WILL SEEK RECRUITS
 FOR REGULAR ARMY

Col. Alexander M. Wetherill, U. &. A., until recently chief of staff of the Fifteenth Division at Camp Travis, San Antonio, Tex, and now in com- mand of the Los Angeles recruiting station, announced that great drive for recruits for the regular army will be started at once.
 Assisted by Lieut. Col. R. L. Week 5 and large staff of non-commissioned officers, Col Wetherill, whose juris- diction includes not only Los Angeles, but Imperial, San Diego, Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties in Californ- ia, and Apache, Cochise, Coconino, Gila, Graham, Maricopa, Mohave, Navajo, Pima, Santa Cruz, Yavapai and Yuma counties in Arizona, says that within the next few weeks he will establish a record for this dis trict in the number of recruits en- rolled for the army. All men enlisted will be sent to Angel Island in San Francisco bay for their first equip ment and training.
 Changes in the enlistment regula- tions, according to Col. Wetherill, the increase in pay from S15 to $50, and many other features now held out to young men to join the army, will assist the recruiting officers in find ing men who wish to enter the regular service. An added feature for men enlisting on the West Coast is that many will be sent to the coast defens- es of Panama and other outside army posts.
 Col. Wetherill also announced that the enlistment age has been changed by the war department from 21 to 35 years to IS to 40 years. Young men IS years old, according to the colonel. do not need to secure the consent of their parents before enlisting. Another important change in the reg ulations is that men who have seen service in the war may enlist for the period of one year only, and all oth- CTS for a three-year period. Before the war, enlistments were for seven years.

BATTLES IN FRANCE BROUGHT OUT THE
 BEST IN SOLDIERS

Major F.. s. Bullock, M. C., 34th Division, formerly at Camp Cody, a noted American specialist on tubercu- losis, who has just returned from overseas to resume his duties as head of the New Mexico Cottage Sanato- rum at Silver City, has much to say concerning the benefits which stand out prominently above the evils of war. Among other things the major said:
 "A liberal education has been the lot of every man who has been in France. ,,
 Another most beneficial result of our share in the great conflict has been the strengthening of the finer traits of manhood, the expression of the most admirable and priceless fea- ture of human kindness which the stress of warfare with it's extreme physical and mental states have evoked. The spirit of unselfishness manifested by the wounded, the abso- lute sacrifice of self by those in the most severe suffering for the sake of a comrade, all of these point unerring- ly to the fact that Americans are not worshippers at the shrine of Mann mon, but men worthy to follow in the train of their patriot forefathers.
 "The greatest bravery in meeting death calmly is not in the turmoil of battle, where a man seems in an ab- normal psychic state, but the suprem- est sacrifice is made by the man who approaches his doom the victim of di- sease, without hummer.
 "The training camps have taught America something valuable on health condition. In the early days of our training camps the death rate was in many cases appalling, but soon there was a marked decrease and finally the disease which wrought such mortality at first practically ceased to be-"
 Major Bullock has no misgivings about the future of America. He is perfectly willing to resign the conduct of our nation to the generation of men and women who have carried on, both at home and abroad, in a manner to compel the universal admiration of all our allies and the neutrals and the unqualified respect of those who preach the doctrine of force.

of the country take this view and ad- just themselves to it, the sooner will they save themselves and the nation from the misfortune which will come if we persist in our present false hope"
 This international authority on prices shows there have been times in history when new price levels were established. He says:
 "The general level of prices de pends upon the volume and rapidity of turning over the circulating me. dium in relation to the business to be transacted thereby. If the number of dollars circulated by cash and by check doubles, while the number of goods and services exchanged there. by remain constant, prices will double
 "The great price changes in history have come about in just this manner The Price revolution of the sixteenth century came upon Europe as a result of the great influx of gold and silver from the mines of the New World Europe was flooded with new money More counters were used than before in effecting exchanges, and prices be-

came high People talked then of temporary 'inflation,' just as they talk of it now. But it was not temporary; it was a new price level. A similar increase in prices all over the world occurred between 1896 and 1914, fol- lowing the discovery of the rich gold fields of South Africa, Cripple Creek and Alaska, the invention of the cy- anide process in mining, and the vast extension of the use of bank credit" After analyzing our gold supply and credits and pointing out that prices in Europe are. higher than in America, Prof. Fisher arrives at this conclusions:
 Business men should face the fact. To talk reverently of 1913-14 prices is to speak dead language today. i The buyers of the country, since the armistice, have made an unexampled attack on prices through their wait l ing attitude, and yet price recessions have been insignificant. The reason level, which will be found a stubborn i reality. Business men are going to find out that the clever man is not the man who waits but the one who finds out the new price facts, and acts accordingly"
 At the same time Prof. Fishers con clusions were made known there came from the Division of Public Works and Construction Development of the U. s. Department of Labor a resume i of the work of ten or twelve experts on price and market conditions. Here again it was made plain there is no evidence iustifying the expectation of a general. material reduction in the price level. This report makes these i statements:
 "The fact is that the cost of con- struction is not high today. It is low compared with food, clothing and commodities in general. Although some readjustments in the wages of individual trades and in the prices of individual classes of building mate rials may take place, the cost of con- struction will not come down to such an extent as to endanger judicious investment made today in the erection of a new building"
 The Washington conference was called to discuss ways and means of stimulating business and providing buffer employment for labor during the period necessary for industrial readjustment. It was submitted that building and construction work serv- ed these two purposes more complete ly and directly than any other indus try. It was brought out that the country is short between 500,000 and million homes. Therefore, while public officials are'going in for pub lie improvements many communities are organizing "Own Your Home" campaigns. These serve several inn portant and desirable ends. Home owning means home building. home building means labor and stimulated business in every locality where a dwelling is built, the home owner is better citizen because his very own- ership makes him responsible and inn mediately interested in the social and political welfare of his community. Further, the home owner does not take up quickly with radical move ments such as now are threatening the security of the government in Europe.
