CALL FOR Big men

Advance of the food control bill to point where
We may expect passage in few days, and the rela-
lively prompt passing Of the huge aviation appro-
priation proves that Congress is supporting the
president. Representatives of the people are plae-
ing in the hands of the executive leaders every pos
sible weapon believed to be necessary to win the
great battle for free world
All this places a tremendous responsibility upon
the executive leaders of che country. They have
been supplied literally, almost layishly, with men,
money and authority If they rise to the occasion
as Congress has done they should know no such
possibility as fail.
The first call is for men of capacity to handle the
great national projects. Realizing that most every
one in the government is new to the job suddenly
thrust upon us, the people will be willing to make
allowances for a time. But in the final analysis
the demand and very insistent demand will be for
men who know their business, men who size up to
the task in hand There will have to be an end, for
instance to the decidedly unseemly row going on in
the shipping board. Results are. demanded, and
very prompt results at that While the president
has Congress on his hands to do still further work
he may allow men in the executive branch to &C.
cupy their time in trying to find themselves, but even
tually it will devolve upon Mr.. Wilson to turn to
members of his official family, knock a few heads
together tell them to quit fighting and get down to
business, or get out.
The thought to be kept uppermost in every mind
is the magnitude of the work that is being under
taken in this era of development forced by the
demands of war. 1t means the elimination of at
least ninety nine per cent Of politics of the peanut
variety. .-.. &c.,
These are days Of tremendous responsibilities.
Work must be done thoroughly. Excuses will not
take the place Of results. Men incapable of reaz-
ing this fact whether they are in the army navy or
civilian life, will have to 60. -

HONOLULU BOYS
NNAVAL MILITIA

Just how popular Hawaiian music
Is among the boys of Uncle Sam s
navy is told by David K. Bent of the
Schuman Carriage Company, who has
received several letters from his son,
David K. Bent, Jr., telling Of the lat.
ter's experience with the naval militia.
AT night after drill we would get
our instruments and play a few Ha.
waiian songs, and you should see all
the crowd of men around us. TheS
make us sing one song after another
We sure make great hit We were
asked In play in cafe in 80. but the
officers would not let US, because it
was war time now"
Bent and his brother Henry are
well known here. The former is
member Of the Knights of Kameha
meha Of the Y. NJ. C. A., and was a
member of the class Of 1917 of the
Mckinley high school. David Bent
made quite reputation in war relief
and Red Cross benefit performances
by playing the ukulele.
Although partially censored, the
three letters from Bent tell consider
able their trips. He says they have
travelled on the Pacific and Atlantic,
from San Diego to La Plaz, in the
Gulf of California, to Balboa, to the
western end of the Panama cana
Ancon and Colon.
Telling Of an occasion when a
strange vessel was met at sea Bent
writes:
I'VE had quite a little excitement
the day before we reached Santiago;
sighted a sailing vessel and fired a
shot across her bow. She paid no
attention and we fired a second. Then
she slowed down. The next shot
would have sunk her. Then we saw
her name and that she was a vessel
from the West Indies. We were going
to search her, but for some reason we
did not.

What The Draft Means

In the majority of the dispatches from Washing
bon these days appear the words "conscription,'
tselective- draft and universal service" which
have tendency to confuse the public mind about
the meaning Of each term. There is but little diff
ference between the two words s'conscriptipno and
"drafte aseective draft being but modified con.
dition which can be eliminated at the will of the
president
Every male person between the ages Of 10 and
As years was subject to draft during the Civil War
there being no other distinction as to age. Presi
dent Lincoln apportioned the number of men re
quired among the states in accordance with the
states population, and each state made an appor-
tionment according to its several towns and cities
The names were placed in box and the required
number drawn hence the term "draft." 1t was
also permissible for adraftedn man to hire sub
stitute.
Today, all men of suitable age are held liable for
service and the classification as to age as against
local residence has been inaugurated for special
reason. When the call for men goes ont those of a
certain age are selected en- and in the present
instance it is more than probable that men at and
about the age of % will be taken.
further distinction is manifest in the fact that
our government chooses to take first those who will
not, if killed in battle leave families that will re-
quire aid from the government. The married men
are not passed through any consideration for their
families, but as measure Of public economy.
The word "selective" plays another important
part in the present war. The lighting apparatus of
world power is today so much matter of machin-
cry munitions, food supply and transportation that
it has been found more profitable to put men skilled
in mechanics and science where they will be of more
military value than by placing them in the rank and
file of the trench. 5
q 4 : ri
Universal service" deals with the proposal to
cause all males to serve permanently in the army.
As they arrive at their majority they would be cali
ed to serve to two years and thereafter held sub
iect to call to the coors until excused BY an age
limit This assures body of trained civilians who
are always prepared for service for their country
Americas problem is to adapt universal service to
the ideals Of democracy so that we shall always
have soIdiery ready for defensive action, but not
q nation Of military ridden people. - !

