THE EAST UNDER
WAR CONDITIONS
PHI. SOULEN TELLS OF ACTIVI-
TIES-COURAGE OF CRIPPLED
SOLDIERS

Professor and Mrs. Soulen have pu
in busy summer according to a brie-
report of their eastern trip, which was
requested by the STAR Mirror of Mr.
Soulen.
Mrs. Soulen was called to Holland
Mich, last February by the death Of
her father. Mr.. Soulen followed hel
east in June in order to attend tc
some business matters and to study
some of the reorganization work In
education, made necessary by war
conditions. In July they were called
to Boston by the serious illness of
their daughter, Mrs. Don K. David
and spent month in Cambridge,
coming back to Michigan by way of
New York and Philadelphia. Over
5000 miles had been covered and Ii
states had been crossed and recrossed
before they again reached Moscow.
With the exception of Ohio and In
diana, crop conditions generally were
good. In North Dakota and Eastern
Canada, the yields seemed especially
encouraging. The effect of war upon
the labor supply was conspicuous.
Women were busy in the fields and
in Canada especially, where but few
young men remain, the burden of
raising and harvesting the crops fell
upon the older men and the women.
Speaking of woman's activities re-
sulting from war conditions, Mr..
Soulen said: eve, farther west, have
little conception of the evolution go
ing on in the labor markets of the
eastxs In New York city practically
all the surface cars, the subways and
the elevated. drains are run by uni
-. J,,1
ands of women are employed in the
furniture factories of Michigan, doing
the work of men who have been draft
ed. One automobile plant in Detroit
employs thousand women who are
fast becoming expert in the manu-
facture of motors"
Just to get an illustration of how
actively women are engaged in philan-
thropic war work, Mrs. Soulen confer
red with the secretary of the Uhrouart
Chapter of the Red Cross in Phila-
delphia. This chapter is connected
with the Wanamaker department
store and occupies portion of the 9Th
floor of that mammoth store. In
April this chapter alone finished
67,737 articles, including surgical gar
ments and knitted articles. This chap
ter alone collected from booths and
other sources during six months end
ing April, 80, $1,015,10O. 12,129 act
i've and contributing members belong
to the stores Red Cross chapter and
2,649 women belong to the knitting
section
AS another illustration of what war
conditions are doing to places made
venerable by the traditions of centur-
les, think of Harvard University COM
mons. 1t is covered from end to end
with soldiers barracks. In less than
four weeks dozens of these wooden
buildings were completed and the old
college commons is now surrounded
by tall wooden fence surmounted by
strings of barbed wire. Six thousand

in the aviation service, are

who have had but little visual evil
dences of the ravages Of war; we who
sometimes complain because of sugar
restrictions, or the frequency of war
drives; we could profit by the lesson
in self abnegation which these re-
turned cripples teach us. Of the four
teen men whom Mr.. Soulen inter
viewed, not one uttered word of COM
plant. All eagerly listened to an out
line of the rehabilitation work, which
the government is already undertake
ing in their behalf.
Mr.. and Mrs. Soulen made the trip
from Boston to New York via a coast
steamer in order to escape the heat
and dust of train trip, and to get
a better view at close range of some
Of the government provisions for com
batting the submarine attacks which
at that time were occurring almost
laily along the north Atlantic coast.

THE WINTER SHORT COURSE
AND THE S. A. T. ,

Students of the School of Practical
Agriculture who are under Is years
of age will not be affected by the
S. A. T. c. regulations, except that
they will undoubtedly be able to take
advantage of the thoro drill and mil
itary instruction offered to S. A. T. C.
men.
Students of draft age may enter
school and continue their regular
studies in the short course until such
time as they are called in the draft.
During this time. they will have the
same advantages as to military drill
as mentioned above for younger men.
If they so desire, such students, in
stead of waiting to be called regularly
in the draft, may enter the short
course and at the same time apply to
their local draft boards for admission
to the S. A. T. C. for "Class Az train
ing. They would then continue their
School of Agriculture work until such
time as they are called by their local
JULIUS IOI VO1ullCdIy lluuCtlOI luJO
the army after which their entire time
for two months would be devoted to
the "Class A" training of the S. A.
T. c., as described elsewhere in this
issue.
Since, in many cases, it will I'M
doubtedly be some months before they
are called to go to camp or will be
able to enter the S. A. T. G. for the
industrial training provided for "Class
A" men, it would seem advisable for
students of the school and for those
who are contemplating enrolling for
the first time this fall to register at
the opening of school, the 18th of
October, and continue their studies
as long as possible. This would be es-
pecially true as regards young men
under 10 years of age, who, apparent
ly are not to be called until after the
older men. The military drill thus
secured will be of much value later,
and term or year of school work
might be completed before entering
war service.

STEERS
WIN AT SPOKANE
Grand Champion H0nors to Idaho
School.

Grand Champion HoRors to Idaho
School.
For the seventh time in succession
a steer exhibited by the University of
Idaho was made Grand Champion at
the Spokane Interstate Fair. Up to
this year, the Idaho School has also
won each year the premier honor in
fat wethers, which, together with the
steer showing, makes most enviable
record.
The steer show at Spokane Inter-
state Fair last week consisted of ex-
hibits from the Curtiss- Hereford herd
Of Canada, the Washington State Col
lege, and the University of Idaho
With total exhibit Of eight head, the
U. of I. won four out of six firsts,
all seconds for which entries had been
made, and in addition the much covet-
ed prize of Grand Champion steer

Shorthorn, bred by A. D. Dunn, of
Wapato, Wash, and fitted and ex-
hibited by the University of Idaho.
The varsity wethers, one of the best
collection ever prepared for exhibition
under the colors of the institution,
were accidentally burned when almost
ready for the Spokane show. The
Idaho steers will not appear again
until in November, at the Northwest
Livestock Show at Lewiston, and the
Pacific International Livestock Show
at Portland.

USE SUBSTITUTES IN BREAD.

Although Victory Mixed Flour.
containing 20 per cent substitutes
mixed at the mill. win be available
for consumers the coming year in as
many places as it is economically
possible, there will be some consider
able amount of straight wheat -four
seld. And when the straight wheat
-four is bought with 20 per cent sub
stitutes, every ounce of these substi-
tutes should be mixed with the -four
and should be used only for human
consumption, according to Federal
Food Administrator Leon s. Merrill
What the Feod Administration
desires to get into the minds of the
housewives of the country is that
they should use the 20 per cent sub
stitates and mix them with the
straight wheat -four for all purpos-
es". said Administrator Merrill IF
the substitutes are not used in bak-
ing, the housewife is not making a
war bread and she is not maintain
ing an economy in the consumption
OF wheat.
In the new list of authorized sub
stitutes the breakfast foods have
been eliminated. This was done with
a view of driving home this particu-
lar phase of the problem. The Food
Administration believes 1t is patriotic
and right for every person in the
United States TO eat the same char
acter of bread during the next twelve
months that is eaten by the whole
of the Allied Countries.
"A mixture of barley -four or corr
-four of the type that has been stan
dardized makes a good bread as any
clear white bread en earth, Herber
Hoover declared in Washington re-
Gently. And he added that all sug-
gsstians that mixed breads have any
