Aid to Land and Naval Forces
Must Come Through Red Cross

There is but one society authorized
by the government to render aid to its
land and naval forces in time Of war
This privilege belongs to the American
Red Cross, and any other body desir-
ing TO render similar assistance must
do so through its organization.
Anybody desiring TO aid the Red
Cross is advised, as a first step. TO
become a member by payment of the
annual membership fee Of one dollar.
The various groups in which men may
serve arc classified as base hospital
units, units for the navy, ambulance
companies and sanitary detachmen,s.
After describing the personnel of
these divisions the official booklet con
tinues:
"For information concerning service
in the groups described above address
Bureau Of Medical Service, American
Rcd Cross. Washington, d. c.
"The hospital units. ambulance com
panies and sanitary dctachments need
supplies. such as surgical dressings,
garments and hospital supplies. for all
OF which chapters and individuals are
urged 10 assume the responsibility.
Money, rooms fer the use of workers,
aud storage space are also needed.
Those who stay a. home may help in
these ways. Information will be fur
nished by American Red Cross, Bureau
Of Supplies, Washington, d. C., or |
Madison Avenue, New York City"

War Gives an Unparalleled
Opportunity to Learn Flying

For the man who desires to learn
aviation the war offers opportunities
that never before existed-and may
never again. There is no one branch
of the service for aviation, but there
are several sections for fiers under the
Signal Corps in the army, and five
branches in the navy.
Three opportunities to learn to fy
are enumerated in the Directory of
Service. This is the section addressed
to those with ambitions to soar:
"Thcy can enlist in The Aviation
Section of the Signal Enlisted Reserve
Corps of the army, which is operating
schools at Mineola. Long Island; at
Washington, Chicago, San Antonio,
Tex, and San Diego, Cal. But there
are already 1900 upon the waiting list
at Mineola, headquarters for this dis
trict, so that practically the only OPEN
ing for aspirants at present is in the
navy.
"Mcn can ion either the Aviation
Section of the Naval Militia or one Of
the units Of the National Aerial Coast
Patrol. The navy itself has no orgsni-
cation for aviation as yet; and the
Naval Miltia's Aviation Section is
nearly full. The National Aerial Coast
Patrol is the best field at present for
learning aviation; there are already
formed six units-at Harvard. Column
bia, Yale, etc-and more are being
formed daily.

Life on the Ocean Wave and
What a Man Nav Cain by L

To join the navy one must be an
American citizen. between the ages
of II and 30. and able to read and
write. The enlistment blank includes
numerous other questions, concerning
health and previous conditions of SER
vitude, but these are the chief re-
quirements Of the man who wishes ia
serve the nation on the water.
Concerning the things that happen
TO the raw recruit, the booklet con-
tans this information:
After enlisting, a man between II
and % not skilled in any trade is
enyolled as apprentice seaman and is
sworn in. He is then sent for a period
of three weeks to the recruit bar
racks, and after this preliminary
training he is transferred to one OF
the four training stations, at Norfolk,
Va; Newport, r. l.. Great Lakes, ILL.,,
or San Francisco, Cal.
"His training at these stations in
cludes drills, duty and study periods,
but besides these he is given an op-
portunity TO work in the technical
naval trades, such as signalling, wire
less, music, hospital work. ETC., and
if he shows special aptitude he may
be assigned 70 one of the naval trade
schools. After the apprentice seaman
has completed his course of instruction
he is examined. and il he is found
qualified he is advanced in rating and
is allowed 10 draw the money due

Every Effort Directed Toward
Increasing Production of Food

Since not only the army and navy.
but the entire nation must travel on
its stomach during the war. every
effort has been bent by those seeking
TO aid in the mobilization Of American
resources to the subject Of increased
production Many pages of the Co
lumbia booklet are given over to dis
cussion of the subject, great part of
which is taken up with quotations
from Presidents Wilson's message to
the American people. of April 10, in
which he calls upon them to increase
the worlds food reserves.
The writers then sum up methods Of
carrying out this object, thus:
"Many plans have been proposed by
various commissions and societies for
the alienation of the food crisis, and
some OF these plans are now being con-
sdered by Congress committees and
the various state legislatures. Until
some definite course FOR the nation and
state 10 pursue IN increasing the pro-
duction OF food has been decided upon.
il is the duty of every one who could
possibly aid the government in this kind
Of work to watch the daily press for
sugge stions as TO valuable methods Of
increasing the food supply. The De-
partment Of Agriculture is distributing
throughout the country copies of the
resolutions drawn up by the conference
Of agricultural experts which met at
ST. Louis last week. These resolutions
offer the most comprehensive plan OF
agricultural development yet suggested.
and il is certain that some OF the
resolutions will be embodied in the
bill pertaining to agriculture now be-
fore Congress.

