North Dakota was linked with that OF
Minnesota in the rough plan which
was discovered at St. Paul, and a
warning was sent the officials here.
State authorities asked Sheriff French
to- take necessary precautions to guard
the state house, and the sheriff posted
a number OF guards in the capitol
grounds.
Quite mnocently we'll known Bis

flavor of wheat bread is often described
as that of the original wheat as it i.
obtained by chewing the grains. In
like manner, the flavor of other breads
should suggest that the original ma
terials were in good condition at the be.
ginning and that they have not under
gone any undesirable changes during the
process of bread making.
All of these qualities -lightness, good
flavor, a crisp and deep crust, and an
elastic crumb-can be secured in rolls
and biscuits as wei as in large loaves.
The objection to hot bread is not due
to the fact that it is hot (if it were,
hot toast would be indigestible i. e.,
cause distress) but that 1t lacks SONY
of the characteristics mentioned above.
Large, or thick biscuits, whether
raised with yeast, baking powder, or
soda, are likely if cooked only short
time, to be soggy on the inside, and
this, when it happens, is the objection
to them, rather than the fact that they
are served hot.

l have in mind, as prelude, two ma
jor league ball clubs. The first team had
the leadership and the material to win
with. There was no question of this.
But the fan support at home was lacking
both in tire way of attendance and di-
rect encouragement. The home fans ap-
parently took it for granted their club
would win the pennant and for this, or
other reasons. were lukewarm in their
support, and overcritical of any manage
rial or playing mistakes.
The result was a purely human turn.
The club finally became discouraged, be-

just what the use was in playing TO
that type of support. Needless TO say i

average material, but nothing borderin!
upon the invincible. But it carried tn
full and complete support of its hom
fans who paid their money at the boz
office and who stood back of their club OF
the field as loyal in defeat as in victory
Back in the grandstand and the bleacheri
they helped to fight for their club. This
team, with its morale finely nodded by
such support, fought its way to the front
and held the peak against better looking
clubs.
These are not hypothetical cases. They
are not what might have happened They
are what actually took place.
War is only game upon mighty
scale. Like any other game it requires
leadership, material, team play, training
sacrifice-and support back of the lines.
What are the concrete, definite ways
of giving this Support back of the
lines?
"This war" remarked Ian Hay Mai.
Beithl recently, "wil be won by the al
lies to a certainty, if the nerve and
nerves of the people back of the lines
only hold out"
Nerve and the control of nerves is
needed back of the lines fully as much
as in the field.
What other ways are there?
There is an old golf maxim which adj
vises-"Keep your eye on the ball" This
maxim is incorrectly arranged. 1t should
read-"Keep your mind on the ball"
There are too many who keep their eye
on certain iniunctions to Help Hoover"
"Cut down the meat supply" "Econo-
mize," BUY Liberty bonds Help the
Red Cross" etc, etc.
Their eye is focused properly, but their
mind is not yet rightly adjusted
Those back of the lines, who are not
to win this war and end
it with greater speed if they will only
keep their minds upon the injunctions of
the day-if they will keep their minds
upon economizing, upon sacrificing, upon
swinging into line with the most effective
team play the world has ever known.
The entry who "does his bit" on the
ball field never wins pennant. 1t is the
one who does his all"
There isn't an American who doesn't
wish down through the depths of his
soul for swift and proper ending of
this war This goal can only be reached
by united team play back of the lines,
1y united sacrifice, united economy, unit !
d concentration upon the main object
ahead, the winning and the ending of
he war. The longer citizens put off their
lay of complete sacrifice, of needed econ
my, of complete team play, the longer
his war goes on and the greater the sac
ifice that waits ahead.

TO ASSIST GIRL EMPLOYEES.
Ordnance Department Has Civilian Per.
sonnet Division.

7 The civilian personnel division of The
ordnance department announces the es
tablishment of a welfare section. The
, duties of this newly created section will
, be to assist girl employees in the depart,
, ment to obtain comfortable quarters in
Washington, and to enlarge the social
life of the army of young women who
have left their homes that they might
do their part toward winning the war.
In inaugurating this section and carry
ing forward this program, the civilian
personnel division is animated by the
spirit of helpfulness and service. When
young woman responds to the call of
her country and enters in the service in
the department, her name will be placed
/ on the roll of the welfare section. The
welfare section will become interested in
| the young woman employee Immediately
upon her arrival in Washington to ac-
cept a position in the ordnance depart
ment. And this interest will continue
during the period of her employment.
The demand for suitable homes for
girl employees has increased to such an
extent that the civilian personnel divi-
sion, through its welfare section, will
endeavor to solve the problem for young
women accepting employment in the ord
nance department. In this connection,
the section will cooperate with the dis
trict council of national defense, which
has received an appropriation of 81 900
month from President Wilson's emer-
gency fund to be used for housing work
and with other agencies interested in this
situation
The great majority of girl employees in
Washington have come from homes in
smaller cities and towns, where social
entertainment formed no small part of
then daily program, They were sur
rounded there with strong home infiu- |
ences, and enjoyed the advantage of |
pleasant acquaintanceships and friend |
ships. These pleasures they have been
willing to forego that they might serve
their country.
That recreation and entertainment |
may be provided for these young women |
in the ordnance department, the welfare |
section has been created. 1t is in charge
of Zenas l.. Potter of Layton, o., former
head of the welfare department of the
Cash Register company. He is
a graduate of the University of Mime
sofa, and a post graduate of Columbia
He was connected with the
Russell Sage Foundation, and conducted
important investigations affecting well
fare and industrial problems.
The responsibilities of the welfare sec
lion will become larger each week, as the
of the department increase.
To-day there are open in the department
for nearly thousand persons
who must qualify under the civil service
regulations. In this list are included 249
four clerk -bookkeepers, so 8
ndex and catalog clerks, 1870 schedule
Jerks, and 1870 clerks qualified in bust a
