GEN. CROZIER DISCUSSES
 SELECTIyE DRAFT LAW

Discussing enlargement of the age limit for selective military service, Provost Marshal General Crozier said:
 "A pronounced majority of the boards favor some enlargement, but there is great diversity of opinion as to the properage limit. Nineteen and thirty-five are perhaps the limits most frequently suggested; but some recommend 40 or 45 years as the up- per limit. There is distinctively stronger demand for raising the max imum age than for lowering the min imum."
 Gen. Crozier estimates that 1,389,- 3S8 acceptable single men would be made available by an increase in the age limit to include men up to 45 years, The estimate places the num- Der of acceptable single men between IS and 21 years at 1,546,2s3. The number of probably acceptable single men already registered but not called is 1921, ,S45. According to these fig ures, should the age limit be enlarged to include men of from IS years to 45 years, inclusive, 4,257,516 physically and otherwise qualified unmarried men would be open for call to service.

HOW NEW MEN ARE
 RECEIVED IN CAMPS

"What are we going to find at Funston?" and How are we going to like it?" have been the questions in hundreds of letters from men cer- tified in the coming draft to friends who are already here. In brief, here are conditions as they will find them:
 The Rookie, as the "old timer" will call him, will not be assigned di- rectly to an organization. Instead, he will have his records taken, be in- spected for disease, measured and given full equipment and will then go out to the detention camp on Pawnee Flats, to the west of Funston. There he will be shown a cot, in a tent with we'll boarded floor and walls, and told that he will consider it home for the next two weeks or so. It is at this stage of the game that he will prob ably commence to indorse Sherman in his historic comment on war.
 However, if he is the kind of chap who will get ahead at Funston, he will forget it and apply himself to the pre- liminaries in the task of turning him self into a first class fighting man. At the detention camp he will receive his inoculations against typhoid, and he will learn the rudiments of drill. By the time he is ready to graduate" and is certain that he is not the car rier of any disease, he has become greatly hardened. He comes in from hikes with an appetite that makes the wholesale army "chow" taste like the finest grub he ever ate.
 By the time he is assigned to an organization, he has begun to think that army life is pretty good stuff af- ter all He has commenced to take an active pride in his personal ap- pearance and realizes the necessity of the rigid army discipline. In with ex- perienced troops, he will find that the process of being "assimilated' into the division is not so very hard-and then, some time, he will awake to the fact that there is little or no differ ence between himself and the men he has heretofore regarded as veterans
 He will have found his officers kindly and interested in his welfare He will have noted the effort made to give the kind of work for which he is best fitted. He has profited ir spare moments, in the amusement of the Zone with it's theaters and recre, ation halls and has discovered that he is welcomed in the nearby towns oi Manhattan and Junction City.
 Then presently, he finds himself bragging about his organization, anC his division. "We've got the best out fit in the army, he says-and is will ing to fight to back up his words When this time arrives, and it doesn' usually take long, he can be counted soldier, a real doughboy.-U. P News Bureau.

FRIENDLY INDIANS
 SAVE TRAVELLERS

But for the succor extended by Nav ajo Indians, Thomas Ward and Alex Douglas, two we'll known Verde min CTS, would now be frozen corpses in some northern Arizona snowbank.
 Ward and Douglas are just back from the southwestern part of Col orado, where they spent several months. They travelled part of th way on horseback and their attempt to cross the Navajo reservation in this manner came near proving fatal.
 During a snowstorm Ward and Douglas strayed off the trail, They wandered around lost for several hours without seeing a human being, and had almost resigned themselves to death in the cold when they saw a squaw out gathering wood. She disappeared over a rise and they fol- lowed. Soon they met five bucks on horseback, who had been sent out by the squaw to rescue them.
 For day and night the miners lay in the hogans of the Navajos, sub sisting mainly on jerked beef. Wher the storm cleared away the Navajos guided them back to the trail, twenty miles away.
 Before they left the camp Ward and Douglas offered the Indians two $10 gold pieces but the Navajos re. fused to touch the money. It seems that the tribe has a tradition that gold coin is tainted with evil. Ther the miners emptied their pockets oi silver, totaling $775, which was glad ly accepted.
 Without difficulty Douglas anC Ward reached Flagstaff, where the sold their horses. They concluded their journey by rail, .havinak hat enough of winter travel on horseback Jerome News.

THEATRICAL COMPANIES AT
 LIBERTY HOUSES A SUCCESS

Musical comedies draw the heaviest crowds to the Liberty theaters and en- tertainment tents at the camps and cantonments. Standing room only" signs are needed whenever a musical show appears.
 The sale of smilage books-pack- ages of coupons good for admission to camp theaters and tents-has been large throughout the country. The Commission on training camp Activ- ities, which is in charge of the sale, has been hard pressed to get books printed rapidly enough to supply the demand.

THE CHAMPION BUTCHER.

