There are now 100000 volunteers
out getting voting memberships In
Community service. and the idea is
taking hold, q. is said, because OF its
novelty and the desire OF the people
of Washington to have an active part
in naming the members Of the execu-
tive board from year to year. More
volunteers are coming to headquar-
ters at 14OS Pennsylvania avenue all
the time. The next meeting or the

SALVATION ARMY AIDS
MILLION GIRLS TO WE'D
ORGANIZATION in Britain Promotes
Emigration of Women in
Excess of Men.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The Saliva
ton Army in the British Isles, work.
ing in cooperation with the govern
ment, is promoting emigration of the
approximately $50, 900 women in ex-
cess of the male population there.
according to an announcement by
Commissioner David G.. Lamb, Lon
don foreign secretary to the army.
on a mission to the United states.
Spinsterhood or emigration ~ the
fate of these women, the commits
sioner asserted. adding:
I'VE offer no apology for active
propaganda designed to procure a
better distribution of the sexes. There
are a million and quarter more
women than men in the British Isles
today, and one OF the biggest after
the-war tasks assigned to the saliva
ton Army in Britain is to stimulate
female emigration and direct 1t to
those colonies in the British empire.
such as Western Canada and por-
tions OF Africa and Australia. where
there are more male than female in
habitants. The prospect Of placing
female domestics in the United States
has not been overlooked.
1.-THE Salvation Army has dispatched
several shiploads OF emigrants to
Canada already. We help them make
arrangements to leave the old coun-
try, provide transportation when
necessary and through out world
wide organization see to 1t that the
emigrants are safely settled in the
new land.
Our records show that of the girls
who emigrated some years ago to GER
tain sections where women were in
the minority 60 per cent. were mar
ried within three years Of their ar
rival"

ALARMED AT DREAD DISEASE
Spread of Sleeping Sickness Threatens
Entire World, According to Scien-
fists of Prominence.

Sleeping sickness. called encephalitis
to have become domestic evil. says
thu Medical Record (New York;. in
quoting study of this formerly rare
disease by Doctor Lhermtte in
French medical journal.
1t appears that the disease Is epi-
demic all over the world and that 1t
manfestS itself in many forms. the
only symptom possessed by all in COM
mon being that of deep and prolonged
sleep.
In true cncephalitis lethnrSca there
are four cardinal symptoms-ocular
paralySes, hypersomnia, fever and the
general state. The ocular pnralyseS
may be absent at the outbreak OF the
disease but once present they are
characteristics. so, too, is the type of
hypersomnia. 1t is narcolepSy. but
the subject does not arouse quickly,
as in the condition which commonly
goes by the name and in which the
seizures may be only momentary. How
ever, lIle permanent steep may DC pre-
coded by narcoleptic crises.
Doctor Lhermitte notes apprehension
of the muscles and a state suggesting
catalepSy Tremors are often mani
fest; the temperature goes to 104 de-
greeS f. He says a Wassermann test
and examination of the spinal fluid
should always be made.

Varieties of Potatoes.

One potato may be big enough to
provide meal for a gOOd-sized fam.
lily. People in Virginia like them that
way. In northern markets, however,
the demand is for potatoes of a mod.
est size. In Europe potatoes are
grown of different kinds for different
purposes Certain varieties are raised
for cooking and others for starch
making and distilling. Over there
they have a socalled "stock potato"
which is not used for human food at
all. 1t is very large and coarse Of tex.
ture. The yield to the acre is twice
the ordinary, and the tubers, being ex.
ceedingly rich In starch. are great al,
cohol producers. J

Postal Air Service,

After the signing of the armistice
> the British authorities established q
postal airpIane service to Cologne, and
In connection with this service syS-
tematic use was made of wireless tele-
phOny, says the Halifax Morning
Chronicle. Wireless telephone stations
were placed on the ground at dis
tances Of fifty miles from each other,
and with the use of quite small sets
were able to transmit messages to air
craft up TO thirty miles away. They
could also receive from the air to
about fifty miles. Frequently these
distances were exceeded and an air
plane was in communication at one
and the same time with three stations
Considering the small size Of the ap
paratus employed these We're remark
able results, and testify to the rapid
progress made by the British air serv-
ice since the first trials of wireless
telephony TO airplanes in 1915.

