Character and Qualifications of Men
Desired.
1. The field artillery is in urgent need
of large number of officers at the
present time The object of this school
is to train a body of men fitted to fill
the more responsible positions of COM

effort will be made to select men of ex-
ceptional character and proven ability.
While it is desired to give an oppor-
tunity to all eligible citizens to apply,
no man should apply whose record is
not III every respect above reproach and
who has not the fundamental character
istics to inspire respect and confidence.
D. The field artillery is in need of
officers who have had scientific and
technical education, but this is by no
means a prerequisite to selection of can
didates. It is essential, however, that
every candidate should now have or be
fitted, through previous study, to re-

The following men have passed the
required examinations at the University
of Idaho and will be sent to the officers
training schools for various branches of
the service at Camp Zachary Taylor,
Kentucky, for artillery Camp Pike,
Arkansas, for infantry; and Camp Han

examinations have been made by Cap
tain Luther Felker and Sergeant Aben-
droth, of the University of Idaho staff
of instructors for military science, both
of them regular army men. Those who
have passed the examination and will be
sent to the various camps they select for
special training are:

particularly anxious to secure men for
these officers training schools, and
wants men of mature years, from 80 to
49, He says that men who have been
out of college for several years are
eligible and the government wants them
and will arrange SO that they can enter
camps at their convenience. If man
takes the examination now and passes
he can have until later to arrange his
business affairs and enter the camp. He
can designate the time he wants to enter
the training camp and it will be so
arranged.
Captain Felker left this morning for
Boise where he will examine class of
40 applicants for entrance into the train
ing camps
The following circular sent out by the
war department gives much information
in regard to the requirements for enter
ing these camps. 1t should be read care
fully by any who contemplate entering
the military service and seeking COM
mission as an officer. 1t follows:
General Plan.

and it is planned that new classes will
start from time to time as demanded by
The needs of the service and the number
Of approved applicants.
3. This will be hereafter the only
raining school in the United States for
candidates for commissions in the field
artillery, which includes both heavy and
light horsed and motorized artillery.
4. Civilians entering this school must
agree to serve in the army for the period

PREFACE

For IA years the kaiser was
my patient. All I know of him
and all that he told me came to
me while the relation OF patient
and dentist existed between us.
For that reason ! felt ut first
that. no matter how vital to the
allied cause might be the infor-
nation ] could give as to the kali
ser's viewpoint. ambitions and
plans. the requirements Of pro-
fessional ethics must seal my
lips and compel me to withhold
1t from the world nj large.
When. however, considered
the grave crisis that confronts
the world and in which my own
country is playing so important
n part, and realized that what
knew Of the kaiser might prove
OF some value to civilization,
concluded that my patriotic duty
was paramount and rose su-
perior to any Of tie ordinary de-
mnnds OF professional ethics.
In this conclusion I was
strengthened by tie urgent solicit
tuition Of the leaders Of my pro-
fession who were most emphatic
IN their contention that my
ethical qualms were entirely un-
warranted In view Of all the cir
cumstances.

1t Is hard to be really just to our
selves. A great many Of us are more
lenient with our own faults than with
those Of other people. while not few
censure themselves far more harshly

Of censnrlng another. What we should
strive for is to be neither too exacting

and the Salvation Army will make
joint campaign for funds November
11th to 18th with which to carry on
their work.
The amount asked for is $17O.5OO.-
900 divided as follows: Y. M. C. A.
$100.O00.000; Y. M. C. A. $15.OO0.-

proval of the President after the bud
get of all the organizations were sub.
mitted and carefully scrutinized.
North Dakota is asked to contribute
$675.00 of this amount one dollar per
capita for our boys at home and over
seas. North Dakota's spirit will be
expressed in the following words: 'It
can be done; it must be done; it will
be done" While it is the largest
amount ever asked to be given at
single time by any people we have
learned to do big things during the
past year.

