MILITIA ENLISTMEMTS
MUST BE VOLUNTARY
Officers Are Cautioned by Gen. Mann
Against Use of Coercion or
Threats to Obtain Men.

All officers of the organized militia
trict of Columbia and ali officers of the
National Guard have been cautioned by
Gen. William a. Mann, chief of the
militia bureau of the War Department.
that enlistments in the National Guard
as well as those in the regular army,
must, under existing law, be entirely
voluntary. and, therefore, no coercion
or threats may properly be employed
to induce the enlistment of any man
1T is the duty of all officers" says
Gen. Mann, lin giving Information to
men who contemplate enlisting, TO eX
ercise scrGpulous care to avoid state
ments which might be construed as
misrepresentation with respect to the
obligations of enlisted men under en-
llstment contracts provided for by sec
tion 20 of the act of June 3, 1916 (na-
tional defense act). That section plainly
requires, except in the recognition Of
uneHpired enIistments under contracts
which contain an obligation to defend
the Constitution of the United States
and obey the orders of the President
an enlistment contract for three years
reserve; and no officer has Il right to
give assurance Of discharge prior to
the expiration of six years service so
prescribed, except where, under the
terms OF that section. credit is given
for the period already served under an
old enlistment contract. which the new
enlistment contract replaces.
The terms Of enlistment are plainly
prescribed IN section 10. and any rep
resentatiHns contrary to the terms
tfereof viii be misleading, unauthor-
lZed and without effect, except to re-
fleet discredit upon the person making
them and to do injustice to the person
to whom they are made"

DINNER GIVEN IN HONOR
OF CHARLES E. HUGHES
New York Bar Association Welcomes
Him Back to the Practice
of Law.

NEW YORK. January 23.-Charles
f. Hughes was welcomed back to the
practice of law in New York at a din
ner given in his honor last night by the
Association of the Bar of New York.
Elihu Root, in his address of welcome,
declared:

Other speakers We're George l.. In

Mr.. Hughes replied. thanking the
me bers of the bar for their interest
in his welfare.
In his speech Mr.. Hughes said: 81

any suggestion of misfortune. l did

Court. but l did resign because /

II was glad of the opportunity to

The Jumper Gown.
FASHIONS

The sketch illustrates an exception
ally attractive little frock for spring
or summer. that may be developed in
number of fabrics. If desired it might
be made up in serge or gabardine. for
early street wear or taffeta and georg-
cite in self or contrasting colors might
be used, the georgette, of course, fill
ing in the upper bodice and forming
the sleeves.
The best suggestion, however, is to
use the design for a tub frock, with
moderately heavy linen in one of the
pastel shades fashioning the frOck
proper, while the upper part of the
bodice and the sleeves may be of white
handkerchief linen or wolfe, or of ALL
over embroidery, either in all white,
or with the embroidery done in color on
white. Plain and figured pongee might
also be combined in frock of this
type.
To make the dress. the skirt of)which
should measure about three or three
and-a-quarter yards in width, will re-
quire FIVE yards of material. thirty-six
inches wide for the frock proper. with
one-and-a-quarter yards of contrasting
fabric for upper bodice ard sleeves.
Concerning the coming seasons

to give them a chance to slip into that
hen yard while the bddies were out
or to give the biddies a chance to stray
outside. where they might be still more
easily caught.
But at night he sometimes left that
gate open, as Granny Fox had found
out. You see, he thought it didn't mat

afternoon of the day when Granny and
Reddy Fox had talked over plan to
get one of those fat hens that Farmer
Browns Boy collected the eggs ana
saw to it that the biddics We're going
to roost for the night He had just
started to shut the little sliding door
that closed the hole through which the
hens went in and out in the daytime
when Bowser the Hound began to
make a great racket. as if terribly e&-
cited about something.
Farmer Browns Boy gave the little
sliding door a hasty push. plcked up
his basket of eggs, locked the men
house door and hurried out through
the gate without stopping to close 1t.
You see, he was in hurry to find out
what Bowser was making such a russ
a bout. Bowser was Ytlping ana "hln-

ribly eager to be set free.

sore feet. Whatever it was, l guess
you've scared it out of 4 years growth,

Bowser still tuSged at his chain ana

down His master looked around be
hind the barn to see if he could see
what had so stirred up Bowser. but
nothing was to be seen, and he re
turned, patted Bowser once more. ard
went into the house, never once giving
that open hen yard gate another
thought.
Half an hour later old Granny Fox
ioined Reddy Fox, who was waiting on
the doorstep of their home. "it7 all
right, Reddy: that gate is open" said
she
How did you do it, Granny asked
Reddy, eagerly.
"Fasv enough" replied Granny. 81

Farmer Browns Boy Didn't
Close the Gate.
How easy tits TO just forget
Until, alas. it is too late.
/ Know | have and guess you have
Something's forgot 10 shut the gate.


Farmer Browns Boy is not usually
the forgetful kind. He is pretty good
about not forgetting. But Farmer
Browns Boy isn't perfect, by any
means. He does forget sometimes, and
he is careless sometimes. He would
be funny kind of boy if he didn't
forget and wasn't careless. But take
1t day in and day out he is pretty
thoughtful and careful. The care Of
the hens is one of Farmer Browns
Boys duties. 1t is one of those duties
which most of the time is a pleasure.
He likes the biddies, and he likes to
take care of them Every morning one
of the first things he does is to feed
them and open the henhouse. SO they
can run in the henyard if they want
TO. Every night he goes out just be-
fore dark, collects the eggs and locks
the henhouse up so that no harm can
come to the biddies while they are
asleep on their roosts. After the big
snowstorm he had shoveled place in
the henyard where the hens could

This is play on meiievalism that has
met with success. The edges of the

with beads of 1aps lazul and tassels

During the various sessions the key

ice followed. and the first business ses-
sion began at 9:15, with Elder w. w.

department for North America, in the
chair.
Concerning the publishing feature of
the convention, considerable will be said
about the field missionary secretary,
who is the uperintendent of the COL
porteurs. Some of the qualifications he
must possess it was brought out, are
that he must be a man of prayer; a
student of the Bible and other books !;
must have ability to teach others: a
leader of men. a successful colporteur
and capable of organizing his forces for

OF Interest TO Women
JUMPER FROCKs OVER pLEATED SLIPS
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, January 22-The jump
er effect never really dies. 1t has been
with us for several years under its
own name and under many aliases, and
today the main idea of it appears as a
part of the new kind of medieval gown
ushered in by the midseason.
Jumpers that stretch to the hips have
] been used over shirt waists of dark
fabrics as substitutes for white waists
that were always considered as acces-
sorry to the street suit. Evening gowns
have been built recently in jumper
effect of bullion cloth placed in two
panels, front and back. meeting over
the shoulders over a Low girdle-bodice
that carried wing sleeves made of col
ored tulle.
One of the French designers who has
always liked the combination of black
anu white has been Offering a gown of
black satin made in two straight panels
from neck to ankle embroidered at the
edges with cross stitch of silver
thread and mounted over an underslip
of white satin which was y. Gated 1T the
sides and held in at the normal waist
line by q deep crush belt OF silver cloth.

the peculiar tones which she affects and
which have been associated with her

pale mauve or blush pink somewhere
about the costume, for one of the art

Not only is the round cape fitted to