Safeguarding Of Labor Urged to
Maintain War Material Output

Labor. have recommended that all re-
strictions on the number of hours and
conditions of labor be removed. There
is bill pending at Albany, at this
writing. providing for the practical
abrogalion Of all labor standards and
placing labor under the private and
sutocrstic control of the State Indus
trial Commission.
"If this were certain to be a short
war temporary speeding up Of labor
night be permissible, but English ex-
perience since the beginning Of the
war has clearly demonstrated that, al
though the labor laws may be repealed
for an extended period, the laws Of
physiology cannot be repealed. An
extension in the number Of hours, in
stead Of increasing the output. is AL
most certain TO reduce IL after the
first spurt. The stale worker will
produce less in quantity and quality
than the one who remains FIT; there
will be an increase in the sick list,
more broken time and a complete dis
organization Of the factory. A few
weeks more time may mean more out
Tut. but after that IL will mean q
steady lessening of the capacity Of
each Individual worker

who served their country most eff
GENTLY in Great Britain during the war
did so by remaining at their normal
occupation of peace. There are many
such opportunities for similar service
in this country. and the collaborators
who published the booklet advise
against hasty change of occupation on
the theory that such change would
prove a certain method of doing ones
bit"
Necessity for organization in carry
ing on any efficient war service by mu-
nicipal. state or other committees is
pointed out. Overlapping and conflict
ing activities of various well inten-
toned bodies is said 20 have almost
nullhed their efforts for the public
welfare. II is suggested that each
community place central committee
in complete charge OF all branches OF
war relief work particularly.
Concerning the makeup of this con-
trial committee, the Columbia body
says:
I'm this committee representatives
of The different local activities should
be included. and through the members
of the committee a working union
should he effected with such national or
CARNATIONS as the American Red Cross,

Committee. 1O5 East Twenty

ty-third Street. New York; Military
Training Camps Association. 10 West
Forty-fourth Street. New York, and
Naval Training Association. 26 Cort-
landt Street. New York. Such local
committees should keep informed on
the progress for defence in industrial,
agricultural. legislative. medical. mill
tary and naval lines, and should post
or publish in local papers summary
bulletins from time TO time"
For those who continue TO be uncer-
tain as to what they should do. this
general principle is laid down by the
experts: keep on doing what you
normally do, but do it better; and save
in every way possible"

Defence League Offers
Chance for Service at Home

In order TO give an opportunity to
those of beligerent disposition who
desire to do their fighting without
leaving the city. the Home Defence
League was organized at the sugges-
ton of Police Commissioner Arthur
Woods. Members of the league will
take the place OF the city's police in
the event that they are called on to
do war duty.
Recruits for the league are enrolled
in the police precincts in which they
live. Good health, obedience to the
captain of the precinct and average
intelligence arc the only qualiNca-
tons To date the league has enrolled
about 1900. There are infantry,
cavalry, motor car and motor boat
branches Of the service.
While this league may be restricted
to urban communities, it has a distinct
place there. Enrolmcnts may be made
at the precinct station house. In
formation may be obtained from Alex

agricultural experts may be summed up
as follows:
Legislation recommended:
"D Congress must raise for the
Department Of Agriculture an emer-
gency appropriation Of s25,000.000
"(2) Farmers must be urged TO in
crease production, and housewives Il
decrease waste.
"(3) Two million unemployed boys
between the ages of 10 and 10, should
be modified for farm service.
80 Men untitled for military SER
vice should he enlisted as an officially
recognized force for the production OF
necessities.
"(5) A complete survey must be
made of the food supply; systematic
publicity of prices, control Of distrbut-
ing agencies, and the fixing Of prices
If necessary. must be provided for.
with regard to the specific problem
Of increasing the present productivity
OF the soil, the experts recommend the
following:
I'D Increase the acreage Of spring
wheat in the Northern states. In
crease the corn area east Of the Tooth
meridian running through Pierre
s. d..
"(2) In districts where wheat has
been winter killed, replsnt with oats
corn or sorghum as climatic condi-
tons may determine.
"(3) Plant barley and oats, wher-
ever they are proved reliable crops
to the maximum that can be handled
"(p Buckwheat acreage in the
Northern and Eastern states, where
the season is too short for the great
staple crops. may well be increased.

vestigators as Miss Josephine Gold
mark. whose reports on the conditions
of women who worked overtime won a
ten-hour day in Oregon. IL has been
proved by hundreds of big manufact-
urers who shortened their working day
to increase their/output. Driving the
worker TOO hard is killing the goose
that lays the golden egg, a lesson which
we must not forget in wartime.
ENGLAND forgot il in 1914. When
the war started, without an actual re-
peal of the labor laws so many eXemp-
lions were permitted that all labor
safeguards were practically abrogated.
Women were allowed TO work at night
and seven days a week. Rest periods
were abolished. When there was
shortage of munitions at Gallipoli Eng
land began to ask why. The commls-
sion appointed TO find out what was
wrong discovered an appalling SICK list,
a faded body of workers and sluggish
output
"Sincc then the labor laws in Eng
land have been maintained with UNI
usual rigor And the Council for Ma
tional Defence has learned lesson
from the costly British experience. 1t
has published request TO the state
legislatures asking them not TO depart
from the present standards of labor
without specific declaration from the
council that such departure is essential
for the effective pursuit of national dc
fence. Ii is not going TO gear labor
for short. brcathless spurts, when there
may be a long. steady pull ahead. II
has requested likewise that power TO
make exemptions be placed in the hands
OF the Governor. who is to use such
power only at the particular request
Of the council"
In the event Of infractions of the
present laws or any attempt TO evade
them under cover of war stress work
ers are advised to report their discov-
cries TO the State Industrial Commis-
sion. Also, they are asked TO report
any movement to lower standards to
the Consumers League. 105 East Tween

What Women of Nation
May Do to Help in War

One of the gratifying discoveries OF
feminist leaders is that the demands
of the war have called forth greater
number of volunteers among women
than men. Although nursing Is the
chief task set apart for women in war,
those who are directing their efforts
have found much else to which they
may turn their energies.
agriculture offers opportunity for
many whose chief responsibility is IN
the home" says the booklet.
