TO EDUCATE
YOUNG DRAFTEES
Plans for Continuing Education of
Youths Between 18 and 21.

Plans for continuing the education
of youths between the ages of 18 and
81 years inclusive after they have been
registered under the draft law and
while they are waiting to be called in
to the service are being formulated b7
a committee on education and training
of the War Department. Details of
the proposal which is to be submitted
within few days to the general staff
for its approval were revealed Mon
day by the Senate military committee
in making public the testimony of DR..
Z. K. Mann of the War Department
who appeared before it in connection
with the pending man-power bill.
A list of $50 colleges at which the
youths between 18 and Fl years are to
undergo military t1aining has already
been prepared. At these schools they
can become candidates for particuIa,
positions in the army suited to their
qualifications. Those especially adapt
ed for commissions will be given spe-
cial training. All are to be enlisted
IN the student army training corps.
During the hearing DR.. Mann re.
vealed that the War Department is
discouraging the establishment of mil.
ltary courses by various colleges.
I'VE do not want the school to sci
up a school requirement of military
training" DR.. Mann told the commit
tee, but we want the thing to come
from the government. Enlistment
gives a reality to it and since they will
have real army officers it gives a sna1
to it that the school cannot get by ani
OF Its own requirements in the ma
ter.
1T becomes real war department
matter, not school requirement"
DR.. Mann told the committee Their
are about 700 men between 18 an,
~ years of age now attending col
leges, while of the 100000 in the hig]
schools about 100000 are above i
years of age.

MISS BICKFORD VOLUNTEERS.

Camden has the distinction of having
one of it's daughters answer the call to

patton of the United States in the war on
the side of the allies has been the tele-
phone service a la American which the
Yanks have introduced in France and
which would not be complete unless OPP
Grated by real live daughters of Uncle
Sam. Miss Christie V. Bickford, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs James Bickford of
Camden, fer the past seven years an OPP
orator and supervisor in the Camden and
later the Rockland exchanges of the New
England Tel. & Tel Co, is claimed by
both Camden and Rockland. She promptly
volunteered when recent call came and
was promptly accepted, having already
left to do her bit for the cause and 1t is
no little bit that these courageous young
women are doing in Sunny France.
Miss Bickford received her telephone
training under Miss Mabel Spear at
Rockland who has been long identified
with the telephone in Rockland When
one speaks of the telephone in Rockiand
he always thinks of Miss Spear at the

WAR CAUSING NEW ACTIVITY
Conditions Compel the Adoption ct
New Schemes to Fit the Purse and
Cpportunties-No One
Fashion Prevails.

New York.-FashOns are rarely
fixed, but never have they seemed to
f1uctuate more fluently and perVersely
than now. 1t does not need a Diogenes
with n lantern, asserts foremost fash
ion writer, to find the reason for this
condition. Certain raw materials are
lacking; labor grows scarcer every mo-
ment, although it shouldn't with SO
many women to be employed, and the
designers put out in the morning what
ever they dream of at night.
To the observer these days are fas-
chatting To the woman who thinks
she has settled the question of clothes
for an entire season by buying her cos
tunes at the beginning of it, the Still
ation is not only perpleXing but irri-
tating.
It is quite useless for the world to
go against human nature by preaching
standardization Of apparel or 1000. we
will not eat the same dishes three
times a day 1855 days in the year, and
we will not wear the same gown ten
hours a day for twelve months. Ii we
can't get raw materials to diversity our
food and apparel, at least we can slim
ulate the appetite and the eyes by mix
ing what we have into new forms.
Everyone Plays on Fashions.
Viewed from the airplane point Of
view. it looks as if the entire world
of women will attempt to bring out
something new in clothes for them
selves or for their neighbors.
This does not mean that they have
ceased to work for the Red Cross. 1t
only means that such work has in
tensified their desire to dress well be-
fore the public, and has brought them
into such an active current of air that
they see new things and think of them
with brains that might have been al
most atrophied from inaction before
the war. Stimulate a brain in one d.
rection, you know, and it reacts in all
directions.
Stimulation is the heart and soul OF
life, and it is undoubtedly the means
of producing the very best kind of
national dressing 1t will cause wom-
an to rebel against looking as If she
belonged to procession in which every
member must dress alike. 1t kindles
a flame in the brain, which heats it up
and makes it respond to whatever
there is in it of creative power.
Therefore, every woman becomes her
own designer. She no longer goes to
q shop and takes the gown that she is
assured Everyone is buying once
she regarded that phrase as the de-
cree of power; today she listens to 1t
with shrug of her shoulders and
usually insists that that's the last gown
she wants to buy.
Heretofore the woman with slender
opportunities and rare contact with the
outside world chose her clothes blind
folded, led by the hand of the sales
woman to whatever was cut by the
hundreds and sold by the thousand

Suggestions for the
Conservation of Sugar

L. No adult should eat more than four
tablespoons of sugar per day. A part of
this amount may be in the form OF honey,
syrup or any other equivalent sweet.
2. Reduce to a minimum the amount
of sugar used in beverages. Many beVer-
ages are served sWeeter than they need
be and sugar is often left in the cup or
glass in which they are to be served.
3. If cereals are prepared carefully,
sailed and thoroughly cooked, they will
be palatable without the addition of sugar,
If the sweet taste is desired sweeten the
cereals with fruits rather than sugar
for example, raisins and dates can be
used with oatmeal.
4. Use recipes calling for less sugar,
especially for cakes and other desserts;
substitute corn syrup, sorghum, honey,
apple syrup and other fruit syrups for
this sugar.
S. Use more fresh, dried and canned
fruits and less sugar will be desired.
E. Omit rich, heavy desserts requiring
sugar, such as buildings with rich sauces,
iced cakes and sugar pies.
7. When sugar is craved, buy fruits
instead of candy, ice cream and soft
drinks. Fruits will be better for the body
and the substitution will render a patri-
otto service.
8. Give children fruit, fruit juices,
fruit breads and fruit cookies instead of
candy and rich cake.
Any woman may conserve sugar by
substituting honey, syrup or molasses in
the recipes which she uses. Any one of
the following is equivalent in food value
to one cup of sugar:
1 cup maple syrup,
1 cup sorghum,
As cup cane syrup
cup honey.

How much the heart may BEAR and yet not break!
How much the flesh may suffer- and not die!
| question much if any pain ache
OF soul or body brings end more nigh;
Death chooses his own time; till that is sworn
All evils may be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching ILL.,
We seek some small escape; we weep and pray;
But when the blow falls, then hearts are still;
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn,
But that it can be borne.
We wind life about another life;
We hold it closer dearer than our own
Anon it faints and ais in deathly strife,
Leaving us stunned, and stricken, and alone!
But all we do not die with those mou1n,-
This also can be borne.
Behold we live through all things-famiDe, thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inflcts its worst
On soul and body-but we cannot die.
Though we be sick, and tired and faint, and worn,
Lo all things be borne
