Regular College Opened
For Training It's Workers

And now. in anticipation for still further
usefulness in its work, the Army has
opened college for its newcomers-where
men and women may gather the practical
knowledge necessary in the work of the
Army.
The training college is at West fremont
ana andrews avenues in The Bronx. Ex-
ternally it is beautiful brick structure.
surrounded by several acres of rolling
grounds. Within are spacious classrooms.
cheerful rest rooms, cozy dormitories, with
cretonne curtains and white bedspreads.
and model kitchen and laundry.
At present there are 200 cadets in the
Salvation Army Training College, 116
women and eighty-four men. ranging in
age from 16 to As, but most of them are
between the ages Of Is and 25. Thirty
four Of them came to the college because it
seemed the only logical thing to do, since
their parents are Salvationists and they
are Army children.
The rest Of them came because they felt
tnat through the Army and its training
they could best serve mankind. That
doesn't sound very effective but try to

one girl answered, and all Of them insisted
that they never missed the parties, the
beaux and social activities they used to
enjoy before they Joined the Army. Yet
every girl In the college, except the few
brought up in the Army, once used to de-
light in these things. Then they felt the
call. that indescribable something which
voluntarily induced them to relinquish
these worldly things for something bigger.
And these girls are not saints neither
are they freaks. In appearance they are a
fine, healthy lot Of young women, with more
than an average percentage OF good looks

Plants That Seem to Think

NNE of the worlds most curious plants
and one that Is indigenous to this
country alone is the compass plant,
which was first brought to the attention of
the scientific world by Gen. Benjamin AL
word in 1912. II received its name from
the strange property exhibited by its leaves
of presenting their faces to the rising and
setting sun.
This remarkable species is a perennial
plant Of the order Composite The first
year II bears only radical leaves; the sec
ond year and after 1t is Towering herb,
with four or five leaves from twelve to
thirty inches in length
IL is found in the rich prairies OF the
Mississippi Valley, from Minnesota to
Texas. The polarity of the leaves was
known to hunters and settlers long before
Gen. Alvord discovered II, and they would
resort to II when lost on the prairies on
dark nights, as by feeling of it's leaves they
could easily get their bearings Many lives

have given up worldly things which they
possessed in abundance for life of self
sacrifice and service preaching the doc
trines of Christ. At the training college
there is young boy who hopes one day to
be sent as a missionary to China. He is
studying the Chinese language and the
laws and customs of the country at Co
lumbia, in addition to taking the regular
training course. Another boy, skilled
musician, who perfected his violin studies
at the Conservatory at Brussels and later
studied two years at Yale, came to the Sal
vation Army College because he wanted to
learn to serve his fellowmen. A Swedish
woman, with an excellent head for bust
ness, has sold two of her successful board
ing houses and is cadet and doesn't care
what job headquarters is going to give her.

my life because I can't be content unless I

others to Him.
No man or woman looking for an easy
training course would ever choose the
Salvation Army training college, for here
the cadets are put through nine months Of
intensive work and study. At $50 the
bugle sounds reveille, for the Salvation
Army is military, and by o'clock every
cadet must be ready In uniform to attend
the first class after having attended to
roll CALL breakfast, cleaning up, making the
beds and tidying the dormitories.
From 9 to IL classes are held, then comes
luncheon, and the afternoon is devoted to
music (every Salvationist can sing and
play some band instrument), sewing prac-
tice in visitation in homes, outdoor speak
ing, first aid instruction and general duties.
Eager to Campaign
For the 5000 900 Fund
Twice week and twice on Sundays the
cadets conduct their own street meetings.
with their own band and tambourines
That is the part of the work they enjoy
most. At present there is keen competi
tion among them to see who will be chosen
to conduct meetings in other parts of the
city during the ten days from May / to
May 10, when the Salvation Army will
campaign for 100000 for its Home Service
Fund. The ablest speakers will be selected,
and as the contest now stands it seems as

