THIS IS THE DAY OF CHOCOLATE IN
 OREGON

Chocolate Bar Days," when con- tributions are taken to buy chocolate bars for the Oregon boys in the ser vice, is the latest plan of college girls at the Oregon State Agricultural Col lege. Women of the Home Economics Department of this school are also supplying boxes of food to the col lege boys who have gone. at a re- markedly small price. They have sent 200 boxes filled with war cake, fruit, confections, nuts, popcorn balls, oatmeal cookies, and salted peanuts, to the Oregon men at the cost of 20 cents a box. The candies were all made of sugar substitutes, such as honey and corn syrup.
 A card index of the 1000 University of Washington men now in the Army and Navy is being compiled by girls at the University of Washington in Seattle, so that the former students may be supplied with the college daily paper. This file of college boys in service is in working order at many of the colleges. Promotions, changes of addresses from camp to camp, etc. are noted in order that weekly letters in addition to personal mail, will be sure to reach them,

LYRIC

It was not so long ago that Cap tain Kidd, Jr.,' played in this city to prices that made view of the piece out of the Q6estion to many Lyric patrons but did not eliminate the de sire to see the piece. MT. 6. Z- Poli has made another one of his many promises good and Lyric patrons are to see the play at prices within the bounds of reason forea~comeuy of this type.
 In view of the fact that the piece is one of the more recent New York and national successes and it's release for stock presentation of only a few days back there must naturally be a. keen interest in knowing who have been cast in the roles assumed by thee orig inal company.
 In that first company it will be re- membered there were Edith Talia- ferro, Zelda Sears, Adele Roland, Otto Kruger, Ernest StaIlard, Charles Brown, Charles Dow Clark, Elmer lGrandin, Edward Snader, Lincoln lPIumer, Westcott Clark and Ali De- Coursey.

ETIQUETTE

If you are not sure that evening dress is to be worn at the entertain ment you are going to attend, it is proper to ask about the costume for the occasion.
 Edward-People who conform strict ly to convention maintain that a young man should never ask young lady to marry him anywhere except ing in her fathers house, and surely that is the best and most suitable set ting for a proposal of marriage. How ever, young people are so unconven- tional and generally independent these days that the question is likely to be popped" at any convenient time and place. There is one rule, nevertheless, which a man of fine sensibilities will instinctively observe he will not ask young lady to marry him while she is in his home, whether she is making a visit or merely spending the evening. After being accepted, the young man should go to the girls father at the earliest possible moment and ask his consent to the marriage, at the same time giv- ing an account of his finances and his prospects.

GIRL SCOUTS MAKE TRENCH CANDLES
 FOR SOLDIERS

The. men in camp find trench can- dies convenient when they want to warm up a cup of coffee or a bowl of soup, or when they wish to read in an unlighted portion of camp or field.
 The Brownie" members of the Girl Scouts of Washington spend a portion of their time each week in making these trench candles, which are handed to the Red Cross for dis tribution.
 Trench candles are made by cutting cut eight full length column strips from a. newspaper. The first strip is rolled as tightly as possible, then the other six strips are rolled carefully around this foundation, one by one, until compact cylinder is formed. This is tightly tied with thread, then it is boiled for half an hour in par affin, when it is taken out and cool ed. When it has become cold it is treated to another boiling bath in the paraffin for another half hour, and when cooled for the second time it is ready for use.

WASHINGTON GIRL SCOUTS GIVEN
 DAILY DRILL

Washington Girl Scouts are being trained in military drill. This inter poIaton of the military idea into the scout movement at first sight appears to be at variance with previous con- captions of the scout plan, which since its inception has been opposed to mili- tarism in any of it's phases. It is not, however, with the idea of preparing it's corps for military service that drill has been undertaken, but simply as a measure of producing greater ef- ficiency.
 Military drill makes for instantane ous obedience and response and ulti mate efficiency, and these are essen tials to the best team work demand ed of the Girl Scouts of today. All play, as play, has ceased in Girl Scout organizations of the country, and ef- forts are all being directed toward serious war work. "Woman's work cut down to girl size" is the way it has been expressed. Out of the rec .ords which the girls are making to- day will be built the homes of the future.
 The Girls Scout organization in Washington is already cooperating with the government in several of it's departments. It is linking up with the States Relations Service of the Department of Agriculture in the Boys and Girls club work of the lat ter; with the Food Administration in the preparation of, and giving in- struction in, war-emergency foods; in the Bureau of Education in the mat ter of Americanization of aliens; and with the Department of Labor in as- sisting to bring the jobless men and women to the bureau of that depart ment which seeks to fit each man and each woman to his or her right place in the national service of today.

