Of faithful service for her employer,

Mrs. Coogan also seems unperturbed.

hope OF ultimately sending little Dan 10

incentive for work came. The little

embrace the acquisition OF knowledge
that will enable him TO support a wife

The Board of Education is charged
with evsding the issue of military train
Ing In the high schools by Colonel Frank
wheaton Rowle, veteran of the Argonne.
Colonel Rowle has been appointed to
command the reserve officers training
unit at the University of Pennsylvania
Two bills are before the Legislature,
purporting to authorize military educa-
fion, and one of these is "camoufage
BILL" according TO Colonel Rowle. The
School Board Is awaiting the action Of
the Legislature, he said, ready to jump
whichever way 1t Jumps"
= NO authority from the Legislature Is
needed by the Board of Education, the
officer insists. and IL Philadelphia fails
to offer this course to its high school stu
dents 1t is falling to take an advantage
OF an offer made by the federal govern
ment. Thirteen states have already ac-
cepted II and unless this city falls in
line" it will fail to follow n policy al
ready adopted by other large municipal
tiles
Units OF the junior division of the
reserve officers training corps are being
established In high schools throughout
the country" said Colonel Rowle. 'In
+ thirteen states there are already enrolled
2s.375 high school pupils. There are
none in Pennsylvania. This is a broadly
patriotic and thoroughly American move
ment. In the city of Chicago alone there
are $4,000 pupils enrolled. The uniforms
are furnished by the government and
the value OF the clothing issued to each
lad amounts to about S14.
There are other advantages, educa-
tlonal and otherwise, which ! think
should recommend this offer of the gov
ernment to the American people. The
reserve officers training school Is a
peace-time organization. 1t existed be-
fore the world war. We hope that war
has ended forever But II another war
should ever come, the loss of blood and
treasure will be minmized by the
amount of training, which the officers
have received In peacetimes. That Is
n lesson we'll impressed upon us by the
war through which we have just passed,
II do not know why the local school
board is holding up this thing. There is
no need to wait for the action of the
Legislature One of the two bills Of
fered in Harrisburg does not do just
what is wanted. Whatever the purpose
of the other bill, it must not necessarily
be passed before the Board Of Educa-
ton settles the issue

Will Cut Her Hair

Dear Madam--What do YOU think of

ing to no on a farm all summer and
thought it would be n good opportunity
to do it. as my hair is very thin be-
sides It would be so comfortable. Also.
could you tell me what to use for hair
that is thin and oily? l.. S.
/ think II would be Just the thing for
you to have your hair cut and the air
and the sunshine going right through IL
out on the farm ought to do lots Of good.
OF course. Il is more beneficial to have
the hair shaved than Just to have IL
boxed, but that's rather hard on a girl,
now. isn't it? Crude oil with plenty of
massage is very good for thin hair. Work
the scalp around with the tips of your
fingers, placing the thumbs just below
the temples to get firm hold. Be very
faithful about this massage and apply
the crude oil about three nights a week.
OF course, You will go to a hairdresser g
to have your hair cut No doubt abe
will glvo you further advice about what
to do The other question in your letter
will be answered by mail
