Good Work The action of the newly organiz- ed group of East avenue residents in keeping_the zoning issue alive is to be commended. It is only a question of lime be- ‘lore zoning will be in effect in this hity. and with this realization in mind the East. awnue residents are helping the cause along by furnish- ing material so that the question can receive continued publicity. The Mayor and others are to be requested to address a meeting in BQtember at which the question of boning will his once again actively revived. It might be a good suggestion to "range for one or a series of public debates. free from the heat of poll- tical controversy. at which adher- ents and opponents of measure could frankly air their views. Why members of the Board of Estimate continue their steadfast opposition to zoning is more or less a mystery. Some say they faxo'r it. but are unwilling to appropriate money to bring it into effect. Zoning is showing its benefits in cities and towns on every side of lit—and will do the same thing here. What—Darrow Moant “Man never changed a plant or animal by breeding and domestica- tion except to change it for the worst." The author of the statement was Clarence Darrow, principal mcmv ' ber of the defense forces in the anti- evolution trial in Dayton. When he made it some time ago. he occasioned much surprise. Some persons looked upon his words as a . refutation of the stand he is taking in the trial. But Darrow intended the statement to be, taken quite differently than most people inter- pret it. What he meant is this: . The variations which men have produced in plants and animals by careful selection for the. develop- ment of certain qualities are some- thing of which they are vastly ’ ‘proud. as they have reason to be. But every improvement has been " . from the standpoint of man's own . gated animals. needs and tastes. and never from that of the plant or animal itself. Our gardens are full of flowers far . jlarger and more beautiful than their “wild" relatives and progen- itors. but almost all of them have "become uable to take care of themselves in the struggle for life. Many are~unable to stand alone. but must have the support of a stake which they would have scorn- . ed in their better days.

' o Michael’s (By mosses) CHAPTER 143. Michael echoed his protestations of regret over their “quarrel" as he walked with Lilah to Menlow House through the silent. monon- less night. Two hours before he had sworn to himself to make her apologise to him. Now he was apologising to her. She. too. be- came imbued with a spirit of con- fession and repentance. She surprised him when said: "I’m so dreadfully Michael. wouldn‘t have it if I hadn't been in a jealous mood resulting from your telling me that Horner girl had been in your office. seeking work. 1—" Ho protested. but her admission of her Jealousy gave him a sort of she sorry. done seineh satisfaction. "Why. dear- est!" . "What did you tell her?" “I told her that I didn't have any place in mind.‘ but to come back in a few days. I said that just to put her off. if she comes back. then I‘ll just tell her that there doesn't seem to be a job for anyone as poorly equipped as she is in They were passing a street light Lilah looked him squarely in the eyes. "Are you sure you're going to do that. Michael?" His eyes did not waver. but they blinked. "Of course. dear." His voice did not imply that he was cer- tain. “But. oh by the way! Lon- nie has a great scheme! He thinks it would be a great idea for some cultivated persons to také Claudio under their wings and make a lady out of her. Maybe they could marry her off to some millionaire. I think it's a great idea. There Noni HL oorsfl'l‘ BELOW: TO Marriage is little enough beauty in the world, and certainly too few beautiful women, so we ought not allow any beauty to go to waste." "I suppose Lonnie thinks he is a properly cultivated person to un- dertake this great experiment?" The corners of her mouth twisted themselves into a sort of grin. "No." He paused. annoyed by her tone. "He knows we'd have to put her in charge of some respect- able uiatron, or people would mis- understand. " “\\'.e "" she asked sharply. “.Oh I mean that if such an ex-l prriment were undertaken. He hur- riedly got out a cigarette and lighted it. I “Then you've been thinking of, undertaking such an experiment?" "NO. honey. NO!" And he thought, ”Dammit!" . They walked on in silence at an' accelerated pace. “I thought you weren’t gotng to have any more to do with Lonnie?” “Why? When did I say that? I never did!“ . "You implied it!" “Oh. perhapp I was pee\ed. Ruti Lonnie's all right. get angry at. him." “Then you‘re going to take him in as a partner?" He hesitated. “I don’t know. He wants to come in now. I haven't decided." Her nerves ragged. Lilith burst out: "Well, ,when are you going to decide. Michael? You‘ve been de- ciding for weeks. and yet you haven't decided anything yet." Her shrill vwords sent a little shock of electricity through him. After all. what was he going to do? (To be continued.) The United States Army Article IV The Reserve Officers' Training Corps and. the Cltizens’ Military Training Camps are American in- stitutions. They are not a part of the Army of the United States. Those in attendance are under no military obligation of service as are ' members of the Regular Army. Na- tional Guard. and Organized Re- serves. Nevertheless. th y are most important from a defen e and citi- zenship standpoint. They are our future protectors. In a way the Reserve Officers' Training Corps serves the same purpose for the Organized Reserves that West Point does for the Reg- ular Army. Moreover. it also fur- nishes the Regular Army and Na. tional Guard with valuable leaders. The Citizens' Military Training Camps are the American substitute for universal training» The! are the natural product of our experience in the war. as this is the method used to train young men to become officers. The growth in military value of the Reserve Officers Training Corps is indicated by the fact that 153 of its graduates accepted commissions as 1d lieutenants in the Officers' Reserve Corps in 1920. In 1924. 