MATTRESSES ENTERTAINED

Inc DOaruers at the Commons eN-
pressed their appreciation Of the
splendid service which the waitress
IS have rendered by entertaining
them at dinner Saturday evening
The young ladies were told by Miss
Sperry, who cO-operated with the
Toys in surprising them, to prepare
All especially nice table for some
distinguished company. They did
their best and the table was covered
with the most choice eatables. OF
course, they were surprised when
the place cards were laid to find
their own names thereon.
After a hearty supper, words Of
appreciation were spoken by Mrs.
Peck. the girls summer mother"
and Messrs. John Miller and Arleigh
Griffin. Mrs. Peek spoke happily Of
her relations with the Mattresses
and told of several unique expert
ences which they had enjoyed. Mr..
Miller spoke of the splendid service
which the girls have given and
thanked them warmly. Mr.. Griffin
entered into the spirit of the hour,
concluding his response to the toast,
Our Mattresses. with the following
poem:
Our Mattresses,
None in the world more fair;
Always quiet and reserved,
When the boys at you stare.
Feeders of a multitude,
As Christ himself of yore;
Always ready TO get seconds
When seconds are in store.
Never worried by the rush,
No, never tired at all;
Patiently serving all those rubes
Who sometimes at you squat.
All our meals have been more bright,
Made light by your smiles serene;
Presided over with such grace,
As might well beflt a queen.
But we must sometime end this verse,
We can't go on for ages
To tell Of all our love for you,-
Would take the gift of sages.
So here's TO you, our Mattresses,
We love you one and all;
We hope to have you with US when
We gather in the Fall.
Griffin.
The whole surprise was managed
by Mr.. Ritter, with great credit to
himself and the entire Dining Room.
Everyone who boards at the Com
mons" has certainly enjoyed and ap-
preciated the splendid work OF these
young women.

PROFESSOR EDWARDS RETURNS

Professor Edwards and Howard
Whitaker returned Saturday from
months trip in North Carolina.
They report good time and sue
cessful work, holding six meetings
each week, at night, and working
in the schools in the day, several
days each week.
Professor Edwards taught sing
ing classes at night and music in
the schools. The people were en-
thusiastic over the music, the class
es increasing at every meeting,
nd begging for more meetings. In
The classes were mothers with three
or four small children and men and
women fifty to sixty years old. AT
Crossnore the class closed with a
concert which was unique, in which
the community for miles around
took great interest.
Mr.. Whitaker formed two strong
Boy Scout organizations. Some of
the young men walked six miles to
attend, and never missed a meet
ing. They are organized with lead
ers and placed under Scout Masters
who were Berea students so that
the work will go on thru the year.
The music and Scout meetings
opened up the opportunity for many
talks on various practical subjects.

Workman Who Changes Jobs
After Being Excused Once,

[By Webb Miller, United Press Staff

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The way
of the seeker after exemption from
military service for occupa tional
reasons is going to be hard. Presi-
dent Wilson's regulations to be issued
soon, will provide two strict checks
thereon:
First, the claimant must prove his
industry is necessary to "mainten-
ance Of the national interest" and
secondly, the applicant must prove
his service to be virtually indispens-
able to the industry.
Appellate exemption boards will
scrutinize carefully all cases Of cleri-
cal workers and farmers before
granting exemption.
In case of munitions workers,
miners, ship builders and other work
,ers on lines of national interest,
there will be practically no question.
The appellate boards-not the
local groups-will determine the in
dispensability of the industry and of
the man in the industry.

HAVE VERY STRONG CASE

affected will be sufficient, the boards
will guard against selfish interest on

LONDON. June 15.-(By mail.)-
The allies will shortly call upon
American women to make one of
the supreme sacrifices of the wa.
They will ask them to put patriotism
ahead OF love for their husbands and
sons-and stay at home.
When the first American axpsdi-
tionary force takes its place In the
allied line on the western front, frst
holding a piece Of the entente battle
line in Belgium and later taking
part in one of the great pushes"
against the boohe, many Americans
will be killed and many more
wounded.
It is the wives and mothers and
sweethearts Of the latter who must
then come across"-by not coming
across. The allied chiefs realize
what a sacrifice this will mean-and
American women will also when the
time comes. Americans who have
fcl.en and are wounded, in hospitals
here or In France. will want their
wives and mothers and the women
of the United States will want to
come to them.
The serious food shortage here and
in France, however, makes 1t unde-
sirable for these countries to feed
the enormous number of women who
will want to come. There is also a
shortage of hotel accomm odations
and of transportation facilities.
This Is another great lesson Of the
war which English have learned and
which Americans can profit by. When
the Canadians took part in the big
campaign of the last two years and
thousands were wounded and brought
back to hospitals in England and
France, sixty thousand Canadian
women braved the terrors Of the At
lantic to get by their sides. And
England finally had to send more
than half Of them back home.
The state department at Washing
ton has been apprised of the facts
by the American embassy here. Off,
cial action, probably taking the form
of an appeal to the women Of the
United States may be expected short
1y The British government has
issued no statement on the subject,
feeling that 1t is strictly an Ameri-
can matter which they will leave for
America to deal with. But govern

dorsing the advisabilHy of American

Prohibition Plank of Food
Bill, Wrapped in Bundle
and Left on Steps Of

WASHINGTON. June. a7-Prssi-
dent Wilson today found himself the
center Of tho nations prohibition
aght. Congress. unable to solve the
muddle endansering the food bill, has
shunted the burden.
Some time during the night the
senate agricultural committee wrap
ped up the bone dry amendment to
the food control bill and left 1t on
the white house stoop.
| This In effect was what was pinned
on the bundle:
"The manufacture Of distilled
spirits from food stufrs IS prohibited
during the war. Beers and wines also
cannot be produced from food stuffs.
Unless the president in the public
interest deems limited manufacture
Of malt and vinous liquors neces-
sary"
Aside from this the bone dry
amendment adopted by the senate
committee is the same as that ap-
proved by the house. The president
is given the power to commanders
for rehabilitation all spirits In bond
The action Of the committee, II
approved by the senate, will place
the president in a position Of af11rma-
lively supporting the manufacture OF
beers and wine If they are to con-
tinue and of advocating the w1ping
out of billions in federal and local
taxes on beers and liquors If they
are to stop.
That President Wilson win raise
protest against responsibility was ex-
pected today Some on the hill"
were chuckling in their sleeves in
the belief that perhaps. the admins
tration will now feel that 1t has
about all the power it wants.
No one could say what the presi-
dent will do If the senate approves
the committees action and If later
house and senate conferees agree
that the last say should be at the
white house.
It is probable the president would
lean on the judgment of Herbert
Hoover, food administrator, who re-
nm naqo 20
