Bl' !• i I udi th I of BLUE LAKE RANCH ty Jackson Gregory COPYRIGHT BY CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS O IAHAT did you say about the new woman ill being a type? Well, hardly! She may be short-haired, because a majority of women are that today, but she is far from being, in generality, the strong-jawed, hardvisaged, masculine appearing figure which the cartoonists represent her to be. She is as numerous and as interesting in her variety as woman has ever been. Get acquainted with Judith, the charming little boss of Blue Lake Ranch. You will meet a new woman, a really brand-new sort, one —in this respect not unusual —who would rather be a woman than a man, but, called upon to do a man’s part, does it thoroughly. Circumstances called her into a unique line of endeavor. She carried it through in a man’s way, the only way it could be done, but she made it more effective by some fascinatingly feminine touches.

0. M, 1.0. QUOTA NOT FILLED YET Indiana Expected To Fill Its Quota Os 1,396 Before June 1 Columbus, Ohio, April 19. While enrollment for the Citizens' Military Training Camps in Indiana has not made the rapid strides that it did last year. Lieut. Col. Francis W. Glover, Fort Wayne, Fifth Corps Area C. M. T. C, officer, expressed his confidence today that ndiana will reach its quota of 1.39 G applications before June 1, the scheduled time for closing the campaign. Statistics compiled at corps area headquarters April 9, show that Indiana had obtained a total of 364 applications, or slightly over 26 per cent of its quota. At the same time last year Indiana was credited with a total of 577 applications, or more than 42 perectn of its quota. Col. Glover points out, however, that these figures need cause no alarm because of the fact that the other three states of the corps area, Ohio, Kentuezky and West Virginia, as well as the other eight corps areas of the country, are behind in the number of applications received this year. A consolidated enrollment report of all corps areas sisued by the War Department, March 20, shows that only 8,779 applications have been received as compared with 11.276 at the same time In 1925. No particular reason for the slowness of applications this year is given by the Colonel except the lingering cold weather. Young men, he believes, will respond in increasing numbers to the call of the training camps with the coming of summer and its accompanying urge for sports

The Colonel also observes that applicants tills year are more Inclined to "stick In previous years when ap plications canto In with greater rapidity the difficulty bus been the number of declinations that followed. A buy would make application for the camp without first completiug his plans for the summer with the result that he would later find that he either had to work or attend school during th»- training period. Thus far this year only two declinations have been received In the Fifth Corps Area, the Colonel said, us compared with 50 of the same time in 1925. As tl consequence, Co). Glover
