them could ever mean anything like
as much to me as he does now. l
want to marry him this summer,
but don't know whether to do it or
not. There is one objection to our
marriage, that is by my family. He
has a brother and a sister. who, at
times, are not exactly in their right
minds, but they are not what any
one would call crazy. Do you think

l would not advise you to marry
the boy. There may be bad streak

thing you can do will be to get adj
vice from a physician who knows
the boys family, and you also if
possible.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am %
years old. Last Saturday l went
to a Sunday school picnic. Our
class has one every month. The
girls and boys go alone and usually
the boys take the girls home. Out
siders also attend these picnics.
There is one young man who has
been in the habit of taking me
home. Saturday another young
man asked me for the first dance
before my regular partner had a
chance. 1t cost him rs cents for the
evening-50 cents for himself and
! % for a lady. He had never gone
to any of our picnics before and so
! did not know him. At FIRST l was
disappointed because he asked me,
because he was about three years
younger than l am He danced so
we'll that l preferred him to my
regular partner before the evening
was over
Later in the evening my regular
partner told me that We would go
nome on the IL O'Clock car and ask
ed me if I had anything checked
that he could get for me. l didn't
know what to do, because l didn't
know WHICH boy l should go home

to set free a fighting man is help
ing to fight and win the war.
And it is every mans duty to
give that share of help. That duty
to work, and to work effectively, is
the foundation of the new measure.
Work or fight There is no alter
native.
''Now, many of the men of draft
age in deferred classes 2, 8 and 4,
deferred, that is, on grounds of de-
tendency, are not engaged in effec-
tive industry. The spectacle is not
| satisfying one of contingent of
drafted men from class l being
marched down the street to camp
while other men of their own age,
watching them from the windows,
remain behind to sell cigarettes or
dispense soda fountain drinks,
solely because they have received
| deferment on grounds of depend
ency. If these men of the same age
are TO stay behind let them at least
get into work more effective to help
the war. Their deferment takes
them out of military service and yet
serves no economic war purpose
whatsoever. They are of military
age, and therefore have the pri-
mary duty to do war work. If
their dependency gives them defer
ment from immediate military war
work, let them at least do some
thing economically useful to main
tain the nations welfare while at
war. They should get into some
useful and effective occupations or
else forfeit their deferment from
military service. The alternative is
a fair one.
This regulation, therefore. does
not affect any person outside of
draft age, except indeed that it
will offer him more opportunities of
employment than before. The place
left vacant by the men within draft
age will now be filled by men of
older or younger ages and by
women. The limited list of nom
effective employments was in part
selected with a view to this very
fact that the work in those occu-
pationS could as well be performed
by older or younger men or by
women. These men who are of
military age will either go into
military service or will go into oc-
equations more necessary for the
national welfare, where there is an
| untitled demand for additional man
power. They will be replaced, to
the extent that they need replacing,
by the others not liable to military
service.
This is natural and logical
consequence of the vast withdraw
ais for the army. Nearly three mil
lion men are said to have gone into
camp or into the navy 1t Is a simple
and obvious fact that If the army is
to be a national one in the fullest
sense, the places left vacant by the
| fighters stepping forward out of the
ranks of civic industry must be
filled by new workers, and the
places vacated by them must be
in turn filled by still others, and so
on, until the ranks have been closed
up and the whole man power has
been utilized in requirements.
The need is insistent and the de-
mand is universal for systematic
nationwide organization Of the
man power that is now either idle
or non-effectively employed"

Launch Learn to-
Swim Campaign

The Patriotic league. working
through the war camp community
service, is shortly to launch learn
to-swim campaign among all the
young women of the three cities.
The Augustana college gymnasium
pool has been secured and will be

corps of instructors viii be on
hand every day to assist the girls
in learning the art Of swimming.
The fee is small, being placed at %
cents a month. Details are now
being worked out by the Patriotic
league officials and will be ready for
publication soon.
The recent terrible disaster at
pekin cannot help but impress upon
the minds of every one the neces-
sity OF learning to swim. Those on
the i'll fated steamer that sank in
the Illinois river who we're able to
swim easily reached shore; the 9TH
ers found death in a Watery grave.
knowledge of swimming also adds
to every girls efficiency. She
quickly learns how to take care Of
barcoIf CeTfraIianTa and confidence
in her ability to do things.
1t is hoped that every tri-city girl
will make a very special effort TO
enter one Of the classes in swim
ming. To protect herself each girl
will be required to have physi-
clans certificate of health. Details
in securing certificates, tickets
hours for using the pool and other
matters are being worked out
rapidly.

would find it much easier to match
the pattern and the paper is less

saves time and trouble. When patch

should be gone over with a solution
of one ounce of alum TO one quart
