THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1918 Self-Education :; Uncertainty of the future and the * Reeling that it is not worth while to start a career when military service ^appears so clear upon the horizon 'ihas drawn many a boy out of school at the completion of the high school f^ourse, or even earlier than that. ||This unsettling of their plan of life, ^coupled with patriotic desire to be ;of use to the country, will be respon- sible for the return of many men af- ;. ter the war into civic life, unequipped .for taking the place which they might -vhave had had they remained longer a;in school. For those who are wounded the -reconstruction work in the hospitals will serve to remedy this lack in pre- paration for work, but those who go ^through the term of the war unin- sured and return to their old pursuits i^with the experience of the war as ^;;their only addition to their educa- tional equipment, will find themselves handicapped for taking positions that require a deeper acquaintance with technical things than they have been ■r^'aojle tu secure in their few years in J:'sch\pol. M Th\erc is but one remedy for this Sisifuarion. a remedy which is open :j.to all^but optional and not in ac- ;|\cordan«(e with American habits. It :,19 self-eaucation after leaving school, ""the self-setting of study to be done, persistence in the endeavor to secure education under the handicap of the necessity to engage at once in work for remuneration. America is the land of opportunity. It is a country in which what a man springs from is of very much less ^importance than to what he achieves. We have numerous examples of men who have attained important posi- tions with a record of scant oppor- tunity and indefatigable determina- tion to secure the education neces- ■; sary to success. ■ It is their example which ought to be held before these young men of the America of today who have dropped their school course to enter the ser\ice of the country. It is the opportunity which lies open to men of .ability to make up for the lack of ; earljr advantage by application to the task of securing education after their first youth has passed. It is the pos- sibility of overtaking the opporunity once lost that should be impressed upon the boys who are leaving school before they are properly equipped for the work that they have the ca- pacity to do in the world. The jiced for educated men after the war is recognized in the attitude which the government has taken in the case of those young men who at the age of eighteen are called upon to register for military service. They are to be kept in school, trained un- der government supervision, prepared as long as they can be spared from service for the work which they will be called upon to do after the war. :• -For,-the "large number of young men who nave cut short 'their school work to enter service, this regula- tion is of no effect. And for them re- mains only the course of self-educa- tion, mode difficult, to be sure, but only the more likely to be effective for that- ?^^fe^Slifl?i:"-'^5-il M'$§$M^i SiHy Prudery ^'■jy.':^-^ Excessive pruddish women in Bloomington, Ind., have been offend- ed because the women who are work- ing in the plants engaged in the pro- duction of war supplies have adopted overalls as their dress during the working hours. They have brought the question of the propriety of such a costume before the city authorities and an investigation has been made. Fortunately to save the reputation of Bloomington for an intelligent grasp of the conditions of the day, the girls are to be indulged in their desire to dress in conformity with rules of safety and efficiency in work and those other women whose slight grasp of the situation is revealed by their opposition to overallcd women in dangerous employment have been given the rebuke which they deserve. When the question of modesty is really raised between the women clad in the all enveloping overalls, made of heavy denim or linen, and their critics clad in the sheer materials which are affected by womankind to- day, there is just one possible result, if the jury is made up of men who appreciate the service which the working women are giving to their country. The outcome of the dis- cussion in Bloomington ought to be that of every such exhibition of false modesty and disposition in persons of leisure to interfere with what does not concern them. The Prophet Fails J i! Some months ago Von Hindenburg thus assured his royal master: "Your imperial Majesty may rest assured of a speedy and complete victory over all our enemies," he said, prophesying the full success of the strategy of Berlin and the complete defeat of the world arrayed against the German army. Today there is less reason for be- lief in the accuracy of the military seer, less prospect of that speedy and complete victory which was so confidently expected a little while ago. Keep on Canning The canning season is at its height; the Food Administration says there is a possibility of a twenty-five- pound sugar allowance for September canning; there are a few more