States, lieut.. Col. Edouard de Billy,
was the commencement orator. Five
hundred national army men in training
at the college formed the commence.

A GALL FOR MEMS SHIRTS

The women workers find that dress
es can be made fom mems shirts and
as they are such good materials, they
are utilized for that purpose. Look
over your supply and see how many
have served their purpose for you and
can be donated to the cause.
The Camp Fire girls will call for
these If notified.
Can You Help.
To provide wind-proof waist
coats for soldiers and sailors?
To employ on useful work, wo-
men distressed through the war
and unable to go into work shops?
To utilize for those purposes in
interest of national economy, ma

One of the greatest hardships of a
winter campaign is the suffering from
icy winds on land and sea. Leather
is the only protection.
The Glove-Waistcoat Society SUPP
plies leather coats by utilizing waste

society begs most earnestly for sup

No money contributions are asked.
The finger tips of the gloves are
converted into glue, the buttons sewed

The linen cuttings are made into

Many people have adopted this idea
and make the waistcoats themselves,
