headquarters staff and will be known
as the athletic director of the camp.
Griffith's recent trip east was in
connection with the work here, the
war department having ordered
conference of the athletic directors
of the various camps at Washington
last week. Several other well known
coaches heretofore identified with
college athletics, including Omer of
Northwestern, Worthington Of Wis
consin and Walter Camp, Jr., have
gone into training camp work. The
Masons, Knights Of Pythias and Odd
Fellows are erecting a club house
that will cost $4,000 which is to be
used as community fraternal CEN
ter. The Methodist church is erect
ing structure which will cost $1O,-
600 which is to be used as a commun-
ity fraternal center. Other church
organizations are planning places for
social entertainment.
Three brothers were reunited on
Thursday, when the Galesburg, ILL.,,
contingent arrived at Camp Dodge.
John Cherrington was in this contin-
gent. His two brothers had preced-
ed him to the cantonment, drafted in
the first s per cent. A college profess
sor and the son Of a paving brick
magnate were in this shipment. They
are Ira E. Neifert, assistant profes-
sor Of physics at Knox university,
and Earl Gretta, son Of the head Of
the Purington Paving Brick Co.

or don any part Of a uniform Of
United States soldier, Otto Wang
erin, professed l. w. w. drafted
from st. Paul, has been confined in
the guardhouse of the 351st infantry
regiment here. It is said charges
will be filed against him and a court
martial probably held.
The coming of the third increment
about Oct. Is, will mean the assem-
bling at the big camp of approximate
ly 85 per cent of the full quota Of
the. division, or about 42,50O soldiers.
The total number to be quartered at
the cantonment, it was announced re-
Gently, would be 50,0O2 men. Fif-
teen per cent will remain to report
and probably will be called soon af-
ter the third increment.
I witnessed the muster roll call on
Sunday. The $4,000 men were drawn
up in front of the several regimental
headquarters and the roll call was by
companies, each captain calling off
the names of the men in his company.
As the men answered "here" each ad-
vanced two PAGES. This monthly roll
call is made the basis of the payroll
and it is important that all be pres
ent. Out Of that vast company all
were present or accounted for. The
soldiers were given their first pay
Monday. 1t took $750,O00 to go a.
round, payment being made in cash.
The officers, something like $500 in
number, drew full months pay and

For Girls of the NorthIand

Rain or shine. snow or blow. the
wearer of a coat like that pictured
here may go comfortably on her way.
There has been no creation OF the
hours more dependable than the
pushes that have made such progress
during the last decade and It is be-
cause they have such honest quail
ties of wear, resistance and warmth,
that effort has been spent on perfect
ing them. They have been made to
simulate the short-haired furs almost
TO perfection. Seal. broad tail and
caracul pushes are almost replicas OF
these sklns--all of them rich looking
enough to make up, and trimmed with
handsome, genuine furs.
the coat shown In the picture Is of
sell plush finished with a square cape
collar of fur which narrows at the
front and is heightened into revers- 1t
may be rolled up about the neck high
enough to muffie the throat COM
pletely.
This cape collar Is made OF an inex-
oensive but effective fur, blush gray
In color, an6 finished with tails across

calls fur of this kind "blue wolf" or
Exit fox" or some other name to which
1t is entitled only by his cleverness in
dyeing it. The wearers of these pelts
knew better than to be caught nap
ping near a wolf and were not on
speaking terms with any fox.
When the out-of-doors girl of the
north sets about acquiring a coat to
live In, she will do well to consider
these fur-trimmed plush coats, that
are shown In considerable variety.
Like fur, the plush coat can be worn
anywhere and any time. They are all
long, reaching nearly to the bottom of
the skirt. In this model the back Is
cut with a flare, the front plain and
straight with fuilness enough at the
sides to hang In folds. narrow belt
across the front is made Of the plush
and the plain coat sleeves have deep
cuffs Of 1t. These coats are usually
lined with a lining satin Of the same
sturdy character as the plush.

SOAP BUBBLES ARE DURABLE
II Blown in Accordance With Scien-
lists Directions They Can Be
Made to Last for Months.

The transient existence of the soap
bubble is proverbial, but Prof. j. Dew
err, in a discourse delivered at the
Royal Institution in London, explained
how soap bubbles could be made to
last for months, and exhibited several
specimens.
The first requisite is that the air
used in blowing the bubble shall be
free from dust. In Professor Dewar's
process the air is filtered through cot
ton wool, and the bubbles are blown by
opening "A stopcock in the air-supply
tube. For the soap solution he prefers
the purest oleic acid (tested by the
iodine number) and ammonium soap
(not potassium or sodium.)
To make a bubble durable the sac of
liquid must be removed from its bot
tom by suction through tubes applied
from outside. The lecturer showed
bubbles more than half yard in di-
ameter, blown in glass vessels contain
ing pure air at atmospheric pressure.
A little water is kept at the bottom
of the vessel. A uniform temperature
of about 90 degrees Fahrenheit is ia
vorable to longevity.
Professor Dewar said some of the
smaller bubbles We're a year old.