8,117 accepted siml.ar commissions; while 746 graduates. too young to be commissioned, were given cerilf. lesion of ellgl ty. During the past two years. 141 graduates' of the four one-month sources given at the Citiuns' Military Training Camps accepted commissions as 2d lieutenants in the Officers' Reserve Corps. or were given certificates of eligibility. These. numbers will be exceeded this summer. Both the Re. serve.0ffioers' Training Corps and the Offline Military Training Camps also promise to make large contributions in tho future to ma . Boson Corps. "in 1h! plete all the courses required for an officer commission. The Reserve Officers' Training Corps Camps opened the middle of June. immediately following the close of the educational year, and will end the last of July. These camps are or the longest duration of all conducted by the Army dur- ing tho‘summer, being six weeks. The enrollment this summer will be over 8.000. These camps are attended by col- lege men. Attendanqp at one of these camps is required at the end of the third or junior college year. and attendance , at the end of the first or ‘ freshman year is optional. The War Department is unable to accommodate all who ap- ply for the optional summer train- ing. it The total enrollment in the R. 0. T. C. is 125.504 with units in 226 educational institutions. Regular Army officers are detailed as in- structors. This enrollment is divided according to institutions as follows: Universities and colleges. 76.743; military colleges. 5.507; military schools. 7.828; high schools. 34,205; other institutions, 1.221.

Iship standpoint. You just can‘ti states. Approximately no Reserve 0. T. l‘. and C. M. T. 1‘. must fur- nish the commissioned personnel for the Rcserics. L'pon the should- ers of these young men now gradu- ating in these institutions will fall the great responsibility of develop. ing the Organized Reserves to the point where our national defense will be secure. Around them must be built the citizen army of the next generation. We can only pass on our knowledge to them. Educators believe in the intellect- ual and charactenbuiiding qualities of the instruction given by the Army to H. O. T. C. units. Our LPtldlllg educators have spoken highly of its educational value. Our Te'llllll‘ institutions give scholastic L‘ll tilts to those who attend. We are constantly refusing applications from colleges for new units. due to lack of funds In my opinion there should be R. O. T. C. units in ev- ery college and high school. The training received means so much to so that those courses would be valuable to our country d‘vcn though war could be abolish- ed forever. instead of always being possibly just around the corner. The C. M. T. Camps have been successful from all standpoints. and have exceeded expectations. These camps were first held in 1921 with attendance of 10.681. The attend. ance this summer will be 35.000. Many applications have been turn- r-ri away each year. More than 100.- 000 young men would attend if funds permitted, Some such num- ber will have to he eventually reached if the C. M. T. Camps are to he a substitute for universal mil- itary training. for approximately 000,000 young American men ‘reach the age of 21 each year. These 40 camps as compared with 1'9 last year are of a month's dura- tion and are held during July and August. except on the Pacific Coast. where they open in June. The popularity of these camps can be traced to a large degree at the present time to the improve- ment in citizenship on the part of the young men who attend. This is brought about through the definite service to their country. the daily routine including respect to author- ity. a‘nd to the flag..the hourly les- sons in cooperation. and the cours- es in citizenship which are conduc- ted at the camps. That Congress is favorably dis- posed towards the C. M. T. Camps can be seen by the following state- ment made by Congressman An- thony on the floor of the House of Representatives last year: “I saw one of the civilian camps and I will say to the House that I am thoroughly convinced that the money we are spending under this head brings back nearer 100 per cent return than any other money in the bill. I saw nearly 2.000 raw boys, most of them coming from the hills of Arkansas. Missouri, and the plains of Kansas. who. when fitey arrived atcamp were typical green and fulfledged youngsters of about 18 years of age, but absolutely as unmilitary a lot of youngsters as I ever saw. But within a week or ten days time you never saw a finer ag- gregation of young American man. hood in your life. They walked about with heads erect. their shoul- ders thrown back and looked like real men, like real soldiers." Some of our greatest industrial. commercial. financial and public utility organizations in the United States are so enthusiastic about the splendid results obtained by the C. M. T. Camps that they have dem- onstrated their support of the move. ment by encouraging employees . tel attend. by granting accepted appll- L canto so deys‘ leave of absence, generally at full pay. Not only are these camps of great benefit to the young men of our natiolu they are also of decided benefit to the Army of the United - ereiviilbeueed at the camps ‘ manor ea Instructors.

