CONSUMPTION IN
IRELAND PASSES
BY BIG MAJORITY

London, April 1.-THE government
man power bill, including conscrip-
ton in Ireland passed its third read
ing in the house of commons yester-
day by a. majority of 176.
Premier Lloyd-George, in urging
the passage of the bill, said the sit
uation in France still was very seri-
Gus. The empire needed all the men
it could get. He had no real fear
for the result, however. The British
army still stood in the way of the
Germans and the French army was
intact, while the American Army
was coming across the sea.
Gen. Pioneer, British commander in
Flanders, was confident, he said, and
so was Gen. Foch, French comman-
der-in-chief of all the Allied forces.
The country should stand solidly to-
gether, he said, and achieve victory.
Sir Edward Carson, Unionist leader,
said he would support the bin, no
matter if it placed Ulster in a SUBJ
ordinate position to the Home Rule
element, or even if it put them under
Sim Fem domination. Even this, he
said, would be preferable to such gov
eminent as would be imposed by the
Germans.

THE INDEPENDENCE OF WOMEN.

The war has made 1t possible and at the same time necessary for an increasing number of women to become independent commercially. A large number of excellent positions have been made vacant by young men drafted or volunteering for mill tary service. In most cases, there are not available unem- ployed men to fill these vacan- eies. In addition to these open ings, new departments have been created in goverement work. requiring thousands of an ditional employees. large per cent of whom must necessarily be women. Under such condi- tions, any ambitious young wo- man will win her independence as surely as she will put forth the effort.
 The call of the government is an additional incentive for pa triotic women to come forward to do their part. Women are just as necessary in large mum bers to carry on the work of the war at home as are the men on the fields of battle. Many a wom- an whose husband or brother is in active service has taken up work for the government at home for his sake. as well as fer her country's sake. The women of America have responded no- ply to the urgent call to help tighten the burden on the men in the field.
 The commercial schools of America have never before re ceived such enormous patronage from the young ladies as they are receiving now. Commercial education for women makes it possible for them to render the assistance expected of them. Get this commercial training and let Uncle Sam decide where he needs you most. He must have stenographers, bookkeepers, tel egraph operators, typists and ac

cradle number of dealers failed to go
through the necessary formalities to

tare.
To add to the turmoil and to swell
the crowd, there was an unusually
large number of housewives on hand
seeking information regarding the
purchase of large quantities of sugar

necessary for them to apply to the
food administration. 1t was ex-
planned to them that they are per-
mitted to purchase as much as TWEEN
ty-fve pounds of sugar at one time
Tor canning and preserving purposes
by simply signing a statement to
that effect with any grocer.
Dealers applying for certificates to-
day were cautioned to watch their
sugar sales carefully and try, so far
their regular customers and under
no circumstances sell more than two
pounds to any person at one time, ex-
cept for canning.
