BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE
BEGUN BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, October 27.-With the
view of inducing children of school
age to keep on with their studies in
stead of going to work, a back to
school" drive has been started by the
children's bureau of the department
of labor The drive will be conducted
through the child conservation section
OF the Council of National Defense
and committees will be appointed in
each of the 2S1 900 school of the coun-
try.
Investigations of the children's bn'
reau have shown that large numbers
of children are leaving schools TO
take advantage of the high wages
now being paid instead OF studing 10
train themselves to fill the many
skilled positions which will be open
after the war The drive has been
planned to counteract this tendency.
Recognizing that the wages OF
children are needed in many case TO
supplement the family income ar
rangements have been made by the
bureau with the Red Cross to help
the child stay in school,

LONDON THEATRES SHOW
NOW FOR SOLDIERS

London, Sept. 17.-Thls month has
been notable in London theatres for
the reason that so few new product
ions have been given. The cause is
attributed to the phenomenal business
all the show houses have been doing
right through the dog days. Apart
from variety houses, London has thir-
ty-three regular west end theatres.
All these are showing comedies of one
kind or another. Apparently sol
diers on leave, the chief patrons of
London's theatres these days, do not
care for serious plays.

If you have an idea that
Camp Pike is only a temporary
sort of army cantonment you
should see the three great ware
houses going up on the north
side of the track. They are
each 500 feet long and 60 feet
wide with an 8 1-2 foot plat
form running the full length, a
floor space of over 100000
square feet. They have cement
foundation pillars and heavy
Prevails. They are only a
part of the building that is 60
ing on all the time at the camp,
and it is expected that a similar
row of warehouses will soon be
lining the south side of the
track.

if the program is held in the

in good weather, every seat will

standing or seated on the
ground. If no program has
been provided, or if the attrac-
tion fails to appear, the colored
men can quickly furnish an i'm
promptu one of their own. One
of the platforms is located on
the slope of a hill and there are
no seats, the men standing or
sitting on the ground. The ne
groes in Camp Pike seem to be
a happy, contented bunch and
so far there has never been the
slightest trouble or disturbance
with any of them.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis j,
Van Shaick of the 345th infan-
try, at Camp Pike, one of the
most popular men in the camp,
has the following tribute to
pay to the army Y. M. G. A.
"Your trained officers of the
regular army take off their hat
to no military men in the world.
We can train your sons, with
the splendid products of the
training camps, so that they
will have a $3.50 chance with
the best trained German SOL
dier that ever climbed out of a
trench. But your American
boys deserve more than a 50-50
chance. They should have the
edge on the Hun. There is just
one institution that can give
them that edge-the Army Y.
M. C. A.. That institution
keeps the boys in touch with
home, developes that pride in
home, pride in locality, pride
in state, that taken collectively
makes for what we call morale,
and it spells the difference be-
tween the soldiers who win and
the soldiers who lose"

quarantine. They have had
their smallpox and typhoid fe-
yer "shots" and are ready for
real work. They are finding it
pretty hot drilling out in the
sun and dust and are of course
complaining, just as the fellows
did who were working here in
the winter in the mud and snow.
One of the greatest boons on
being out of quarantine is the
privilege of visiting the "Y"
buildings. We have a mighty
clean bunch of boys here in the
ten thousand new arrivals, and
they are going to give the "M.
P's.' much less trouble than
did a lot of men from the great
northern cities.
1t isn't new, of course, for it
has been told many times, and
yet it continues to happen ev-
cry time a batch of new men
go through the hands of the ex-
aminers here. Asked as to his
nearest living relative the man
answered, "My Aunt" A lit
tie later he said his parents
were living. But you said your
aunt was your nearest rela-
tive" demonstrated the officer.
"She is. My parents live in
Ohio, and my aunt lives over
in Tennessee.
Washington telegraph., 1918-06-14

Fewer men have been re-
jected from the recent selective
draft arrivals than any previ-
Gus quota. We do not know
whether the examining boards
are using better judgment or
whether they just naturally
had better lot of men to Sc
lect from, but they sent in a
splendid bunch of fellows who
are taking hold of the work in
a most efficient way. Two
weeks in uniform makes all the
difference in the world in the
carriage and appearance of a
man and some of the new en-
bryo soldiers would hardly be
recognized were they to walk
into their homes even now.

At least some of our boys
will be surprised when they
reach the French areas and find
the native soldiers playing cro-
quet with a great deal of vim
n d enthusiasm. Another
American game that is making
hit with the French is horse
shoes. One great reason for the
popularity of these games is
that they require little space
and equipment and do not at
tract the attention of the enc
my gunners as do games that
require many men or attract a
large number of bystanders.
