Christian EItdeavor's Service Flag

T iOiH liit CHt tStldI I1eTdlu,
 The officers of the United Society o. Christian Endeavor have made a care ful canvass in many parts of the coun try to find out the average number ot Christian Endeavorers in each society who have enlisted in their country s service It has been found that on the average more than five to a society have already enlisted, and a service flag con : taining one star for each thousand Endeavorers in the service, with the figures, '1400 000' in the center, was un- furled by the United society at a great meeting ill Fremont temple in Boston. where hundreds were turned away who could not gain admittance. If the En- deavorerS ir Canada, Australia, Great Britain and the other allied countries had been reckoned in, fully twice that number would appear upon the service flag of the Worlds Christian Endeavor union, as even a larger proportion have gone from the countries which have beer. longer in the war In some regiments it has been found that nearly one-tentfs of the boys have belonged to such so- cietieS, and many temporary societies have been formed in the various can tonments. These societies work hand in hand with the Y. M c. A secre- taries, mos. of whom have been Chris tian Endeavorers in days past, and the societies are welcomed as distinct and important religious influence by the Y. M. c. A.

BLIND SOLDIERS ARE TAUGHT ID
 EARN LIVELIHOOD
France and England Estab- fish System of Electrical Construction Training
 Originated in U. s.

London, May 2S-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Blinded sol diers of France and Great Britain are being taught to earn their living doing electrical construction, following the system originated by an American, Dr. Schuyler S. Wheeler, who recently re- turned to New York after spending three months here and in France, in- troducing the work.
 In its present stage the blind are taught to insulate coils for motors and dynamos and do a certain amount of assembling pr. Wheeler founded a blind workroom for this work about a year ago in Ampere. N. J. where he is president of a large concern man. ufacturing electrical machinery
 When it became known that the blind were able to do the work and to earn good ivings in competition with sighted workers" the French government invited Dr. Wheeler to come to France and teach the blinded soldiers. Subsequently, through Dr. Arthur Pearson, the British authorities invited pr. Wheeler to come to Eng land
 In France two large electrical work rooms have been started for the blind ed soldiers. The French branch of a large American electrical manufac- turing company has founded one at their works in Neuilly- sur Marne, where more than 500 will be installed. Rene Vallery- -Radot, president of the council of the Pasteur institute. vice president of the Society of the Friends of Blind Soldiers and son-in-law of the great Pasteur, has founded the other at Versailles, where several hun dred soldiers are receiving instruction.
 Tn England. the British Electrical and AJlied Manufacturers association, through Hugo Hirst, president of the General Electric Company, Ltd, work ing with Sir Arthur Pearson. head of St. Dunstans and leader in the move ment to, aid the blinded soldiers, has agreed 10 foster the movement and give employment to all the blind who may be fitted for the work.
 Sir Arthur is most enthusiastic over the introduction of this new industry for the hlind The sincere gratitude of the blind community of this coun- try he said yesterday ''is due to Dr. Wheeler for his public-spirited and generous action in making the dan gerous journey from the United States in order to give the benefit of his prac- tical experience and advice. I have every hope that his action will mean congenial and profitable employment to hundreds, or perhaps thousands of blind"
 In addition to the soldier blind. 1t Is intended ito teach the work to a large number of blind women of the United Kingdom. for whom there is now practically no employment.

Nowadays, though, we don't have

this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is
that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications,
it also produces that soft lustre and
appearance of abundance which is
so attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is a delightful toilet
