YOUNG MEN MUST
REGISTER AUGUST "a.
Youths Who Have Reached the Age of
Il Since Last June S Must Sign
Up for Military Service.

Provost Marshal General Crow
der, under a proclamation by the
President, has ordered that youths
who have become of age since the
last registration day, June s, must
register on Saturday, August "a
The purpose of this registration is
to provide available men in Class I
for the September calls. 1t is esti-
mated that about $50, 900 men will
register in the country and that a
good majority of them will be
placed in Class I, which class is
now about exhausted.
"This registration" said Gen.
Crowder, should not be confused
with the larger registration which
must be undertaken after congress
has acted on the legislation now
pending increasing the age limits.
1t, is strongly urged that all
young men who will be affected by
this registration ascertain from
their local boards or from the local
boards of the towns where they ex-
pect to be on Aug. "a just where
they should apply for registration.
Those unable on account of sick
ness to register in person may de
putize responsible persons to regis
ter for them.
1T will not be necessary to hold
another drawing in Washington to
determine the order of liability to
service of those who will register
Aug. "a. The same method will
be followed as that adopted for be
lated registrants whose names went
OIL the books after June S last.

OF sugar as residents in those
states are permitted by their local
food administrators, home Gamers
in Wisconsin can no longer get
more then the ten pounds given
them upon application to the
county food administrators for
canning certificates, and may have
only two pounds per person per
month for household consumption,
ordering two pounds at time if
they live in the country.
1t can be done" says Magnus
Swenson, food administrator for
Wisconsin, the new ration means
6 2 5 level teaspoons for each
member of your family daily.
Count up the teaspoonfulls for
each one and put the sugar in a
bowl. IT there is any left after
the meal, it may be added to your
supply of honey, maple and corn
syrups to be used for cooking. In
this manner you can be sure of
keeping within your allotment.
If the ten pound allotments
are insuffici ent for your canning
purposes, try doing up fruit with
corn syrup in the proportion of
13 cup of water and 2-3 cups of
syrup or do up the fruits without
sugar"

Jiuljtsu for Girls

Japanese women never have the
backache. are rarely toOp-shouldered
and in endurance equal their brothers.
One of the reasons given for this Is
that the japanese girls are taught iiu-
Jitsu wrestling and are made to feel
proud of their athletic IrOwess. Grown
men and women practice their jiujltsu
together and it is not lnfrequent that
the man is worsted.

Americas ingenuity and inventive
genius again comes to tho front. this
time IN the person Of Mrs. Isobe1 Hill.
1eeS 18th street
Mira Hin has succeeded in working
out practical way by which to knit
two socks at the same time, and unless
ment quiet she has the distinction of
being the first American to succeed
at it.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Hill saw in the
pictorial supplement of a New York
newspaper the photograph Of an Eng
lishwoman who had been successful in
the knitting Of two socks at one time.
There also was a picture of pair OF
socks made in this mHnner by the Eng
|lishwoman, and with the pictures was
printed the fact that the secret would
be turned over to the American REQ
Cross with the idea of raising money
by selling the instructions to tho wonn-
en- Of America
Set to Work on Problem.
Mrs. Hm was deeply Interested: she
always has been an inveterate knttter
and has made countless sweaters since
the United States entered the war She
also has an inventive mind, and she
has no end of patience and determine
ltion. In all her knitting she had never
made a pair of cocks. but after think
ing about the picture of that English
woman and her wonderful achievement
she at once made up her mind that
she could do the same thing. So sne
set to work.
In less than twenty minutes Mrs. Hill
had mastered it. and a day or so later
finished the knitting of a perfect pair
of socks by means Of the two-at-once
scheme. She was delighted, and her
friends and family were proud. and she
rs now going to give the secret to the
American Red Cross, and, while modest
ly speaking Of her achievement, she
said it makes her feel good to think
that an American can do anything her
sisters across the sea can do.
OF course, Mrs. Hill doesn't want the

Mrs Hill Is the daughter OF Capt R
G. Dubois. o. S. A, and her brother
Lieut.. George B. Dubois, Is now with
a division of engineers at the war from,
in Fr4nce. 1t will be to this brother
that Mrs. Hill will give the frst pair OF
socks she made while mastering the de-
tails Of two-fn-one knitting.
By using two additional needles and an
extra ball of yarn it is possible, Mrs
Hill contends, to make three socks al
the same time. but for beginners she
would suggest condning their talents to
the two-in-one.
