THESE DRAFT DAYS. Save your newspapers of these days, from July 20 on. .They are historic. It is more than a half century since the last draft, and it may be generations before another comes. In any event, the copies of The Times and other newspapers you take warrant preservation. Perhaps a year from now you may be glad you did this. You may note the name of one no longer here one -who has given up his life for his country. The list may be a solace to the mother, the sister, the sweet
heart or the wife of some young man dead in battle; the papers will recall!
these momentous days. Some of the papers saved will be tear-stained ere a twelve-month.
WE don't know who the German spies in this neighborhood are BUT there's a bigr windbag In Chicago who needs Investigating-. THERE Is a scheme proposed Xow to eliminate pockets from men's clothing GOD speed the day XO use for them any more. Just as soon as a man gets his pay envelope, he has to HAND It over before it gets a chance to see the inside OF his pocket. NO woman will keep on darning socks for a man unless she really loves him
AND it's does.

HOBOKEN' Germans declare they will hang together IS there any objection? VERT well the noes have It. WE recall the good old days when IT used to be THAT when A GIRL'S shoestring came untied IT was the proper thing FOR her escort to tie it up again BUT now , i WITH shoetops where they are OH. well. NOW if old Doc Michsella will kindly SEND us a few cheering words " ABOUT our ten million men draft.
"SOMETHING WROXG WITH OFFICIAL AUTHORITY IX GARY." An official says the proposition to enforce the law against gambling by citizens is a joke because he sits up nights with politicians and men of prominence in the city and gambles himself. Isn't it time that that official was superseded in office? Gary Post. It is impossible for the Gary Post office to get over being sore because its gambling game was stopped-, The proposition to enforce the law against gambling does not seem to have been a joke as far as the gaming den that existed in the Gary, post office is concerned. If Mayor Johnson had not caused his police to suppress the supposedly privileged gambling game, where j-oung sons of business men and employes of the paper were afforded fine opportunities to be separated from their money, the Post might not now be insisting "Isn't it time that that official was superseded in office?" Since the date of thav earty Sunday morning raid, arrests and confiscation of the gambling "pot" in the Post editorial rooms, an occurrence that opened the eyes of the -Gary pastors Union, there haa been "something wrong with official authority In Gary." That is the whine put up at every gambling house in Gary, where the gnme was closed by the mayor. The difference between the Post and the rest of the suppressed gambling syndicates is that It is in a position to howl.
MAX'S CLOTHES ADOPTED BY WOMEX. Radical innovations in clothing fashionB for women are resulting from the war- In the foreign munition plants the women put on overalls like the men. The custom spreads in this country, and some manufacturers say the
better freedom of motion adds fifty per cent to the productive capacity.
To the older women, such changes as these seem revolutionary and subversive of womanly modesty and reserve- The men of . the corner loafer type will snicker when they see a woman dressed for her work in a way to make her physical form more apparent. But morbid types of the male persuasion caja't be conpidered much. The women of the future will dress according to suitability to work. Formerly there was a certain shame when women admitted to the world that like men they were bipeds, possessed of two legs. The German husband in a recent novel condemns his wife because she showed nearly the whole of both her boots. It is easily rememoered when women wore long skirted bathing suits, in which bathing was Impossible. This feeling ia passing both in irork and play, and the damning fact of legs Is admitted without scruple. Probably the reason why women have clung to skirtB so long Is artistic rather than moral. No costumer could make trousers beautiful. The bloomer type used In gymnasium clothes ia less awkward but still abrupt. Skirts have flowing lines and worsen will always be likely to use them for dress parade, says the Lafayette Journal. The' modern woman is up against the working world and many hard conditions of life, and ehe is likely to feel that she has handicaps enough without submitting to those of dress. She is ambitious to enter the fields once considered exclusively for men, and if she is to do this she must dress to compete with men and get rid of artificial restrictions. It will create some stares for a little while, then all will be forgotten.
"LIKE A PAGEAXT ALL STAXDIXG STILL. " The Russian revolution having been set under way, there is curiosity in the brain of letters whether this milestone of history will have a3 able an historian as did the French cataclysm In the person of Carlyle or any of the numerous other writers who wrote about the other actors in that great drama of fomenting humanity. Already many have pointed out similarities between the fall of the French monarchy and the uprising that relegated the Romanoffs from power, and in both cases it seemg that neither the Czar and Empress nc?r
the French king and queen realized that they were living on a volcano. One of the finest passages in the English languages is the contemporary epitome of the French monarchy set down in his "Life of Danton: So perished the French monarchy. Its dim origins stretched out and lost themselves in Rome: it had already learned to speak and recognizc-4 its own nature when the vaults of the Thermae echoed heavily to the slow footsteps of the Merovingian kings. Look up that vast valley of dead men crowned, and you may see the gigantic figure of Charlemagne, his brows level and his long white beard tangled like an undergrowth, having in his left hand the globe and in" his right the hilt of an unconquerable sword. There also the short, strong horsemen of the Robertian house, half hidden by theii leather shields.
and their sons before them growing in vestment and majesty, and , taking on the pomp of the Middle Ages: Louis VII., all covered with iron: Philip the Conqueror: Louis IX., who alone Is surrounded with light; they stand in a widening interminable procession, this great crowd of kings: they loose their armour, they take their ermine on. they are accompanied by their captains and their marshals; at last, in their attitude and in their magnificence they sum up in themselves the pride and the achievement of the French nation. But time has dissipated
what it could not tarnish, and thu process of a thousand . years has turned these mighty figures into unsubstantial things. Tou. may see them in, the grey end of darkness. Mke a pageant alt standing still. Tou look again, hut with the growing light and with the wind that rises before morning they have disappeared." Who will give up such a brilliant and picturesque picture of the passing of the Romanoffs? But just now the world is too disturbed, events follow in too rapid succession for any. literary mind to untangle the skein of happenings and their Import. In quieter times when there will be more opportunity for reflection will come passages in literature quite worthy of the sublime occurences they deal with.

