This was due partly to the fact that
he was the son OF the wife Of his FIST
love ana the son OF his old age, but
mainly because Of the superior quail
lties which Joseph possessed. This
1GyoEtism expressed itself in a SD
perIor position and more respectable

DESTROYER BUILT
IN RECORD TIME:
SEVENTEEN DAYS

Washington, D. c., June S.-Es-
tablishment by American shipbuiId-
ers OF a new worlds record in war
ship conjunction was announced
by Secretary Daniels The feat was
formed in the launching Saturday
at the Mare Island navy yard, San
Francisco, of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ward, 171a days after the
keel was laid.
The record for merchant ship
construction also is held in t5e
United States, the collier Tuckahoe
having been launched recently by
the New York ShipbUlding com
pany, Camden. n. J., q days after
the first keel plate was put down.
The Tuckahoe was practically
ready for service when put over
board, while the Ward was 81 per
cent completed, with the engines
and boilers yet 10 be installed.
AS much structural work as pos
sible for the Ward was prepared in
advance, ready for erection and as
sembling before the keel was laid.
Bulkheads, sections of the keel,
deck houses. bridge structure and
a section of the. destroyer's sides
were riveted up ready for assem-
bling in place on the ways.
Naval Constructor Fl. NJ. Gleason
planned and had immediate charge
of building the Ward.

CLASS
OF II AT TRINITY
Bishop VI. Edward Fawcett OF
Quincy Diocese Officiated
at Episcopal Sunday.

Bishop III. Edward Fawcett of the
Episcopal diocese of Quincy con-
firmed a class of II catechumens
yesterday morning at Trinity
church, and preached a sermon that
will long be remembered by all
present.
His text was from Matthew
1884, Think not that I came to
send peace on earth; I came not to
send peace, but a sword"
Bishop Fawcett spoke of the
seeming contradiction between this
passag and the prophecies of the
far-seeing Isaiah, who called
Christ the Prince of Peace; like
wise the glad tidings which at
tended ChTist's physical birth were
accompanied with songs Of peace
on earth, good viii to men"
1t would surely seem that these
were contradictory, yet in reality
there is no contradiction at all. And
in the vivid explanation of the har-
mOny OF these passages, was the
beauty and strength of the sermon.
AS an illustration OF the real peace
implied by the "swOrdF bishop
Fawcett gave a vivid word-picture
of the view of this surrounding
country, seen from one of the high
est points at 3 o'clock on an Oc-
tober morning. But at the first
peep of dawn, the fog is pierced by
swords Of light, which increase
more and more, as the sun mounts
higher and higher, until finally all
fog has disappeared in the broad
light of day.
So it is with the human soul
Times when all seemed so pea ceful,
were perhaps times Of sleep, stupor,
and stagnation. Then came the
period of trouble which was really
the struggle between fog and light
And after that when the fog had
disappeared, peace, the real peace
Of the soul
So il is with great nations, and
with the history of Christianityft-
self. When a few years ago, some
glib agnOstics announced that
Christianity had failed, it was not
Christianity that had failed but
paganism. The tremendous sacri-
fee that the United States is max
ing in treasure, and in blood 10 help,
win this war, shows that peace, real
spiritual peace which comes only
from struggle and growth is vital TO
the hearts Of all true Americans
1T is better TO be true. and to
have trouble, than to fail to see
the light. Better for a nation to
be true and to struggle, than to be
traitorous."
Members OF the class who re-
ceived the rite of confirmation are:
Eleanor Marguerite Anderson.
Mrs Inez Esteline Anderson, Clara
Angela Arnell, Mrs. Ulary Belle
Garter, Peter Albert Marasco. Mrs.
Ruth Marguerite Marasco. Louis

GLASS HAIR FOR DOLLS.

ARTIFICIAL and substitute hair Is
being made in Germany, according
to information gathered by Com
merce Reports, which says: The
importation of human hair from
China has long been stopped. The
surrogate which is being used is
really a substitute for silk. At first
silk hair was made, but the sale Of
this article was forbidden by the
government. For dolls, glass hair

Haven't a drop of settler in the

Rock Islanders who were in the
habit of taking their daily "quench-
ers" in the local soda fountains to-
day and even yesterday experienced
real war conditions and left the
stores and drink parlors with
thoughts that Sherman was right"
in their minds.
a Many soda fountain owners in
the city were today without charg-
ed water. The supply is purchased
by the local dealers from Chicago.
1t is said that each Rock Island
dealer has several empty tanks
which are used to bottle the gas in
their possession. In other words
the gas manufacturers in Chicago
have the gas but no tanks. Rock
Island dealers together with a num-
Der throughout Illinois are expert
encing a settler famine.
By Wednesday, it is expected, the
famine will be over as the majority
of dealers have shipped the empty
tanks back to Chicago and will
have them returned filled.
two or three of the Rock Island
druggists who as rule sell hun
dreds of sodas on Sundays, were
yesterday for the first time, without
seltzer water.
The same condition is said to ex-
list in Davenport and Moline. Prac-
tically every wholesale dealer and
bother in the tri-Cities is without
tanks of gas. The retailers are us
ing only what supply they have on
hand.

CAN REMAIN IN
COLLEGE UNTIL
NEEDED IN WAR

Many a 1918 high school graduate
is debating with himself this year:
Shall I go to college? or shall I
enlist at once for military service?
The war department has just
made 1t possible to do both. 1t says,
in effect, to the ambitious young
American: You serve your country
by going to college. To make sure
that you do not lose thereby the
opportunity of serving your country
in a direct military capacity, you
viii be asked to join the special
United States army college train
ing units that are to be formed
You Will be liable for service at a
moments notice, but because you
are worth more to the nation with
your college training than without
it. you will be expected to stay in
college until called by the govern
ment"
The war departments announce
ment provides that beginning with
September, 1918, military instruc-
ton. under officers and nOn-com-
missioued officers of the army, Will
be provided il every institution of
college grade enrolling for the in
stitutiOn enrolling one hundred or
more able bodied students over the
age Of IS. The necessary military
equipment will be provided by the
government. There Will be created
a military training unit in each in
stitutiOn. Enlistment will be pure
ly voluntary, but all students over
the age of IS viii be encouraged to
enlist. The enlistment will con-
stitute the student a member of the
army of the United States, liable to
active duty at the call of the pres
ident. 1t will, however, be the
policy of the government not to call
the members of the training units
10 active duty until they have
reached the age Of q, unless urgent
military necessity cOmpels an
earlier call Students under IS.
and therefore not legally eligible
for enlistment, Will be encouraged
10 enroll in the training unHs
Provision will be made for cOor-
dinaJing the reserve officers train
ing corps system, which exists in
about one-third of the collegiate in
situations, with this broader plan.
This new policy aims to accom-
plish a twO-fOld object" the war
department announces, first, 10
develop as a great military asset
the large body Of young men in
the colleges; and second, TO pre-
vent unnecessary and wasteful de-
pletiOn OF the colleges through in
discriminate volunteering, by offer
ing to the students definite and
immediate military status"
No nation has made such gen
erous provision for combined mil
itary and college education as has
the United States in this new plan.
The youth who avail themselves of
the privilege will be serving their
country's immediate as well as fu-
ture needs.
