While the soldiers and sailors in the various camps of the country are waiting to be demobilized, they will be given an opportunity to take advantage of en larged educational programs which will be operated in all camps by the Y. M. C. A. In the Southeastern department, which includes the states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisi- ana, Tennessee, North Carolina and; South Carolina, Prof. A. M.

A. NEEDS ONLY STRONG MEN OVERSEAS Candidates for Duty Over There Must Be True Christian Leaders. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. What type men are now needed as Y. M. C. A. workers overseas? Only men of es tablished Christian character, culture and leadership, ministers" and men who have had experience fn relig ious work in the church and the Young Men's Christian Associations. In addition to this particular group of men, all of whom would naturally Qualify for hut leadership, there is a call, according to information just re ceived from New York, for educational administrators, such as school super intendents, high school and grade prin cipals and college and university pro fessors. Thera is still a call for good chauf feune, mechanicians and entertainers for overseas duty, all of whom must be of good moral character. It Is stated that the Y. M. C. A. Is no longer in need of such men as warehouse superintendents and work ers, store-room clerks, bookkeepers, transportation and construction super intendents, carpenters, electricians, fcUtmbers. However, a number of high grade stenographers, accountants and motidii picture operators can be well used by 111 s Y. M. C. A. overseas at this time. "Deep Stuff" Is What Doughboys Read Over Paris. (By Mail.) Not "best "sellers" but serious works is the ;litei- 4 ( ary refreshment demanded by the American soldiers in France, now that the war is over, and our boys are waiting to get back hotiie.

They were so much in earnest about it that the Y.' M. C Ai -decided to start its first class in practical arts in France. B. H. Morri- son, formerly an instructor in the States Teachers' College of Greeley, Colorado, was sent for to take charge of the class. ... -4J. The first real impediment to intellectual research among the buck pri vates presented itself when it was discovered that there wasn't so faraa any could find out, an American book on applied mathematics In .alli?i France. .There were the French ones, of course, but none should , be ex-.;, pected to study French and Mathematics simultaneously. It really isnt , well to mix drinks from the fort of learning in that way. Mr. Morri son, however, was undaunted by the absence of textbooks and volun teered to teach without them until the ones which were wired f or im- mediately could arrive from the good old U. S.

A sugar-coated American Expeditionary Force is the ideal now being striven for in the mark-time period of the armistice and demobilization, with fighting gone and the American fighting men suddenly turned into a uniformed tourist-seeing France. Peace,; as has been quoted often, has victories, and one of them is to be the victory over the evil in fluences which besiege .an idle army. In this campaign th y. M7 C. A. has planned the drive and he ;sol diers are executing it. Incidentally, the Y. M. C. A. has gone into compe tition with the wine-shop, as this story will relate. During the period of demobilization, the Y. M. Jd A. will have an even greater responsibility than it has had Tvbile the war was on. The soldiers then had the Inspiration of being in the fight or backing up the fighters to 6pur thorn on. They also were ex tremely busy and their time for recre 1 i ation and for spending money was .limited. But there has been a let idown since the armistice was signed, .-and the men in olive drab are wait ing for transportation home. Idleness always means trouble and discussing questions of importance to the men attending the classes.

Supplies 77f Tons of thej Country's Favorite "Jaw Developer" to Soldiers In One Month-r-That , s Was 16,320,000 Sticks!, Paris, Dec.. 1. (By Mail.) The? T. M. C. A. furnishes most of the chewrj ing gum for our soldiers and Aailors! overseas. For one month's delivery recently It ordered 77 y tons of Amer ica's favorite jaw developer: When one speaks of chewing $unr in tons, the human mind starts , to miss fire and skid, for it takes con siderable gum to weigh 2,000 pounds. There are 16,320,000 sticks In 72' tons. . t Figuring the length of a stick ,of gum as three inches, this means 48,- 960,000 inches of gum. Dividing by 12 we have 4,080,000 feet of'ttie sue- ulent sticks. When you, reduce this to miles you have just plain, 77 1.5; plus. ' . ' t But even more stupendous figures! are to be had when you compute' "t&V number of "Jaw-miles? that this much ; gum represents. It was found, t tha the average man of phlegmatic i.'tem- . perament chews 70 times a -minute, while an energetic, hard-working; . am bitious ytrang man will make, 80 ronjKt trips with his jaws In the same length f time.

There are drills and 'discipline' atfd' for many, the work of helping to put' France on her feet again. .At the. same time, the mn have more, lej-, sure and more chances to buy things than they had before. if- t One of the most important things the Y. M. C. A. expects to do during' the demobilization period is to 'enter into active competition, with ..the French' wine shops. No, the Red' Tri angle is not going into the saloon busi-' ness. It is planning , to fight alcohol J with sugar. According to medical eW perts, this is the best kind, of arnmu- nition to use in a battle against the more or less well-known Demons ' Heavy drinkers don't care for sugar and heavy consumers of sweets -tnra-; ally pass up the "booze.".