LETTERS FROM LAKE COUNTY SOLDIER BOYS I 1ST DIFFERENT MRU f
Need
A POORJATRIOT. Hegewlsch. July 23. 1917. Editor Times: The owner and manager of the "Hegewlsch Theatre," 13316 Baltimore avenue, did not overlook the chance to pick up a few dollars on the human lottery numbers. He obtained the sheets with the draft numbers from South Chicago, a distance of five miles away and refused to give them out unless a ticket was bought, first. His unpatriotic feeling is shown by the following incident which actually occurred. One of the citizens within the age limit inquired about his draft number. He turned around viciously, and in a sneering tone replied: "Nothing doing on that free stuff; nothing doing, you American boys are always trying to pull that stuff." Any man who is small and unpatriotic enough to do this sort of thing is. to my estimation, not worthy of the patronage of the patriotic American citizen of Hegewisch. ' JOHN ENG STRAND. WILLIAM D. OLSEN.
ty. that 17,000 peqple assembled on this green, on the 4th of July. 1788. to celebrate the establishment of the Constitution of the United States, and that they separated at an early hour, without intoxication, or a single quarrel. They drank nothing but Beer anl Cyder. Learn, reader, to prize thos? invaluable federal liquors, and to consider them as the companions of those virtues that can alone render out country free and respectable. Learn likewise to despise Spirituous Xdq.uors, as antifederal.
BOX VOYAGE, CHOCTAW!
Besides making steel plates for ships, this region is turning out ocean
going craft. The latest, the Choctaw, for American registry, is of 3,500
tonnage, 261 feet over all, 43.6 beam and 21-foot depth, was launched Satur
day at the Calumet river shipyards. She will soon be on the Atlantic taking
her chances with the submarines.

her maiden tripGood luck, Choctaw and Daneborg!
GIRLS' DRESS.
By Anabel-Worthington.
Nowadays it is a difficult thing to dis
tinguish between the styles for youngsters and those for grownups, for simplicity is the keynote for both. In the attractive little dress No. 8372. the panel front, which gradually widens to form, the very Dew pockets, has good lines for the growhas girl. If the dress is made o that it can be opened all the way down the front it will be easier to launder. The back hangs straight from the shoulders, and a sash of the trimming material comes from the front panel and ties loosely at the back. A good looking pointed collar finishes the neck. The matter of sleeves is left to the preference of the yonng wearer, as long and short ones are both offered. The dress pattern, Xo. 8372, cut In izes 8 to 14 years. The 8 year size requires 2 yards of 36 inch material, with yard 32 inch contrasting goods. To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to the office of this publication.

Aprop'os of the present tight In Congress to suppress the manufacture of whisky during the war. an issue of the Massachusetts Centeniel of July 30. 1788. contains an article discussing the merits of beer and whisky. A correspondent suggested that a monument should be erected in honor of American beer and cider. The article called attention to the fact that 17.000 people celebrated July 4. 178S. without intoxication or a single quarrel, because they drank nothing but beer and cider. Readers were advised to learn to despise spirituous liquors. A fac-smlle of the article follows: By Last Evening's Kails. PHILADELPHIA, July 29. A correspondent wishes that a monument could be erected in Union Green, with tho following Inscription: In Honour of AMERICAN BEER and CYDER.

LETTER FROM CAMP HOUSTON Headquarters Battery B. 19th Field Artillery. Camp Ft. ; Texas, July 16. Dear Ones: Talk about good air and sunshine we sure get plenty of both here. The camp is up on a long level ridge, about three and one-half miles from San Antonio.
I am on the headquarters staff of
Battery B and am sitting in our office writing this letter. From my desk I
look thru the screened wire sides of
the office and see the line of tents and cantonments (or long wooden shacks), that belong to -our battery. Between the office and the men's quarters above mentioned is a large level parade ground on which the line sergeants and corporals are drilling eighty-seven rookies or recruits. As far as I can see in any direction, there are scenes Just like that above mentioned. Several hundred feet from the rear of the office are the parking grounds for the cannon and ammunition wagons, which are lined up In long and perfectly straight rows, looking very grey and grim, a beautiful sight. Still further to the rear are the
stables for the horses belonging to our regiment. Along the street In front of
the stables, a constant stream of traffic
is pouring all day and until eigJU o'clock at night. This traffic conaists of motor trucks, great grey monsters all just alike, speeding along at about twenty miles per hour. At Intervals
there passes a troop of cavalry, their
horses prancing, their colors and flags
flying in the cool pleasant gulf breeze.
which blows, day and night.

are the officers' barracks. Infantry quarters, hospital, a large stone tower with a clock and a giant searchlight and countless tents and t hacks. Sitting here during the day or walking thru the camp I can hear the steady resound of hammers which drown all other noises of the camp except the clear concise notes of the bugles that are calling the men to action.