At the Ribbon Counter

Annually the ribbon counter blooms
out month or so before the holidays
with all sorts of new and lovely be-
longings for everybody. Its appeal to
the eternal feminine Is as certain as
the sunrise, no more to be resisted
than that of flowers or children. This
year not soul in the household has
been Observation-Disclosures Is something
made of ribbon from everybody from
the baby to grandpa.
To begin with there are innumerable
bags-knitting, sewing, shopping bags,
bags to hold handkerchiefs, slippers,
etc. party and opera bags. There are
small lamp and candle shades, and
little folding screens to stand on the
reading or dressing table. There are
glorious cushions for bedroom lounges
or the living room, and an army of
bows of all sorts. There are the per-
ennial corsage roses and other flow
ers, and small nosegays of little rib
bon flowers for the coat or fur neck
piece, to be worn on the street.
In the little group of novelties pic
tured here there are corsage orna-
ments and a small bit of neckwear.
The ribbon rose Is made of pink satin
ribbon in two shades, cut into short
lengths to form the petals. 1t is not
difficult to make when the breach is
once acquired. Millinery stems and
foliage and millinery stamens are used
with ribbon flowers. The center OF
the rose is formed by folding the dark
or shade In the ribbon and wrapping
1t about the end Of the rubber stem.

FAMOUS AS CURRANT ISLAND
Zante, in the Ionian Sea, Also Is Noted
for Its olives and Earth
quakes.

Zante, the famous currant island of
the Ionian sea, where the revolution
airy movement against the policy of
King Constantine followed close upon
the heels of similar manifestations of
discomfort in Crete and Lesbos, is de-
scribed by the National Geographic
society in the following war geography
bulletin:
The frequency with which Zante Is
visited by earthquakes of disastrous
severity accounts in some measure for
the comparative lack of prosperity on
this Ionian island, which enjoys a sa-
luxurious climate, Is abundantly wa
tered by springs, still deserves the
appellation of wooded Zacynthos,"
applied to it by the poet Virgil, and
whose central plain is veritable gar
den spot with the succession of vine
yards and olive groves.
Zane lies eight miles south of the
island of Cephalonia and is nine miles
west of the nearest point on the Pelo-
ponnesian coast. Its greatest length
is about % miles and it has a maxi
mum breadth of - miles. The west
ern half of the island consists OF Sc
ries of bare, limestone mountains
which slope gradually down to the
eastward until the luxuriantly fertile
central plain is reached. The eastern
side of the island also is elevated, but
here the hills are clad with vines and
groves Of the fig, olive and orange.
The olives of Zante are. with the ex-
ception of those grown on the neigh
boring Island of Corfu, the largest In
this part of the world.
The chief product of the island and
the principal article of export is the
currant (Which derives its name from
its native city, Corinth). This small
grape, which grows on a dwarf vine,
hns played and is still playing an i'm
part in the economical life of Greece.
A mania for currant culture swept
over Zante and other sections of the
country adapted to the vines growth
during the last quarter of the nine
teenth century, to meet shortage In

~ WITH the northwestern battle
~ theater Of the Turks pro-
claimed by the war proph-
cts as that where the de-
Gliding master strokes in this most
titan-like of all struggles are to be
delivered, a sketch of this remarkable
regions past, prepared by Harry Girls
void Dwight for the National Geo
graphic society, is of more than usual
interest. Here the West won it's self
confidence, and this confidence has
borne fruits with splendid richness for
longer than 1000 years. Here the
course of civilization has been changed
and modified several times, and here,
again, the attention of the world has
been fixed in the belief of many that
the future of Europe will once more
be determined by events there.
There is something alluring in the
very shape and position of these lakes
the Black sea and the Sea of Mar
corresponding as they do the two
most historic continents of our globe,
and communicating with each other
and with the outer seas by openings
that seem miraculous. And those land
locked waters have been from earliest
times the theater of epic events. For
us of the West no legends are older
than those of Zeus and 10, of Phryxus
and Helle, of the Trojan war, of Jason
and the Argo, which commemorate the
earliest voyages into the Great Lakes
of the Levant.
Black Sea Vast Body of Water.
OF the two, the Marmora-the Pro-
points, If you prefer to be classical
is by far the smaller. Not much more
than 100 miles long and some forty
miles across at its broadcast part, it is
about the same size as Lake Cham
plain. The Marmora has much of the
softness of air, vividness of color, and
beauty of scenery that we associate
with the Aegean and Ionia seas
Thread the narrow slit of the Bos-
phorus, however, and you pass into an
entirely different world - Sterner
barsr, rocker, colder.
If the Marnora may be compared
to Lake Champlain, the Black sea is
about four times the size of our great
est lake. Lake Superior is 412 miles
long by 1877 wide, while the Black sea
has length of 100 miles and breadth