According to one of the German forestry journals, the kaiser, in 1908 killed 1895 pieces of wild game, in cluding 70 stags, elk and roebuck. At that time he had slaughtered total of 61,730 pieces of game, more than 4,000 of which were stags, and was the leading exterminator of wild life in the world.
 As slaughterer of men, women and children since 1914, however, he has been the foremost exterminator of human life in all history.

"Bab's Diary" the charming Par amount photoplay starring Margue- rite Clark, is taken from the famous "Sub Deb" story by Mary Roberts Rinehart which appeared in the Sat urday Evening Post.
 It is comedy-drama of the type best suited to Miss Clark's winsome personality and as the irrepressible "Bab" she has achieved one of the best character portrayals of her ca reer. "Bab's Diary" is to be shown tonight at the Orpheum Theater.

SPRING FASHIONS MAKE
 THEIR FIRST APPEARANCE

The shops are showing such bright hued frocks. and suits, the materials are so gay and springlike, one almost forgets the bitter cold weather we are having at the present time. It would seem that the very colors of the ma terials were doing their best to make us forget the gray war-cloud that hangs over us. If we must have clothes, let them at least be gay! Trimmings we can forego, wool be sparingly used, but the example of Paris, Paris in wartime, has shown us clearly where our duty lies. Never have there been such fascinatingly simple modes. Perhaps it is the CO., quette in the woman which makes it necessary for her to prove she is as fascinating in calico as in velvet; per haps the motive is deeper one; at

The Setting Sun.

The proofreader on a small middle western, daily was woman of great precision and extreme propriety. One day reporter succeeded in getting into type an item about "Willie Brown, the boy who was burned in the West End by a live wire" On the following day the reporter found on his desk a frigid note asking; which is the West End of a boy?" It took an instant to reply: "The end the son sets on, of course"

OverbIouses for Sports Wear.

The overblouse has very many pos abilities. At first they were made of sheer materials, Georgette crepe, chiffon, voiles and so forth, and were worn with an appropriate skirt for the afternoon call, bridge or tea. Now that their charm and comfortableness has been discovered, they are being made for morning wear, both for the house and outdoor sports. Worn with sensible skirt, it is most suitable for tennis and golf. The one illustrated here is most attractive and rather un- usual, for it has a group of tucks un- der which the belt slips. The edges are bound with natural-colored cham ois, fitting contrast for the French blue jersey used for the overblouse and skirt. The waist worn under 'sn overblouse must be without frills, otherwise it may be as you please.

Simple Model, Developed in FOulard any rate there are new and becoming styles, styles that improve the ap- pearance on account of their simplic- ity.
 Those who are going south are, of necessity, interested in thin materials and summery designs, but even stay at-homes must plan ahead, and are glad to do so with the many modes and opportunities we have to study the matter of spring wardrobe care fully and at length.
 Braiding Comes to the Front.
 "The first lady of the land" is set ting an example to American women everywhere. At the informal teas she has once or twice week, her costumes are the simplest and the most effective. Soft crepes, crepe de Chimes, or Georgette crepes are the favored materials for the most part, and every detail is carefully studied. Braiding is effectively used on these simple frocks. Braiding in narrow soutache, very flat and artistically ar- ranged. Sometimes there are panels on the skirt, side panels with large designs placed near the hem. Some times the waist has braiding on the collar, with perhaps touch of hand embroidery to enhance the effect. We look to Washington for our example in things of national importance, and we find our answers there.
 Models for Soft Materials.
 Clingingly feminine are the new modes, so the materials chosen must of necessity, be soft and clinging. Foulards, crepe de Chimes and Japan csc silks are the favorites. The de- signs in the foulards are rather more interesting than those of other years. The combinations of colors, too, are more artistic, for America has devot- ed much time and study to dyes, and the results are very successful. The model illustrated here is of creamy yellow foulard with a Chinese-blue figure in it. The interesting collar, buttoning onto the belt, and the odd cuff arrangement are of the same shade of blue in heavy satin. The skirt is caught up in the back with two rather wide tucks to give the hustle effect.
 Pearls for All Occasions.
 Pearls seem to be the most prec- ious of jewels to the woman of fash ion. She wears them with afternoon or evening dresses, and with those halfway affairs suitable for the af- ternoon or evening. AS rule the strands are long, coming below the waistline, though the demure little necklet of olden time gives an at tractive touch to the decollete gown. There are no more "ball-gowns," those elaborate costumes of peace times: evening gowns, of the type of the dinner-gown before the war, have taken their places.
 The Vogue of Organdie.
 There seems to be no end to the use of organdie. Of course, whole dresses are made of this crisp mate rial, dresses for morning, afternoon and evening, depending on the way they are trimmed for their place in the fashionable wardrobe. Then, col lars, cuffs and vestees have long been made of organdie. But this season lit has advanced step further into the
