According to reports from Washing
ton there seems very little doubt of
congress at an early date passing new
draft army law fixing the age limits at
1S to 45 instead of the present limits
q to 81. Young men from IS to 81
who want to go have been allowed to
volunteer and go and this seems to
meet all that should be asked of them.
The 45 limit Is not Objectionable, but
young men under 81 should not be
forced to 90 unless they choose it.

Fayette county has for years given
every school in her borders nine months
of school each year if the attendance
could be kept up to that length term.
No other county in West Tennessee
has done this, except Shelby with the
enormous wealth of Memphis to draw
from. And the average salary paid
Fayette county teachers is better than
any other county near us except Shelby.

State Superintendent S. W., Sherri
and the committee which has charge Of
the grading of the examination papers
Of the teachers and prospective teach
ers are right in drawing tighter the
lines on the issuance of certificates to
teach in the public schools of the state.
Time was when most any body could
get certificate but that time has been
gone ia this county for years, even be-
fore the present law was enacted. But
certificates have been too easy to Sc
cure. In the recent July examination
it is said that all over the state there
was larger percentage of failures
than ever before. In Fayette county
several years ago the County Board
passed rule that none with less than
four years CT high school work would
be employed as teachers, but few coun.
ties have taken this forward step, and
most counties continue to employ. ell
ementary schools pupils to teach ele-
mentary schools, satisfied that most
anybody can teach a little country
school," We are glad to see the reins
on the. issuance of certificates
and want to see the rules lived up to.

CANTEEN SERVICE FOR
SAMMIES IN FRANCE
Red Cross To Serve Boys In The Front
Line Trenches

The American Red Cross has Just
arranged to establish with the Ameri-
can troops In France a front line can
which they have served more than
million poilus with hot drinks during
the last six months, according to a
cable just received by the War Coun-
ell from Major James II. Perkins, Red
Cross Commissioner TO France.
I This will consist Of rolling canteens
stationed close behind the front line
trenches. There are now fifteen OF
these operating behind the French
. lines, from which Atty or more large
receptacles of hot drinks are sent for
ward daily, usually in the small hours
Of the morning. These drinks are
served free to the men going on or
coming off duty.
This service has proven Of such
value to the French that the Ameri-
can. army has asked the Red Cross to
have this service directly in touch
with the medical relief stations near
est the front. The work is often done
under heavy shell fire and requires
men Of great bravery and sympathy
The American army officers are man.
ifesting a keen interest in having this
service at the disposal of the American
troops and have asked the Red Cross
to enlist a substantial number of men
OF the highest calibeE to undertake
this work. 1t will be performed at the
point nearest the firing line at which
civilians are permitted.

Beginning March Is and ending

campaign will be carried on by the
American Red Cross and the
Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM TO secure minimum
quantity Of 5000 tons Of clothes
for the destitute people Of Belgium
and the occupied portions OF Northern
France. AT the request OF Herbert
Hoover, chairman Of the Commission
Tor Relief in Belgium, Henry p. Davi-
son, chairman of the Red Cross War
Council, has granted the use of the ma
tional Red Cross organization for col
lecting the needed clothing.
AS the commission has allowed most
OF It's local committees to disband be-
cause of the financial arrangements
made last June with the government,
It has turned to the Red Cross for
help. Where the local committees of
the Relief Commission are still intact,
they viii work side by side with the,
Red Cross Chapters.
The practically entire exhaustion Of
clothing, shoes, and leather in occupied
Belgium and Northern France and the
shortage of these necessities In the
worlds markets are making IL in
creasingly difficult for the Commission
to keep clothed and shod the unfortun-
ate people in these territories. In adj
dition to new, material, gifts OF used
and surplus clothing. shoes, blankets.
flannel cloth, etc, are needed in large
quantities from the people Of the Unit
ed States.
The donations will be shipped at
once to the Atlantic seaboard and sent
overseas for distribution.

Surgeon General Asks Red Gross To
Supply 5000 Nurses

Surgeon General Gorgas Of the
United States army has called upon
the American Red Cross to supply to
he Army Nurse Corps five thousand
nurses between now and the first OF
June. These nurses are needed for
service in the military hospitals both
n this country and abroad. Although
the Red Cross has already supplied

i've neei for a greater army of nurses
yrows daily as the war progresses.
According to q statement made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, it is estimat-
ed that there are between eighty and
ninety thousand registered nurses in
he United States, and that approx
mately thirty thousand will be need
ed for service in army hospitals during

,or five thousand of these is empha-
sized.
Miss Jane A. Delapo, Director Of the
Department Of Nursing OF the Ameri-

nurses to volunteer 1or THIS service,
ut we also appeal to the public and to

EXECUTIVE BOARD
 OF RED CROSS

The executive board of the Birming- ham Red Cross chapter desires to ex- press through the papers it's apprecia- ton of the wonderful work achieved by the knitting committee of the chap ter and by the knitters of Birming- ham, During the summer. a call came from gulf division headquarters for 12,oo0 knitted garments for the Red Cross. To accomplish this task, the officers then in charge elected q knit chairman; Mrs. J. L. Haley, buyer of wool; Mrs. w. I. Grubb, distributor, and Mrs. Morris Marx, receiver of gar ments. These ladies, with their atIe assistants, have worked ever since with unflagging diligence. The knitters df Birmingham responded at once to the call and have worked so magnificently that Birmingham is the first city in the gulf division to finish it's quota, and q telegram has just been received from New Orleans congratulating the chap ter on this achievement. The knitting department of the Red Cross will now be established as a regular department of the chapter. under the new system adopted by the Rcd Cross. At Mrs T. Q. Smiths request her successor has been appointed by the executive board, Mrs. William M. Walker being elected chairman of knitting and general sup5x plies. The knitting will be continued d, the wool given out and the finished garments received daily at headQuar- ters, Loveman. Joseph & Loeb's, as soon as the new committee can arrange for it.
