actress who does
daredevil exploits all through the run
of the story. The highest develop
ment of the filming art is brought
into play in this picture and the story
is one that keeps the excitement at
fever heat. Mr.. Davis will present an
unusually clever vehicle Monday and
Tuesday next, featuring the beauty Of
Little American" The story is es-
pecial timely theme; bringing home
most effectively, conditions involving
the present great war. There is a
particular patriotic appeal to the Art
crafts picture and many stirring Incl
dents relate to the war across the
seas. Be certain to start the serial
Saturday and don't overlook Mary
next Monday and Tuesday.

Auxiliary Elects
Company Officers

The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Loy-
atty League held a meeting at the
armory Tuesday night and, in addition
to drills, elected officers for the or
ganization. An entrance fee of Is
cents was agreed upon and failure to
attend drills will be penalizeJ to the
extent of Is cents per. Eighty men,
bers took part in the drilling which
lasted for one and one-half hours
Though tired, the girls would make no
admissions to that effect: however,
it was noted that during the business
meeting, many sat right down on the
floor. The membership in the Home
Guard has increased 100 per cent
while after but two meetings by the
girls, the membership has increas sed
rs per cent. The following were elect
ed officers: Stasia McKeever, cap
tain; Myrtle Parker, 1st lieutenant;
Dorothy Gobler, End lieutenant; Mrs.
u. A. Cutnaw, sergeant and secretary;
A"nes Moe, quartermaster and treas
urer. The auxiliary will meet once
each week and any able bodied female
over the age of fourteen and of good
moral character, is eligible to join
The members have taken an oath as
did the male members of the League
and are ready to do all in their power
to instill patriotism and loyalty.
Every member of the League should
make it a personal duty to solicit
membership until nearly every one IN
this city is Lacquer. The following
ladies have joined the League since
our last issue: Marguerite Lish,
Emma Kostelecky, Mabel Swanson,
Mrs. j. Littlehales, Mrs. F. Reece,

Blue and Mr.. Duling were rendered in
true histrionic manner expression ad-
ding greatly to subjects. Esther Len
neville's recitation was well handled
without the academic stiffness COM
mon to this class of delivery. "The
Foolish Little Maid' by five pretty
little girls scored a decided hit. DR..
Anderson's Costermonger song was a
Chevalier-like effort and he handled
his aspirates and dispensed with them
la the coster, himself. If you can
find an Ethiopic act that will surpass
the coon absurdity by Mr.. and Mrs.
Mohr, trot it along-there amt M
such animile. There was near-perfec-
tion in this act and any booking agent
in the country would stake on this
team at the first rehearsal. The
"Sympathy Orchestra" was a great
effort, a freakish musical conceit that
brought surprises and amusement.
This act required much stimulation in
both instruments and voices. The
audience had it's first opportunity to
see representatives of the auxiliary
drill team in action. Two squads,
commanded by Major Osborn, gave a
series of maneuvers and as an encore,
returned in dominoes and masks.
The entire assemblage joined in a
rendering of my Country 'Tis OF
Thee" That is, they carried the tune
fairly well but as for the words
well, there was some mumbling. The
"eats" were a pleasing close to a
mighty fine entertainment.
The male quartet did not take part
owing to the absence from the city Of
Mr.. Pippin. Ferdinand Massarek and
Elliot Freeman obliged with musical
numbers. The gate receipts were
$95.95, the expenses for the affair
lowering that amount about ten dol
lars. This will go into the church

the entertainment goes to Miss Rapp

One likes to be looked after closely
and guarded against overtaxing ones
voice in talking over the phone, but
it is little provoking for the opera
tor to cut in every few seconds with
Operator" when time is precious to
you and you are doing your possible
to get through, and especially is it
provoking for the operator to decide,
right in the middle of your CONVEX
sation, that you have talked long
enough and cut you off. We are not
blaming the operators. No doubt
those interruptions are necessary with
the out-of-date sausage grinder
phones in use here, for no doubt peo-
pie often forget to ring off when they
are through. But it is aggravating
just the same. Would it not be prac-
ticable for the manager Of the local
office to issue general order to the
effect that when connection is made
it is to be assumed that those who
are talking know enough to know
when they are through and will then
hang up and ring off, and that nc
one is to be interrupted with calls Of
Operator" and no one is to be cut
off until he or she rings off,? II
would be a blessed relief.
