Result of Changing Age Limit

Discussing enlargement of the age
limit for selective military service,
Provost Marshal General Crozier said:
"A pronounced mojority of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there is great diversity of opinion as
to the proper age limit. Nineteen
and IS are perhaps the limits most
frequently sugg ested; but some recon-
mend 40 or As years as the upper limit.
There is a distinctly stronger de-
mand for raising the maximum age
than for lowering the minimum.
Gen. Crozier estimates that |, 389.
388 acceptable single men would be
made available by an increase in the
age limit to include men up to- IS years.
The estimate places the number of
acceptable single men between IL and
q years at 1,546,2 S3. The number of
probably acceptable single men already
registered but not called is 1891 ,845.
According to these figures, should the
age limit be enlarged to include men
from is years to As years, inclusive,
4,257,516 physically and otherwise
qualified unmarried men would be
open for call to service.

Nancy's mother has just finished
making her a dance frOck which she
is to wear at the final party of her
dancing class. It is filmy and crisp
enough to make a gauze-winged but
terfly envious--if butterflies could har-
Dor envy-and 1t Is exactly suited to
the graceful and slender little maid
and her gently froIicsome dancing.
Long will Nancy remember the glory
OF this frock and the painstaking work
and planning that make it such sue
cess.
The frock is made of swiss-organdie
flouncing, very sheer, very white and
very wide. The edge Of the f1ouncing
is scalloped, and each scallop frames
wreath Of dainty embroidery, made Of
small leaves and q single blossom.
Above this edge there are small, widely
scattered dots and above them a mar
row border of little embroidered bios
SONS and leaves. The scalloped edge
appears only on the skirt, for the dis
eliminating taste of Nancy's mother
teaches her that much decoration Is out
of place in the dress Of little children.
The skirt is laid in shallow, even
plaits at the top and joined tosa plain
baby waist ian which the en-
broidered border appears just above
the waistline. The sleeves are merely
short, pointed flounces, edged with fine
val lace whipped on to rolled
hem. A little cape hanging in points
from the shoulders anti at the front
and back, wells the embroidery in the
bodice and is edged with val lace.
The Dutch neck is cut square and fin
ished with a fine, narrow edging Of
lace also.
The sash, which suits so well the
daintiness of the Dress and the buoy
ant bow, which holds Nancy's hair,
are of wide, soft satin ribbon in light
sea green. just why this particular
color and shade are so convincing as
the best possible choice for a gossa-

viii Hold Conference.

Washington President Wilson will
begin series of conferences Wednes-
4day with congress leaders -Repub-
1ians and Democrats on all phases
of war legislation. For the first time
members OF both parties are to be
taken into the White house councils
an consideration of war legislation. In
-tflis way the administration expects
TO smooth out some difficulties which
confront the war program.
The pending bill to empower the
president to consolidate executive de-
partment functions and re-distribute
work among them, now openly OPP
posed by the Republicans, will be one
of the first subjects to come up The
purpose of the conference is to arrive
at some compromise on this subject
first. but there is every Indication
that they will be carried on through
out the war.
The presidents move is regarded as
the first step toward taking members
of both parties more into his conf
dence and toward calling Republicans
actively into the war councils.

ate planned consideration of the legis-
1ation the president wants, to give
him more freedom in reorganizing de-
partments and bureaus. Senator Over
man, chairman of the judiciary sub
committee, appointed to consider the
Dill, predicted favorable report. But
should congress decline to act, it was
said, the president feels that in a
large measure he now has, and is dis
posed to exercise, authority to effect
at least partially, such reorganization
as he thinks desirable.

The Eagle River Review and
Wisconsin Farmer One Year
For Only $500.

Desirable clubbing offers are very
scarce this year. We could line up a
list Of cheep magazines, but it is our
belief that time is too precious to
waste over them, as there is too much
good and worthwhile reading matter
procurable at sleight cost.
However, we have this proposition
which, we know, will be appreciated
by Wisconsin Farmer readers: We
offer The Eagle River Review an d
The Wisconsin Farmer, $3.50 worth Of
reading matter, for $500 for the year,
a saving of SO cents.
This offer will not permit Of any
premium inducement,' the PROPOSE
ton being good one and a money
saver in itself.

Using Bandanna cottons.

The Introduction of the Southern
bandanna cottons has been one Of the
results Of Americans looking to their
own country for ideas to incorporate
into French designs. A leading mill
liner of New York got in the Southern
resorts the inspiration to introduce
the brilliant cottons of that country
into fashionable apparel. Nothing
would more delight the Southern mills
than a widespread use of the materials
which they make in such beautiful de-
signs and such remarkably good weav-
ing.

For the first time, some Of our cap

an encouraging sign Of advancement

The same impulse that now causes men
and women to rise when the strains OF
"The Star spangled Banner" are heard
should cause them to salute when the
flag itself appears. The salute may
take the form Of wave Of the hand or
the unccvering Of the head, better the
latter. The President of the United

always salutes the flag, however often

Another Irish Revolt.

n 4 German-inspired revolt in Ireland
Is believed to have been ON the point
, Of outbreak when the British govern
ment issued a proclamation of dis
closure and prevention. That the gov
ernment acted none too soon to check
an uprising of serious proportions is
declared by the Dublin Irish Times,
which asserts that there is evidence
that the plot included the landing Of
German troops in Ireland, presumably
by means Of submarines.
That Ireland should be the scene Of
German intrigue is not at all surpris-
ing. The troubles Of the British gov
srnment with the home-rule question
IN 1914, it is known, were taken into
account by Germany in her calculation
that Great Britain would not enter the
var. Two years ago Sir Roger Case.
msnt waA sent over from Germany to
head Z revolt. He was caught on land
ing, and although the rebellion ragged
for few days. it was 50 promptly sup
pressed that it was thought there would
DO no further trouble. Apparently,
however, Germany has not given up
hope Of stirring the Irish into armed
Sssistanee to the British rule.
