an advertisement in the Gazette Of

advertisement was located in the

certain class of people, no one reaas
the advertisements. But at five
o'clock the next morning Saturday
Susie Nowland, little girl, was at:
Mr.. Baggett's place of business with
her answer. Later on others brought

Course to Train Men for Signal Corps
of Army to BE Given by College
of Engineering

a call has been issued by the war
department that the technical school
train $1,000 men for the signal
corps. These men are to be trained
in the international wireless code,
and given a large amount of prac-
tise in sending and receiving so that
20 words a minute sent and received
may be the speed rate attained. The
code to be fought is used throughout
the signal corps in wireless, wig-Wag
and buZZer signaling, and a large
number of men can be used in this
branch of service.
1t is planned to start classes in
this work at the State College Janu-
airy 2. and if the desired quota is to
be finished a class of from SO to
100 men should be enrolled. 1t is
desired by the government that only
men liable to CONSUMPTION, or who ex-
pect to volunteer shall be trained and
further that provision be made for
completing this training as early as
possible.
No definite schedule has as yet
been prepared. but the plan is to
divide the class into sections so that
any student may put in as much time
as his other work will permit and in
this way the maximum service may
5gin oil hT
made for the enrolment of persons
who are now students, or not en-
rolled otherwise in college. AL
though a great portion of the time
will be devoted to mastering the code
and developing speed, sufficient class
instruction will be given to cover the
practical details of wireless teleg-
raphy apparatus and its operation,

FOOD ADMINISTRATION ISSUES
NEW KITCHEN CARD

sugar ration of three pounds for
each person month, a porkless day
and one wheatless and two meatless
meals a day will be recommended to
householders in new kitchen card
soon to be put out by the national
feed administration at Washington.
d. G.
The cards will caution against
boarding food stuffs in homes, point
ing out that the practice not only is
selfish, but that it contributes to
high prices and defeats the purposes
of the food administration in seeking
an equitable distribution.
The reverse side of the card car
ries a message to householders.
The food situation in Europe" it
says, lis far grayer than when the
preliminary survey of the food sup
ply of the world for this year was
made. We have an abundance for
ourselves. and it is the policy of the
food administration. by the preven-
ton of exports, to retain for our peo-
pie an ample supply of every essen
tial food stuff. The harYests of our
allies have proved less than we had
contemplated, and the great curtail-
ment of shipping by the submarines
during the last few months has
further prevented them from access
10 remote markets.
Every particle of dim inished con-
sumption by the American people is
one particle more for our soldiers,
men. women, and children of our al
lies and for the starving people in
other countries. This is a personal
Obligation upon every one Of us to-
wards some individual aboard, who
will suffer privation to the extent OF
our own negligence.
IF we are to reduce the consump-
ton of the few products which we
should export abroad we will need to
eat a larger proportion of many diff
ferent food stuffs which we can not
export. We must not waste any food
stuffs. In this emergency only the
simplest of living is patriotic. -

In speaking of her ability, he
Matin of Paris says: Miss Kennel
is a great singer who possesses a
lyric soprano voice without rival.
This eminent artist seems to be en-

and sympathy, which one rarely
meets among our great artists. As
lyric singer Miss Kennel has a
brilliant career before her"