man or woman, even if financially able
10 purchase food at any price, is feel
ing the need to get out and produce
something in his own garden-foods,
wheat for flour, sugar beets, baby beef,
money or maple strip. There is vast
held for the patriotic citizen to do his
bit in this way. Many women are
raising sheep, as wool will be more
and more scarce. Two chickens for
every member of the family, even on
small city lot is the slogan of the
poultry men, whom Uncle Sam Is
providing for every state.
Bees are not Of necessity a farm
animal, for these busy workers will
be happy in the attic of city home,
there producing 60 to so pounds Of
honey from one hive. The extracted
honey is the kind available for use in
cookery, while the comb honey is liked
for its flavor and table use.
Honey Mousse.--Beat four eggs
slightly and pour over them very slow
ly one cupful of hot honey; cook until
llic tSSS are llllCh, auu pinch Oh salt,
and when cooked, a pint of cream
whipped. Put into mold and pack in
ice and salt. Let stand three or four
hours to ripen.
Honey Custard.-Beat four eggs,
add quart of milk, one-half cupful Of
honey, one-eighth teaspoonful of pow
dered mace, One-fOurth teaSpOOnful Of
salt; mix well and bake in cups set
in hot water. Test the custard with a
knife; when firm to the tender, re-
move at once and place in cold wa
ter. CuStards that are overlooked are
watery and unpalatable.
Honey Ice Cream.-Take a quart Of
thin cream, three-fourths of a cupful
of honey, a few drops of almond eX-
tract and a few drops of rose water !;
freeze as usual.
Salad dressing of fruit is especially
nice using honey and fruit Juice mixed
for the dressing. Oil may be added If
desired.

radical features that are likely to cause
dsapproval. Yet each house is dis.
tinctive and attractive.
The floor plans of each of the houses
are somewhat similar because this par
tiCular arrangement has been found
to be the most practical. The arrange
ments differ Of course in various little
things, but in a general way they are
much the same.
The opportunity for harmonious con-
terror treatment, and this is where
these houses differ from each other.
In arranging for the building of
these group houses, the lots are gen.
orally made fairly narrow so all these
designs are made narrow enough to
go on a small lot. The widest is 25
feet and the narrowest is 81 feet, which
is small enough to go on any lot; as
they are seldom made narrower than
25 feet and are generally little wider
than this.
Several factors enter into the selec-
ton and arrangement of the rooms.
The main object to be accomplished
in the design of small house is the
utilization of all the room possible,
consistent with convenience and Access
sibility and also cost. Very often the
latter item can be affected by altering
the sizes of the rooms a little so as to
enable the use of stock lumber. This
reduces the amount Of cutting that Is
necessary and thus reduces the cost
often to a marked degree. 1t also en-
ables the builder to do faster work,
which may be an important factor at
times
Frame construction is used for the
designs shown here, which are of the
bungalow type. The foundations of
these and also of the other designs
are made of concrete up to the grade
line. The walls are of typical by a
stud construction, which Is covered
with sheathing. The sheathing is then
covered with rosin building paper and
| No. / four-inch beveled siding. Floor
| joists are usually made of by los,
which are spaced 16 inches on centers.
The ceiling joists are also spaced 16
inches on centers, and are made of 2
by 6 timbers-
A study OF this group and the floor
plans will give the builder many valu.
able ideas on group management and
will also provide much useful informa
ton on single houses of several diff
ferent kinds. Each of the houses is of
course separate and will look well II
set off by itself away from the rest OF
the group.

BY WILLIAM A. RApEoRp.

Homes for workingmen have come to
be one of the serious problems of the
nations war enterprise. When the
National army camps were built, thou
sands of building mechanics and Ia
borerS were brought in to handle the
work. Many were housed temporarily
in bunk houses or contractors bar
racks.
The same is now true to quite an
extent at the big shipyards.
Every one admits that this is not
the ideal condition. 1t contains a seri-
GUS threat to the working efficiency of
the men, as well as to their moral ma
lures. However, in the emergency it
is the best that can be provided. In
these big industrial centerS where
thousands of men must be brought to-
gether within few weeks to carry out
large stupendous program of sudden
preparation, such emergency housing is
about all that can be provided.
Many of the smaller cities, in fact,
even some small villages, are finding
themselves wOefully short on houses
for the workingmen who are being
called in by the sudden growth of
some local plant or factory. The war
activity is reaching out into surprising
places. All over the country we get
reports of this town needing so new
houses that town requiring 80, another
town %, another 100, and so it goes.
This housing need in the smaller
cities and towns should not be handled