She has been with the uni- versity since its founding in 1802. Miss Talbot was born in Thun. Switzerland. of Amencan parents in July. 1858. She took her A. B. de- gree at the Boston Ulvereity in 1880 and her A. M. in 1882; an S. B. was add d to her degrees at the Mas- sac usetts Institute of Technicology in 1888. and an LL. D. at Cornell College in 1904. From'isss-ill she was lecturer at the Laseil Seminary and from 1890 -'.l twas domestlcj science instructor at Wellesley. Since joining the staff of the Chicago University Miss Talbot has held the posts succes- sively of assistant professor of sani- tary science, associate professor of the same science. later associate professor and then professor of household administration since 1905. She is a member of the American- Home Econmics Association andi was one of the founders of the As- soeiation of Collegiate Alumnae. served as its president and was for 13 years its secretary. In collaboration with E. H. Rich- ards. Miss Talbot wrote “Home Sanitationfll in 1887. In 1900 she published "Education of Women." in 1912 "The Modern Household." with s. P. Brecklnrldge. and "House Sanitation" also in 1912. She hsepalso contributed a number of articles on educational subjects. As a result of her long experience as dean of women ‘ Miss Talbot maintains that college women should look to their health and dis- criminate among their college ac- tivities. for it is the many things outside of studies that tend to keep a student's marks lower than they should be. she asserts. Scout .’ The Old Copy Book. (Dearborn Independent.) There was once a time when men took pride in their handwriting. They also took pride in what they wrote and how they wrote it. The old-time copy books were models of neatness in their penmanshlp and of good common sense in the max- lms they set forth. These maxlms were based on the experience of ages and on the best ethical stand- ards. Having to be repeatedly writ- ten they were indelibly l pressed on the minds of the pupils. would be an advantage these days if some of those "old-fashioned precepts" were revived. One of those copy book maxlms was that “Evil communicatfns corrupt good manners." Evil com- munications are more prevalent to~ day than ever they were in the world‘s history. for the simple rea- son that the means of propagating them are more powerful. The in- vention of printing was a boon to humanity. but the presses had not been long in operation till they were altogether foreign to‘their or- iginal purpose. But it is not alone the printed word that is responsible for the large amount of "evil communica- tions" that is prevalent today. There is the misuse of the motion picture film and the theater. There are others which are not so easy to detect. There is that underground current which is so hard to check but Which is so destructive in its effects: that passing from mouth to mouth of the verbal garbage, which seems to be so much relished. Among young people this taste is particularly keen and a. great amount of harm can be traced to this course. It seems a great pity that cleannese of thought and speech are not more in favor with the present generation. levies. Duties at C. M. T. Camps are looked upon as the best training that the younger Reserve officers can be given. Regular officers are being skilled as never 'before in producing expertheae in volume rem raw material. Without question the C. M. 'T. C. project is the most popular insti- tution under the direction of the Army. 1 look forward to the time when public .opinion in the United States will be moulded by the young men who have attended these camps.
