Wbile there are not a great many technical schools in Louisiana, three phases of educational work will have to be met: 1. Training of women to take the place of men called in to the service of the army and navy; 2, training of men to meet the in creased demand for executive ability caused by the necessity for increased national efficiency; 2, vocational ser vice that trained men and women may be placed where their service will do the most good. The colleges and universities, including our own Louisiana State University, drawing students largely at the draft age, will have to make up in thorough ness and intensive training what is lacking in numbers. It will gain us nothing to fight to make the world safe for democracy and lose our own strength in the fighting. The young men of today must become the rescue of the country of tomorrow, a country modified by war and all that war brings in its lurid train. They must be made ready for these burdens. This is one of the su preme duties of the hour. BARIUM SPRINGS ORPHANAGE The Woman's Auxiliary of the Pres byterian church has received a letter from Mrs. J. H. Reid, secretary of orphanage work, making an earnest appeal to the members to give a part of their canned fruit and vege tables, the letter especially, to the orphanage. Think what it means to feed nearly three hundred people three times a day. Why it takes a barrel of flour for one meal and fifty quarts of fruit, etc, for serving. We have been a bundantly blessed this summer and these fatherless ones are dependent on us for support. So let each member of the Auxiliary give as freely as she is able. All the ladies of the congregation are also cordially invited to contribute, for we are all interested in the orphanage and re membering out own children's "sweet tooth' can't we tuck in a few jars of jelly, preserves? Mrs. Royall Woodall has kindly consented to re ceice the pars, etc, so please send them to her residence on 13th ave nue on Tuesday the 25th. MEMBER. FIRST LINE TRENCHES SAFE Washington Post. "The first line of trenshes.' It thrills Americans as well as the peo ple of all nations and makes our sol diers pause and wonder," remarked Representative Murdock of Kansas, now a member of the federal trade commission. 'But the 'first line of Frenches' is disappointing in a way. Imagina tion has pictured the first line of trenches on the western front of Eu rope as the mosst thrilling place of the battle, but, as a matter of tact, it is the most solemn and, except that it is the battle front, the most un interesting. , "One can almost cut the quietness that hangs like a pall for the most part over this first line. It is only the newcomers that are awed by the first line. Once a man has been in the first line for a few days he is possessed by the most remarkable sense of security. Ordinarily there is little doing for the best part of the time a man is engaged there, for. mind you, feoldiers are not required to remain long in the front trench es. "Occasionally a new man will start something when he loses his head and shoots off a rifle. There seems to be an understanding between the two creat forces forming the oppos ing first lines that the soldiers of either force had best be careful, be cause if something is started some bodv may eet hurt. ''I observed while at the front that on Friday at noon the German first line appeared to relax all activity and I asked the English officer what was the reason. He replied that it had got the whole line to won deriner. because always since the war was carried into France and Bel gium the Germans had ceased all op erations on Friday between the hours of ' 2 and 4. or thereabouts. The onlv explanation the officer could give, he said, was that on that day of each week the Germans took an account of their stock of munitions "'And.' added the officer, 'there is no place in the world more isafe from German shells than the front line of trenches on Friday after. noon.'

The "horse chestnut collec tor" is the latest official to be added to France's long list of functionaries. One will be appointed m each com mune of France to verify the quali ties of horse chestnuts collected by school children and turned over to the state in the interest of the na tional defense. The crop is immense in France. Heretofore it has been only partially utilized as fod der. The bulk of it found no other employment than that of munitions for boys' battles. The government has appealed to the school children to see that not a horse chestnut goes to waste. Their use as fodder will be extended to re place corn, rice, barley, etc., in the manufacture of alcohol and acetone. P. A. MILLER Automobile and Livery Service.
