lowed in Arlington County and

troll in Alexandria has been estab-
lished on the fourth floor of the
Donophin Building, King and Co.
iumbia streets, Alexandria.

versity of Rochester and Oberlin
College.
Born on a farm near North Hart
land, VT, January %, 1861, young
! Willard aided his father and at
tended the district school until he
was 16. He spent two years in high
school, taught one year and then
entered the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College at Amherst but was
forced to quit in his first year be-
cause of eye trouble. That was
1888.
1t was then that he entered the
railroad world through place as
track laborer. From there he went
to firing a locomotive and later ad-
vanced to locomotive engineer with
a road in Michigan. Next he went to
the 500 Line as conductor, mechan-
ical foreman. trainmaster and finally
superintendent of transportation.
Joined B. e. o. in 1899.
This experience paved the way
for successive executive positions be-
ginning in 1899, when he was made
assistant general manager OF the
Baltimore & Ohio. He went to the
Erie in 1901 as assistant to the
president, later becoming first vice
president and general manager OF
that road. The Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy took him in 1904,
making him second vice president
of the system and also president OF
the Colorado Midland Railway and
vice president of the Colorado q
Southern.
In 1910 Mr.. Willard went back to
the Baltimore & Ohio as president
In October, 1916, when it appeared
the United States would enter the
World War, Mr.. Willard was named
as a member of the Advisory Com
mission of the Council of National
Defense, formed by President Will
son. A few weeks after formal
declaration of hostilities he was
made chairman of the commission.
In that latter capacity he was in
strumental in organization of the
Railroad War Board and directed
the coordination Of steam roads for
war purposes. -i' -"+''
The War Industries Board was
formed in November, 1917, with Mr..
Willard as chairman, to cooperate
with the War and Navy Depart
ments in supplying munitions. But
that board had no legal sanction
and Mr.. Willard considered it futile
He, therefore, resigned and went
back to the Baltimore & Ohio. He
was commissioned a colonel of en-
gineers on November 2, 1918, but on
the eve of his sailing for France the
armistice was signed.
Mr.. Willard was married March
2, 1885, to Bertha Leona Elkins, a
schooldays sweetheart of North
Troy, VT.
Surviving are his widow, his
daughter -in-laW, Mrs. Daniel Will
lard, jr., and four grandchildren
Both sons are dead Harold, the
older, died during the influenza epi-

After all, declared Robert Nathan
OF the War Production Board, for
mer co-ordinator of the Office of
Production Management, the United
States has achieved up to date
only a $4,000 100000 war machine.
Hitler started in 1899 with one
valued at 100000, ,00O,0 900 in Ameri-
can money.
At Start of Production.
Even so, he said, much of the
$40,000,000 900 has been spent for
equipment only incidental to war
such as military posts, naval bar
racks and merchant ships. The
Nation is at the start he indicated
of its production of real shooting
equipment. Total spending, largely
for this main purpose, now is at a
rate of $4,000, 100000 a year. In
the next six months, Mr.. Nathan
said the shooting equipment pro-
duced will be about equal to that
turned out in the past two years
"We must be realistic he said
"in recognizing that our cumulative
production to date is not too i'm
pressive and that manufacture Of
weapons must be ever increasing
Few apparently realize, he
stressed, what this all-out war ef-
fort now starting will mean in terms
of civilian supplies, relative harsh
ness of living, making the most out
of labor and capital
Nobody ventured to predict what
this picture will be-for the United
States. But Sir Give Baillieu, heac
of the British Raw Materials Mis-
sion in Washington, gave vivic
picture of what it has meant tt
Englishmen up to date.
Out of a total population-men
women and children-of $4,000, 900
at least 100000 are in full-time
war activity, either directly in the
services or in war production. Thi!
includes II per cent of the boys anc
81 per cent of the girls between
| IA and IT.
Quitting Jobs Not Permitted.
Men work from S. to 70 hours 6
week. More than 5,500,000 womer
work from 48 to SIS hours a week ir
fields and factories. Workers are
prohibited from quitting their jobs
| They must work wherever ordered
even if it means breaking up fam.
lilies and exchanging well-paid fol-
poorly paid positions.
Business is vigorously Shackled
Plants have been confiscated right
| and left for new sort of "produc-
ton lines of war materials. Those
engaged in manufacturing essentia
civilian goods have been reduced tc
a minimum and only the more ef-
| flcient allowed to stay in business.
The civilian plants which remain
open run on the profit basis as be-
fore. But they must turn a pre-
scribed part of their profits over tt
their closed competitors to meet
plant carrying charges.

Volunteers may fill the August

therefore, postpone induction of the

be the first of the previously de-
ferred group to be called.
The August call is limited to white
registrants, some of whom already
have been sent to board physicians

Among all the registrants being sent
for board physicals this month, 10
per cent are 1-B men.

it was said. Present plans call for
l-B men to serve with corps area

4 Long War

The question arises, what is a
long war? A long war is regarded
as spanning decade or more. If
this war lasts 10 years, it will be
the longest war in the past three
centuries. The Thirty Years war
lasted from 1913 to 1913. Several
Greek and Roman wars extended
we'll over 20 years, and the Hun
dred Years war, between France
and England, lasted from 1887 to
1853.
Wars in which America has en-
gagged since it became a nation
have lasted, on an average, less
than four years, although the Rev.
olution officially asted eight
years.

Here's the Latest Style:
Dresses With Apron Front

Here's the latest bit of fashion
gossip. It's all about the dresses
with cleverly designed apron fronts.
This new fashion calls for a pencil
slim skirt, at the front of which
there is tie-on apron effect. Some
times it is achieved with a cascade
drape of material. Again it is a
pleated tie-on that makes the apron.
However, the cleverest of all, be-
cause it introduces the right print
accent, is the applique of cut out
floral prints. The effect is just about
as charming as fancy can picture,
especially if corresponding touch
of the print appears on the sleeves.
