CLAM DIGGER CLAIMS
 HE IS SKILLED ARTISAN

Digging clans is appraised by a Cordova gent engaged in that gainful act as skilled labor employed in necessary industrial enterprise" This is the gents second season at that difficult profession, and his reason stated in writing for claiming deferred classification in the military conscrip- tion is that "clam diggers are scarce"
 The COrdova board refused to rec ognize the clam digger's industrial value to the military establishment, and placed him in the first class of prospective trench diggers The dis trict board, on appeal, upheld the To- cal board. As the cannery interested has only eighty clam miners, it may soon have to scuttle along with only seyenty-nine.
 Several shipbuilding artisans as- serted their weighty value to the ship ping industry, but as the regulations require that their demand for deferred classification be accompanied by a re- quest from the shipping board, and as none of them had it, they were all turned down. Answering the rigid cross-eXamination contained in the questionnaire, one of them stated that he was a laborer, that he did not know the name of the plant Ire was working in, that he had been there three weeks, and had never worked in shipbuilding plant before. There was blacksmith's helper with brief service; another claimed to be 2 skilled artisan because he could wheel barrow over twelve-inch plank.
 Several homesteaders in the Mat anuska valley asked to be classed as engaged in important agricultural work, and several small ranchers elsewhere, with a COW or two, asked deferred classification because of their great value in agricultural and food production.
 Various claimants appeared in the record who have dependents" not living with them to whom they send small sums. One party was passed by local board because he sent $9 a month last year to small daughter in Sweden. The district board pro- noted him to Class IA. because they instantly remembered that if he goes to war he will have to allot $15 a month of his pay to the kid, and the government will give her $5 more- Valdez Miner.

ment, the Y, M. c. A. secretary is keeping in touch with the men, sup. plying them with reading matter writ. ing materials and games for leisure moments. And occasionally an en- tertainment is given for the men to make the time pass more quickly.
 The Knights of Columbus secre- taries, the representative of the Jew ish Welfare Board and other religious organizations also are doing their part in caring for the new arrivals and soon the first impression of camp life, received in the darkness, is but memory, for the men soon learn that army life isn't half bad, and they thrive on it.

WELCOME GIVEN ENLISTED MEN
 AT CAMP LEWIS

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, April 29.- No matter at what time of the night or day the newly-drafted man arrives at camp, a Young Mems Christian As sociatiOn man is there to greet the newcomer, welcome him and show him the ropes" He isn't part of the army, but he is representing the pub lic-spirited persons of the Northwest who have placed him there to make the way easier for the soldier.
 Scores of the men in the latest draft contingent have been unfortunate enough to arrive at Camp Lewis in the dead of night There is no brass band to welcome the men. There are no brilliantly-lighted streets and all- night cafes where the new arrival can find little cheer for his loneliness.
 When the drafted man steps from ] the train he behOlds a vast stretch of inky darkness, broken here and there by an occasional light in one of the camp buildings where the Tights out at 9:3O" order does not apply. There l is nothing else, except a soldier in uniform, who welcomes them with a This way, men"
 The first view Of camp is discOur- aging. It takes an experienced hand to find his way about camp at night. There is not light to guide the way along the road. And there is a long tramp from the railway station, down past the Liberty theater, the Y M. c. A. buildings, the barracks of the 361st infantry, numerous warehouses and the depot brigade's headquarters to the receiving station of the casual of flee, where the civilian life is left behind. ,...--j.. It is depressing enough to stran- ger trying to find his way about camp at night. But the tramp, tramp, down the paved street through the oppres- sive darkness, to these men who are leaving behind them all they hold dear to enter something-they know not what, except that it is for their uoun- try-this brings them into the re- | ceiving station with long faces and discouraged step, which are not light ened when the examining officer or ders tongues out and chests bare so that contagious diseases may be kept out.
 And when the man steps forth from the long runway, again into the dark ness, expecting anything and wishing he were anywhere but here, han Is thrust before him into his. A cheerful voice greets him and bids him welcome to the building across the way any time he has a little leis- ure. little card is left in his hand and he goes on with the knowledge that he has at least one friend among those present.
 It is the Y. M. c. A. secretary, one of the men from building No. 5, which is located within few paces of the receiving station.

Let This Be the Answer Ultra Esthete Against

We cannot this without proper office ROOM nor

congestion in Washington about because apartments
are being used office for clerks. Over million
dollars year being spent for emergency office space in
this city, situation nequtable in the extreme and produc

Now comes the first big appropriation bill since
Swagar Sherey has been in charge of the House Committee
Appropriations with cleaEcut proposal drect 100000
square feet of concrete office building in Washngonon
land already owned by the United States The Government
plans to erect this huge office the Mall
Now listen to the uproar!
Outrageous to spoil the Mall Wrong to place this I'M
slightly thing the Lincoln Memorial Build it
where elsel
Gentlemen be reasonable It is extremely easy to find
fault; it will be extremely difficult suggest plan better
than Congressman Sherley's
Everyone connected with the plan regrets the necessity
for utilizing the Mall space but it is important win
the than to maintain unbroken vista at the foot Of
Seventeenth and streets northwest The who be-
hind the bill and who have framed this mammoth temporary
office plan have had experience in appropating money,
planning buildings for the Government and renting land
They know they temporarily spelling fine lot Of park
land and they wouldn't do unless appeared to be dire
necessity of war time.
So when with aesthetic soul raises his eyes
heaven and berates Congress for building office build
ing in Potomac Park tell your artistic friend that anyone
is to blame it is Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany.

himself out" on that ring until he
can pay for it-howsver much he
may wish to do 90.
In your case, Ned, I assume that
no such problem has presented
itself. II you are earning fifty dol
lars a week you must have saved
something; and no doubt you were
able to give her a nice ring with
out narrowing your soul or hers
over the question Of how you were
going to pay for It.
The next thing to give her Is
your perfect confidence.
Say to her something like this:
My salary IL fifty dollars
week. I've been keeping my liv-
Ing expenses within twenty-five.
l started out to save q hundred
dollars a monthLbut I haven't
been doing It / suppose I've been
frittering It away.
I've been working three years
and I've got q little over a thou
sand dollars In the bank, instead Of
the thirty-six hundred l ought to
have there.
"of course, I'd like to keep that
thousand In reserve for q rainy
day. The knowledge that Il Is
there will make US feel pretty COM
Portable. So we've got to save up
for furniture. How much shall we
save?
I'VE can save fifty dollars a
month and still have a good time.
We can go to the theaters once
or twice a week. to moving picture
plays and throw In an occasional
dinner and supper.
Or we can cut all these things
and save q hupdred a month.
Which do you want to do?
That puts It right up to the girl.
Her answer, Ned. will give you
pretty good line" on her. II she
is level-headed, sensible girl, she
will vote to save the hundred dol
lars every month.
II she IL a pleasure-loving young
thing who hesitates because she is
human and wants some good times,
don't beat your head against the
wall, Ned. and feel that you have
ruined your life by loving Lsr.
Look at the situation from her
point OF view.
The period Of her engagement
should be almost the happiest
period OF her life. II should be,
so far as possible, free from the
cares and anxieties that will come
later. The good times she has
