tice of the net quota to be furnished
by such board, and such net quotas
shall thereupOn be furnished by the re-
spective local boards as required by
said act of congress and rules and reg
ulations prescribed pursuant thereto.
In computing the number of men to
be required from the various states
the government put to the credit of
each state every man it now has in
the National Guard and every man ii
has contributed since April / as q
war volunteer to the regular army.
Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side of the led
ger the national army of 100000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed on April 1 last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength the
grand total was apportioned according
to population.
This gave a gross quota for each
puted by checking off the number OF
National Guardsmen available for fed
eral service and the number of men
given by the state to the regular army
since April l.
The apportionment was made on the
basis of an estimated grand total for
the United States and it's possessions
of Jos, 1866, 056 inhabitants.
This is a paper estimate, computed
from registration returns, which comes
within the law requiring distribution
of quotas by population, but which
equalizes in a great measure the bur
den that is to fall upon the 1859 ex-
emption districts.
Total of 1,152,9S5.
Each will furnish under this appOr-
tionment the men it's total registration
would indicate as a fair proportion,
rather than the number the actual pop
ulatiOn of the district would indicate.
The total of these gross quotas is l.
152, 9S5 men.
Credit is given to the various states
for a total of 465, $50 voluntary enlist
ments in the National Guard and reg
ulars, making the total net quota for
all states 687O00 men.
Illinois, which was the first big state
to fill its quota for the regular army,
reduced its gross quota Of 1904 to
1858.

"Dressmakinq Not an Art"

That dressmaking is not an art, but
labor was held by jury in the United
States district court recently, in the
case of Albert de Vroye, husband of
Marie de VrOye, fashionable dress
maker, says the st. Louis Star. He
was fined 81 900 for violation of a fed
eral statute forbidding the importation
OF contract labor into the United
States.
The statute leaves several excep-
tons, including actors and artists.
Shepard Barclay, attorney for De
Vroye, contended a skilled dressmaker
is an artist.
The prosecuting witness was Bel
gian woman. She testified that In 1911
she answered an advertisement insert
ed by De Vroye In Brussels news
paper for a premier dressmaker, cap
able of designing and executing dress
patterns. She testified she was hired
by De Vroye in Brussels at 375 francs
(about $72) month and brought to
the United States.

WHY BE THANKFUL?

Why should you be thankful
Well, just because. Philosophy
and reason teach us that all men
are created equal as regards their
creation. In other words, each
man has the same beginning and
the same destiny as every other
man. He is entitled to the same
advantages and opportunities for
happiness and success.
And yet-and yet, go through
the hospitals of any great city.
Behold there on beds Of pain the
tortured victims of sickness and
wasting disease. Pass on to the
dwelling place of adult children,
the gloomy abode Of those whom
reason has somehow overlooked
the insane. Hurry through the
doors of squalid misery, the haunts
of lurking sin, the glowing palaces
Of gilded debauchery.
With your good Angel as guide,
hover for a moment over the bat
tlefields of earth, as they send up
their reeking odors Of foul putre-
faction. Gaze upon the distorted
and mangled heap Of flesh and
bones, once called human beings.
With your good Angel still by
your side, descend for a brief
visit to the eternal depths. Look
about that charnel house of lost
souls. Listen to their shrieks OF
blasphemous despair. Hold your
ears while they pour forth the I'M
ending torrent Of remorse and
hate.
When you have gained the pure
air Of heaven, cast a silent glance
into your own life. How many OF
the above cesspools of misery have
you escaped? How many graces
of God are still in store for you
How much health, happiness and
prosperity is yours for the seek.
| ing?
In view of all this, can you sin
cerely and conscientiously ask
yourself, "Why should | be
thankful ?"

MPARTING INFORMATION TO
CHILDREN.

- L. 9
Children are naturally timid.
Most things which they encounter
for the first time overawe them.
When they begin to ask questions
they begin to lose their timidity.
Three kinds Of questions develop
in the course of time, notes the
Western Waterman. The first
question is, What is that?'' As
a rule, the name only Of the object
is sought. Curiosity and interest
are satisfied in the first instance
in hearing the name, for to the
young child the name and essence
of a thing are identical. The child
does ask further for qualities and
characteristics, but believes that
the name conveys sufficient in
formation.
A considerable step forward is
made when the child for the first
time asks the question Why?o
Generally this occurs in the fourth
year. The child inquiries as to the
origin of a thing or the cause Of a
certain happening. In the course
of another year, the significance
