GIRLS ENTER
ARMY ESSAYS
Outnumber Boys Among
1854 School Pupils
In Contest.

More than one-half of the 1854
Washington school children who will
enter the army essay contest Febru-
orN % are girls. The War Department
yesterday emphasized that girls as
well as boys should enter the contest
on What Are the Benefits of an En-
listment in the United States Army"
There is not a country in the world
that has not produced women who
have done valiant deeds in time of
war. There's Joan of Arc and our
own Molly Pitcher and Barbara Frit-
chic. Edith Cavell, who was executed
by the Germans in Belgium. was a
nurse in the English army. For the
same reason that American women
are necessary to the success of the
army the War Department has decid-
ed that girls should be eligible to COM
pete in the essay contest.
The majority of children who have
called at the District recruiting office
for information and literature have
been girls. p. p. Claxton. commits
sioner of education. in his Endorsement
of the contest. recommended it TO
both boys and girls.
anew development in the prepara-
tion for the contest on February
20 is the recommendation by Rep
resentative John +. Carew that
more prizes should be put up as an
incentive for the school children
and that the trophies to be pre-
sented put on exhibition.
The prize proposed for presenta-
tion to the national winner is a
gold medal embossed with the seal
of the War Department. while the
school the boy or girl represents
will receive silver loving cup
eighteen inches high. The writer Of
the second best essay will receive
silver medal with a fourteen-inch
loving cup for the school. The third
prize winner will receive a bronze
medal and the school a loving cup
twelve inches in height. The cups
and medals will be of the same de-
sign and appropriately engraved.
The cups are of sterling silver.
The teachers in Washington have
spent much time during the past
week in discussion and study with
the children in preparation for writ
ing the essay next Friday. Ap-
proximately 100000 school chill
dren will write an essay for the
contest on that day on the benefits
OF an enlistment in the army. the

GROUP CLOTHES
PLAN IS LATEST

Pooling of dearly bought expert
ence in buying yard goods or
ready-made clothing by groups of
women is advised by Miss Edith
Strauss, of the Department of JUS
tice.
Experience is the best teacher,
but his tuition is a high one" says
Miss Strauss.
why should not women get to-
gether in clubs or just as neigh
bors and citizens and pool their
experience in buying and in that
way find out what makes of gar
ments wear better than others?
Garments that do not wear are
a personal and national extrava-
gance, no matter how low the pur-
chase price, because they must soon
be replaced at an expense not only
of money but of material and of
labor to make and distribute them"
Miss Strauss advocates the COM
piling of reference lists embodying
the composite experience of groups
of women, both as to reliable
makes of garments and materials
found reliable for various clothing
needs. Such lists would serve as
purchasing guides to individual
members of the group. and in the
hands of a committee, could be put
to constructive use in improving
the standard of goods offered for sale
in the local shops.
a record of wearing qualities of
a ready-made garment, for example.
should include the price, date of
purchase. size, store, material, name
and address of maker, general con-
struction, number of months worn
and the average number of days
each week. how laundered (vhether
by hand or by steam laundry,
number of times laundered, when
discarded and condition at that
time.

show how little age experience
counted among those who were first
employed in the bureau. We didn't
have any perscnel ONCE to aid in the
placing of employees in the work for
which they were best fitted.
AT that time there were only 800
employees in the whole bureau. Next
June there were 5000 and in June.
1919. this number had been increased
to 1900. As this force was neces-
sarily scattered to a number of diff
ferent buildings the job OF running
the bureau properly was naturally 4
very difficult problem.
Little Correspondence at First.
AT first we had very little corre-
spondence with the men in the service.
Their premiums were deducted from
their pay and their applications for
insurance were secured by their army
officers.
About all we had to do In this re-
spect was to file the applications as
they came in and to write the army
officers explanations about insurance
Insurance information was often given
to the service men by officers who
knew little about it.. They gave out
wrong information. without meaning
to do so. This muddled things up for
US later.
Immediately after the armistice
was signed and the men began to
be discharged by the thousands,
letters by the hundreds of thousands
flooded into the insurance division.
There were big piles of letters. and
4 it wasn't a question of picking up
a letter and answering it. The
necessary information to answer the
letters was scattered about in diT-
sions which were quartered in six
teen buildings. 1t was a hard job.

to lapse, and they will have to be

They were simply told. in many
cases to sign here, and thy

thing for them. and they made no
mistake in taking out government
life insurance, but now that they
are discharged they VIII have to be
