Camp Shelby Prepares For The Holidays

Hattiesburg, Miss., Dec. 17. — The order of Major General W. H. Sage, commanding general at Camp Shelby, prohibiting leaves of absence and fourloughs during the holidays, has caused disappointment among the Indiana troops, as many of the officers and men had expected to go home. It was because of the great demand for leaves of absence and furloughs the General Sage issued his order, as regretable at it was to, him presonally. He was astounded at the great number of requests made and felt that so many leaving here at one time would demoralize the camp. The Indiana soldiers are going ahead with their preparations for the Christmas week just the same. They are cutting holly and cypress and pine for decorations, and building shacks for their guests who can visit them on holidays during the day. Every Indiana unit will have some special entertainment on Christmas and New Year’s. Christmas dinner will be served at the mess shacks and at the mess.

ROMEH VBLUNTEER TO HELP WIN WAR

■■’•‘t'y 2 ! ythe Tells W’y It Is Necessary for All io Si.’,j*s,br. V’C’.M CAN HELP Council of il'vf -'ise Seeks to Create Ci For Use of Aar Agencies.,, And now let's see why the government is mobili .ing the lyomen of America —why it is asking every woman in Indiana

It is of such vast importance that the government desires to obtain, as speedily as possible, a correct estimate of the woman power, c and to do so it is putting to work the machinery of Ihe Council of National Defense, and of your own Indiana State Council oi Defense appointed by Governor Janies P. Goodrich, with headquarters in the State House at Indianapolis. If you do not register, whether you can serve or not. you are not doing your bit to help yin the war—you are a «ia'']<,er _ , ........ __ A channel was needed to carry to the women the requests of the government. The plan aimed to do one particular thing—to take in every woman. Women’s organizations in each state were asked to get together and form a permanent executive committee. The central state group should be duplicated in every county and every town, to pass on the word to the un organized groups, so thfß all the clubs, associations, cifiirches, social ageiieiesr teachers and individuals should be drawn in. In this State the Woman’s Committee was made a’ section of the State Council of Defense, by Chairman Will H. Hays, and was put under the chairmanship of Mrs. Anne Studebaker, of South Bend. „ Quarters are maintained in the Slate ‘Defense Council rooms, and a secretarial' force is constantly busy. Dy way of this executive committee the groups ail over the state are to be kept in immediate touch with the national committee, and will receive from it direct such requests as the government may make. The channel has been created, but , it must be dug deeper and broader — ari 'he absence of your name .will render it less effective. It is the clearing bouse through which all woman's work will pass. And it is the agency by which the government is co-ordinating the nation’s woman power. ' The Woman's Committee will not be satisfied until it lias in this state an organization so perfect that any piece of information or request from Washington can be spread over Indiana in twenty-four hours’ time and reach practically every Indiana. woman. Already there is a woman’s com mittee In every county of the state and these committees will appoint a local chairman for each community. The important point is that every woman shall register. Preparatioris now are going forward for a statewide registration drive to begin January 1. that will enlist the help of every social, and woman's club. If necessary a to house canvass will be made. . , If you are a' housekeeper the mother of little children—do not think that you are exempt from registration —for the government wants to know who you are, what you are and whether, in case of need, you can give any service to help win the war. The Woman's Committee is the agency appointed to gather this information for the government. 4 * It is expected that 100,000 signed registration cards will be ln the hands of the State Council of Defense ,by the middle of January. . Up to date 40,000 Indiana -vi Olen have registered. Woman 8 no longer purely of the ha.it s and heart—she Is being fitted into every part of the war program. Indeed; it is recognized that without her aid, it' is impossible to win the war. She has been called into council by .Washington, has been ‘recognized’/’ and her brains requisitioned for war work. In fine, women have been given a definite part, although a wholly voluntary pact, in all the great economic and social read justments —in all the big war ques tions. If you have not signed, your regis Hon card, hurry and sign—so- you will be readily accessible when the in-formation from Washington begins to'flow through the channel, and you are asked to help in the way you want to help.

to register with the Woman’s Section of the Siate Council of Defense. Perhaps you have been asking yourself that very question of what practical use the mere signing of your name to a registration card? Here’s your answer:

