port of the force.
"Several friends Of mine, graduates
of West Point" Welsh wrote, "to
whom l have broached the subject, have
signified the subject, have signified
their willingness to join the regiment.
Many boxers and other sportsmen are
enthusiastic over the project and want

way to raise the necessary funds. A
number of these boxers have seen serv-
ice in the United States army"

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

PrejidfHf AmerieGH SOaty for Thrih

Secretary Reddeld OF the De-
partment of Commerce, has sent
appeals to the public schools
throughout the country, asking the
children to save old paper and
rags. "In the early history of the
paper industry" he says, pub
licity was given to the Importance
OF saving rags. 1t is Of scarcely
less Importance now" If the chill
dren would begin by saving these
two things, it would be a great
step in the right direction. We
should teach them it is not a thing
TO be ashamed Of, as some Of our
largest industries make their prof
its from by-products.
Andrew Carnegie, who for years
yielded an influence in the indus
trial world as great, perhaps, as
any living man, came to this coun-
try practically pennilcss when he
was twelve years old. His phe-
nomenal rise in life may be at
tributed to his following clear prin-
cipals and methods. In an adj
dress to students in a commercial
college he said, Avoid specula-
ton; avoid Endorsements. Aim

Other Radical Action Due.

To-night's action by the President was
thought possibly to forecast equally radi-
cal action with regard to steel and other
commodities whose costs have been In
vestigated by the Trade Commission.
Preliminary reports OH steel costs were
handed to the President to-day. The
new coal prices are based on the com
missions figures on costs of production.
1t had been expected that the Presi-
dent would place the power to fix coal
prices In the hands OF a one man board
which would act under the authorty\o OF
| section 25 OF the food bill either to take
over the entire coal production of the
| country for resale or establish rules.
Nobody had expected that the Presi-
dent himself would fix prices, although
tho food law gave him this authority for
its sale. distribution and apportiorment.
