me say that there is no necessity tor
applying for enrolment at the
present time. Applications that
have been received will be held IN
file until the bill becomes a law,
but no preference will be given
because of priority Of application.
On Tuesday, March II. the House Of
Representatives passed the measure
and it Is now upon the calendar OF
the Senate awaiting the considera-
ton of that body. To become law it
must be passed by both houses Of
Congress and be signed by the Presi-
dent When this has been effected,
the Secretary of War will issue
regulations and information which
1 am sure will be carried in detail
in all Of the newspapers. Until that
time it will not be possible for any
person to enroll in the corps.
Thousands of fine American
women are awaiting eagerly the
opportunity to serve their country.
A very careful selection will be made
of all applicants. for the bill pre-
scribes very clearly that only women
of excellent character will be per-
mitted to become members. That
provision will be enforced most as
siduously.
- The Secretary of War, Mr.. Stim.
son, and the Chief of Staff, Gen.
Marshall, both have urged enact
ment of the measure, stating that
the services of the corps are needed
urgently in our war effort. AS Gen.
Marshall wrote: There are innu-
merable duties now being performed
by soldiers that actually can be done
better by women"
Many Types Of Assignments.
There are many assignments con-
templated for members of the corps,
and I will give few of them. They
are: Clerks. machine operators, tel
ephone, telegraph, teletype and
switchboard operators, pharmacists,
dietitians, hostesses, librarians, the
ater employees, welfare workers, post
exchange employees, plotters, tellers
and supervisors in information and
filter centerS. These are but a few.
Without question there will be other
categories in which they will be used.
The War Department has indi-
Gated that it wants to use about
10000 members of the Women's
Army Auxiliary Corps Immediately
in the aircraft warning service of
the Interceptor Command. This
service now employs some 5000
women in its information and filter
center These are unpaid volunteers
who have rendered excellent service
as a patriotic duty. The informa-
tion and filter centers are highly
organized installations, a large part
of which can be operated better by
women than by men, but in time of
war it is essential that irregular
attendance and excessive turnover
in personnel be eliminated by sub
jecting all such personnel to strict
military supervision and control.
The aircraft warning service con-
stitutes one of the most fertile fields
for the employment of the Women's
Army Auxiliary Corps. This service
requires the development of highly
trained teams which can function
under stress without the loss of a
single second. To receive, plot and
disseminate information of an ap-
preaching air attack fast enough SO
that friendly planes may intercept
the enemy, antiaircraft be ready to
fire, blackouts be enforced and the
civilian organizations be ready is
tremendous task. The waste of five
seconds may cost hundreds of lives.

Representatives 1t was changed in
but one main particulars limita-
ton OF 10000 members was placed
upon the corps. This change was
satisfactory to me and to the War
Department. The ultimate size of
the organization will depend upon
military requirements. They can
not be determined at this time The
War Department very much desires
to initiate the organization of the
corps, get 1t on an efficient basis,
with sufficient strength now to meet
immediate needs, and have it avail
able for expansion If and when the
time comes that such expansion is
necessary.

that 1t shall be the only womens
organization authorized to serve
with the Army, exclusive of the Army
Nurse Corps. Nothing in this act
shall be construed to affect or change

Many women volunteers have al
ready been trained in this type Of
work but they cannot afford to give
1t their full time. This bill will
permit the Army to organize, uni
form and pay these women so that
they can maintain a 24-hour watch
over our coasts and insure us against
surprise attacks.
Many Of the letters I have re-
ceived have been from women who
have been most anxious to do their
part in war work but who have
been unable to do so because of
financial reasons. Because they are
compelled to earn their own living
they have not been able to afford the
time and money necessary in be-
coming a part Of the various volun-
teer organizations. Under the pro-
visions of this bill these women can
take their places in war work and
receive pay for doing so.
Purely Voluntary.
Please let me make it clear to
you that there is no draft or con-
Scription provision in the bill. The
organization will be purely volun-
tary and the members will be used
for noncombatant service only.
There is no restriction as to where
members of the corps may be sent.
1t is left entirely to the discretion of
the Secretary OF War.
In no sense will the Women S
Army Auxiliary Corps be in COM
petition with the Office OF Civilian
Defense. the Red Cross or any other
of the fine voluntary services now
in existence and which are doing
splendid patriotic work. The func-
ton of the corps will be military in
character and its primary purpose
is to release men for combat duty by
placing in their jobs women operat-
ing under the direct supervision of
the Army. 1t will also allow men to
remain in munitions plants. Their
work is needed so greatly in war
production today.
The plan is simple and dignifled,
and is based on an arrangement
which Great Britain has used with
success. In England and Canada
women's auxiliaries have released
many thousands of soldiers for more
active participation in the war.

