year and no less than two hours at least twice a week. It is necessary nly for a group of ten or more people over 16 years of ape to request night school tnRtructir rf. in the English language and fundamentals of American government in order to receive such training. The state superintendent is now urging, the schools to make every effort to interest local residents and voters in this opportunity in their various communities. Many young foreign born residents have already sought instruction. There are too many others, however, who through indifference or ignorance, have never tried to replace their native tongue with the English language. The schools are there.

An important pha.se of ail Americanization work is the arousing of the interest and on thusiasm of the people for whom it is meant. "e do not

THE CIRCUS TRAIN WRECK. Whoever is to blame for the shocking wreck nar Gary, in which perhaps eighty-four persons were killed, there can he no doubt that the toll of death was greatly increased by the wooden car? In which the circus performers were carried. Had the cars been ordinary Pullman? or other types made of steel they would not have col:aped find thre would have been no fire, the Ir.d'.anc-noli? N"w thinks. The heavy engine and steel

Why this should be so the bulletin makes no attempt to explain. A barroom philosopher, however, is quoted as suggesting that it isn't necessarily because marriage drives men to drink. It's because when a married man drops into a saloon for a brace-, he doesn't drink it and depart in a matter-of-fact, business-like way, as a sinprle man does he lingers and keeps on drinking- because he s afraid to go home. The board upsets another ancient tradition regarding liquor consumption. It isn't the men who have leisure and plenty of cash in thir pockets who drink most, says the bulletin. Men who work long hours spend more time in saloons than men who have shorter hours, and as wages increase the expenditure for liquor declines

VHY THE SAV1NG3 PLEDGE?

During the present intensive War Saving? campaign we are asked by th President and by Secretary McAdoo n ;!d?e ourselves to save and with our savings to "buy a defmi'e times a specific amount of War Savings Stamps. Vh- snould we be called upon to do this and v. hy should we do it? We are called upon to do it because, as President Wilson says, this is a war of nations, not of armies, and r-veryon in the land must do his share. So far more than 2. -00.

JUST AS CAPABLE AT 45. Raising the conscription age limit to 45 years probably will meet less opposition than the project to lower it to IS years. Hoys of IS and 1.1 are not fully matured and military ou'horitles say that they do not make the

Thotr savings pledge gives the stay-at-homes an op-pr.-r'unity for service. We are asked to pledge ourselves to save and economize, to use labor and materials only as tcccr-sity demand?, and to invest our savings in War Savings Stamps. The Government asks us to do this because the amount, of labor and materials in the country Is limited; thfic is not noueh of either to permit us to use it in tr. o same free way a? we did in peace times ard at the same time to leave enough in the markets for the use of The Government. It is purely a question of supply r.::d demand. If we use the supply th Government does n "it havi it for war needs. And the smaller the amount G-ivernraent has tor use the longer will (he war last. Ti .it is the primary reason for the savings campaign. IVj" there is another side to the question. The goverr.ment asks us to pledge ourselves to save and help win the war. It does not ask us to give it anything ex-c-'pt rt;!- cooperation. In return for our help we reeene a Government security which pays us a good rafe of ln' rest. If we 0,0 as the Government asks, and as we should, tri. hrn, will be the result : (1 1 We shall buy only i';-o tb.;ns necessary to maintain us in the best of hr,::h and spirits; tji-bv refraining from buying tin-i-.t.fpsisi-i-tilings we shall leave in the markets for Government, use a et'f-a'er supply of labor and ma'erifl ?-!tr: which to win a quicker victory; ini by not fritter in? our money away on things that do no' make for effic, rie-.- we shall keep ourselves in better health and 'n r,-r-i5i our powers of production; 1 4 by investing our savins? in War Savings S'amp? we shall be putting asid? f'-r 'ho?o dr-vs which inevitably come, if we live long er.'Mitrh.
