DRAFT FOR GIRLS
IN FREE GERMANY

Copenhagen. - (C0fTespondence OF
The Associated Press. plans for
general CONSUMPTION of women after
the war are being made in Germany,
and there is a general feeling that
girls, as well as boys. will be COM
PEELED to undergo regular period OF
training corresponding TO the German
youths service in the army. The sery-
ice proposed for girls is not military,
but civil. 1t is proposed that all woIn
en- should, preferably at the age Of II,
be taken from their homes and com
pulsorily trained" either in pro-
fession, a trade, or in household duties
The characteristic German division
between rich and poor is maintained
in the project. Girls of the upper
classes are to be trained in special
institutions; poor girls will go to fac
tories or be placed In private house
holds, where their employers will give
them d trifie Of pocket money and
make a contribution to the state.
The idea meets with wide commen-
datiou in the German newspapers, but
one English critic notes that there is
some difference between male con-
scription which puts a man into
regiment run by and for the state, and
a female consumption which makes a
girl work without wage for the profit
! Of private individuals. The latter cam
not with accuracy be called anything
but slavery"
A short time ago a Berlin sociologi-
cal society offered q series of prizes
for the best essay on compulsory serv-
ice for women, and las essays werei
submitted The best two have 5ustl
been published The magazine,
SOzfale Praxis, in reviewing the es-
says submitted, says:
There is general agreement that by
a thorough compulsory training, the
services OF women to the country will
! become much greater than hereto
fore. Opinions differ as to whether
after leaving school girls should be
| trained principally Tor profession or
! for household duties. The lesson of
| the war, which has brought into clear
relief the abilities Of women in both
/ spheres, is perhaps that in future
middle course should be adopted.
THE training in households is to
I be regularly supervised with a view
to seeing whether the girl really learns
something there and is not merely
made a drudge, and she must be al
/ lowed time to attend the Womens
Service School. The employers are to
/ give q small sum as pocket money to
/ the 'conscrips' and pay the state a
levy for the services rendered. This
i revenue is to provide the means for
! creating more Women's Service
Home"

RESTAURANT men
DISREGARD ORDER
Twelve Eating Houses Fond ii Which
MeatIeSs and Wheatless Rule is
Not Being Followed.

Twelve restaurants in Moline have
been violating the order of the govern
ment relative to meatless and wheat
less days, Yesterday an operative of
the United States food administration
made a probe and found 16 places were
complying with the order, five only
partially observing it and an even
dozen ignoring it.
The pr0prietors of the offending
eating houses were plainly informed
that further violations would result in
arrests. Secret service men are to
make investigations at intervals and
viii visit boarding houses as well as
the down town cafes. for it has been
limited that in many of the former,
there has been wholesale disregard of
the edict.
Under the governments ruling, beef,
pork, veal, mutton or lamb cannot be
served on Tuesdays, fish, poultry and
game being substituted while on We'd
nesdays, white bread is forbidden, gra-
ham, rye and corn bread being allow
ed in its stead.

FATE In TREACHERnrs

Fate Is treacherous and soonest be-
trays those who depend most upon It.
It helps only those determined to help
themselves by acting out their desires.
Luck, too. is faithless and laughs at
the man who too strongly puts his
trust in it. It generously spreads a
golden glow upon the achievements
OF the man who rows as he prays.
but for the man who does not strive
it has only mockery. Exchange.

root space is necessary to Towering.
The cotton plants normal roofing may
occupy TWO square yards o. earth,

 Scoutmaster Toney Fago will organize a scout band at an early date; in fact, it is now under way. The boys are all anxious to get the band started, as they are confident that they can learn in short time while under the able and eff ficient direction of Mr. Fago.
 The Florence Chamber of Commerce is now interested in locating another iron industry in Florence. This plant will be located at the old Cohen stove factory in the eastern part of the city in the Belt Line'' with river frontage.
 The Sloss-Sheffield company has, dur ing the past few months, shipped out 35 steamboat and barge loads of iron from Florence down the Tennessee river to Metropolis, H., on the Ohio, from which point 1t has been distributed.
