MILITARY COURSE AT
 UNIVERSITY OF ARIZ.

Preparations to meet the needs of the Nation in the present emergency were very much in evidence at a rec ent meeting of the faculty of the University of Arizona, when it was unanimously agreed that all of the girls of the institution should take a course in domestic science, aimed to- ward food conservation, and the sen for men should study military engin- eering and military geology.
 With over 5O,0OO,0OO men drawn from the productive service of the world, and the apparent evidence of crops not up to standard, the Univer. sity is fulfilling a read need in de- signing a course to give its students the facts concerning the more econom- ical use of foods, thus preparing teachers to dissiminate this informa- ton throughout the country. It is believed that the war will eventually bring about very complete difference in our mode of living; whereas econ omy has played but small part in the ordinary daily affairs of the American nation, the training that the war will bring about will make new standards and new ideals.
 The course in military engineering and geology are designed for the training of officers, the courses includ- ing bridge and road work, military surveying, map making and interpret ing, etc.
 No less important is the training of young women, for the European situ- ation today emphasizes the fact that the women can and will be used in practically evry activity of life, and that trained women are scarce.
 The curriculum of the University will undoubtedly be changed more or less to meet the needs of the govern ment, for the University is endeavor- ing to do as great service to the Nation as is possible.

party is In command, labor leader the
premier of the commonwealth, and ex-
pressed hope that his own community
could make such progress in the next 50
years. But, he continued, there is more
drunkenness than in Chicago and more
young men and women drinking in the
public houses and the whole populace is
educated to get something for nothing
The government encourages lotteries and
the birth rate is the lowest of any anglo
Saxon people in the world, because short
er hours have released leisure and high
wages have released opportunity. and
the moral and spiritual conscience of the
community is not for the right
Mr.. Robins declared that this was due
to the fact that labor fought alone and
won while the church was against the
people. Now the people are against the
church. After explaining his work in
detail undertaken in Chicago 16 years
ago and its accomplishments, Mr.. Robins
emphatically declared that more had
been accomplished in the face of eternal
