(Special) A second lieutenancy in the United States army is open, by competitive examination, to all graduates of the Oregon Agri cultural college who are-not over 27 years of age. Examinations, accord ing to an order issued August 3 from the war department, will be held on August 21 at some poin: in the Pacific Northwest to be subsequently desig noted by the adjutant general of the army, Washington, D. C, to whom ap plications should be made at once. Both a mental and a physical exam ination will be requisite to appoint ment, tha mental examination includ ing elementary French, German or Spanish, General History, elementary surveying, and a choice of advanced work in English, modern languages, analytical golometry, calculus, mili tary art and field engineering, or ad vanced surveying. . The order from the war department explains that "About 1500 vacancies now exist in the grade of second lieu tenant," and declares that "Under ex isting laws many of the officers ap pointed to these vacancies will be pro moted to the grade of first lieutenant in the near future." The opportun ity, therefore, is likely to prove very attractive to graduates of tho Oregon Agricultural college and other land grant colleges who aspire to military service as officers in the regular army. Specific information concerning the general character of tho examinations may be obtained from any military post or from the office of the com mandant of. cadets at the Oregon Agricultural college. The first step for all applicants to take is to get in to communication with the adjutant general of the army at Washington, who will furnish the necessary blanks for applying for examination, will designnte the place of the examina tion, and give the necessary directions for securing testimonials as to char acter and fitness for appWthtment. i - "Dinners And Funerals Cause Death" Says Admiral Dewey FLOUR Yes, that is what we have asked you to buy for some time and it isn't too late yet.

But probably never has this familiar defect of our American life been so boldly and effectively laid before the gazo of all ns in the William Fox photodrnma, "Hypocrisy," in which that Southern beauty, Virginia Pear son, is leading woman. Tho picture play "Hypocrisy" tells with forceful moral just what makes so-called high society really so low in many of its phuses. It lays bare the vices of social ambition, marriage for anything but love, men's business race for gold, women's climb to social glory, and all the dangers of gam bling, v.hcr in stock and bonds or at the fashionable biidge." The basis of the play was taken from New York life, where prolwhly America's money-mail and socinl climbing race is most completely ac centuated. But it applies us well to tho unwritten histories of every town of nny size, to those stories of social disgrace which are whispered from in Illinois.

But he knows that the only way to have a rule effective against dining is to have it inviolate. Otherwise, one would be constantly exciting animosity of old friends for accepting one dinner invi tation and declining another.
