Business Change

Owing to other activities I have turned my tailoring line over to Roy Dennis, the Tailor.

By JACK LAIT . The bachelor is "In" at last. For decades it has been the fashion to twit him, to tax him. to jibe him with his domestic slackerism, to ask him to hold the moist babies of the more dutiful benedicts and to hold him be

fore the scorn of Theodore Roosevelt,

and the other half of the nation. But, now I In solemn proclamation at s critical moment, President Wilson singles out the single men and addresses them as honored, select, chosen citizens, bearers of a sacred banner, soldiers of a mighty cause. "Unmarried men between the ages of 18 and 40" are the ones to whom Mr. Wilson intrusts the most vital mission in the history of the Stars and Stripes, the work of conquering the kaiser and of planting freedom over the universe. I He asks for 70,000 to be raised at once, able-bodied and able-hearted men who can plug the gaps in our regular army, the irst to be sent across seas where the greatest adventure of all times beckons. He chooses well. Through all the ages it has been the function of the unhampered, the carefree blade without wife or babies clinging to him, looking to him, crying to him, to shoulder the weapons of warfare and to venture his life the life that belongs to him and to his country alone in honorable battle. What good does it serve that a man should go on the line and leave behind him a woman and little ones to burden the land that is already straining with its maintenance of the men in the field? It is small favor to America to serve In Its ranks , at the front and leave a half dozen desolate and destitute in the rear. But the man without such responsibilities goes clear and comes clean. It Is the spirit of adventure, wise men have said, that makes many a man remain a bachelor. Marrying is, after all, a conventional thing. It has its sweet fruits, but there can be no denying that it chains a man, forces him to be cautious, binds his wings and dilutes with cares the liquor of his free abandon. Many a man does not marry until he is resigned to set his ways and move along slow, orderly, calculated, steady steps. But he who is wifeless and childless, he is untrammeled. He may follow the whims of pleasure or the stem, glad call of more noble exhilarations. And of them all what could be more magnificent, more blood-bubbling, more enticingly fascinating than this bugle blast to arms in the greatest fight of all times, the greatest game mankind has ever played, the contest for the championship of the world!

This is the bachelor's Inning. Today his nation looks into his eyes, seeking there the twinkling answer of the brave man who, without injustice to any undefended ones can and will go to defend the wives and children of his countrymen. The women and children Irst It has been the cry and the slogan of gallant men since manhood bloomed within the hairy breast of -the first brave human. And the unmarried man between 18 and 40 has now the duty and the privilege, the honor and the obligation to answer "Here" for the women and the children, the wards of the Stars and the Stripes. It is his chance to fight for the flag in the field of France. The army needs him. And he can go in the knowledge that he deprives no one while he battles for them all. It is a glorious opportunity. Embrace it today! Go to the nearest recruiting station and enlist.

House Is Silent As Mann Declares "Spy

Craze'9 is Prevalent

WASHINGTON, July 10. Republican leader Mann declared in the house today that "hysteria and spy craze" possesses the administration. He was speaking in opposition to a section of the trading witi. the, enemy bill designed to permit the president to designate alien enemies. "The department has gone crazy," he said. "They see a German spy on every house top and street corner. We have to carry on this war but that is no reason why we shoud be scared to death." Mr. Mann's remarks were received in silence by the house.

Milady Would a-Yachting Go

A white felt sombrero, a white flannel skirt, a little blouse of heavy white habutai, and then, to top it all in glory, a wonderful little coat of cadet blue (call it gray, if you like) and white checks. See what buttons can do when they march in orderly array. Behold the points of those saucy little triangles which top the pockets. You have no yacht? Well, try it on the' ocean strand or out on the golf links, or on the country club piazza or on a trip to any watering place. You will look smart, and the world will show that it appreciates the fact.

Mrs. Gaar Urges Church Women To Help In Red Cross Work; She Is Head Of State League

Mrs. W. W. Gaar, of the Richmond chapter of the Red Cross, Tuesday issued an appeal to church organizations of women, to assist In preparing surgical dressings and making socks for soldiers. x Mrs. Gaar, who has just been appointed State Commandant of the League for Woman's Service, wants to send 400 or more pairs of socks " to Indianapolis by September 1. "Richmond boys soon will be conscripted for military service and It won't be long after that they are on the battlefields," Mrs. Gaar said Tuesday. Only Five Work. "The women of Richmond surely realize that their son's life may be saved by the Red Cross society. Sur

gical dressings are needed and needed badly. They are used more than any other one thing on the battlefields. Only five women were at headquarters yesterday. "In Evansville one society alone sends 100 women one day each week to prepare surgical dressings. Surely the women of Richmond are as patriotic as the women of. Evansville. "Every woman in Richmond should devote some time to this work for humanity's sake. I don't believe Richmond women, when they realize the necessity for this work, will let the rest of the state call them slackers." Mrs. Gaar will go to Indianapolis Thursday to confer with Gov. James P. Goodrich regarding war work for

women.

Failure of the Wayne County Conscription Board No. 1 to receive a letter of instruction sent to all the boards in the state shortly after registration day, was the cause of the mistake in the numbering of the cards of the local board, according to Sheriff Carr, chairman of the board. Sheriff Carr discovered this in talking to Sheriff Hendrickson, of Union county, yesterday. In other counties of the state, a letter was sent to all the boards ordering the boards to do nothing with the cards until further instructions had been received. Wayne county had renaiveri nn Rne.h instructions and the

board went ahead with the numbering of the cards as ordered in the original

instruction book. No further word as to the disposal of the Wayne county cards has been received by the local board which now is awaiting orders to proceed with the selection of men.

Instructions as to how to proceed with the exemption of the men were received by the board this morning, but these orders were not made public.
