George C. Mullen yesterday afternoon. These two brands of puttees are worn only by commissioned officers and if a cadet adopts this style it will produce a false impression.

AMERICAN WOMEN ARE URGED TO AID IN FARM WORK, Kalamazoo, March .-"Women in the United States.must engage in farm work," Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, professor of psychological chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania and mem- ber of the federal war trade board declared yesterday. Similar sentiments are being ex- pressed all over the country by prom- inent people, and an important con- ference of Michigan women has been called to meet at Lansing, March 12 and 13. Food problems, registration of women for war service, will be discussed at this meeting. The purpose of the conference is to recruit large numbers of Michigan wo- men who will actually go out upon the land to plant, cultivate, and harvest crops, and also help the farmers' wives with the added burdens wkhich come to them through increased acre- age. The work in registration will be a preparation for the registration of Michigan women for war service, dur- ing the week of April 6. Governor Sleeper will publicly en- dorse the call and many men and wo- men of national prominence will ap- pear on the program of the two days' conference. - 7/ AD' - -- like brothe fitting, thoroughl is real , athletic underw Conforming lines and daint "cIs t It great, Jeane 2-Aetic Uhl,-k; wear JKlomen- for frst Iie brother wears !"
