APE ne x: WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1918 RHY OFFICERS AS SCOUTMASTERS eat Opportunity for Returning 'Soldiers to Act as Leaders of the Hundreds of Thousands of Boy Scouts "Don't take off your khaki, just hange the buttons," is a slogan that will appeal-to returned and retired flicers of the United States Army. Major General C. M. Clement, of Sunbury, Pennsylvania, is at the pres- 'ent time the first army officer to ac- opt this new Scout slogan for him- elf. = General Clement Accepts General Clement has recently re- urned from active service on the estern battle front, where he was nt to study conditions of trench arfare. When he had submitted a eport to the War department, which as sent to General Pershing, Major neral Clement received a personal etter from Pershing congratulating "him on his splendid review of condi- tions at the front. ; During the trouble on the southern "border two years ago, General Clem- ent, as Major General, was in com- - "mand of the Pennsylvania Division, "known as the gota Division, while in service at the border. He was in nen ro the BR yr bof Sun- bu Y, and a prominent attorney at the bar in Pennsylvania. He will become Scoutmaster of a troop of Scouts at St. Matthew's Episcopal church of Sunbury, where for thirty- 'one years he has been superintendent of the Sunday school. The acceptance of a position as Scoutmaster by General Clement has "made it difficult for other men to 'refuse a like call on the ground of » multiplicity of duties, as General Clement in addition to an extensive law practice has been chairman of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign for his district and has been identi- fied with every war-work activity since his return from the front. There are at present over 442,000 Boy Scouts with their leaders. Ap- plications are coming in to national ters at the rate of about d a day. The govern- s the Scouts to grow, and > several million of d boys in khaki if there to head the troops. Re- men can find in this a rtunity, The Scout uni- act, is much like the army rm and is authorized under Sec- 25 of the Army Reorganization " "HOW TO OBTAIN A XMAS LABEL FOR SOLDIERS If you have not received the Christ- mas label from your boy in France you may apply for a special label at 'the Red Cross headquarters, The Jabel may be secured after you have filled out a blank stating that no ~ Christmas box has been sent as yet ~ to the particular boy you are apply- ing for. Many labels are expected to come in the foreign mail this week, so that the Red Cross desires that no labels be applied for until ~ Friday morning. ~ Only one box may be sent to each ~ boy. . France after applying for a special one, return one of them to the Red Cross or else destroy it. Three hundred and sixty-five ' Christmas boxes have heen sent to © the Evanston boys in France from © the Red Cross headquarters. It is expected that many more will be sent within this week when. the special labels are issued. Boxes may be sent until November 30. THEIR OWN MEDICINE What should be the ternrstef péate with Germany? Scrap books and newspaper files supply abundant "evidence of the terms Germany would impose upon the Allies if she had won. Note these: - "Our statesmen must in the peace negotiations be men of iron and not | resemble soft wood painted iron gray. The German people mean not only to hold out but to conquer."-- Count Von Reventlow. "Peace must assure permanently the military, economic, financial, and political interests of Germany in sions of territory."--Dr. Spahn, lead- er of Reichstag Center. "The security of the empire in a future war requires the ownership of 'them the foriresses Verdun."--Manifesto to the Chancel- lor, "It is necessary to impose a merci- asly high war indemnity on France, dnd not forget her large colonial possesgions."--Petition of German intellecdials to the Government. That was Germany's own pet gos- ' pel of international peace and good will when she thought she was win- ning. Sr If you receive a label from| their widest range, including exten- | W. S. S. SALES FOR ONE DAY AMOUNT TO $10,000 TOTAL That the men in service at the Great Lakes naval training station are setting an example for civilians in the matter of purchasing Thrift and War Savings Stamps, is attested by the following article which re- cently appeared in an issue of the Great Lakes Bulletin, the daily pub- lication at the naval station. "The little "flivver" truck belonging to the Post Office department couldn't make fast enough trips to Waukegan yesterday to keep the Station supplied with War Savings Stamps. "The men, who were just being paid, bought stamps right and left. They kept the men detailed by the Post Office department busy running back to the main post office after more stamps, and the main post of- fice didn't have enough stamps to supply their own salesmen. Chief Yeoman who is in charge of the drive, stated yesterday that up to'3 o'clock in the afternoon $10,000 worth of stamps probably had been sold. And that in one day. : "Companies were lined when there weren't enough stamps to supply them all, pledges were taken. Salesmen who followed the paymaster all day ran out of stamps before half the men in each regiment Jad been paid. ' The Fifteenth Reg- up and 'iment, it is believed, is leading the {entire Station, . per was buying, and buying! capita. Every regiment fast. a Sah | 'it was early in the morning that the first call for more stamps came to the main post office. Then more were sent for in Waukegan, and be- fore the truck had returned to the Station these had all been sold, and the men 'were waiting for their stamps. This continued all day. There are still some men in the station, however, who have not yet bought stamps, and it is expected that these will soon purchase them. They will be on sale in all regimental post of- fices. The drive will continue." A Cool Weather Suggestion I had the grandest 'sprise today, I'm just the happiest boy in town, Thats why the "kids" maybe "ll say-- I'm grinning like a clown. You know that swell Grandma of mine, Who's always trying something new, Well she's got something really fine! Just wait--I'll tell it to you too. In looking through the news last night She spied a recipe called "Gem", Which sounded short and sweet al- right, And might my inward craving stem. The best part of it all you know Was that it didn't call for wheat, But was made all of barley dough Without a trace of any sweet. So when I came from school today I had some neat little surprise; For "Gems" were steaming golden brown, To meet my nearly famished eyes. And with them, could you beat it boy? She'd sent some marmalade to try, Thats why I'm filled with so much Joy, : g Did you ask, "was it good", Oh, my! So if you're ever short on fruit, Don't start on your preserves too soon, Just try my Gran'ma's marmalade Made from the much despiced old "prune". --Edna Lanferman. FIRST COURT MARTIAL HELD ON N. U.

He sold two new Franklin cars. In all, his sales for the last week totaled thirteen cars. He now has a new Franklin sedan on the floor of his show-room in Orrington avenue, Evanston. He predicts that the sup- ply of new cars for the coming year will probably not meet more than one-third of the demand. "The man who gets a car now should consider himself lucky," said Bridges. "Later he will have to wait for weeks for delivery" Because of this scarcity, used cars are especially good investments, in the opinion of Bridges. When the full scope of the car shortage is realized by the public, he believes, the value and the price of used cars will go up twenty to thirty per cent above Benjamin Gage, Wilmette, Franklin chasers of cars from Bridges: William A.

New England Needs Less Coal New England's conservation cam- paign has been conducted upon such an intensive scale that fuel author- ities in that section have asked for a reduction in their bituminous al- lotment for the coal year. Thirty million tons originally were asked for. Now the State administrators have requested that their allotment be reduced to 27,300,000 tons. Of this amount 17,210,000 tons have been de- |. livered. Fuel Control Continues In order that no confusion or mis- understanding resulting from the signing of the armistice might ensue, U. S. Fuel Administrator Harry A. Garfield gave notice last week that the rules and regulations and the supervision of the Fuel Administra- tion now in force would continue un- til the promulgation of the treaty 'of peace.
