YOUR V K V Colonel Glassford, of Signal Corps,. Points to Danger of Being Unprepared RESERVE PLAN SUGGESTED By Short Term of Service With out Re-enlistment Army Officer Thinks Competent lighting Force Might Be Created. That the United States should delay no longer In making extensive prepara tions for defense, is the opinion of Colonel William A. Glassford, of the Signal Corps of the United States Army, with headquarters at San Fran cisco, who is in the city after com pleting a tour of the Northwest and British Columbia. In support of his contention for a larger army and better preparedness in case of great exigencies. Colonel Glass ford referred to the advantages of uni versal service among European na tions, where the system has been on trial for more than half a century and instead of being a burden it has been fonnd to facilitate greatly Industrial and general development. "The question of training a large number of men in time of peace is one which heretofore has occupied the public mind but little." said Colonel Glassford. "Popular sentiment always has taken it for granted that there would be an abundance of time in which to equip and drill the forces necessary for war after war had been declared. The same notion prevails in regard to procuring guns, munitions and supplies. Ideas of this kind have been brought about by a variety of causes, but chiefly by the fact that the Atlantic Ocean heretofore has con stituted a uort of barrier between this country and the formidable military nations of Europe. Had the country been situated in closer proximity to Europe popular notions on these sub jects would have been quite different. Vanaled Safety Belled. "Our system of raising armies by untrained volunteers after war is de clared no longer will be safe in view of the great number of trained men who could be engaged immediately against them. At the outbreak of war every able-bodied man is supposed to respond to call in defense of the coun try. Then why should he not respond in a similar way for training in antici pation of war? The question of war or peace does not necessarily depng upon the will of a single nation; therefore in these times of general armament men should have military training as far as compatible with the ordinary vocations of life. "Wa need reserves of trained men to increase our Army in case of war, and we need a number of them several times greater than our present reg ular forces. How this reserve force may be created under our volunteer system of recruiting is a question that is much easier to ask than to answer. 1 have long been of the opinion that much could be accomplished in this di rection by a short term of service with out re-enlistment and by making the Army a school for the training of re serves. In ten years it would be pos sible to create a permanent reserve force of 600.000 men. The size -of the regular Army then evidently would de pend upon the reserves required and the time necessary in training thorn. Special liduuMfBt SspKrutcd. "The main difficulty in carrying- out this single term service without re enlistment lies in obtaining volunteers. In order to obtain these in sufficient numbers for the purpose of creating a reserve force special inducements will JiH.ve to be offered. Our Army, even at the present time, offers inducements which are as advantageous as many civil employment. There is no insti tution that offers sucli encouragement to saving and thrift as the Army. The possible accumulation of a term of serv ice would give a modest start in life to the young man upon his leaving the Army. But in view of the fact that the system of recruiting implies to a Kreat extent concurrence in the labor market,- further inducements will have to be offered. These do not necessarily mean increased pay. "By makinsr the military eervico ac complish the double purpose of training the young soldier and educating him at the same time, in order that he may at the conclusion of his service leave with acquisitions useful in civil life, an inducement would be created that no doubt would cause the requisite number of young men to enlist. "In creating- this reserve force no provision would be made for retaining men for further service in the army. In Germany and France a soldier on completing his training and entering the reserve still belongs to the army find is liable at any moment to be called again into active service. This would xiot be done under the volunteer sys tem of raising armies. The soldier on leaving the Army after his short term of service again would become en tirely free. His services in case of war oould be obtained only as a volunteer, or in extreme cases, as a oonscript, like others of the population. As a recognition of their greater value, the government well could afford to offer special bounty in order to procure thoir services. The main point is to bave trained men in sufficient number in tiie country. "Many are the influences that would rause men who had served a term in the Army to re-enlist in time of war. Public attention would turn naturally toward them as being the most qual ified for taking a leading part in the defense, and this would act as a power ful influence in determining them to volunteer.. Incitement In Canada Noted. "When sufficiently numerous they might he organized into skeleton mill tary bodies and their officers selected from those qualified to hold commis sions. The Government as well could encourage associations of reserves for wars to come as it has veterans of wars that have been." Colonel Glassford says there is con siderable excitement among the people of British Columbia over the present Kuropean conflict. War is the chief theme of conversation and the people there are awake to the possible need of their services. He noted considerable activity in recruiting and drilling. Tho Colonel's previous visit to Port- laud was seven years ago. He expressed great surprise over the growth of the city and the notable changes In the business district. He Is in "love" with Portland and declares when he retires from active service he will come here to live. 1 LJ ' S2s. Susses- SCottt ctr 'sA - J ' b ' ' V .

