TWO MORE Minis
GRADS JOIN ARMY
William Lee And Edward
Sharpe Make Fine Entry
Examination Showing

William J. Lee, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. J. Lee, Jr., 1101 Mercer
Ave-, Colonial Village, and Ed
ward H. Sharpe, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. G. Sharpe, 1904 Perry
Ave, make the Oath and 25th 1916
MINIS graduates to enter the Reg
ular Army through the Whining
ton Army Recruiting Station, Capt.
N. G.. Cottle, commanding officer,
said yesterday.
Both Lee and Sharpe made an
excellent score on the Army's en-
trance classification test. They
stated in an interview with Capt.
Cottle, prior to departure to Fl.
Bragg, that they were sure they
would enjoy their 10 months in the
service. Both boys will make a de-
termined effort to attend Officers
Candidate School, and will enter
college under the 'GI" Bill oil
Rights, after discharged.
Capt. Cottle pointed out that the
approaching deadline of October
S, is the last day for men to enter
the Army and be guaranteed the
full provisions of the "GI' Bill OF
Rights. He expressed the opinion
that young man should give serious
consideration to this opportunity
which provides the most liberal
educational benefits ever offered
to Americas youth.
The "GI' Bill provides, in ad-
dition to many other special bene-
fits, that following a three year
enlistment the government will
foot the bill for a full 48 months
at any college, trade, or business
school for which applicant can
qualify. The same opportunity,
with lesser period of schooling, is
also offered to two year and 1s
months enlistees.

Women Veterans

Women who served in the Army, the
Navy, the Marines, and are now return
ing home in large numbers are demand
ing more consideration from the Veter-
ans Administration and employers gen.
orally. They feel that with the chief
effort of the nation toward veterans
expended upon the men of the armed
services they have been placed at a
disadvantage.
General Omar Bradley, chief of the
Administration, has a WAC lieutenant
colonel at his elbow. It is therefore to
be assumed that the women in uniform
will have fair break there, not only
because of her presence but because
General Bradley naturally thinks with
out prejudice, and has found occasion
to commend the services of the women's
branches of the military establishment.
What employers feel about taking
them into their places of business is not
so easily forecast. They have learned
many tasks customarily performed by
men-general mechanics, chauffeuring,
driving trucks, helping electricians,
operating towers, welding, inspecting
armament and such like occupations.
Whether firms in these lines will be
willing to give them jobs especially if
men veterans with families are avail
able and equally skilled, remains to be
seen.
Among the more difficult problems
IN the wake of war is the reimbursement
OF women who so valiantly helped as.
sure victory. Many thousands have been
doing mems work. They will find it diff
cult not only to reaccustom themselves
to feminine life and work but even to
lind employment in the line of endeavor
they were best fitted for, before thew
learned mems trades. It is not only an
economic but social problem.
There is a simple solution the
nome and motherhood. But young
women who have enjoyed the independ-
ence OF war service are not as home
minded as their mothers and grand
mothers' If General Bradley can con-
vince even small proportion of return
ing women veterans that they cannot

other successfully without instruments.
This was the first of more than
twenty trips he made to this country,
during which he cured congenital club
foot and other serious orthopedic all

enormous fees from families able to
pay, but held free clinics from the At
lantic to the Pacific, devoting the same
care and attention to the poor that he
gave the rich. Many children of 1902
and later years, sorely afflicted before
his coming, are physically fit men and

of poor parents. Because of his clear
singing voice he was selected as a choir
boy in the Benedictine monastery of St.
Paul in Carinthia, where he received
his rudimentary education from the
monks. He took his medical course at
Vienna, determined to become sur
geon, but found that he was being
poisoned by the use Of carbolic acid in
his bath and carbolic spray during
operations, as first advocated by Lister.
He needed the advice of an older
doctor and turned to manipulation, soon
becoming so skilled in it that the Span
ish Queen called him to treat her son
Alfonso. From that time on his reputa-
ton became worldwide.
The controversy over his methods
and treatments was long-lived, but for
the good he did his name is revered in
many homes and his memory will be
precious long after it is forgotten.

National Defense Week

Stamp Defiance chapter, Daughters
If the American Revolution, as always,
is sponsoring Wilmington's observance
of National Defense Week, now IN pro-
qress. While the military establishment
ponders new methods of insuring Sc
curitv in event of attack and the gov
eminent exercises its powers to help
establish peace on a lasting interna-
tional basis, the chapter turns to the
things that buttress our national
strength, our heritage from the Found
ing Fathers Constitution, with its
great Bill of Rights,-and encourages
study of the lives and performance Of
the outstanding men and women of the
Revolutionary period as guide to the
quality of citizenship so sorely needed
in these troubled times.
It is a splendid undertaking, well
meriting public cooperation.
1t so happens that Washington's
birthday anniversary tomorrow falls
within the period assigned to Defense
Week. No better example of citizenship
is to be found than in his life.
Modern historians have done noble
task in debunking the tradition that so
long set Washington aside as a prig
and bringing him forth as a mere man
subject to mortal frailties but withal
50 earnest, so consecrated to liberty,
that he could conquer weakness for it's
sake and lead pioneer people, beset by
contradictory purposes, through bitter
war into rudimentary peace.
Here was the kind of leadership we
need so greatly today. We have reason
to study Washington's life more closely
not only on his knees in the snow at
Valley Forge or in his silken raiment
taking the Presidents oath in New
York, or delivering his Farewell Ad-
dress, but in his violence of temper
under severe provocation which, be-
cause he was right at heart, he learned
to cast out, as it violated the higher
purposes of his life and the standards
Of existence with which he sought In
endow the people he led.
No better time for closer observance
of Washington's career could be found
than during National Defense Week.

Halls first beat was the Wrights-
vile area.
He was there, incidentally, when
the big blow of 1907 whipped the
Atlantic and Wrightsville Sound
into such a frenzy that they met
and for a while it looked as if
there'd be no Wrightsville Beach
for the folks of this day and time
to enjoy.
First, Mr.. Hall was a member of
what was called the foot patrol.
Then he was elevated, so to speak.
He became a mounted policeman,
rode a horse all around town after
he was pulled back in from
Wrightsville.
But the machine age was coming
into its own and horses were on the
way out. The policemen started
riding, OF all things. bicycles. Some
OF them rode motorcycles when
they came in, but Mr.. Hall stuck
pretty closely to the bicycle. He
stuck so closely, in fact, that the
officials made him a sort of major
domo of the bicycle brigade.
When the bike patrolmen had
trouble with their steeds, Mr.. Hall
fixed them up,-the bikes, of
course, not the patrolmen.

more firmly entrenched, Mr.. Hall
