To Train Eight Months.

Except for specialized troops
none of the new national army,
which the war department intends
TO call to the colors about Septem
Der list, will be sent overseas for at
least eight months after that date.
A statement to this effect was
made at Washington by a high of
fetal of the department and came
in denial OF reports that the plan is
to begin sending units OF the Sc
lectiye draft army to France about
October LIST. Such reports are
absurd. this official who happens
to be an army officer, declared
OF course, a few units. such as
engineers may be sent very soon,
bat the mobile forces, the infantry
and the artillery. will be kept in
the environments for several
months.
The principal reason that the ma
tional army Will be kept in Ameri-
can training camps for from eight
months TO a year is, that were the
government disposed 20 send these
soldiers across the ocean ships will
probah!y not be available. The
regular army OF 500 600 men and
the National Guard of 400, 900,
which may be increased to 900 900
will be sent 10 the trenches before
the drafted army Estimates of
the number OF troops that can be
transported monthly now range
from 20, 900 to 90 coo. Forty thou
sand probably is very near the ca
pacity Of ships and conveys now
available.
The number that can be handled
will increase monthly. 1t is not
unreasonable TO assume that the
governments will be able TO put
from 500 600 to 600 600 men in
Europe in eight months. This
number will total approximately
the National Guard and regular
army strength TO be used overseas.
The war department mas given no
iukling OF how much training it is

A committee Of the British ass0cia-
ton has been conducting an inyestiga-
ton Of the influence Of school books on
the sight, especially that Of children.
The glossiness of the paper was found
to be an important matter This glossi-
ness depends mainly on specular reiiec-
ton l. g. reflection similar to that
from polished metals. Such reflection
IS apt to interfere with binocular
vision. Scattered or dlffuse reflection.
as from a fine white powder, is not
harmful. Specular reflection cannot be
entirely avoided In paper, but it IS not
injurious to vision unless excessive.
When the specular reflection exceeds
80 per cent the resultant glare is like
ly to be harmful Writing paper for
school use should not give more than
81 per cent specular reflection at an
angle Of 45 degrees, since young
writer's often look obliquely at the pa
per. ColOred maps can be produced
without extra expense or difficulty on
paper conforming to the committees
recommendations. In some cases Tie
effect Of using suitable paper is spoiled
by the using Of glaze In the colors or
inks.

DOGS WORK IN WAR.

Dogs are never trained to s-ent out
the dead. Their business is 10 assist
the wounded. There are canine SEN
tries on duty on both sides in the great
war, and dogs that arr dispatch bear
ers. Marquis, French dog, fell dead
from bullet wound almost at the feet
Of a group Of French soldiers to whom
he bore q message across a shell-raked
stretch of country. But the message
was delivered! And there Is Stop Of
the Fifteenth army corps, the savior
Of many wounded, and Flora OF the
Twelfth Alpine chasseurs merciful
dogs OF war with regulations for dis
tinguished service. There are many
Stops and Floras actively engaged In
Humanitarian services. and it is quite
unfair for me TO single out individual
animals conference of dogs Of war
would doubtless so decide-except as
a means OF giving typical stories of
what are everyday exhibitions Of in
telligence, devotion and self-sacrifice
on the part Of the dogs of numerous
breeds in the vast zone of battle, says
writer in Red Cross Magazine. The
people in the warning countries are
called on for many and varied con
tributions. The French Wa: depart
ment has on record d communication
from the father Of a family which
polgnantly illustrates this, for he
wrote: Il already have three sons and

Sundays game at the local park
was fairly we'll attended, but the
intense heat no doubt had its affect
on the players and prevented fast
ball, hence the contest lasted more
than two hours. Drafz and Miller
were the opposing pitchers, Hurley
getting 10 hits and Ironwood 8.
Benton's double aud B. Secor' :
single gave Hurley their first run
in the end inning. Two more were
added in the 9th when Benton sent
Ritchy and Ross across with tri-
pie. Benton was some star with
the stick in this game, getting
three safe ones, a double and two
triples, in four trips to the plate
In the 9TH Hurley staged a batting
bee and registered FIVE times, being
assisted in their scoring by some
loose playing on the part of their
opponents, one of the runs being
forced over. Benton's second
three Dagger was made in this in

Three singles gave Ironwood two
runs in the 5th inning and they ad

Sundell heaved for Hurley in
Saturdays game with Chase on the
mound for Ironwood The local
swatters got enough safe ones off
Chase to ordinarily win a game
and the fact that they came out sec
end best may be ascribed to poor
work on the paths. Sundell was
touched up for 9 hits. Ironwood
was the first to score, getting two
around in the 4th frame on three
safe drives. Two errors and a
walk and two wild pitches gave
them two more in the 9th. In the
9TH frame Hurley registered three
times on five punched hits and ad
ded two more in the 9th, tieing the
score, norwood having registered
another i'll the 8th. Greene hit
one to right field, the ball striking
rock and bounding over the fence,
giving the runner a home run.