LITTLE INTERVIEWS

HENRY w. KINNEY: We find It

right now, but something will arise
soon.
CHARLES NJ. HITE: I am sfraii
much grace when he marks that ex-
animation paper that wrote Friday,
because the fact that I said It vas
not a hard examination to pass was
published.
GEORGE H. C. BRCMLEv: Be
tween rowing in tryout Tor one Of
the Myrtle crews and raising a Jaus-
tache, besides keeping a record Of the
vehicles that pass me when I am
taking the traffic census, 1 am lead
ing a very strenuous life.
w. A. HORNE: It is my purpose
in the work with the Army Y. NJ. c. A..
to have for the men in the service
as home-like place to come to as pos
sible. We have many buildings in our
entire equipment at the hotel AMI
there will be some places where the
married men can bring with them
their wives.
FRED OHRT: We have several
men posted along King and Beretanta
tIeets, taking a traffic census. By
counting the four-wheeled vehi: es
that pass between two streets .Ld
Multiplying that number by the aver.
age weight Of the different wagons
or machines, we can get the total
weight that passes over the street.
Ffom this We can figure the weight
which a unit area Of the road bears
in a unit of time.

men were rejected on physical grounds

AMONG THE SCOUTS.

A Scout must be cheerful, no matter
what he is up against. He must ''play
the game" and play it with smile
on his face, no matter how serious the
problem may be which confronts him !;
like the Canadians in this present war,
who are said to enter the terrible bat
ties with a laugh, kicking a football in
front of them, until the pig-skin alights
on the heads Of the enemy!
The number Of things which boy
can do and the thoroughness with
which he can do them have been Of
tener minimized than magnified. No
boy ever went to the bad except in
protest against parents who failed to
provide productive activity in proper
form.
When a Scout accepts a duty, he
does it cheerfully because he knows
that he is going to perform the duty
successfully. Whatever enterprise he
enters into he does it with the convic-
ton and belief he is going to win, and
he does it with a grin because he is
going to win.

NEW WHITE DIARRHEA TEST
Fowls Are Vaccinated by Injecting

Trial Of new test to determine
whether chickens intended for breed

Gliding this important matter with little
trouble at small expense.
The new test is made by vaccinat-
ing the birds by injecting vaccine
preparation into the skin of the wat
tie. IF the chicken is a carrier of
white diarrhea germs, the waffle vac
cinated will develop a doughty swelling
in about "a hours after the vaccina-

The test now being made use of by
some experiment stations Is to take
few drops of blood from the wing

MISS A. HAVLICKEK TELLS
SUNLIGHT EFFECTS ON HAIR

Miss Antoinette Havlichek of the
when asked concerning the effect of
sunlight on the hair, said: "The very
young girl may dash about a tennis
court in the binding glare of mid
summer sun, with no covering for her
hair except a ribbon tied about her
young and whose hair does not grow
so vigorously should be careful about
taking such chances.
Sunlight seems to do the hair of
youth good-at least it brings out the
bright color and the lustre of it most
posture to strong, hot sunshine for
hours at a time does no good to any
hair. Instead of Frightening the tres
ses, the hot sun fades them and robs
them of lustre-one is speaking OF
hours of exposure to baking sun, not
do no harm and possibly be of benefit
I'm youth the hair grows rapidly
and is rich with natural lustre, the
fading process is not so apparent
though in years to come the exposure
will tell it's tale
1.-THE woman whose hair is not as
rich in color or as lustrous as it was
should be careful to wear a hat when
sitting on the beach or in a sailboat
or when playing golf or tennis in the
sunlight" said Miss Havlichek, in re-
plying to query concerning the pre-
preventive measures that should be
taken to keep the color in the hair.

ROOSTER TO IMPROVE FLOCK
Difficult Matter to Select cockereIs as
They Are So Much Alike When
Quite Young.

The kind of cockerel used is far
more important than most poultry
raisers believe. = fact that one bird
looks well and is healthy and active
is a good indication of a good bird.
But this is not enough. The male bird
should be Of such good breeding that
he will improve the flock. If he is
not capable of doing this he is not
worthy of his place as head Of the
flock.
When you are selecting the male
birds from the young C>ckerels Of your
own flock you should use your best
judgment and find the best individuals.
In this case you must be Influenced
by the appearance Of the birds, as fol-
the most part the cockerels will be
about the same in breeding unless you
have trap-nested and kept records Oh
the hens.
1t is rather hard to select young
cockerels, as they may often deceive
one when they are quite young. Like