After this each petal Is made by gath
ering a short piece of ribbon across
one end and fastening 1t to the stem
by wrapping thread or tie wire about
it. The other end of the petal is curl
ed back and tackled down. Sometimes
three shades are used and always the
darkest is at the center and the light
est on the outside of the blossom.
The poppy is made by gathering
strip of ribbon close to the edge with
silk matching the ribbon in color, to
form the outer edge of the petals. The
other edge is feathered closely and
wrapped about millinery stem with
stamens at the end. Both the rose
and poppy are set In appropriate foil
age.
A new arrival for the corsage has
settled among the flowers. 1t is a
butterfly of gayly colored ribbon with
markings added with brush and water
colors. At the right of the group is
little neckwear piece made of loops
and ends of baby ribbon. The ends
are knotted and little blossom, simu-
lated in ribbon is deftly sewed over
each knot.
An orchid from the milliners set In
maiden hair fern from the same gar
den Is tied with satin ribbon. In the
heart of the orchid is tiny powder
box and puff and a small mirror is
sometimes craftily concealed in the
bow that ties corsage flowers of this
kind. Every one is delighted when
they betray themselves at the dance
or other places, in time of need.

France, but it resulted disastrously
for the Zantiots.
Zante was colonized either by the
Arcadians or Achaens in very early
times. 1t remained Independent for
many generations, but in the middle of
the fifth century, before the Christian
era, the Athenlan Admiral Tolmides
forced the inhabitants to acknowledge
the supremacy of his city, while Spar
tas sway was accepted after the Pelo-
ponnesian war. In 357 B. c. the island
was used as a base of operations
against Syracuse by Dion, the pupil of
Plato. The expedition was q success,
but Dion's career as master of SYRIA
cuse was short-lived, for he fell a VIC
TIM to the assassin Callippus, one of
his own Athepian followers.
The Macedonans captured Zante In
PIT B. c., and they were followed by
the Romans, under whose regime tho
island was part of the province of
Epirus. Vandals, Normans, Franks
and Turks held the island in turn I'M
til 1885, when the Venetians bought
1t from the last-named conquerors.
The long suzerainty of the republic
city is reflected today not only in the
appearance of the people, but In their
language, and most of the Zanitiot
aristocracy boast of their Venetian
descent, while they speak both the
Greek and Italian languages.
In 1897 the island became French
possession, and shortly afterward was
occupied for a brief season by the
Russians, who were followed by the
British. In 1864 England ceded Zante
ana the other Ionian islands to the
modern kingdom of Greece.
An interesting natural phenomenon
of the island is shallow spring on the
Bay of Keria, where both pitch and
water bubble up. The pitch has been
used by the natives in caulking their
boats since the days of Herodotus.
On the east coast is the capital city
and chief seaport, Zante, occupying
the site of the ancient city of Zacyn-
thos. Its $4,000 people represent a
third of the total population of the
island.

of 3S5. That there is something dark
and unfriendly about it is more than
a legend The Bosphorus is 90 miles
long, and at one point of it's tortuous
course the hills of Europe and Asia
come within 500 yards of each other.
The Dardanelles is twice as long and
nearly twice as wide, varying from
l, 400 yards to five miles. It's Euro
pean shore, Gallipoli peninsula, is the
Thracian Chersonese of the ancients,
and its steep ridge overlooks the plain
of Troy on the Asiatic bank and the
broken foothills of Mount Ida.
Sea of Marmora Is Delightful.
While it's two historic gateways are
strategically the most important fea-
lures of Marmora, that picturesque
little sea has character all its own.
In any other part of the world it
would long ago have become a place
of sojourn for yachtsmen and sum-
merers, so happily is it treated by sun
and wind, so amply provided with
boys, capes, islands, mountains, forests
and all other accidents of nature that
make glad the heart of the amateur
explorer. AS it is, the Marmora re-
mains strangely wild for a sea that
has known so much of life. More
numerous than the settlements OF to-
day are the ruins of yesterday. About
no body of water in the world. of equal
size, have stood so many stately
cities. 1t is almost impossible, indeed,
to give any coherent account of the
story of Marmora, so much history and
legend have crowded its shores.
The true question of the straits
arose as early as the fifth century
b. c., when Alcibiades of Athens coun-
seled the people of Chrysopolis, the
modern Scutari, at the southeastern
extremity of the Bosphorus, to take
toll of passing ships. But the Otto
man regulation of the straits has been
far more jealous than anything at
tempted by the ancients. The Turks
have allowed no foreign men-of-war
to enter the Marmora unless under
rare and special circumstances; and
not only do they exercise surveillance
over the traffic in the straits, but
twice during the four years preceding
the war they closed the Dardanelles
to navigation of any kind.
