He la there given an opportunity to prove that he Is made of the right sort of atutf by showing his willingness to do cheerfully any kind of task assigned fcim. He is immediately sent out on the streets with the corps and often to a tough neighborhood In the city where he may encounter a decidedly unfriendly element. Almost at the start he must make his prayer or plea to the night crowd on the street corner. If at the end of his period he has shown the proper spirit he is then sent to the army training college. The course here Is nine months. He pursues a course of Bible study, learns the customs and laws of the organisation, and attends lectures. If he does not possess the sticking qualities demanded of Salvation army officers, or shows that he Is not fitted for the work, he Is frankly told so, and Is advised to return to his home town where he may nevertheless work for the organixation. and take up for his life work some other line of endeavor for which he Is better fitted. At the outbreak of the yrnr the Salvation army pledged Itself to serve and stand by the nation. Almost every member was engaged In some kind of war work, and a large percentage of the organization was in France. 10 HAVE LARGER BUILDING $flleoe Gives Men and Women ttvin Teats far Social Welfare Work --Students Trained With Care and Patience. Haw York.--The Salvation army, now that the war Is over, Is planning and preparing for Its work of reconstruction. The active part that the army took In the war called many of its officers and men to France, many are still there and may be for some time, and since the army and Its work has been growing and expanding there is at present a real need for more officers. A few days ago the army graduated a class of fifty-four officers, thirty-three of whom were women. When the next class Is sent out It will be twice this number. This institution trains its students 1 with Infinite care and patience. It has its training college at 333 West Twenty-second street, which is in charge of Colonel Charles Miles, who has been a member of the army for thirty-eight yeftrs. In the near future the army will either purchase or erect a larger and more commodious college building at an expense, if necessary, Of between $400,000 and $500,000. Many College Graduates. Jklany officers today in the Salvation ^Wlny are college or university graduates, and others were Just graduated from the world's school of hard knocks. They are all. however, men and women of more than average Intelligence, and some have made really great sacrifices for the privilege of wearing the simple blue uniform of • the organization. Of the jiass just graduated one young man w* honors and a degree at Cornell university, and seventeen of them were In the country's service during the war, one of whom won the croix de guerre. Since the war many soldiers and sailors have expressed a desire to Join the organization. It is not an easy matter to become an officer In die Salvation army because the organisation is exceedingly particular about getting the right kind of men and women to guide its destinies, and, although many are called few are chosen, and a person before becoming an officer is put through a rather severe acid test. Some candidates are quickly disillusioned at the outset by the smallness of the pay, for lieutenants and captains receive but $9 and $12 a week, and must pay for their board and lodging out of this sum, and they also pledge themselves to remain with the army for life. They must devote all their energies to the organization, and are not permitted to labor outside of their work for remuneration. To become an officer in the organization a candidate must possess a certain degree of natural Intelligence, must love the Lord and his neighbor, and must possess the indefinable something knowil as the Salvation army spirit , , Must Prove Worth.

Paris;--With the certainty that aviation is quickly to become one of the big industries throughout the entire world, Paris has a iittle warning for all of her sister cities of America and every other country. The warning is this: Enact immediately, either state, municipal or national, legislation prohibiting the erection of airplane factories anywhere within hearing distance of where human beings have to live and sleep. Otherwise, said human beings won't be able to sleep and will be driven In no time at all either into their graves or some far-away sanitarium. Everyone knows how much rumpus an airplane makes when It is flying thousands of feet overhead. Well, every airplane motor before it la & . mounted has to be tested, and to be tested it is attached to a huge bench or platform and run continuously at top speed, with hundreds of horsepower back of It, for at least twentyfour hours "and sometimes forty-eiglr During that period of time nobod living within bearable distance ea possibly sleep. At Suresnes, where motors are tes ed for forty-eight hours. It has bee necessary to close an adjacent school. At Puteaux the Inhabitants declare they have not slept for months. At Courbevole the city council has resigned as a means of protest. At CUchy th^ city has bought a large tract of land for the erection of a municipal hospital. \Alrplane factories during the war installed themselves In the vicinity and the medical authorities now refuse to let the city build its hospital in such a death-injuring locality. The department of the Seine has been forced in the interest of public health to take measures to stop the nirplane factories and get them moved into more isolated localities.

