A particular effort will be made TO
enroll high school graduates for a
course in Naval Science to be given
at the University of Washington. Rear
Admiral Chauncey Thomas viii have
charge and has established course
for training of prospective reserve Off
icers for the United States Navy. Al

Schools for the training of Petty

reporting for active duty make appli-

Men with sufficient qualifications
are also enrolled for the Officers Ma

Owing to the fact that there are
thousands of men past the age limit

raised the age limit to 40 years In

PARIS DISCARDS
FOOD PRETENSE
(By the Uited Press)

Americans who have gone to Paris
during the past year have teen sur-
prised, and sometimes shocked, at the
amount of food which they could obs
tain in Paris restaurants and hotels
il they were willing to pay the price.
Many have taken it for granted that
this apparent lavishness was char
acteristic of conditions throughout
France in private homes as well as
restaurants. and have written home
that 1t was ridiculous to save foor for
the French people when they hau
plenty and made no attempt to con-
serve it. AS matter of fact. the lack
of restrictions in the big hotels and
restaurants of Paris was part of well
thoughtout policy of the food control
Ter, who estimated that the amount of
food consumed in these hostelries was
extremely small compared to the total
food consumption of the country; that
it was the Americans and British and
other foreigners who ate there; that
is was courteous and hospitabIe to
give the foreigners in Paris what they
wished. and at the same time that the
cheerful effect on the French people
of seeing the hotels gay and well sup,
piled in spite of war times more than
repaid for the small drain on the food
resources. And, while the hotels OF
Paris were comparatively unrestrlct-
ed, this exemption did not extend to
other parts of France and every
where the private households were
conserving food as only French house,
holds can.
Now however, even the Partisan
restaurants are reflecting the rigid re-
strlctions Impressed on the French peo-
pie. A letter written from Paris May
16 shows the change:
"As you may know. no white bread
Is to he bought i'm Paris. and am told
that in some parts of the provinces
conditions are even worse-that bread
of any sort is difficult to get. The
quality of the bread in Paris is very
poor. 1t is mixed with many substi-
tutes which do not seen to respond to
the yeast. It is generally sour and
clammy and has made a number of
people sick. Besides no white bread.
there is no cream or sugar or butter
or desserts of any kind except stewed
and fresh fruits served in any hotel or
restaurant: and no cheese is served IL
If the cost of the meal exceeds a dol
lar and twenty cents. Imagine sitting
down to the early French breakfast
at hotel like the Ritz. in Paris, and
being served sour war bread and this
miserable French coffee which tastes
like chicory and soft soap. and then
being told that you could have no but.
ter for Your bread. nor sugar nor
cream for your coffee"
Even Paris can keep up the bright
pretense no longer.
