He said he is on terminal leave"
now, after touring Army camps all
over the country last year as phys
ical education instructor.
II taught 10000 officers and 3O0,0 900
enlisted men," he declared. "I
taught them my principles-the
light step, the clear eye, the ringing
voice."
The ringing voice" is another
part of his technique Maj. Smith
wants to introduce into the cadet
corps. To demonstrate, he jumped
to his feet again, stood stiffly and
snarled:
Present armS!"
That's how cadet officers give
commands now" he said. "Antago-
nistic, not clear and enthusiastic" :"
Takes Stance Again.
Taking his stance again, he lifted
his chin and pitched his voice higher
to give the same command.
you see" he said. Enthusiastic"
Still standing, he shouted orders
to represent an officer. After each
order he cringed and threw his
arms over his head to demonstrate
the feeling of an Army private
who had no experience giving orders
in the cadet corps.
"They get to be psycho-neurotics,
he said. Let them all shout their
own orders in unison in the high
school cadets. The mass command
is inspiring and teaches leadership"
He would not abolish the annual
company competitive drill, as DR..
Holmes once suggested, Maj. Smith
said.
Would Change System.
Let them have their drill" he
said. But change the system of
points. Entirely too many points
depend on how an officer turns his
saber. Give more points for the
light steps, moving eyes and quick
movements of the privates.
THE entire system of drilling the
boys could be much more Efficient"
he concluded. "It could be short
ened to allow boys to join varsity
teams as well as attending their
compulsory physical education five
times week"
Maj. Smith expressed the hope
that his ideas would not stir up a
lot of comment"
Il do not want to belittle," he
said. II just want to advocate the
more modern methods of training,
as are now used for Army officers"
DIR. Holmes Statement.
DR. Holmes said his ideas on
whom to recommend for Col.
Craigies position were not definitely
formulated. but that he is definitely
considering Maj. Smith. He said
he was mot sure" that 1t. Col.
William E. Barkman, assistant to
Col. Craigie, who is unanimously
backed by the military instructors,
will be willing to serve"
MY ideas are in peculiar nebu-
lous state" DR.. Holmes declared.
They are not clearcut."
DR.. Holmes recommendation
must go through Robert L. Haycock,
superintendent of schools. Mr.. Hay
cock in 1893 was first sergeant of
Company H, the first company or
ganized at the cadet-conscious
Western High School.
ANY one is free to make appli-
cation for appointment to fill
school positions" he said today. 1T
has been our policy, however,
wherever possible, to promote quail
fled personnel with years of service
in the schools"

Because I have to wear a safety turban all day, my scalp perspires and that washse out my waves and curls," complains a girl war worker What shall do?"
 Wear 8 vented head covering or perforate one that isn't. That's the best solution. If that isn't feas- ible, there are tricks to use. Why not-since you keep your topper on all day-put your hair up in comb- clinched waves or skewer up curlS and spear with hairpins before you put on your hat2 When you're ready to remove 1t at the end of a work ing day, you can run your pocket comb through your waves or curls and step out with an impeccable hair-do.
 When a perspiring scalp hoods hair with more oil than 1t needs. shampoo your locks more often When that's not convenient, there a handy temporizer in spraying dry ends of hair with brilliantine to make hair more uniformly oily and of the same color. Then, to freshen 1t up and make 1t fluffy sprinkle in talcum powder of corn meal and br1skly brush it out. With 1t will come most of the oil and dust that

 The rnanpower shortage, you've probably discovered to your woe, has hit the dry cleaning business, too. Gone are the days when you could leave dress with your clearer one day and pick it up the next. Today you must keep clothes clean longer and spruce them up at home in be- tween trips to the cleaner.
 For those of you wno have never tried your hand at 1t, here are the dos and don'ts to remember when dry cleaning at home:
 First, a warning. Cleaning fluids - even the so-called non-inflam- mable kind - are not to be used without full awarene~ of their danger. To prevent seventh col- umn accio'ntS caused by care- lessnesS, keep your dry cleaning fluid while in use on a steady stand or table. When not in use, cap 1t tightly al store in cool place.
 Work out of doors on clear day, if possible. If you do your cleaning indoors, work near on open window in room where there is no open fire or flame. Don't press the gar- garments until they are thoroughly dry. If you have to speed up the drying, use an electric fan, not heat.
 Remember when you rub wool on wool, silk on silk, there is danger of sparks and possibly ignition from hot iron. So, for safety's sake, use cotton or cotton cloth to apply

I cleaning solvents. And don't bring a lighted cigaret to the scene of oper- ation.
 To erase a spot without leaving ring, cushion 1t underneath with turkish towel and rub gently don't blitz 1t - with cotton or cloth dabbed in fluid. Wien your area around the spot and feather out the edges. If the spot resists gentle attack, give 1t up and send your troubles to the cleaner.
 Spots from tannin stains - cof- fee, soft drinks should be cleaned as soon after the n1ishap as possible. And don't press the stained garment until after the spot is erased. The longer spots remain, the tougher they are to remove. Pressing over spots sets stains and makes them impossible to remove.
 AS for ink spots, there are 2000 kinds of ink and |. spot can react in many ways to treatment. Try a solution of equal parts of glycer- inc and water on dark fabrics. If the garment is white, follow up with a few drops of peroxide.
 Oily spots? Stains of the min- eral oil type are fairly easy to re- move with spotting fluids, and there is no particular urgency to go after 1t. But spots from cooking oil or fats need to be treated immediate ly and gently tamped with a cloth pad after cleaning solvent Is applied.

 To prevent bedsores. the skin must be kept very clean and dry, and the pressure on bony prom inent parts must be relieved. NEEDS STIMULATION

Lubricating the hands with cocoa butter, sweet oil. or cold cream and applying 1t gent- ly to the skin at the exposed points helps to keep it soft and resistant to moisture.
 The bed must be kept dry and free of wrinkles, crumbs or other irritating material.
 The patient should be turned frequently to relieve the pressure under the shoulders, elbows, and heels, and between the knees and ankles when he lies on his side.
 Alcohol and talcun powder art drying to the skin and may in. crease its tendency to crack. They should be used cautiously on very sick and very old patients.