weeks before other war work for the fall gets into full swing;and another can- ning season is a year away. So here is the message to spread broadcast: If men from your family are in the army or navy, put up a few extra jars of food for them, they might need it; and if there are no men from your household in the military service, put it up for yourselves for you will need it. At any rate. CAN, and let events decide whether it is for peace or war. » GIVE FREE LEGAL AID "«^'telTO ALL REGISTRANTS (Continued from Page One) pose of correcting errors made in filling out questionaires without the aid of a legal assistant. M'lllK^Sllll Questionaire forms will go out at the rate of 10 per cent a day. The first draft of men of the 18 to .36 class will be called to military duty before the end of October. The order in which they will be called to camp will be established by ,.a., draw- ing held in Washington. t:£>-■{!,,■}/'} Given Seven Day Limit General Crowder made an appeal to registrants to aid in speeding up the draft machinery by returning questionaires, properly filled out, as soon as possible after receiving them. "Under the regulations," General Crowder said, "the registrant is given seven days within which to fill out the questionaire and return it to his local board. It is, however, the earnest hope at his office that the registrants will not require as much time as this." Printed leaflets, inserted in the questionaire, will instruct registrants desiring to claim deferred classifica- tion o'n the ground of being employed in necessary industries, occupations, or employment how to make claims. General Crowder announced this week that concerns engaged in the transportation of necessary com- modities may claim deferred classifi- cation for their employes. t v Registrants 3,624 Strong Draft board officials stated today that, up to date, 3,624 men had been counted as registered in district 3 last Thursday. This figure includes registrations which were reported the day of registration at which time 3,023 names had been' counted. STEALS JEWELRYiMm|i|i; ,^,.,,« AND CLOTHING;te§fl ItflL, JEWELS RETURNED ADMINISTRATORS -i GIVE SUGAR RULE Jewelryyvf consisting of at^Jarg- diamond solitaire, two other dia monds, a saphire, some amethysts, and a gold watch, altogether valued1 at $1,000; also two suit cases of clothing vanished from the home of! Mrs. Thomas C. Moulding, 1004! Greenwood avenue, early this week. With the jewels and wearing ap- paral also disappeared Miss Virginia Graves, the maid at the Moulding home. William S. Freeman of 711 Lake avenue, sometime after Miss Graves' unannounced and perhaps hasty de- parture, stumbled over an object on the sidewalk near the Moulding home which he a moment later dis- covered to be a handbag containing sundry jewelry. He turned the gems over to the Chief of Police William Siever who, notified of Miss Graves' leavetaking in turn handed the valuables over to the owner. Miss Graves very carelessly left her trunk and in it her picture and on it what is believed her permanent address. The police in and about Chicago are investigating the matter. Citizens of Freeport, aroused when the editor of the Herald, which had been published there for forty years, decided to move away, have decided to get out the paper themselves. ■The north shor.e. food ■ administrat- ors, C. D. Macplierson and John Westreicher stated this week that from now on the retail grocers on the north shore may sell to a city customer one week's 'family supply of sugar, and to a country or farm customer, a two weeks' family sup- ply, but not more in any case. The regulations limiting purchases to two pounds for city people and 5 pounds for country customers have been re- called, but the rule limiting each per- son 1o two pounds of sugar each month still holds good. The advanced price in sugar which went into effect on September 9, should not be over 11 cents a pound, and there should be no raise in the price of sugar which is old stock;' The food administrators believe the old stock will last until the first of October in most cases. This should keep the price of sugar down until that time. S >--.% :^fe^"flr":'-: "Reverend" attached to the cog- nomen of preachers tends to pre- judice wet and dry voters.

Racine believes itself to be the first city in the country to prepare for the erection of a monument to the memory of its men who have died in service in the present war. The shaft will be paid for by public sub- scription. mMkS} Herman Pomper, husband of Mrs. O. R. Pomper, 709 Elmwood avenue, was promoted to first lieutenant at Carnp Grant, Rockford, last Satur- day. Lieutenant Pomper won three gold medals for orations at New Trier while a student there. He entered the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Sheridan in June 1917, and was classed as a marksman at Camp Perry, Iowa. He is with the 161st Depot Brigade. Gabriel Silage brought back so much liquor from Chicago that it broke his suitcase clasps. A Kalama- zoo policeman discovered the contra- band contents when Silage opened the case to make repairs.
