ing the longest stay away from his
desk since last fall. when Germany
was observing her submarine pledges.
He and Mrs. Wilson were given
hearty greeting by a crowd gathered
at the station.
There had been no announcement
concerning the presidents movements
since Yesterday and in view Of uncOn-
ftrmed reports OF submarines off The
coast the possibility that he might re-
turn on the yacht Mayflower was dis
cussed By tho public here with no H.

clubs, has been assigned the task OF
experimenting in North Dakota the
work OF making scrap books for the
soldiers in the trenches and hospital
patients In the war zone.
instructions sent out by Mrs. Bud
long say that the scrap books should
be light in weight, inexpensive in con-
struction and numerous in quantity.
They should be easy to handle, so
cheap that they may be thrown away
when sanitation demands, and in GUAM
titles sufflcient to supply thousands Of
men and to enable them to have a
change Of reading every day If desired.
For these reasons. no stir covers
should be used, and no expensive ma
terials Articles cut from newspapers
can be pasted on wrapping paper or
onto the leaves Of catalogs which are
usually thrown away 1t is better to
divide the catalog into many sections
limiting the scrap books to less than
a dozen pages, so that they can be
easily rolled.
THE contents Of the scrap books
should be cheerful, optimistic, patri-
otic. No depressing articles should be
permitted. Jokes cut from the columns
OF daily newspapers and monthly Pc
riodicals are the best possible material,
and If cartoons and other Illustrations
are interpreted, very attractive book
lets may be made It Is good plan to
have some Of the booklets consist Of
poems alone, others Of Jokes alone,
and some Of the combination Of the two.
