to these units for instruction in

present, there are 10 of such train
ing units, the majority in The
South. It is anticipated that more
will be created.
White and Negro teachers are
needed, both men and women.
There are no age limits for appli-
cantS. instruction is comparable TO
that given in the first four grades
of elementary schools, but it is not
necessary that an applicant have
experience in primary instruction.

three hours before it is to be served
as iced coffee.

Avoid "short cuts" in making
iced coffee. If regular strength hot
coffee is poured over ice cubes, the
melting ice robs the coffee of its
flavor. If leftover coffee is used for
iced coffee, the drink will lack flavor
and aroma. Brewed coffee loses both
when allowed to stand for some
time.
For good hot coffee to start with,
measure quantities of coffee and
water accurately: two level table,
spoons of coffee to each 6 OF. of
water is recommended. Never allow
coffee to boil, don't reuse coffee
grounds, serve coffee as soon as

To enjoy iced coffee at it's very best,
start with good hot coffee, and then
follow through like this:
Pour hot, double-strength, freshly

ice. The double-strength coffee
makes up for dilution caused by
ice. To make double-strength coffee,
place in coffee-maker the regular
amount of coffee normally used for
brewing hot coffee, but only one
half the amount of water. Do not
put twice the amount of coffee with
the usual amount of water, as this
doesn't permit proper extraction.

iced coffee is to pour preceded

God watch over and protect them,

Let's pray that your G. H. and
others over there in England will
be having a lot of spare time on
their hands, for it's a sure sign
when you are quite busy that our
wounded are coming in and keep
ing you on the move. Frankly,
since wars cause many casualties,
it's very comforting thought to
know that they are being cared for
in the best manner possible. How
ever, there is little we can do to
change for the better this side of
the picture on the Home Front, ex-
cept to see that you receive all the
supplies and equipment necessary
to help the Boys when they arrive.
This we understand is being taken
care of in most efficient manner,
and it is agreed by everyone that
the best is none too good.
Good luck to you Clifton, and
may you continue on in your job
of healing the wounded, and easing
the pain of our brave soldiers who
are determined to remove the
menace during 1914.
Our very best wishes will follow
you wherever you go in this work.

Tommy, we are certainly glad to
welcome you into the Column. It's
been nice hearing from you and we
TRUST that you will continue to
sound off a bit eery so often as
ong as your enlistment lasts; that
means until the war is over and
column of this type will have ceas-
ed to serve its purpose.
Speaking about Stanley Boyd.
This young soldier is now a Ser
.geant in the U. S. Army Air Corps,
and he is stationed somewhere in
the South Pacific area. His full
address will send through to you
under separate coer even before
this issue of The Smyrna Times is
published. 1t is quite possible that
you may run into him in your
travels out that way. Course, the
Pacific Ocean is a mighty large
body Of water, and just because
you two Boys are both located out
there does not make the assurance
that you'll meet up. However, you
and Stanley can both keep on the
lookout for each other after you
make your contact, and here's
wishing you the very best of luck
in your efforts. Stanley has been
down in the "Hot Corner" for some
months now. No doubt he has been
lin some of the recent happenings
THAT are being carried out jointly
by the U. S. Navy and the U. S.
Army over the vast expanse of the
Pacific area. 1t sure has been
mighty good news to all of US.
Tojo is now on the defensie-when
not on the rJIn-and all that makes
up for final victory. No, it won't
be one of those easy affairs, but it
ds one of those things that certain
ly will be. If the European phase
of this war is finished by the end
of 1914. the whole sneaking gang
of slant-eyed Jap Rats out there in
the Pacific will, for the first time,
realize what total war really is. AS
things are now going, we're not do
ing badly-not by a darn sight
but when the whole striking force
of the United Nations is turned in
their direction, TOTO and his bunch
of half civilized pirates will be re-
paid a hundred fold for the two
thousand white crosses that mark
the graves of our Pearl Harbor
victims. Yes, and you can add an
other hundred fold on top of that!
Still we won't be even. Anyone in
their right mind knows that it
would take more than two hundred
Japs to equal one American in any
way you want to figure it, except
where sneaking deceit and fanatic
barbarity is concerned. In this re-
spect, the Jap Rats hold number
one position. 1t is very doubtful if
they will ever change, but we can
place these pirates in such a posi-
ton, after this war is over, where
they will never again have the op-
portunity to menace other nations
again in the history of this world.
hanksT for your visit, sailor, and
do drop back for another one be-
fore long.
