Chicago, Feb. Fifty adventurous
young men to operate four tanks"
are wanted by Mai. w. II. Allen, of
the Sixty-fifth infantry, who opened
a recruiting office here today.
Major Allen promises recruits all
the thrill of the sea and the air, with
the safety of dry land-that is, the
safety which goes with breaking the
way for the men who go "over the
top.
There is also unusual opportunity
for promotion" Major Allen said, "as
there are two on-commissioned Off
GERS to every private in the regiment
which probably will be trained at
an eastern camp. The men must en-
list as privates, but they will be
selected for on-commissioned oftt-
GERS on the basis OF merit"

The veil, long loved of women, some
times undergoes n short period of re-
tlrement but is never wholly forgot
ten or neglected. Except for small
face wells and much abbreviated mo-
tor wells, the season just passing has
not occupied itself with this particu-
lar prerogative of womankind. Even
so the small-face veil, in considerable
variety, is a fact of every well-regu-
lated wardrobe. 1t is often inconspicu-
GUS to the point of being nearly invis-
ible. The plain, open-mesh varieties
of finest threads almost reach the van
ishing point. But signs and tokens
are pointing to the return of wells, and
suddenly they have appeared on all
four corners at once.
Some rather startling things happen
to the face when wells of fine mesh
that are hardly discernible, indulge in
one or two bold figures in applique
or embroidery. These figures can be
seen long before the veil itself comes
into view and they play curious tricks
on the eyes that follow them. Except
for the plain mesh face veil they are
the most popular Of the wells of today.

Sleeping garments are shown in
such variety of designs this season
that every lover of fine lingerie may
choose among night dresses, pajamas,
pantalettes with mandarin coats and
combinations that are neither night
gowns nor pajamas but a little Of
both. The two-piece garments are
mostly made Of crepe-de-chine or wash
satin, but night gowns remain fairly
faithful to fine cottons. Whether of
cotton or silk they are lace trimmed
or embellished with fine embroideries.
Flesh and pink are the favorite colors
for silk sleeping garments with en-
Droidery in the same color and laces
IN white. Occasionally white satin
mandarin coats are bordered with a
light color in satin, to be worn with
pantalettes to match. In the most
elaborate sets the coats are embroid-
cred in gay floral patterns in several
light colors.
Among the prettiest and most desir-
able of new night gowns there are
some specimens that are entirely home
made. They are of crepe-de-chine or
satin with Jokes or trimming of home
made crochet. Small medallions, much
like those that are familiar to us in
the Irish crochet iaces, are made of
col6red silk floss, matching the crepe
or satin to be used in the night dress
In color. The medallions are set in
about the neck and along the edge Of
the short sleeves, which are CT: in one

An example of this bit of feminine
waywardness appears in the picture,

half of the mouth and the other threat

ed to make us look twice at a pretty
face.
A becoming veil with the same sort
of mesh, has n very few widely scat
tered and wildly black dots on ii, that
are as sparkling as the black patches
of colonial days. These wells are
worn with small hats or turbans. An
other new design has small wavy lines
of embroidery mingling about all over
the mesh. This one is less becoming
than the dotted or plain patterns, hut
leads us to believe that women are
about to revive the veil and go to any
length with it. Wells that cover the
hat and reach to the shoulder hive al

Wells of chiffon wound about street

with the body of the garment. A mar
row beading and edge OF crochet fin
lshes the neck and baby ribbon thread
ed through the beading, provides the
means of adjusting the gown to the
shoulder.
In the night gown pictured, of flesh
pink satin, the crocheted yoke in the
same color has bands and figures in
pale blue worked into the pattern. If
longer sleeves are wanted, elbow
length ruffles of satin or plating of

GRANT IT NOW
From Milwaukee Journal

From Milwaukee Journal
1t is argued that suffrage should
not be granted to women until ref
erendum shall have been held to de-
termine whether they want the vote.
Besides being impractical and without
precedent in the admission. of classes
of people to the suffrage, this pro-
posal may be ruled out strictly on prin
ciple. To vote is actually the right
of any class which has sufficient
stake in the community and possesses
the necessary intelligence and sense
of responsibility. Participation in
public affairs of any group should de-
pend, not upon whether a majority
of the group desire SO to do or not,
but whether it constitutes an interest
which ought to receive representation
and whether its possession of the bal
lot would be beneficial to the public
welfare.
All of the usual arguments for con-
ferring the suffrage upon women be-
come doubly impressive when the re-
markable demonstration of their cap
abilities, and their zeal in wartime
is considered. We will be a bigoted
and ungrateful people, indeed, if we
fail to recognize the invaluable char
acter of their service in the war by
granting them political rights. Far
from being an inopportune time for
the passing of the suffrage amend
ment, it is psychologically the right
time. Woman has never deserved so
we'll of her country as now.
The passage of the Susan B. An
thony amendment need interfere with
no patriotic endeavor. In point of
fact, the amendment itself is a pa
triotic endeavor. It's enactment will
immensely improve the democratic
morale of the country.

LAID To REST

The remains of R. A Kruger, of
the Town Of Dexter, were laid to rest
in the Baskerville cemetery, Monday
September 9. The funeral services
were held from the house at o'clock
in the afternoon by Rev. O'Neil, of
Nekoosa.
The ailment from which Mr. Kreu-
ger died is what is termed persistent
enen1ic, a gradual turning of the blood
of the body into water. He had been
ailing for the past fifteen months,
and in late winter went to Rochester,
Minnesota, where he had an infusion
of young blood in his veins. For
time he felt very well but gradually
he weakened again and the time of
his last illness was short indeed.
He was born in Beran, Germany,
December 7, 1847, and at the age of
four years came to America with his
parents who settled first in Green
Lake county His advent into Wood
county was made in 1865, Immediately
after the Civil War and his residence
on che farm south Of Dexterville from
whence his body was removed Monday
has dated from. 1876, making him a
ranking pioneer of the Pittsville dis
trict.
He served his country throughout
the Civil War and was member of
the G. A. R. up to the time of his
death.
In 1870 he was married at Reeds
burg, in Sank county, to Agatha Har-
land, who survives him. Four chill
dren were born to this union, three of
whom are living, Mrs Francis E.
Ward, of Babcock, Mrs. Annie L.
Huntsicker, of Tomahawk, and Fred
rick W. Kreuger, Of Nekoosa, all of
whom were at his bedside when he was
called away.
Besides the above relatives to at
tend the funeral Monday were Mr..
and Mrs. George Harland and E. w.
Towers, of Mansion, Mr. and Mrs.
Ed. Kruger, of Cranmoor, Mr. and
Mrs. Van Wormer, of Cranmoor, Mr..

UNIVERSAL
MILITARY
TRAINING

The war conditions of the present
time has brought upon the state and
nation desire for Universal Military
Training Our schools are preparing
to give the students some military
training that will prepare them for
any future use that they might want
to take advantage of. Tuesday even
ing Messrs. Wilbur Hersch1eb, Frank
Abel and Carl Odegard, officers in Co.
K, gave about one hundred young
men their first military drill on the
High School grounds There is con-
siderable interest manifested on the
part of the High School boys and it
is hoped that the Wood County Train
ing School boys will join the move
ment. If this proves true probably two
or three companies can be formed and
then some organization can be per-
fected so as to give system and regu-
lation to the military training. Supt.
E. G. Doudna went to Wausau We'd
nesday to inspect the organization of
similar movement in that city. When
he returns there will probably be some
action along the line of organization
for permanent military training in
our public schools On Thursday ev-
ening the second drill will take place
at which time larger number are ex-
pected to be present This is a splend
id movement in the right direction.
