Of the 9,500,000 men between 18 and 25 who ill register at the various offices in their communities or coun- es, only shout a quarter ot a million win lee: ine man wunin he next year. Anyone between the ages of 18 and 25 must personally let Yncle Sam know that he's around but none will be cloaked with iaki until he has reached the age of 19. Wedding bells may be waling in jig time, for single men now eligible for the draft can become eligible for deferment by getting married before register ing. i Even with this peacetime selective service act the depart ment of the army informs us that both the Army and the Air Force will continue to rely heavily on three-year volunteers for .ioir manpower needs. In addition to the increase in authorized strength of the Arrriy, as provided by the draft, the Army is au thorized to enlist 110,000 18-year-olds (within a limited monthly aUota) for one year of training Calling of men who wi". re.ster within the next month will pot start until after Sept. 22. The calls will be relatively light for the first few months and dtin.ig the first year of the draft they are not expected to exceed Tifl.OOO men a month. The Army hopes that during the first year the number of men who enlist or re-enlist voluntarily will exceed the number who have to be drafted! t: Next Monday men who were born In 1922, after Aug. 30. will register. Men born in 1923 will register Aug. 31 or Sept. 1; 1924 Sept. 2 or 3; 1925 Sept. 4 or 7; 192G Sept. 8 or 9; 1927 -Sept. 10 or 11; 1928 Sept. 13 or 14: 1929 -Sept. 15 or 16; 1930 (if born before Sept. 19) register Sept. 17 or 18. Boys who aren't 18 by Sept. 19 must then register the day ol their 18lh birthday or five days thereafter. They won't be drafted until they are 19 men past 26 can t he drafted under this service act. Men who are away from home on the day they are to register should go to any registration center and fill out a card. It will then be sent to the registrant's local draft board. Many persons, not only mothers, arc thinking despairingly that the draft is unnecessary. Much that has been written and : said in favcr of and against it has not come to the fore only with in the past several months, but peacetime conscription has been debated here ever since militarism in Europe put a hormal world in jeopardy. Now we have instituted military training for our young men. If we have erred, only the future can reveal the mistake. Even then there will be no unanimous agreement as to whether the move was wise or foolish. In an uneasy world military strength seems to offer a type of security we are more confident in than the type offered by the United Nations. Maybe the draft will be the instrument that bridges the gap between the present and the period when we reach the advanced state of international cooperation. Believing, this is a more calming thought than believing that the draft is the beginning of another war. Jf America's young men are as uncontrollable as many psy chologists would have us believe, a year of military training can do them no harm. Simply being practical about it, Uncle Sam says "Register!" U.and it'i a command to be followed, not blindly but hopefully. Thoughts for an open mind... Tares can grow in any field but they .CANNOT LIVE in one carefully cultivated. Let the plough-share go deep. A man should never try to purchase pleasure at the cost of pain. To estimate a man's condition in regard to happiness, it is neces sary to ask, not what things please him, but what things trouble him. In their search for gold, the alchemists discovered other things, gun powder, china, medicines, the laws of nature. There is - a sense in which we are all alchemists. v.- .. . . . . . . muy lurnish your mind with strong and inspiring thoughts, and you will imbibe their spirit and acquire their self-confidence. Utilize the little spare moments of the day fragments of time in which to seire upon one or two great ideas from a master and plant them in your mental field.

Anne's beauty attracted the de sires of Rackham, who took her away from Bonhry. to become his mispress and to sail with him on his voyages of rapine and plunder. It is said that her courage equalled that of any member, of the diabo lical crew. For her deeds of da ring, Rackham renamed his ship the "Oueeh Anne's Revenge." Mary Read of whom history has little to say was at one time a member of the crew of the "Revenge." As became the fate of manv pi rates of that period. Rackham was captured, tried and nun?.
