YOUNG WOMEN AS
INTERPRETERS FOR THE
DRAFT BOARDS

Young women are being called to
serve as Interpreters for the families
of drafted men, according to a state
ment of Mrs. Hastings H. Hart, presi,
dent fthe Congregational Woman's
Home Missionary Federation. These
women are graduates of the Schauf
fer Missionary Training School in
Cleveland, Ohio, which trains young
women of foreign birth of parentage
for social or missionary work among
persons of their own nationality In
this country
THE graduates of this school have
given much OF their time to local
committees necessitated by the war
| to Red Cross work, liberty loan
drives, food conservation, and many
other Allied interests said Mrs
Hart. There is scarcely a phase OF
| AUGMENTATION or social work which
is not touched in some way by these
yiung women. Most OF the graduates
are employed in such industrial cities
as Akron, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pa.
Some are welfare workers in fac
| tories, some work in divisions of the
| Y. w G. A.. and some are concerned
with young women Of foreign parent
age. During the last year represen
tatives of 90 different nationalities
enrolled"

The third session of the Training
School for Chaplains is now in prog
ress. Maj. Alfred A. Pruden, a chap
lain of the Coast Artillery Corps, is
in charge
The training school is modelled on
the lines Of the Reserve Officers
Training School. Stress Is laid upon
military affairs rather than upon
theological instruction. 1t is under
stood by the Government that all can
didates have had the necessary theo-
logical educatiin when their applica-
lions are accepted by their denomina-
tional chaplain committees, the gen.
eral committee on Army and Navy
chaplains, or the Catholic chaplains'
bureau.
According 70 the Federal council
of churches, the faculty of the train
from the Episcopal Church, the Meth
idist Episcopal the Baptist, and the
Roman Catholic. Among the candi-
dates are Roman Catholics and mem
bers of the Augustinian, the Jesuit,
and the Redemptional Orders, Bap.
lists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Epis-
copalians, Congregationalists, Luther
ans, and Disciples, all working and
comforting together.
The next session of the training
school will open July IL. The course
covers period of five weeks. Dur
ing the time of instruction the candi-
dates receive the salary and wear the
uniform of private of the United
States Army. The facilities of the
school have been so enlarged as to
accommodate $50 candidates. This
increase has been necessitated by the
demand for chaplains created by the
recent passage of the bill allowing
one chaplain for each 1000 officers
and men.

THE DAYLIGHT SAVING

Figures that show the bearing of
Eaylight saving on war gardens are
Impressive million gardeners
in seven months will gain 546,0nO,000
hours, which are equivalent to g.
100000 days of eight hours each Of
1896 years." says the Providence
Journal.
"This time is considered sufficient
for raising the equivalent of the sup
plies consumed in six months by an
army of million men. These calcu-
,lations by the president of the Nation
al War Garden Commission leave no
doubt as to the practical value of the
plan for setting the clocks ahead one
hour.
"A continuance Of daylight saving
, in 1919 is expected as a matter Of
course. People who appreciate its
advantages naturally wonder why SO
much talking was necessary before
Congress ordered the change. No dis
turbance was caused by the Federal
regulation for the reason that It ap-
piled to everyone, and when the time
comes for setting the clocks back an
hour there will be no confusion"
