barracks are good modern buildings,

At one of the barrack-nurseries
there are more than 800 children.
Some are babies of few days old,
and the Oldest Is not over ten years
Most of these children are orphans.
Some few Of them have mothers who
are working in fields and factories to
help France win the war.
And these little folks are receiving
the first intelligent care of their lives.
Skilled American doctors are in
charge of the kitchens, and expert

I'M ade in Germany"

It is a maxim old as warfare that enemies should always remember that they will by and by be friends and therefore commit no act that will make future friendship difficult or insncere. The Germans have deliberately dsregarded the maxim, and they must take the consequences, for however the may end the conduct of it by Germany has built up the most intimate friendships among all the peoples who. are fighting against Germany, and has earned for Ger many itself the most intense abhorrence.
 Do hate the Germans? No hate is not the word We do not hate the wild beast that lies in bush to spring upon and such blood We do not hate the sneak thief the midnight assassin We look upon them without anger, but something that must be destroyed, and do make friends with them even when they profess to reform and give up their evil practices
 We shall not be friends with the Germans All such ntimacies exchange professorships honorary degrees for their eminent scholars, visits be- tween their country and ours-all the official tesies and hospitality that in other days have been in terchanged between Americans and Germans-are things of the past Perhaps the Germans will reconcile themselves to the situation contentedy as we But kutur does disdan world wide trade in articles produced by German industry movement to thwart the Germans in any conquest of foreign kets has made great progress in momen tum every day. Through their national organizations English and French sailors have pledged themselves not to serve ship engaged in trade to Germany from it.
 They first set time that the boycott should last and now they add month for every act of mari time brutality, such sinking hospital ship. Com mercia bodies in all the countries the Allies are making agreements not to sell for export Germany and not to buy German goods after peace is re- stored. Governments considering by what laws they can encourage trade to their Allies and block trade with Germany. Private citizens everywhere are deciding for themselves that hereafter they ther buy nor use articles made in Germany
 All such can be carried into effect if the Allies win What if they should lose? Even the most overwhelming would not enable conquerors to control either the sentiments of individuals choice of those with whom they will trade; there fore, the ability to boycott all things German would remain. Indeed such victory would intensity the feelings that led to the boycott.-From the Youths Companion.

Presidents and Justices of the Peace

We arc not familiar with the law, not familiar that we would bet opinion, but this controversy whether She local courts the federal government has Jurisdiction over who has been called into the military service and who before after the call but before his complete induction commits a crime against the state laws ought to be easily settled theft of automobile. He has been held for trial the charge. He has also called into the mli- tary service.
 We will suppose that instead of stealing auto mobile he had committed murder What then would be done with him? We not think that there would be any question to the course that would be pursued
 Under the selective draft many men in jail for petty offenses have been allowed taken without objection by the local authorities. In several local cases men charged with petty crimes have been all lowed to enlist in the army navy and their enlist ment has been made condition of the discharge of the complaints against them. Probably in this case no effort will be made to hold the prisoner now in the county jail
 In this incident the question has been asked has justice of the peace more authority than the president of the United States?" That is a question which cannot be answered by "Yes' or "No" Neither has any inherent power. He has only what the con- stitution and the laws give him. The president has certain conferred which are withheld from justices of the peace and justices the peace are clothed with certain authority with which the pres- dent has not been endowed.

SPELLING
 As Handled
 At the HANSON Business College 28 West Washington St. Phoenix, Arizona

Includes many things besides nam ing the letters correctly in a word. In our beginning spelling class stu dents learn to take dictation in long hand and to write each word cor rectly the first time. Students are not allowed to blot out, erase. mark up or change their words or writing in any way. They learn the inn portance of accuracy. We have four recitations each week in which the students are permitted to study their spelling lessons. In the fifth recitation the matter is written from dictation without previous prepara- ton. Words misspelled by either method are written by the students
 repeatedly until they become fla miliar with them. All advanced stu dents in typewriting do all this work from dictation on the typewriter. In this class the students learn every possible use of the typewriter. They acquire an experience in few weeks equivalent to as many months in an ordinary office.