The teaching staff is composed of ten
Army officers, with Col Charles Miles
and Capt. (Mrs) Miles at the head and
although every member Of the staff is
trained teacher (Col. Miles has several COL
lege degrees) the weekly payroll for this
staff of experts amounts to s107.50 Col.
Miles and Capt. (Mrs) Miles together re
ceive SIT week for their services, and
their duties are comparable to those OF a
college president, in addition to mothering
and fathering every cadet and attending
to the management of the domestic side
of the establishment. Salaries of the other
teachers range from $3.50 for single men to
$3.50 for a married captain, with main
tenance.

we just do it ourselves. We are fortunate
in always having among the cadets several
who know various trades. This year one
of our boys is an expert in gardening.
See that big tree out there? Last year we
had given it up as dead, and then this
cadet took to curing it, patching up the
huge hole in the trunk, and now the twigs
are budding.
"Some of the boys know electricity,
others plumbing, some are good mechanics
and take care of repairs on the truck.
others know how to fix the band instru-
ments, and whenever there is damage to
be fixed, whether it be rip in a table
cloth or broken pipe, there is some one
there to do it. And the girls are the same.

Several Engaged Couples
Are Among Students

The least of Col. Miless troubles is due
to the coeducational character OF the col.
lege. The young men and women are never
together except during lectures, and then
they sit on separate sides of the ROOM Out
side class hours the girls occupy one part
Of the house with their own study rooms,
dining room and music room, and the boys
another. Only couples who are engaged
before they came to college and married
couples are permitted to spend their leisure
hours together.
"The others must obey the rules and be
content with teasing their lucky class
mates who can have a sweetheart" Col.
Miles said. 'and they do obey, or rather
most OF them do"
There are four engaged couples and three
married couples at the college now.
During the last year four of the col
lege's graduates have been assigned to the
missionary field. Capt Carl Swedner went
from the college to work in the leper col
ony in Java. DR.. and Mrs. Noble went to
Thomas Emery Hospital in India, and Capt.
Trygve Augustinsen went to China. or the
present cadets at the college Col Miles
said he was certain that IL he asked how

notice to leave for South Africa, India or
any other distant land the majority would
respond In the Affirmative.

THIS WEEK W'ILL SEE END
or SOFT COIL STRIKE
According to Statement BY John I.
Lewis just Prior to Con-
ference.

Cleveland, Aug tBy the Associated
Press With a definite program for
ending the soft coal strike ready for
consideration tomorrow, the joint con
ference of the leaders of the striking
union miners and coal operators to-
day marked time awaiting the expected
arrival of other operators, especially
those Of Illinois and Indiana. In addi-
tion, operators were expected from sew
eral other states scattered over the
soft coal fields, for the program con-
templated a settlement on substan-
tally a national basis. No sessions Of
the joint conference were held to-day.
President John l.. Lewis Of the min
ers, as also leaders among the oper-
ators here, were optimistic regarding
the probability of settlement. which.
If accomplished, would be followed al
most Immediately by the union ask
ing anthracite operators to renew the
wage negotiations that were broken off
in June after several weeks of fruit
less effort toward settlement. Mr..
Lewis had expressed the opinion that
"this week viii see the end Of the btu
minous coal controversy"
In brief, the program for settlement
called for re-establishment of the wage
contracts that expired last March 81,
the eve Of the beginning of the strike
that has continued more than four
months and also the creation of an adj
yisory commission of inquiry through
whose influence. it was expected that
disputes would be settled without
strikes. The re-estabIished wage con-
tracts would continue in force until
next April /, and meanwhile the con-
mission would draft recommendation
for future contracts. The "check Off
system of operators collecting union |
dues would remain through the re-es-
tablishment of the old contracts and
there would be change of working con-
ditions. Mine union leaders and oper.
ators. who had gathered kere for the |
Joint conference, said they had assur-
ances that number of prominent oper-
ators of Illinois and Indiana would |
have delegates here tomorrow. IL being I
expected that the Indiana delegation
would include A. NJ. Ogle, president Of |
the National Coal association.
Though the strike may be settled on
4 nationwide scale. there is expected
10 remain several thousands of miners
still on strike. The largest number
would be in central Pennsylvania.
