BRIGHT YOUNGSTERS
USE THEIR BRAINS
NEW ENGLAND CHAPS LAUNCH
SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW
AND WIN.

WASHINGTON-Two New England
youths decided some time ago that
the United States needed a free radio
school to train viii eless operators for
our new merchant fleet. And so. with,
out making much fuss about it, they
went ahead and established the school
without cost to the government.
Today these young men are train
ing a class of 40 in the mysteries of
the Hertzian waves. The graduates
of the free six months course are all
pledged to join Americas mercantile
forces as wireless operators. Sec
rotary of Commerce Redfeld, travel
ing through New England on his va
cation discovered" the lads and COM
mended them in an official report.
Arthur ~Batcheller, a radio inspector
in Boston, and Walter j. Butterworth,
a clerk in the same office, were work
ing for the navigation bureau of the
commerce department when the ma
tional crusade for a huge merchant
marine began. IF we need thous-
ands of ships, we will need thousands
of operators" said Batcheller. How
are we going to get them?"
He interested Butterworth in the
proposition. They made their plans
got an official o. X. on them and
then went ahead. They borrowed
camp-chairs from a local steamboat
company, dragged out an old black
board from a school basement, OBJ
tanned instruments and testing ma
chimes without cost by appealing to
the patriotism of the leading radio
and by sheer grit and per-
c~orralled all the other re-
quirements for their school-includ-
ing office space.
Then they sent out a call for pupils.
By the score they responded. Result:
4 growing corps of wireless operators
for the American merchant marine,
trained free of all charge.

FAMINE IN SUGAR
IN FOREIGN LANDS
ENGLISH AND FRENCH PUT ON
SHORT ALLOWANCE WITH
LESS in SIGHT.

WASHINGTON = Compared with
Americas average consumption of 80
pounds of sugar per person a year,
England and France are almost with
out this commodity. The English per-
son, who in pro-war times consumed
his ninety-three and a third pounds
a year, is now allowed one-half pound
a week. In France the allotment is
but IS pounds a year.
The British have been careful to
announce that it cannot guarantee that
wen the half-pound allowance can be
obtained and a sugar card for a fam
lily is issued only for the number Of
persons sleeping in the house. In a
public restaurant, if sugar is taken
on cereals, the person must do with
out sweetening in his coffee. 1t is
now customary tor a lady, invited out
to tea, to take her sugar with her.
She is also expected to bring her own
cake.

SAFEST SECURITY IN THE WORLD

Liberty four per cent bonds are the
newest and the Oldest of our securi-
ties.
Back of every investment in the coun-
try is the United States government.
1t gives value to every enterprise and
business.
The government has the power to
tax the whole country-every individ-
ual, every business and every piece
of property-to fulfill it's promise to
pay it's bonds.
If it should fail to meet its obliga-
tions when due, the value of every
business, every piece of your property,
every bank account, in the country
would be vitality affected.
Considered thus, the Liberty bond is
practically a first mortgage on every
railroad, every industry and every
municipality in the United States
the richest nation in the world.
Even if the United States is forced
by a continuation of the war to raise
say $40, 900, 000, 900 by sale of bonds,
the United States would still owe far
les in proportion to her wealth than
any nation in Europe.

JIM DALE
By ELLIS PARKER BUTLER
of the Vigilantes

Young Jimmy Dale, across our street
Is just a gawky lad,
He grew so fast, the doctors said,
His heart was mighty bad;
They wouldn't let him do much work
Or any hearty play
But, just the same, they drafted Jim
And Jim has gone away
Jim was a sort of great, big kid
And fooling all the while
So, when they ordered him to camp,
He went there with a smile.
Jim Dale is in the army now,
Lark legs, bum heart and all,
To fight like other drafted men
That got the country's call.
God, yesl Jim's heart may drop him
dead
Or he may live to be
Shot all to pieces "over there
What odds to you or me?
thunder! it's these odds to you'll
If kids like Jim can 60,
With smiles, to fight our wars for us
We can put up the dough.
If we can buy a bond Or two
And don't, while Jim, poor cuss,
Goes smiling off to death or wounds
Then hell's too good for us!

the most wasteful housekeeping ma
ton in the world.
Our country should be a model of
economical management.
We need to secure the use of equally
good food in substitution for those con-
centrated commodities which can be

This is now the most urgent ac-
tivity of the war;" Herbert c. Hoover.
No real inconvenience is necessary.
The campaign may be made effective
without a single meal being less nutri-
tive and delectabIe.

to help stabilize prices.
Food will win the war.

ing our bit most efficaciously.
We can encourage wisdom in eating.
