of Northumberland is the war offices
spokesman to American newspaper
reporters. He succeeded General
Maurice.
He meets with the reporters twice
a week-Tuesday and Fridays-and
tells all about the latest movements
Of the allied armies throughout the
world.
The Duke is a most democratic
chap. There isn't any question he
won't answser.
A blackboard, cane, maps of all
battle fronts, and shorthand re-
porter are the Dukes equipment for
these newspaper conferences.
BY all the rules Of the game over
here the Duke is entitled to be ad-
dressed as "Your Grace"
An American CORRESPONDENT
shocked an official the other day
when he inquired if the Duke had
arrived to see the newspapermen.

The American appeared crest
fallen at such a blunder, but was re-
stored to normal a second later when
a slap on the shoulder brought him

laughing.

porters' room.

away from them?"
WELL" laughed Raleigh. if, as you
and the other menshiviki say, the
granting of these privileges is going
to take them away from the home,
you might get away from them by
going home occasionally. 1t would
be a novel experience for good
many men I know"
"Oh, all right" said Henry. They've
landed you-that's very clear. But
they're not going to land me. This
thing won't go through without a
good stiff fight. I'll get hold of Napo-
leon and Brigham Young and Mark
Antony, and we'll show you gamo-
philes that you can't steam roller

Raleigh roared with laughter. You
have another guess coming, Hen" he
said. Napoleon is for it: he told me
so this afternoon. Josephine sent him
a carbon copy of some of his old
love letters and told him she'd give
them to Boswell for the Gehenna
Gazette If he didn't sign up, and he
signed. AS for Brigham Young, he
doesn't care which way it goes, SO he
submitted the question of how he
should vote on it to referendum OF
his wives, and they voted yes by a
ballot Of forty-f1ve to eight"
THAT can't be-" said Henry. "Brigs
only got forty-seven wives, and forty
five and eight are fifty-three."
81 know" said Raleigh; but six OF the
ladies voted both ways"
'Zounds!" cried Henry. What are
we coming to?"

New Training Course
for Health Officers

An intensive training course for
n health officers" will be given
during the summer at Mount Holyoke'
South Hadley, Mass. This will be
started at the request Of the woman
branch of the industrial service section
of the Army ordnance department. ac-
cording to the announcement by LII.
Kristine Mann, health supervisor OF
the section.
Teachers of the principles OF NY
eiene and healthful living. who Will
work among women in the munltioh
plants and government factories are
to be trained by this course WHICH
will begin June 26 and end August zl.'
Candidates will be recruited from Two
groups of women, of ages between
twenty-five and thirty-hve years
those who are graduates of physical
education schools and have had salts
factory teaching experience. ana those
who have had industrial experience
such as the supervision of women In
factories The school Will be nnancea
by a woman interested in the healtn
of women in industry and the students
will pay $40 week for room ana
board. 80
'iThe idea of these health super
visors is to prevent women working
in factories and munition plants from
becoming homesick," said DR.. Mann
"Thefr duty will be to stimulate
girls interest in her health and make
her intelligent concerning the prin-
ciples of normal living. The usual
trouble with woman workers Is that
they get no real exercise. When you
tell them that, their usual answer Is
that they exercise through their
work. However. regular exercise out
side working hours develops girls
strength. The amount that worker
can do is increased by this care: The
constructive work of these health su.
pervisors supplements the Work Oh
the regular doctors"
Courses in the school will include
physiology. industrial medicine; fac
will s,1peryise the course in economics
and special lectures will be given by
specialists in various fields.
