- PHONE 273 -
Washington, Feb. 14.-The depart-
ment of labor has completed the or-
ganization of the United States Boys'
,Working Reserve, which will give all
boys between the gages of 16 and 21
years a chance to help their country
by working on the farms and in the
shops while their bigger brothers are
fighting in the trenches. The reserve
has been made a war emergency bur-
eau of the department. .
Although many have already been
enrolled in the corps, an attempt will
be made to have every boy in the couh-
try who is eligible take part in the
movement, and to this end the week
of March 18 has been set aside as the
national enrollment period.
Can Choose Units
There are three units of the reserve,
and the boys are given their choice
as to which one they would rather
join. If they join the agricultural unit,
they will work on farms. After six
weeks of satisfactory service they will
receive the federal badge bearing the
great seal of the United States.
If they join the industrial unit, tley
will go to work in some war-essential
industry, and after 10 weeks' service
they will receive the federal -bronze
medal. The third unit is the vocation-
al unit. The boys in this unit are
advised to remain in school, but to
prepare themselves for some vocation-
al occupation. Upon the completion
of their training, and their entrance
into active service in a war-essential
occupation, they will get the federal
bronze medal.
Movement Endorsed
The movement has been endorsed
by the President, and various other
prominent men, including Herbert
Hoover,'George Ade, Theodore Roose-
velt, and many governors of states
where- the plan has already been
tried. ,
"The United States Boys' Working
Reserve is not being organized for
lads who have to work for a living,"
says George Ade. "Nearly every sold-
ier now wearing a uniform could
make more money at home. You are
not asked to work because you need
the money. You are asked because
your country needs your help and re-
lies on it. If your big brother can*
dig trenches, surely you can plow
corn.
Women Should Be Spared
Are we going to do as they have
done in England?-dress the women in
men's garments and put them to
cleaning streets, making explosives,
wiping up locomotives in round hous-
es, and doing all the hard menial
tasks? We mustn't come to that-not
while we have on'hand a whole army
of young fellows between 16 and 21,
nearly everyone of whom has gone
into some kind of athletic sport and is
physically able, and would be as mad
as a hornet if you told him he was
a man's pet and not able to do a
man's work.
"The boys between 16 and 21 will
correct the shortage of man power.
This is the trumpet call for all of
them, and they must answer the call."

One Drop WilI Kili a man
r Immediately after the formation of
ithe reorganized companies. of the
.Second regiment yesterday afternoon,
on North University avenue, two
rookies aired their sentiments about
the R. 0. T. C.
"I'm tired of school," said the first
rookie, "and I'm going to leave and
join the aviation corps."
"You are foolish," replied the sec-
1ond rookie. "Don't you know that
4hat branch of the service is like
strychnine?"
, "No, how's that?" was the Inquisi-
tive reply.
/ "Why-er--one drop will kill a
man!" answered the second rookie
as he beat a hasty retreat.
