Frozen North-Balloons Not Likely to
Be Successful Because of Wind.
New York A vision of new and
mighty fields to conquer shone from the
narrowed eyes of Donald B. Macmillan,
who returned to New York after four
years leadership of the Croker Land
expedition, as he prophesied that sea-
planes would solve the mysteries of the
frozen north

He was talking at the American Mu-

DON'T SLACKEN UP YET

With the end of actual fighting ap-
parently drawing near, many of us
are inclined to slacken up in our wal
activities. Let's not begin too soon
It is estimated that it will take a
year or more to get all the men back
to the United States. In the meantime
they will still need the supplies that
they have needed before. Winter is
coming on and they will need warm,
knitted articles. After they have put
forth the best that is in them in this
war we must not let them contract
pneumonia, tuberculosis and other
diseases on account of lack of pro-
tecting garments.
There are also after this final drive
many more boys in the hospitals than
there have been at any time during
the war. They must be supplied with
hospital shirts, surgical dressings, and
magazines to read.
With the signing of peace, we will
have to send food into the territory
controlled by the Central Powers. Neu-
trails, too, will have to be considered
Don't begin taking things easy an
wasting for the fun of it too soon.

EVEN THE MUSICIAN
DOES FATIGUE WORK
Walter Roberts, M. U. Grad
duate, Says Band Men
Are Handy Men.
MAY GO TO SCHOOL
Says knowledge of French
Has Helped to Gain
Friends.

Musician Walter B. Roberts, an hon
or graduate of the University now with
the American ExpeditiOnary Forces in
France, in a letter to Clarence l..
Northcutt of the history department
of the University, writes as follows:
Your letter came yesterday and
was very welcome. l can't promise
to write very much for time in a
way is limited although we are band
men. But you see up here at the
front we do fatigue work of kinds,
carrying sand bangs, digging bitches,
carrying messages, cleaning up our
quarters and all around them and be-
ing handy men of all sorts.
$50 you see the job is far from be-
ing as safe as some would have you
imagine. l am glad that the band
man has his share too, especially in
the accounting that will come after
the war.
I'VE are living in dugouts that were
occupied by Fritzie until rather re-
Gently. In the town we rustled around
and found stoves, round tables, chairs,
dishes, cooking utensils and even
featherbeds, so you see we have some
of the comforts of home at least un-
til the Fritzie's big shells get to drop
ping around.
THE other night one OF Fritzie's
shells landed in our band storage
room two stories directly above our
dugout and succeeded in destroying 16
instruments, one of them one Of my
own which | had bought since coming
over here. l am sending it home so
perhaps you will get to see it. There
is a possibility that l may get to go
to band musicians school near -
for three months study as one of
about six from this band.
ITO be sure my knowledge Of
French has helped lot. l have made |
some fairly good friends among the |
French although peculiar customs

TELLS CHILDREN TO KEEP WELL
Poster Club Also Illustrates Other
Patriotic Services.

The Poster Club, a student organ
izatiOn of the University, under the
supervision of Miss Gladys Wheat, is
making patriotic posters to be sent
over the state in the interest of the
| Women's Committee of the National
Council of Defense. They tell the
aim of the committee, statewide or
ganization of women for patriotic ser
vice, and outline the departments of
work, child welfare, Americanization,
education, food, health, and recreation,
and women in industry.
The child welfare posters illustrate
the care of the eyes and teeth, cor
rect breathing, what to eat and what
not to eat. One poster, on the old
way, getting sick and then getting
well, shows a child in bed with the
doctor giving medicine. The new
way, keeping well, has a group of
three children, one washing his teeth,
another exercising, and the third
splashing in the tub.
Miss Ella V. Dobbs will use these
posters in her extension work. They
are in stencil designs, and can be du-
plicated any number of times. Posters
may be obtained through Miss Dobbs.
The Poster Club is an informal or
ganization. Any student interested in
the work may become a member by
paying a fee. Miss Eva Johnston, ad-
wiser of women, keeps a list OF the
members, and they are exempted from
other war work.

THE NEW BOOKS
.FrOm Baseball to BOches.'

The author. H. c. Witwer, gives in
these nine innings an interesting hu-
man picture of the American Army
in France. Surely the reader gets
more of the feeling that our men are
actually there and were giving up
their lives even as the men of the
other Allies have done.
The true American spirit is shown
here. 1t might almost be called brag,
except that it is so obviously put on
to cover up the real humility our men
feel before these nations who have
been carrying the burden so long.
Breezy, fun-provoking, rollicking as
the letters are, underneath there is
the realization of what the Germans
are and the fixed determination to
make them pay.

DOLLARS FOR IDEALS

Tomorrow the campaign for the
United War Activities fund begins.
Solicitors will call on the residents of
Columbia at their homes for their
subscriptions. There is little excuse
for anyone who doesn't give some
thing.
Buying Liberty Bonds in the right
spirit means an actual sacrifice to
many persons in moderate circumctan-
Ges. While a hundr dollars may not rep
resent a large sum of money, yet the
majority of people have to sacriiice
to withdraw this amount from the
family treasury. To some the price
of even a $50 bond is prohibitive. But
everyone, by really trying, can give
something to the United War Work
campaign because there is no mini
mum amount set for a persons ,nn-
tribution. If you can't give $40, give
S. or less. But give.
The seven organizations, united to
raise this fund, represent practically
the only sources of recreation and
pleasure of our fighting forces in
France. Far from the influence of
family and friends, with nothing to
give them pleasure, seeing always the
bloodshed and desolation of war, they
have only these seven war activities
to look out for their welfare. The hut
of the Y NJ. c. A. or the Knights of
Columbus or the Jewish Welfare
Board is home to them. 1t is place
where they can gather during their
leisure hours, write letters, talk, hear
lectures, see picture shows and other
amusements and forget for a time the
heart-rending scenes they must view
in the trenches and the ever-Iresent
grim specter of death.
With the end of life ever in sight,
soldiers are likely to grow careless
and reckless. If no good and safe
form of amusement offers itself, they
are likely to indulge in harmful activ-
ities and temptations which are never
far away.
We as Nation want the men who
have offered themselves for the sake
of liberty and freedom to remain clean
in mind and heart. Because they
are fighting for US, we must look out !
for them. 1t will benefit us little. if |
in winning our battles, they lose their
own ideals.
1t is our duty to keep them happy |
and to keep temptation away from
them as much as possible. To do this,
we must furninsh them wholesome
amusements.
We can not each in person go to do
our part but we can give our dollars
to the workers of the United War Ac-
tivities who are already there, with
the knowledge that they will be used
to the best advantage