Must Be Wide AUdke
To GrOU Good Fruit

Early spring weather conditions
favored the control of insects and
diseases attacking Ohio fruit but
conditions have changed since May
Is and growers now have to be wide
awake to protect fruit from damage.
Growers can get advice on spray
ing by having their names placed on
county agricultural agents mailing
lists to receive the spray service
letter.
These letters are prepared by the
extension men at the University and
give specific directions about ma
terials to use and times to apply
sprays to control certain diseases or
insects. The time of applying sprays
is very important in securing ade-
quate protection for the fruit.
The last spray service letter tells
growers that codling moths have
been flying since May %, at Lorain
and Port Clinton. The letter ad-
sioCo sHC dppiiSdeioA Va oSSoiiu
cover spray for codling moth control,
starting June 20 and finishing as
soon as possible.
The spray also can be used to con-
troll apple scab by adding the proper
kind and amount of sulfur. Apple
scab is reported in many Ohio orch
ards and rains prevented timing the
early sprays to give adequate con-
troll of this disease.
Orchard owners who have had
trouble with apple maggot are adj
vised to repeat the cover spray
about July 10, using either the lead
arsenate recommended for codling
moth control or calcium arsenate.
Present prospects indicate that prices
for clean fruit will more than repay
costs of producing it in 1912.

Bluffton dads were really in the
money when Fathers day rolled
around last Sunday. If you think
Dad wasn't handsomely remembered
you just don't know what's going
on. Good times and full pay en-
velopes in the Bluffton district were
reflected in shirts, ties and socks
showered upon dads in such guam
titles that Bluffton retailers found
their shelves practically swept bare
of these items when they closed up
shop Saturday night.
Uncle Sans navy is really going
places these days-thanks to its

how to operate it. Paul Martinka,

nights electrical storm put out of

shooter was kept busy with a job
big enough for half-dozen men.
If your phones out just be patient.
Remember the storm was the worst
in recent years for telephone dam
age and extra telephone repairmen
are not to be had
Another of Bluffton's claims to
distinction as town that is diff
ferent is the fact that it has a
family of opossums that call this
their home. The animals have a
nest in the vicinity of the Steiner
hatchery on Cherry street but are
seen at night in various parts of
the business district. Since moving
to town more than a year ago they
have become tame and have little
fear of humans.
1t was refreshing the other day
to find a Bluffton woman-we prom
ised not to use her name-who has
the courage to fly in the face of the
age-old rule that Monday is washday.
Her washday is Saturday instead of
Monday-for the very good reason
that daughter who is free from
school on Saturday can lend valuable
assistance. So the family washing
flaps on the line in solitary grandeur
in that neighborhood every Saturday
morning as proof that it is possible
to plan housework according to
reason rather than in obedience to
custom.

M a n n e r S
of the
Moment

The latest outdoor sport these
days is to try to figure out whether
or not the girls YOU pass are wear
ing stockings. With all the lotions
for making your legs look clad. some
of the girls are getting away very
neatly with stockingless wardrobe
But the whole idea still is just
novel enough to be considered a bit
daring
So observers are getting the habit
these DAYS of trying to figure it out.
They ought TO play real game.
Work 1t like you used to work
stamping white horses. After you
have stamped 100 girls without
stockings you get stroke of good
luck.
Anyhow, the more who play the
game right now the merrier. In a
month or so the novelty ought to
wear off, and then. perhaps, some
OF the more conservative girls will
dare TO try the lotions At the mo-
ment I'm stymied because hate to
have people staring at my legs. In
that respect I'm no pioneer.