Foster, general agent for the Burlington Railway, has just re turned from Chicago, wearing & happy smile, a black eye and an air of cori- ndence regarding future business prospects. "Rube" went East to attend the conference of Burlington officials called to discuss plans for next year's busi ness. He reports that all hands agreed that business is fairly good and that it ought to get better soon after tne first of year. In fact near ly everyone admitted, be says, that it will get better. "The Burlington is still getting its big share of the traffic," he says, "and I look for the general volume of traffic to grow substantially after the frret of the year." ' Regarding his ornamental eye he explains that he got It by coming in contact with a woman's hatpin in one of those crowded Chicago elevators or elevated trains or something. CLOTHING FIRE AIDS LISTED Bureau Officials Give Instructions in Extinguishing Flames. Fire bureau officials have issued first-aid instructions for use In case of the clothing of a person catching fire. The directions, if followed, will in nine cases out of ten prevent serious dam age to the person catching fire, accord ing to the statement of Assistant Fire Marshal Roberts. "If a person's clothing catches fire," the directions read, "grab the person and throw him or her down. This changes the direction of the flames and saves eyes. ears, face and lungs. Then grab a blanket, carpet, coat or anything else handy and smother the flames. If your own clothing taks fire, lie down and roll while extin guishing the flames. To breathe fire, even invisible flame. Is nearly always fatal, because the heat shrivels up tiie lungs." POOR GET SAMPLE MILK City Donates Supplies lcft Over After Inspection. Milk, heretofore wasted by the city milk laboratories, after samples of it had been taken for analysis, is to be donated hereafter to charitable homes.

Nineteen members of the class were in the play, which was a decided success, financially and otherwise. , worth. Mount Tabor. Laurelhurst and some of the other parks will be started soon. This is the first concerted effort on the part ot the city to fix up the park plots attractively. The city has a great deal of park property which up to this time has not been improved. The im provement proposed now will be on an economical basis, but will make the breathing places available as full fledged parks. Particular attention is to be paid to Laurelhurst Park, where improvements have been few in recent years. Improvements are contemplated for Washington Park, but the plans have not been completed. DONT'S FOR CHRISTMAS OUT Assistant Fire Marshal Jtoberts Seeks to Decrease Fire Danger. With the approach of the Christmas season, which generally is a season in which fires are numerous. Assistant Fire Marshal Roberts, of the Under writers' Association, has issued a table of "don'ts" which, he says, if followed, will decrease the fire danger ma terially. Following are the "Don'ts"': Don't decorate your Christmas tree withx paper, cotton or any other in flammable material. Use metallc tin sel and other non-inflammable decora tions only, and set the tree securely so that the children in reaching for things can not tip it over. Don't use cotton to represent snow. If you must have snow use asbestos fiber. Don't light your tree with candles, or if you must have candles don't per mit children to light or relight them while' parents are not present. They frequently set fire to their clothing Instead. The tree itself will burn when the needles have become dry. Don't leave matches within reach of children at holiday time, ' for if the tree is to be lighted by candles the children will try to light them and ex periment with them. All Christmas home decorations should be arranged with the utmost care: the tree should be kept away from the fireplace and from all gas brackets. More than 300 kinds of fish are known to produce sounds. LIBRARY OPEN LUNGER CLOSING TIME OF CHILDREN'S DE PARTMENT Ss30 O'CLOCK.

In spite of the fact that I had already tried many preparations with out benefit, and my hair was thin and falling out very fast. I decided to give, your formula a trial. Accordingly, f tot my chemist to put up 6 ounces of ay Rum, 3 ounces of Lavona d Compoaee, and M dram of Menthol Crystals, and applied it regularly every morning and night. rubbing; carefully into the scalp with the fin ger tips. Much to my delight an astonishment the intolerable itcbin ceased with the first application, the dandruff disappeared, the falling out of the hair stopped completely, and b the time I had used four bottles I hud a finer, longer and more luxuriant f rowtb of hair than I had ever had be ore. I have since recommended thi formula to many of my friends wiUi equally wonderful results. 1 under stand that this formula can be pre pared by all chemists and drugffistis. and I strongly advise all your readers who have not yet given it a trial to cto so immediately. T. H. P. IMPORTANT On inquiry we learn that druggists everywhere keep this formula put up ready for use under the name of Lavona Hair Tonic, and giv with every bottle their signed personal guarantee of satisfaction or mon' back genuine evidence of its marvel ous properties.
