Plans are already under way to turn the occasion into a grand celebration of the strength of the country's man- power--which registration will de- monstrate. The State Council of Defense of Illinois has been called upon to help carry out that program. Wherever it is possible to do so, the proper persons will be asked to | have a band on the streets playing | patriotic airs, and to help in achiev- | ing that, all the military and naval | bands within the state have been | placed at the disposal of the hat | Council. To get one of these ,all that any community will have to do will be to pay transportation and subsist- ence-- no charge will be made for services. The Provost Marshal's office and the State registration officers will have a big job on registration day. and General Crowder is appealing to all officials and good citizens to bear a hand so that the task may be ac- complished in a manner creditable to the country. State Council of De- fense representatives in every com- comunity are especially called upon to be of active service in every way poss il yle. WANTED: STENOGRAPHERS Notwithstanding the fact that of stenographers and typewriters have been appointed in the Government service in Washing- ton, D. C., since our country entered the war, the United States Civil Service commission announces that there is pressing need for several housand more workers of this class. Women especially are urged to offer their services for this office work and thus help in a practical way in the iation's great undertaking. | ntrance salaries range from $1,000 $1200 a year. Most appointments "are made at $1,100. Higher salaried positions are usually filled through promotion, original appointments at salaries in excess of $1,200 being rare. Examinations are held every Tues- day, in 550 cities, and the Commission states that an examination will be held in any city, day or night, when there is prospect of assembling a class of as many as three competi- tors. Eligibility for appointment may be obtained through passing an examination in practical tests in shorthand and typewriting, or in typewriting alone. It is possible to complete such an examination in one hour. Representatives of the Civil service commission at the post office in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information to persons inter- ested. x The Room Registration office of the District of Columbia Council of Defense maintains a list of rooms in private homes in Washington which are available to newly appointed Government clerks. All rooms are carefully inspected before being list- ed. The Room Registration office states that the usual charge for rooming accommodations with board, that is, the two principal meals of the day, is $40 a month. To obtain this rate it is necessary for two per- sons to share a room. In addition, the Government is erecting residence halls. including restaurants, for the use of Federal employees in Wash- ington. It is expected that the first units will be ready for occupancy by December. The Room Registration office states that it is able to provide accommodations in the meantime. CHEERFUL YOUNG WOMEN WANTED BY THE RED CROSS American women with work-proof, rain-proof, and mud and misery-proof dispositions are wanted by the Amer- ican Red Cross for work in the hos- pital huts in France. They must be always cheerful, because it will be their duty to spread cheer among the soldiers who are convalescing from wounds or illness. Talent for enter- tainment, such as music and reading aloud. is a recommendation. Volunteers for this service will be expected to remain abroad at least a year. They will be provided with transportation to and from France and living expenses, where required, while they are in the service. Young women who think they are qualified should forward their ap- plications through local Red Cross chapters. Ta TAX CAPACITY OF HOSTESS HOUSES AT GREAT LAKES "The Y. M. C. A. Hostess houses at the Great Lakes naval training sta- tion are daily being taxed to their ut- most capacity," says Miss Frances Pearl Greenough, of Evanston, the executive hostess of all the hostess houses at the station. "You may have heard the com- ment," continues Miss Greenough, "that these houses are of no vital im- portance. Nothing more clearly and forcefully demonstrates the estab- lished fact that such buildings are greatly needed in a large training station like the one we have at Great Lakes. than the record-breaking crowds in attendance at them." Enlargements already being made upon the main station building and it is expected that a formal re- quest for another structure in the new outgoing detention camp will be forthcoming soon. According to a statement made by Captain W. A. Moffett at the opening of the Dewey Hostess house, six additional build- are 'ngs will be needed in the near future.

The | stage at Ravinia that has echoed to i the haunting strains of Madame But- iterfly and Lucia will resound to the | booming choruses of the war songs lof our fighting men and the rat-a- tat-tat of clog dancers who "just can't make their feet behave".