Ford, a youth of 19 years, wilked out of Superior Judge Franklin Griffin's courtroom, grateful for a chance and vowing be would make good. Three charges of grand larceny were against his name. Judge Oriffin placed the lad on probation on one charge and carried the other two on the reserve calendar. Recently Captain Thomas J. Ford of the Canadian army walked into Jadge Qfiffln's courtroom. "I've made good," be told Griffin. *- simply, "and I came back just, to thank you for having given ipe the chance." Then he told his story: "After you permitted me to go I joined the Canadiau forces as a private. I went to France and into ac-: tlon. It was real action, too. My ' "regiment fought in some of the biggest engagements. I wanted to make good and to show you I could, and that carried me through some tight places. I rose Si i tlife Tsnfos Ktrnflrlsiug rii.vHeit at the way I forged ahead. I even won distinction for bravery tinder fire." "You have earned more praise than tills court can bestow on you." (said Griffin. "Besides doing our couatry an honor you are one of the many men that have convinced me that the probation law Is successful." Then Griffin directed that the two remaining charges against Ford be erased from the calendar. Ford was arrested three years ago h | Enter Stornaeh Pump, • ' "Dry Time Necessity" Pittsburgh, Pa.--Among other things that will likely prove popular now don't forget the stomach pump. John Carlisle, as many -flora will be doing soon, attempted to devise a little cocktail of his own.

SOUTHWESrS HARVEST ENDS "Sanest" in History Is Boast--Army of 125,000 Men Employed--- Business Men Help. Kansas City, Mo.--The south west's harvest, characterized as the "sanest" in history, is over. Higher wages were paid then^ever before, and there was practically no radical agitation. An army numbering at times 125.000 men, advanced with the harvest from southern Oklahoma through Kansas and into Nebraska, earning an average of 00 cents an hour. Federal officials say about 100 alleged agitators were arrested on vagrancy charges, but so far there has not been a single complaint of sabotage. College students and returned soldiers predominated among the harvesters. The response was so large that it was unnecessary for side-line harvesters--boy scouts and high school students--to go into the fields, although many business men in small Kiinstis towns joined "twilight" barvest gangs. Jersey Man Has Bed, White, Blue Goldfish Jersey City, N. J.--Introducing "Miss Liberty," a new red. white and blue goldfish. Frank Hedden. a member of the Hudson County Aquarium society, crossed a Chinese Moor-black goldfish with a fish that had a redsen led Japanese and a brown transparent-scaled Japanese for parents.

The dirigible finally was forced tp descend and the crew was rescued by the Swedish ship Skagern. The B-12, with Ensign W. B. Griffin as commanding officer. Ensign W. C. Briscoe as assistant pilot and machinist's Mate E. A. Upton as mechanic, was ordered to Leave Chatham, Mass., early July 19 on a patroling expedition. German submarines were then operating off the Atlantic coast and the dirigible was well loaded with bombs. Scanty food supplies were carried, ns Ensign Griffin expected to return to Chatham that night. The raili > equipment had only been partly installed. Rudder Brace Lost. The B-12 patroled to the north and sighted a transport about 3:30 p. m. Ensign Griffin headed toward the vessel, intending to escort It toward port, when the heel brace on the rudder was carried away, making it impossible to steer the craft A sea anchor was rigged up and an effort made to retard the dirigible's progress. After a few moments, however. the towing cable parted and the northward progress was resumed at an increased speed. About 8:30 o'clock that night a ship was sighted and nine rockets we«*« fired from a pistol. The vessel apparent ly saw the signals and directed its course toward the B-12 only to turn away in a few moments and leave the helpless gas bag to the mercy of the wind.

WOMAN'S WILL IS UNIQUE Bara Husbands, Wives and Widows From Interest or Benefit fn Property. illtddletown, N. Y.--There are some unusual provisions in the will of Mrs. Helen S. Cutting, wife of Kobprt Fultoh Cutting of Tuxedo Park, which has been admitted to probate at Goshen. - ... - The will disposes of an estnte estimated at $100,000 in personal and $100,000 in real estate. While the sons of the deceased are ro have their shares In the estate paid to tliem at a certain time, the daughters are only given the Income from their shares during their lives. The closing paragraph of the will reads: "It is my will and I direct that no Interest or benefit whatsoever shall pass hereinunder to auy husband, wife or widow of auy child of mine." Rockets Were Find. before the leak was discovered all of the oil was lost, causing a considerable decrease of ballast. The B-12 began to rise and ascended steadily until an altitude of 3,000 feet was reached. Wild Dash Northward. All night the dirigible continued Its wild dash northward, the cl-ew meantime consuming the small amount of food aboard. Ensign Griffin had no Idea of bis whereabouts. On the morning of the third day of the Involuntary cruise the sun shine, -brightly and a# Abe gs-fi ki - the ~hsg expanded rapidly the B-12 started to rise. Ensign Griffin, after a conference with the other members of the crew, decided to bring the B-12 to the surface and take a chance of being picked up. Shortly after descending a ship was sighted and it directed its course toward the dirigible, the crew of which meanwhile were having great difficulty In keeping clear of the water. The vessel proved to be the Swedish steamer Skagern, bound for Halifax. A small boat was put over the side and the crew of the B-12 taken off. Then, as the increasing heat from the sun caused the gas further t<> expand, the dirigible rose a few feet nbove the surface, was pulled over to the Skagern. the rip coril pulled, and th<* B-12 salvaged without much dam- Age. more than 300 miles from its home station.