FEAR SPREAD OF BLINDNESS
Scientists Alarmed by Reports From
the Oasis Towns of the Great
Sahara Desert

A plague Of blindness Is sweeping
the oasis towns of the Sahara desert
according to Il dispatch received at
Washington from Biskra. DR.. Toulant
of the PaSteur Institute of Ophtal-
mology, who Is conducting expert
ments on herd of monkeys in an eff
fof to isolate the germ which is blind
ing tens of thousands Of Arabian chill
dren, has informed the American Red
Cross that eight of every ten children
In the Sahara are now affected.
The white nuns of the Sahara are
treating the eyes of hundreds of chill
dren. With Biskra, 'the Garden Of Al
lah" oasis, as their headquarters, they
tour the desert on camels visiting the
oasis town where the plague is at its
worst. --..-i
With the approach Of the hot months
it is feared the disease will become
even more widespread. The filth OF
the oasis towns and the uncovered
camel meat market breed countless
millions of flies even during the winter
months Flies are believed to carry
the germs of granular trachOma, with
which in northern Africa 100000 Arat
children are infected.

OLD FISH MARKET MUST GO
to Succumb to the Inexorable
March Of Time.

Billingsgate. London's Old-time fish
market, is about to move. The course
Of time and the modern difficulties Of
transport are responsible for the plan
to remove to another site more easy
of access, and in which space Will
not always be at a premium.
Billingsgate was the most important
quay on the Thames in late Saxon
times, and fish. among other things,
were landed there. BY the time Of
Edward | the market was fully eStab-
liShed, and the king, who was con.
firmed food controller, fixed a tariff,
Of maximum prices. This list included
one dozen best soIes, 6 cents best null
let cents; best haddock, cents:
best Thames or Severn lamprey, 8
cents: gallon of oysters, 4 cents, and
best porpOiSe, - to 16 cents. The
best fresh salmon, after Easter were
to be sold at four for $1.25 That was
in the days when the Thames was full
of salmon, and one could catch fioun-
ders and tlattiSh on line dropped
over London bridge. The water is still
salty during high tide, but the sea fish
do not come up any further than
Gravesend, which is 20 miles lower
down.

Paderewskl, who represented Poland,

RIGlDLY EXCLUDE FRESH AIR
French Seemingly See No Reason
Why 1t Should Ever Be Ad-
mitted to Bedroom.

Europeans do not like fresh air,
writes Theodore Roosevelt in Average
Americans. They feel Il good deal
like the gentleman in Stephen Lea
cocks story who said he liked fresh
air, and believed you should open
the windows and get in all you could.
Then you should shut the windows and
keep it there. 1t would keep for years.
| have been in many rooms IN
France where the windows were nailed
shut. The beds also are rather re
markable They are generally fitted
with feather mattresses, and feather
quilts. Very often they are arranged
in niche in the wall like closet,
and have two doors, which the aver
age European. after getting into The
bed closes, thereby rendering it about
as airy and well ventilated as CONN.
| remember my own billet in one OF
the towns where we stopped. AS
was commanding officer, it was one
of the best and was reasonably warm.
1t was warm because the barnyard
was next door. literally in the next
room, as all that separated me from
a COW was a light deal door by the
side of the bed The cow was tied TO
the door. When the COW slept | slept !;
but if the COW passed restless night
/ had all the opportunity | needed
to think over my past sins and future
plans.
In another town an excellent billet
was not used by the officers because
over the bed were hung photographs
of all the various persons who had
died in the house, taken while they
lay in that bed.

Compensation for Dark DAYS.

"There are not many happinessea
Sc complete as those that are
snatched under the shadow of the
sword" Some of life's brightest
blossoms bloom along it's hardest
ways, and looking back on days of
poverty, sickness and hardship we
often see the choicest treasures. of
love and loyalty that we have ever
known. Anyone may share bur joys
with us, but the one who shares our
trials comes close in friendship that
will never be forgotten. An outsider,
plying the weary attendants in
sickroom, cannot know how near to
heaven its companionships often lie,
nor what blessed bits Of happiness
are Snatched under the shadow of the
suspended sword The dark days have
their compenSatiOns.-M Her,
