E. C. Butler. '18L, Robert Grindley,
'21E, and R. C. Angell, '21, received
the highest marks in the recent com-
petitive- examinations for the head-
quarters company of the R. O. T. C.
The position of first sergeant was giv-
en to F. M. Thompson, '21.
The headquarters company is being
organized for the purpose of handl-
ing all the office work, the absence
rolls, and the records of the .entire
brigade.
Cadets in this cmpany have. been
assigned to regular working hours,
and will make their headquarters in
the R. 0. T. C. office in Waterman gym-
nasium. At the present time a min-
imum of three hours per week, in.
addition to the regular drill period,
is required of every cadet in . the
headquarters company. Plans have
been made for men to work longer
hours if they choose.
Basis of Promotion
Promotion will be based on the
amount and quality of work the cad-
ets do. A complete system will be
adopted affecting primarily the issu-
ing of orders, which will probably be
typewritten, instead of being given
verbally.
Suitable desks and full equipment
will be provided as soon as possible.;
Plans are now being formulated to
install the company in the R. 0. T. C.
offices in Waterman gymnasium. A
course, which will consist of a ser-
ies of lectures and drills, is being
planned for the cadets in this com-
pany. The purpose of the new course
is to train the cadets thoroughly be-
fore they undertake their official dut-
ies.

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 18--Plans for
the mobilization of an army of
defense to be composed of several
hundred thousand men are being
put ' into execution with almost
feverish haste, but no announce-
ment has been made that Brazil
will send troops to Europe. It is gen-
erally believed that this fighting force
is to remain in Brazil.
When Brazil declared a state of war
to exist with the German empire, the
Brazilian. army was composed of 18,-
000 men, with officers enough for 30,-
000. Plans were made immediately
for increasing the standing army to
35,000 men by Jan. 1, 1918, with the
possibility of further increasing it to
100,000 within the year.
Mobilization Plan
The mobilization plan provides for
three lines of defense; the first to com-
prise eventually 100,000 youths be-
tween the ages of 17 and 30. To as-
sure this number, it is said in official
circles that conscription will take the
place of the voluntary system of en-
lisment which has been in effect until
now..
The second line is to consist of an
army of 500,000 men between the ages
of 30 and 37, with detachments in
every city and town in the republic.
These men are to be mobilized on a
war footing, ready for service at short
notice, though it is not believed that
they will be kept continually under
arms. The plan apparently is to or-
ganize them as a home guard and per-
mit them to attend to their business
affairs, devoting stated periods of time
to drill.
In addition to these two armies,
there is Aoabe a reserveaarmy, to be
known as the national guard, compris-
ing men between 37 and.44. The of-
ficers of this force are to be chosen
from government admistrative officers,
commercial men, and employers of in-
dustry.

advertising. Try it.-Adv.

"Under Pressure," appearing at the
Whitney Sunday night, comes from
the pen of Sidney Rosenfeld, the well
known author of "The'Senator," "The
Vanderbilt Cup" that started Elsie
Janis to stardom, and the original
"Passing Show" that was the parent
of all subsequent "Passing Shows."
"Under Pressure" tells the story of
a violentcourtship, a "Love Drive,"
which gives It the second title under
which it was played in New York.
The play had.achieved a success on
the road under the title "Under Pres-
-sure," before it came to New York,
but tlje managers of the Criterion
Theater, New- York, had misgivings
that some might think it a war play,
and therefore rechristened it.
This same company will present
this play at the Detroit Opera House,
Detroit, during all of next week. The
piece is said to contain a large num-
ber of startling situations, and the
whole play holds the audience in sus-
pense from start to finish. The com-
pany is headed by John Westley, and
Pauline Lord plays the part of the
heroine.
Choice Bits From
College Exchanges
The University of Wisconsin has or--
ganized a tutoring system whereby
freshmen women who have mid-semes-
ter grades below standard will be tu-
tored by their junior advisors. Junior
women registered last week the sub-
jects which they could tutor, and the
hours they had free for work.
The Y. M. C. A. of the University of
Pennsylvania -has recently opened a
home for foreign students. William
M. Potts, an alumnus, gave $30,000
toward the home and rooms will be
furnished separately as memorials to
different organizations.
McGill University has been present-
ed with tWi~ colors of the 148th Bat-
talion, Canadian infantry, to be kept
as a war relic. This battalion, which
is the mother battalion of the Cana-
dian Officers' training corps, was
formed at McGill. The colors were
brought back from overseas in Octo-
ber and will be kept hereafter in the
Ridpath library.
WOMEN'S CONVENTION PLANS
EDUCATION OF BLIND SOLDIERS
Kalamazoo, Jan. 16.-Discussion of
plans to educate for industrial ser-
vice the soldiers who come back from
the front blinded will be a feature
of the convention of the Women's de-
fense committee to be held Jan. 17 and
18 at the Hotel Statler in Detroit.
Miss Roberta Griffith( executive sec-
retary of the Grand Rapids association
for the blind, will make this problem
the subject of an address.- She lays
great emphasis first, on training blind
persons to work beside seeing per-
sons, not in special institutions; and
second, on training them to do work
for which there is a regular demand,
so that the purchase of their products
is not actuated by charitable motives.
Herself blind since she was three
years of age, Miss Griffith has been
able, through special training and edu-
cation, to engage successfully in busi-
ness pursuits. She was educated at
the Michigan and Ohio schools for the
blind, and at Western Reserve univer-
sity.

Gowns adCaats
In the twenty or more exquisite silk dresses gathered from authoritative
designers, can be noted all the important features of.the new styles-the drap-
ed tunic, the bustle, the flounce effect, and the high waisted and coat effects.
New rich materials appear with old favorites-gros de londe, chiffon-
taffeta, pussy willow taffeta, crepe meteor, and taffeta and satin stripes in drab,
silver gray, rose, military blue, French blue and navy.
Jet beading and blue and silver embroidered motifs are used frequently
for trimming.
One of the very cleverest models has a long deep scalloped tunic, and a
small round collar that extends into a lapel and fastens, coat fashion, with
two large buttons.
The coats are three-quarter and full length; fancy lined, half or full
belted; and trimmed with white broadcloth or Persian over-collars.
The materials include wool poplin, chiffon-broadcloth, summer velour,
summer bolivia, Poiret twill and serge.
