2 mm RE ME Ey Mm WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1917 = Em Bm Em mm YOUNG MEN URGED TO SIGN FOR NEXT CAMP Change in Military Training Gives the Younger Men Better Chances to Receive Commissions. ENROLL BEFORE JULY 15 Two Days Left for Applications to Army School at Leon Springs. Latest advices from the War De- partment regarding the new Officers' Training camp, which is to be or- ganized on August 27, give special en- couragement to men 25 years or over who have had no previous military experience. The 40,000 men who are now com- pleting their training in the first Of- ficers' Training camp represent most of those in the country who have had * previous military experience and are not now in service. Previous mili- tary experience was one of the chief qualifications for this first camp and, consequently, eliminated a great number of promising young men who would have been glad of the oppor- tunity to train for an officer's berth in the new national army. These men -are now given their chance. The War Department, in an- nouncing its plans for the second camp, which opens August 27, em- phasizes the fact that previous mili- tary experience is not a requirement. Even those men who have had such an experience six or seven years ago will be given only a very slight prefer- ence. For it is pointed out that mili- tary methods since that time have un- dergone a radical change, that train- ing gained at that time is no longer of special value. So the handicap to the untrained man has been removed. It is pointed out, also, that the men 'Kenilworth, NORTH SHORE WOMEN URGED TO ENFORCE DIET North shore towns were asked to go on a war diet this week. Several thousand post cards were sent by the War Emergency Union to housewives in modest homes and mansions urging them to conserve food to help win the war. In every city and village house- wives are lining up behind the plan. Drastic suggestions were made. Among them were: Elimination of white flour four days a week, substituting graham, whole wheat or buckwheat flour or rice or barley. Utilization of all scraps of bread for puddings, stuffings, etc, and elimination of all wheat cereals. Use of meat, fish or eggs not more than two meals a day and the use of beef only one day a week. Use of meat of other kinds than beef, except chickens and ducks, not more than four days a week. Purchase of the cheapest cuts and use of all scraps. Use of fish or eggs three days a week--lake trout, white fish, cisco, tile fish, mackerel and other fresh water fish preferred because of sav- ing in transportation. ; No butter in cooking, and econ- omy in animal fats, substituting veg- etable oils. Use of potatoes only six meals a week, substituting rice or corn prod- ucts, and wider use of fresh and dried vegetables, except beans, which are needed by our troops and the allies. Heads of committees in the north shore suburbs are: Winnetka, John R. Montgomery, Mrs. Ruth Dins- more; Evanston, A. W. Underwood; Highland Park, Burridge D. Butler; Mrs. William V. K. Spicer; Glencoe, Allen Murrat. ILLINOIS MEN RUSH TO SIGN FOR SECOND CAMP Members of Examining Board for Texas School Are Announced. Requests for entry in the second officers' training camp are coming in steadily to the central department of the war department and indications are that the final count will show that there will be at least three times as many applicants as there will be posts to fill by Monday, July 16, the last day set by the authorities for receiving the applications.

The central department of the war department comprises fifteen states, and present reports show each state has been greatly "oversub- scribed," although there are still five more days for the filing of applica- tions.

Although self> Are you paying that by regu- | there has been considerable empha- sis laid on the needs for men of more mature age, the War Department does not wish to give the impression that the younger men are not welcome. In fact, quite the contrary is the case. For there are many very desirable commissions for which the younger and men more active, physically, can qualify more successfully than those of greater years, and this is being given full consideration. The time for application in the sec- ond Officers" Training camp closes on July 15. "It is urgent," says Mr. Lathrop Collins, 1239 Scott avenue, "that all men, and especially those between the ages of 25 and 44, apply at once. We must all 'do our bit' and here is a case of plain honest duty for a MAN." Es NORTH SHORE MEN ASK WILSON FOR DRY ZONE Territory Within 15 Miles of Sta- tions May Be Restricted. Territory within fifteen miles of Fort Sheridan and the Great Lakes Naval Training station will be "bone dry" if President Wilson acts favor- ably on the petition that has been sent to him by the Universal Mili- tary Training League of Chicago. Another petition directed to Secre- tary of War Baker asks for the re- moval of all disorderly houses in the vicinity of training camps of the country. The petitions are signed by H. H. Gross, president; Frank G. Logan, chairman of the executive commit- ,tee; John J. Mitchell, treasurer; John V. Farwell, W. P. Clow, O. T. Wilson, George W. Dixon and Albert N. East- man. Officials of the organization acted at the request of citizens of the north shore towns, who claim that an un- desirable element is coming in as a result of the training camps at Fort Sheridan and Great Lakes. Among the towns that will be affected by the "bone dry" order, if promul- gated, is Waukegan. NEW JERSEY DEALERS TO GIVE DRUNKS TAXI RIDE . A dispatch from Trenton, N.
