WAR EXPANDS BUREAU SKILLED MEN NEEDED
Uncle Sam EnIistS Aid of Voca-
tionaI Schools of Country.
Training Of Mechanics and High Grade
Helpers Held Important Step In
National Preparation.

Training skilled mechanics and high
grade helpers is the next step in ma
tional preparation, according to Uncle
Sans department of the interior,
which has sent broadcast, through the
bureau of education, an appeal to trade
schools with shop-work departments,
to prepare to meet the demands that
will come for semitechnical workers In
the metal trades and other Industries.
President Wilson, Secretary of Com
merce Redfleld and other government
officials are also vigorously behind the
effort to enlist vocational schools and
classes everywhere in the establish
ment of this second line of industrial
defense.
ut is impossible" says the depart
ment's statement. ito forecast def
nitely the numbers of mechanics and
operatives of various kinds that will
be required. officers of the army,
navy, and civil service commission are
agreed, however, that there will be an
unusual demand for capable foremen,
mechanics, bakers, blacksmiths, boat
builders, chauffeurs, cooks, craftsmen
electricians, engineers (steam3, en-
gineers (gas), machinlsts, motorcycle
mechanics, painters, pipeftters, riN ct
ers, saddlers, shipfitters, shlpwrigiIts,
tent-makers, textile workers, wheel
wrights, stenographers, typewriters.
1t is pointed out that the demands
for these workers will come from the
regular enlisted corps of the army and
navy, from the enlisted reserve corps
of the army and navy, from the eligl-
BILE registers of the civil service COM
mission and from private employers
whose workers are called into govern.
ment service. After the war there
will also be q continued demand for
similar workers in the reorganization
and rehabilitation OF industry.
Maintaining school throughout the
summer months, encouraging students
between sixteen and twenty years Of
age now already enrolled TO continue
their training, and discouraging pre-
mature entrance into industry, are
urged as necessary. The bureau
warns particularly against any relax
| alton of standards, pointing out that
| half-baked mechanics will ID the end
inevitably impair the efficiency of any
branch of the service. young persons
now enrolled ia technical courses
should be urged to continue their
courses, even at the cost of some tenn
porary sacrifice, If necessary, in order
that they may ultimately contribute
the maximum of service when need
ed" say bureau officials.
There are over 500 special schools
available for service of the kind indi-
Gated now on the lists Of the bureau
of education, according to the depart
ment's statement, and these schools
have been asked to notify the commits
sioner of education at once as to the
plans that will be adopted for carrying
out the suggestions of the govern
ment.

TELLS HORRORS OF AUSTRIAN CAMPS

course, as the starvation diet had
weakened u.s. We were divided into
four sections of $50 men each and sent
to different localities. My section was
sent to Komen under the command OF
an Austrian sub-lieutenant and 30 ter
ritorfals. We worked at building a rail-
way together with 1000 Russian pris-
oners.
sour food was worse and less than
that we had in camp, as we got cents
day pay and were supposed to spend
it on food, although bread cost dol
lar loaf. AS we were ravenously
hungry because we had TO work hard
we were compelled to rummage among
the garbage for food and even ate
rats and mice. We also got bones, hui
man bones they were sometimes, which
we boiled to make soup. In % days
90 men out of the $50 in my section
died from hunger. exhaustion and ex-
posture. Five men committed suicide,
three attempted to escape and were
shot.
ION January % my comrade, Niku
Crstia, and l decided TO escape. We
walked for three days in the direc-
ton of the italian lines with nothing
to eat, but we finally reached the ruins
of village where we found pigsty.
We took shelter here and found some
potato Feelings and turnlps, which we
ate.

ssThe cold was intense. We reached
another village completely in ruins and
we could hear the Italian guns very
near. We could not find anything to
eat end my comrade was more dead
than alive. We slept during the day
and when night came on 1 tried TO
arouse my comrade hut he was dead.
"Just then I distinctly heard the

the wire entanglements and crawl over

CUT OUT GLOOM WHEN
YOU WRITE TO SAILORS

Chicago.-"There's a vacant
chair at the table, George, and
we need your strong, broad
shoulders"
If you have a boy In the navy
eliminate such phrases from
your next letter. Don't write
them. They are dumdums to
the jackies, says the Great
Lakes Recruit, the monthly mag
azine published by the officers
and tackles of the naval training
station at Great Lakes, Ill. In
the August issue of the Recruit
a campaign on "what to write
your sailor" leads the editorial
department.
The editorial says that fully
so per cent of the letters re-
|, ceived by the sailors convey, In
stead of good cheer, a tale OF
woes and imaginary griefs, as:
"NIother's sick. Little john
ny's down with the measles, and

Export Licenses Controlled by
Department of Commerce.
Worn Is Largely In Hands Of Praeti-
cal BuAlness Men Who Have Vol
uhteered Their Services.

WnF conditions, as was &c be ex-
pect.d, have made many changes in
the various departments Of Uncle
Ss.n's government, contracting some
and expanding to almost double their
size others.
One of the most interesting expan-
slons has been that Of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, de-
partment of commerce, which is now
Gathering the newly organized division
OF export licenses. This division Is to
have control of the exports of the
United States to see, If such thing is
possible, that none of our foodstuffs
or other materials reach the 'enemy"
through neutral countries.
AS the matter stands at this time
any manufacturer Oh firm wishing to
export commodity makes application
to this new division for an export IL
crease and 1t Is granted or refused ac-
cording to the circumstances. The d.
vision Is strictly wartime organiza-
ton formed by the department of
commerce to carry out the policies of
the exports council and to handle all
applications for export licenses.
The division of export licenses is
now equipped to hnnd.e all applica-
lions under the presideat's recent en-
barge proclamation and to issue them
promptly so as to interfere with the
export trade of the country as little
as possible.
Applications are being passed upon,
first, as regards the quantity which
the exports council has decided may
be permitted to leave the country ;
second, as regards the amount which
It is deemed wise by the council to
permit to go to the country specified
in the application.
If the amount of the commodity ap-
piled for, and the country, are salts
factory, the division of export licenses
will then pass upon the character of
the consignee, satisfying itself that
the consisnee Is not likely to permit
the goods to fail into the hands of or
otherwise to benefit the enemy.

The patriotism of American export

ways recently that officials Of the de-
partment of commerce feel assured
that they can count upon the loyal CO
operation of manufacturers and mer

Of the division, however, have called
the attention of exporters to the fact
that the issuing of a license does not

utmost precaution to ascertain the

TWO KINDS OF TWINS

There are two kinds of twins. iden- tical twins and fraternal twins, ac- cording to Dr. Frederick Adams Woods of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, who spoke before the eugenics committee of the American Genetic association at Columbia university Tn connection with the congress of sci entists.
 Dr Woods subject was Significant Evidence of Mental Heredity," and he said that any discussion of it must aim at unraveling the part taken by hered- ity as opposed to external forces of nature environment, and d possible in ternal force, free will
 The true or identical twins the speaker said, "are developed from a single cell, which at some early stage divided tJ form two individual beings. These identical or duplicate twins have q nearly though never absolutely iden- tical heredity.
 Fortunately for our knowledge of heredity, if often happens that broth CTS and sisters are born at the same time who are called twins, but are in different category from true twins These are known as fraternal twins As far as we can see, home is no more identical than for the fraternal twins
