and must not be content with machine
guns IN the air, for parhaps the time is
near when aerial cannOn will appear
Colonel Fabry presents three conclusions.
FIRST. France. so long as she bases her
existence and re- )ect for her rights upon
the prestige of her strength, must, be-
cause of her will for peace, maintain
such an army" Second. That the army,
sOlidIy constructed upon the lessons of
the war, ought to be definitely guided
toward the utilization and search for
more perfected ornaments than those
with which the enemy can be equipped,
SO that the artyy may retain the prepOnd-
erance Of force we are going to give 1t.
Third. The time may come when those
who must decide whether to refuse or TO
accept, or even anticipate war, will have
to bear a heavy responsibility, and be-
cause of the very brutality and efficacy
of the first blows struck, it is important
to give them, instead of receiving
them. The plan which is the third and
final stage in the reorganization Of
national land air defense, provides
for thirty-two divisions of infantry,
each with four regiments and detach-
ments of cavalry and { .ilIerY, the caVaI-
ry being reduced to five divisions. Re
serves would We formed by thirty regl-
ments of cavalry and forty-eight regl-
ments of artillery. The army would m
clue also . great number OF technical
units. The aviation force would be
composed of 1872 combat sQaadrOnS, 10
observation squadrons, and "a auxiliary
service sQuadrons, with a personnel OF
about SO, 600. The plan is based on
eighteen months service each class OF
conscripts furnishing about 20. 900 with
about 100, 600 professional soldiers con
stantIy in the army. The officers would
)e reduced about one ffth from the period
before the war, there remaining lOl gen
erals of division and a total of about 81, OOO
officers. A table comparing the pro-
posed organization with the army at the
en- Of the war shows a slightly less per
centage in the infantry, hospital service
and administrative employees, a greater
percentage Of tanks, artillery and avla-
ton. The cavalry numbers mere than
at the time of the ArmistiCa, but IS re-
duced from what had been originally in
tended. The total army will number
$50, 900 and will be composed of AGO, 600
French troops and 100, 600 c0lonials and
TO- 900 foreign DICTIONARIES. It is pro-
posed to have the second colonial forces
more closely interviewer with the French
troops.

HERE'S PROPER WAY
TO COOK A HAN

Ham is one Of the luxuries of
gcool weather. Properly managed &
is not an expensive luxury, as there
should be no waste to it. Soak the
ham over night in cold water. The
Next day, if the housewife has that
great convenience, an enc meled ham
boiler, place the ham in tha. and
cover with cold water. Bring the
water to the boiling point and then
cook slowly, allowing thirty min
utes to the pound.
If the family is large enough 40
cat the ham within reasonably
short time, leave the ham to cool
in the w;pser in which it was cook
ed. Skin carefully and cover with
sugar and cracker crumbs. Place
in roasting kettle and cook half an
hour.
If the family is small, keep the
skin on the ham and bake half an
hour. Only remove the skin as
the ham is cut. In either case it is
much more economical never. to gut
q ham until it is cold. ~

been making n thorough study, OF
this matter for some time, is much
needed and is !, practical solution
for a big problem The present
junior college is highly satisfactory
in its sphere, but school with
, county financial backing would be
in position to meet wider demands.

they should. She spoke of the eff

cd upon the fact that parents do
not keep so closely in couch with
the high school problems. She
suggested that fathers and mothers
watch carefully the grades which
their children are receiving, and
if they are not entirely satisfacto-
ry that a trip to the school and n
talk with the teachers may reveal
where the difficulty. lies.
Mrs. j. b. Hockett, president Of

For 40 years I have been famous
beauty. Now, at the age of GO, | am
the most talked-about woman in
America as an example of peren-
NAL youth.
The reason is this: My mother and
I, many years ago, searched the
world to find the best beauty helps
in existence. They multiplied my
beauty, and / became the rage. They
have kept my beauty to grand
old age,
am convinced that these helps
can bring like results to millions.
And l have decided to enable. all
to get them.
Easy, Simple Ways
I do about what you do. But the
difference is that l employ the best
helps science knows.
You use clay, perhaps. Any wo-
man who omits it does herself in
Justice. But you use crude and
muddy clays which I quit years ago
| use a modern clay, white, refined
and dainty. A clay perfected by ct
years of scientific study.
Mine I call my White Youth Clay
1t is fully ten times as efficient as
ordinary clays. The new complexion
that it brings amazes and delights
Many women in 80 minutes seem tC
drop ten years.
Clay brings rosy, clear complex
ions. 1t takes out the causes o.
blackheads and blemishes. 1t firms
the skin, combats all lines ant
wrinkles. The women who employ
it stand out in every crowd.

clays. 1t brings multiplied results
The cost is so cents and 81.