SHUBERT

At 6the Shubert theatre, New Ha- ven, the entire week of Feb. 4, with Tuesday excepted, the Messrs. Lee and J. J. Shubert will present for the first time on any stage Al Jolson and his supporting company from the New York Winter Garden in the newest and most pretentious, of extravaganzas 'tSinbad." Al Jolson is so widely and favorabIy known that he needs no in- troduction to p1aygoers of this Ticin- ity, and the same is true of the Win ter Garden as an institution from which emanates the best entertain ments of the type most aptly desig- mated as made up fun and frolic.
 ''Sinbad'' alone is new and it is proudly acclaimed the greatest achievement of the Winter Garden It is primarily an extravaganza of the most pronounced type. It is an or iental story, treated in the extrava- gant, spectacular and prof1igate man. ner that the subject suggests. Who has not revelled in the joys of the Arabian Nights" and who does not enjoy personal acquaintance with -E'Sinbad."
 Al Jolson, greatest of American ! comedians, is the life of the play, but
 he does not play the title role. In- stead, he is seen as "Inbad, the DOT | ter" Forrest Huff, one of the best tenors before the American public plays the role of ''Sinbad." Law
 renee D'Orsay, Kitty Doner, Mabel | Withee, Messrs. Grace and Berkes Franklin Battle and Harry KerIey ] who were associated with MT. Jo1sor I in Robinson Crusoe, IT," are with ] him again in his newest vehicle.

When Women Do the Work.

As. the great majority of the men in Bulgaria are serving under the col ors, during the past two. years most of the work on the farms in Bulgaria has been done by women, according to Consul-General Dominic I. Mur- phy in Sofia, but both harvests were very abundant. During the Balkan war the farm work was likewise done by the women, and in that year the crops proved to be excellent. This incident brought forth the following Bulgarian saying, "The lord blesses the harvest when the women do the work

FOREIGN WOMEN OF GREAT AID IN
 WAR WORK

That foreign women in the United States are volunteering to work for Uncle Sam and the Allies is evident from the registration taken by the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense. There have been many reports of Italian women doing Red Cross work or buying Liberty bonds. Polish women, Russians, Por- tuguese. and Japanese offer ali sorts of service. The Chinese were fea- ture in Chicago's registration. But the last report is possibly the most striking of all, for in Idaho, Basques are volunteers.
 'There never was such a test of our melting pot as this which is on us now,'' says the Woman's Committee, land the response of the many aliens who are with us has Leen as touch ing as it is magnificent

on Monday, followed by the annual meeting of the board, with reports of the chairmen of committees and election of officers of the association for the coming year. The luncheon will be under the direction of Mrs. w. J. Nichols and the other members of the cafeteria committee and serv- ed by Mrs. Idella Ellsworth, the ca feteria director. It will be a war menu. About seventy-five guests are expected.
 In spite of the fact that moving is planned for Thursday, most of the activities of the week will go on as usual. The educational classes have finished their first terms work and are having their scheduled vacation week between terms. The new rooms will give much better facilities for class work and it is hoped that the new term to open next week will have a large registration. The classes of fered are dressmaking, millinery, en- broidery and knitting, cooking, Eng fish improvement, French, Spanish, nursing, dramatic expression English for foreigners.
 In order to meet the war emer- gency and to outline a general field for development of extension work with women in cities, the States Re lation Service of the United States De- partment of Agriculture have pre- pared a suggestive program which emphasizes immediate stress on the 4I,s and income. It is believed that the lines of effort briefly indicated here will make a special appeal to thought full city women at this time, as av nues for national service, and as a, means for the expression of the new patriotism that looks not only to the present but to the future.
 This program offers women a chance to help reduce the intensity of the human struggle for existence so that problems of mere subsistence may be solved in such a way as to leave a residue of strength, time and income for the development of high CT intellectual and spiritual values. The text is the interpretation of con servation as ''the greatest good to the greatest number for the longest period of time.
 Miss M Estella Sprague, Home Economics Director of the Connecti- cut Food Administration and Chair man of the Committee on Food Sup ply for the Women's Council of the National Defense, will explain this program at an open meeting to be held in the Art League rooms, Sta pies building, State street, Wednes- day, Jan. 3Oth, at o'clock.
 Miss Sprague has been connected with the Extension Department of the Connecticut Agricultural College for a number of years and has been loan ed by the college to the Food Ad- ministration during the war emer- gency. Miss Sprague is a woman with magnetic personality and her close connection with the United States Department of Agriculture previous to the war makes her ex- plantation of the conservation pro- l Or-a1 of I11n

Nothing to Say for Publication.

When I learned of his visit to the
war zone. I asked Representative
Sherley to talk about his Impressions.
He said that he hadn't thing to say
for publication. And he stuck to it.
He was surprised that the secret
had gotten out. And probably the
public will be surprised, too. For
here is a representative who is up
for reelection next fall, too. and in a
district where the race may be very
close. And he hasn't seen fit to cap
italize his journey abroad for politi-
cal purposes, as some other members
Of Congress have done: But Repre-
sentative Sherley isn't that kind. He
has been in Congress for sixteen
years. He Is q man Of positive
views. He hasn't been popular with
some members of his party because of
his independence Of views and will
ingness to vote his convictions, re-
