Special to The Observer.
Davidson, Nov. JO. The inference
drawn from the reading at chapel of
official communications from Washington,-
received here this week, is
that the war department expects cer
tainly to continue the S. A. T. C.
under the contracts made with the
colleges this past summer throughout
the present scholastic year, that is,
until June 21. On the other hand it
In Illcelv that with the retention of all
t th. mlllfarv fAatilrAa ttfift thA wnr
aims' course, the colleges will be al
lowed to make such changes from
the present S. A. T. C. prescribed class
work that will allow an approximate
return to normal courses in academic
work proper after. December, If the
institutions concerned so choose.
While most ot the men In the & A. T.
C. will be held, It Is expected that
men who are In college simply because
of the 8. A. T. C. and who are eager
to again take up their work In. the
business world will be allowed to
return to their former employment.

Red Blood
Red Blood in the veins of the

You may never be called on to
fight, but you need rich, red blood
pumping through your body as
well as the man who is fighting.
Whatever work you are doing,
your country asks you to work ..
harder at it than ever before.
But you can't do your full patri
otic duty if your blood and body are
filled with weakness and torpor.
Root them out.
