Paul G. Armstrong7\state director of selective service, last) week issued to all local boards in Illinois specific, instructions concerning the selective service status of all registrants engaged in agriculture. The bulletin iw su~d by Col. Armstrong reads, in part, as follows: "Agriculture has been declared to be an 'essential activity.'

A few institutions have been making such examinations for 50 years. Taking the records as a whole, the evidence is strong that the present generation of college students is at least physically better than was its predecessor. Dr. Lawrence B. Chenoweith of Cincinnati has reviewed the literature, made more studies of his own, presented the conclusions in The Journal of the American Medical Association and made it clear that nurture counts for as much as nature in this improvement of the American type. As far back as 1921 Clelia Mosher noted that the height of Stanford university women students had increased one inch in 30 years. Ten years ago Horace Gray published his article on "Increase in Stature in the Last Fifty Years," in which he reached the conclusion that American boys of American-born parents were two inches taller than boys of the same type in 1877. ' Probably the best known of these studies is that m?ide by G. T. Bowles on "New Types of Old Americans at Harvard." He found that l,16tT fathers, measured between 1875 and 1910, had an average height of 68.6 inches. The sens were on the average 70 inches tail.

The Army and Navy both need binoculars for navigation and scouting purposes. Depending on the power of the lenses, they cost from $50 to $80 each. Restaurants and Color Psychologists have found that the no&e and color which accompany our meals play a more important role than we realize. As a result, restaurant owners are catering almost as much to nerves these days as to appetites. It has been proven that customers actually order more when surrounded by walls painted a warm color than those painted one of the cold shades. Cotton Offers Coat • '.v.- ' '• » rf "< f abric Surprises Dark Furs Combined With ». r Light Colors. ^ i ^ ! iy CHERIE NICHOLAS" % There should be at least two coats in every well-equipped wardrobe this fall and winter, a knockabout sports or casual coat and a smartly styled dress coat to wear over the one-piece frocks that are being played up as a change from the popular jacket-dress versions. Some of the very newest casual coats look quite like men's overcoats. These resolve into two types --a straight, broad-shouldered box silhouette and thjfe very stunning officer type that has deep, notched revers and double-breasted button fastening. Then there are the new reefers made of gorgeous huge patterned plaid woolens. These are simply stunning, and to see them is to covet them for your very own. Among the surprises in store are the handsome coats made of luxurious looking cotton-pile fabric or cotton fi&eces. College-bound girls will do well to look into this matter of coats fashioned of cottons that are the "last word" in coating fabrics. Take note of their bright quilted linings, for these add not only warmth but glamour galore. Fur revers of flat pelts give accent to pale fleeces this season. That is welcome news, for there is something tremendously effective about light coats accented with dark, sleek furs. One of the handsomest numbers in the new coat collections is a knee-length boxy model in Mexican j gold fleece with huge round buttons j of tortoise shell. The notched revers j are in dark brown Persian. Then again, a natural beige half-belted I overcoat takes on dark brown® Alas-1 kan seal for the notched revers. As to dress coats, a most impor- I tant thing to be said about them is that they are very slimming, mak- j ing the silhouette their major theme. The wrap-around self-tie types are leaders. These are fashioned of fine all wools or fabric blends that are taking the place of priority-controlled materials. The new full-skirted coats of Russian inspiration are lavished with fur, and they are styled dramatically in the cossack manner. Smart indeed are the new coats made of wide-wale corduroy. And all-fur coats are a story in themselves. by OR. JAMES W. BARTON Dr. Barton 'Off Duty' Dress If you have a set of 6 x 30 up to 7 x 50-power lense binoculars loan them to the Army or Navy. If not, your purchase of War Bonds and Stamps will help buy this equipment for our fighting forces.