OFFICERS ALL DRESSED UP

Men Who Will Lead Undo Sam's Fighting Force* Also Have Some Place to Go. When the American army takes the field the officers, at-least, are going to be the sportiest, niftiest set of men that ever trod the path of glory. Since they are risking all, they are going to have the satisfaction of stepping out in the trimmest style. Vanity Is to have its sway, and no one can criticize. When a man offers up his life, who can deny him his fling at fashion? j Furnishing goods dealers who are | supplying officers tell stories of great I business, says the Kansas City Star. The officers are all dresesd up. In addition to having some place to go. For ooe thing, they are going In for swagger sticks. A swagger stick is something lees than a cane, minus the crooked handle. It Is a trim little article of adornment, but few men dare carry one, except in uniform. The army vindicates the wrist watch. Because they are handy and practicable, the soldier may wear a dainty timepiece, with an illuminated dial, strapped to his wrist. In civilian life—but that Is something else again. Metal mirrors that cannot be broken are being carried. Pigskin puttees costing as high as $12.50 a pair find ready sale. Tailor-made uniforms cost more than S4O. The best Is none too good for the officers and student officers. Expensive hats and shoes that conform to the army regulations are in big demand. The English spiral puttees are permitted and. have a big run. Many of the men are buying camel’s hair blankets at $25 apiece for the. field. Officers* trunks that sell at S2O apiece and carry-alls of duck that go at $l&50 are sold rapidly. An Eastern manufacturer says that the largest order for swagger sticks came from Kansas City. Maybe. A lot of them are sold —some of them with gold tips. There is no skimping on apparel.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

“Ma, what’s the difference between mortician and an undertaker?” “They both do the same kind of work, son, but I am inclined to think a mortician will charge more.”

Humor in French AIsace.

The will and the conscience of Alsace have never ceased to be French. Her national character Is completely differentiated from the German. The German obeys automatically. The Alsatian is fundamentally independent. The German has never possessed a sense of humor. Alsatian humor, recalling Gallic wit, is celebrated. Alsatian stories witness to this, as well as the caricaturists Hansi and Zislin. Ask, for example, of an Alsatian why he has preserved a German accent, even in speaking French. He will reply: “Our invaders have taken everything from ns, the accent is the only thing they have left us.” Or again: “What is the difference between an accident and a calamity?” “If a Prussian soldier falls into the Rhine, it is an accident,” explains the Alsatian, •hut if he escapes, it is a calamity!”— Bookman.

England’s Long Evenings.

An interesting record of both “summer time” and war time is presented tn the “lighting notices” now appearing every day in the British press. Gue about the longest day was specially striking. It ran: “Lamp time for cyclists today, 10:10 p. m. Lights down, 11:10 p. m.” The long summer evening, for which England, is famous, is certainly longer than ever, ■nd does much to shorten the wartime darkness Imposed two houj-s after sundown.—Christian Science Monitor,

Plans for Community Christmas Tree.

War has made necessary many changes in every department of life go we are not surprised that our Xmas celebration will be changed to suit changing conditions. We are realizing as never before, the importance of working together and this spirit has prompted the various civic and religious organizations to work together in the preparation of a community Christmas tree with the attendant exercises. The municipal tree that would have been placed on the lawn of the public square was found to be unadvisable at this time because of the greater expense. So to conserve the fuel in the churches the tree will be placed in the auditorium of the high school building and the exercises will be held on Christmas eve. Every member of the community is expected to feel a personal interest in the affair ana lend a hand to make it a splendid success. , The following committee has been appointed to secure the tree. The chairman requests everyone whose name appears in the following list to meet this Wednesday evening at 7:30 o’clock at the First National Mrs. W. H. Parkinson, Mrs. Elza Grow, Mr. J. N. Leatherman, Mr. John Bruner, Mr. Rex Warner, Miss Ethel Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Prior, Frank • Kresler, Marion I. Adams, D. M. Worland, I. N. Yates, Ralph O’Riley, Vern Crisler, Richard Benjamin, Miss Mattie Hemphill, H. F Parker. The decorating (committee are requested to meet at the High School auditorium Saturday at 2 o’clock p. m., and are to bring with them any decorations they may be able to secure. Persons living .near any member of tne committee are invited to make any contributions that they may have that could be used for this purpose, labeling them if they wish to have them returned. Mrs. J. J. Hunt is thq chairman of this committee which is composed of the following other members: Mr. and ’Mrs. J. D. Allman, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Fendig, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kressler, Mr. and Mrs. B.

Warner are the other members of this committee. Miss Ann Leonard is the choral leader. ... , The electrical decorations will be managed by C. C. Chamberlin, Chas. Rhodes and J. J. Montgomery. Mrs. John L Gwin has the .publicity work in charge and any ideas that should be generally known should be reported to her. It is expected that each day one or more items of general interest concerning the affair can be published.
