CHANCE FOR SERVICE. IN
CHEMICAL WARFARE SERVICE

The recruiting officer at Harris
burg has received advices from the
War Department that 1000 recruits
for the Chemical Warfare Service
are to be obtained as soon as pos
sible 1t is desirable, though not
essential, that the men enlisted for
this service have chemical or en-
gineering experience. The conditions
authorizing the enlistment of these
men follow:
l. Only white men will be enlist
ed.
2. Enlistments may be for a
period of one or three years.
3. These men will be enlisted in
the Infantry and assigned to the
Chemical Warfare. Service. While
such men are to be enlisted in the
Infantry branch of the service, it
must be understood that they will
never be required to serve in that
branch against their will, but will
be assigned at once to the Chcmi-
cal Warfare Service in which
branch they will remain until COM
pletion of their enlistment, unless
the Chemical Warfare Service is
discontinued sooner, in which case
they will be given the option of
transferring to some other branch
or being discharged from the SER
vice. All men upon enlistment will
be forwarded at once to report to
the commanding officer, Lakehurst
Proving Ground, Lakehurst, n. ].
AS this calls for but 1000 recruits
from the entire country, Colonel
Kemper, in charge of this recruit
ing district, advises the young men
of this territory to take advantage
of this opportunity at once.

them; and these will be stern tests of
her self-control
1t is also possible that she may have
children of her own. In that case it
may not always be easy to be equally
kind and just to both sets. Only a very
understanding and sympathetic person
can successfully manage group of
children of differing temperaments and
requirements.
The position of a stepmother is far
from an eviable one. Every eye is wide
open to see how she treats the children
of a former marriage, and the relatives
of the first wife are always ready to
comment and criticise.
But in spite of the difficulties of the
situation and the fact that stepmothers
are often as black as they are painted,
there are many stepmothers who have
won and kept the love and loyalty of
their adoped children, and give them
better care and more attention than
their own mothers probably would have
bestowed upon them.
One of the most harmonious and
happy families 1 ever saw consisted of
''his children" her children" and their
children" 1t sounds incredible, and 1
could hardly have brought myself to be-
lieve it If I did not know it to be true.