TrMMury D*P»rtm*nt The fact that so many women nowadays are spending most of the active hours bf the day in a uniform has given rise to an increasing demand for pretty, feminine frocks to wear in "off duty" hours, when teas and furlough dances are in order. The dress shown above perfectly fills the need for something dainty but not "fussy." The blouse is of the new vest style cut in points in the front. The skirt is of rayon i«rsey. milt 60V> 5I*E» (WNU Service) WHAT A BI/MPIN6 , ^ , Wmgit/s Furred Slacks Sacks trimmed with fur matched to a fur topper is a novelty that has caught the attention of the younger set. A clever model of forest green wool trimmed in spotted lUT of leopard type is a favorite. Style Notes College girls demand "lots of bows." Black suede shoes are first in fashion for fall. Nylon fleece gloves are new in the fashion field. Side-wrapped coat dresses sound a new note for fall. Thrilling color sets the pace in sweater selling this season. Bright handbags and novelty jewelry animate fall costumes. Quilted pajamas, quilted jackets, quilted anything, is the latest fashion trend. > • Corduroy, velveteen, gabardine, faille and crepe tell much of the fabric story. Sleek furs like Alaska seal, beaver and nutria will be much in evidence this season. *1mni] by Western Newspaper UnioN. K CANCER OF THROAT A surgeon friend of mine showed me a patient, 65 years of age, who 'had consulted him because of a sore throat and persistent hoarseness. When examined it was found that he had cancer of the throat and, owing to its location, surgery was inadvisable. Accordingly, treatment by radium was given and as I looked into the throat I was amazed at the size of the "hole" left in the throat and the healthy condition of the tissues. The man looked and felt very well. Had this case gone on a while longer it would have been too late for treatment, yet his only complaint was a slight soreness and persistent hoarseness. It is because cancer of the throat often comes on with slight soreness only and hoarseness that it is overlooked by the patient and sometimes even by the physician. It is for this reason, therefore, that Dr. Chevalier Jacksoh and Dr. G. E. Pfahler, Philadelphia, keep reminding us that hoarseness that persists for more than two weeks should be investigated. "Cancer of the larynx is best prevented by avoiding irritation, excessive or faulty use of the voice, inhaling smoke, dust or fumes. From 70 to 80 per cent of such cancers can be cured il caught in the early stage when only a part of a vocal' cord is involved. Danger signals are hoarseness or pain ,: to the larynx." We may be inclined to become discouraged about cancer because of the general statement, "Until the cause of cancer is discovered there is not much that can be done about it." As a matter of fact, much is known about the cause of cancef In that "irritation," not a single irritation but continuous irritation can cause cancer tn any "surface" tissue of tha body in some individuals. -Remember, then, that "throat cancers are difficult to prevent and recognize. General warning is swelling or soreness around the^throat or tonsils that doesn't impSSve in two weeks." If, then, you or any member of your family has a sore throat and hoarseness that does not respond to ordinary home treatment you should consult your physician. * * • New Treatment Of Stomach Ulcer For many years the treatment of peptic ulcer--ulcer of the stomach and ulcer of the small intestine into which stomach empties--has been small meals taken often and an alkali powder to overcome the excess acid digestive juice in the stomach. This is known as t the Sippy treatment. It will come as a surprise to ulcer patients and1 to many physicians j also to learn that a series of 41 j cases has been successfully treated j by a different method. Drs. George j F. Dick and C. Wesley Eisele, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, state that the treating of stomach and duodenal ulcers (peptic ulcer) will progress satisfactorily without the attempted neutralization of acidity with alkalies. "Under hourly treatment with milk and cream without the use of alkalies* the speed of healing of peptic ulcers compares favorably with that under other methods of treatment. Such treatment brought about i&e fMornpt disappearance of symptoms and the complete comfort of the patient, (2) the disappearance of* blood from the stool when blood was present, and (3) the disappearance of the cavity of the •leer as shown by X-rays." These physicians state that while the present treatment of overcoming the excess acid stomach juice by the use of alkalies has been accepted as the "best" treatment nevertheless the fact that different alkalies are being used from time to time for peptic ulcer treatment shows that alkali treatment is not altogether satisfactory. "In their series of 41 cases, seven were suffering from stomach ulcer and 34 from duodenal or intestinal ulcer. X-ray studies were used to show the progress of the treatment. Seventy per cent of the 'cavities* of duodenal ulcers disappeared within 75 days. Complete relief of symptoms occurred in nearly all cases before the cavity was completely healed. In 31 cases all symptoms were controlled within one week." The treatment--milk and cream every hour without use of alkalies. • • • QUESTION BOX ;y-5 St. Mary's Catholic Cfcarch Masses: Sundays: 7:00; 8:30; 10:00; 11:80.
