The brassards, which were design¬ ed and suggested by the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, will consist of a band of black broadcloth or other material three inches wide with the regulation militaiy star embroidered on its sur¬ face in gold thread. They will be worn on the left s'eeve, midway be¬ tween the shoulder and the elbow, and the number of stars will show the sacrifices made by each member of the family.
The mourning emblem will be made and distributed by the American Red Cross chapters woi king with local units of the Woman's Committee cf the Council of National Defence. It is expected the first distribution will be made about the middle of this month, as an additional supply of materials has been purchased by the Red Cross.
In announcing that the brassards wil! be manufactured, the woman's committee i.=sued the following brief statement:
"In adopting this insigna ths wom¬ an's committee desired that it should never be commercialized, but that it .-hould always be possible for mem¬ bers of families of those who have made this supreme Sacrifice to pre- pa'-e for themselves th's badge of honor."

All student-sqldiers will be given militarv instruction by army officers ¦and will be kept under observation and test to determine their qualifica¬ tions as officer oandidates, and tech¬ nical experts, such as engineers and chemists. Uniforms and other equip¬ ment will be furnished to the State College students by the War Depart- jnent.

Beware of "b^ok-agents" who, un¬ der cover of a discussion of their wares, adriotly try to spread the idea that the war is all wrong and its P'.o.^ecution should not receive public suoDort.
These book r.gents may represent themselves as being members of an "International .Association of Bible Studens" and direct your attention to "divine plans" and "battles of Arma¬ geddon". They are offering books that are banned as seditious litera¬ ture. But more insidious are the dis¬ loyal arguments they advance under the .guise of book canvassing.
Forest county was recently visited by this type of book agent, but the county council's prompt action result¬ ed in two arrests. The men proved to be aliens of draft age and were held as alien enemies.

At sc.iirely more than a hint from the government that gasclene resfves for the ar.niy and navy were being dangerously reduced, car owners kept their cars in the gar¬ age. They stayed at heme, or if they went out at all, they wa'ked or got out the "old gray mare."

Figures will reveal in a day or so what actual saving was accomplished of gasolene that must be hoartled for the tanks and motor lorries of the army and for destroyers and sub¬ marines, and a hundred other military Inises, but it is estimated that in the territory east of the Mississippi the total will run close to nine million gal¬ lons.
Tioga county people have responded nobly to the edicts of the government; with a wholeheartedness that is en¬ couraging, and this was no ex¬ ception. They were prompt and ready. A proper shame of braving public opinion, a real desire to ser\-e the nation, a quick and intelligent comprehension of the necessity of saving gasolene, constrained or in¬ spired people with cars to keep them in the garage and take their pleasure in simpler, more old fashioned ways, and they may be depended upon for even larger sacrifices in the future.

Men and women who are actually domiciled in the territory of a postoffice in the county and who meet the other re¬ quirements are eligible. Form and application blanks may be secured at the above offices or from the Civil Service Commission at Washington, D.

A slight modifica¬ tion of the program will also provide | an engineering course meeting the na¬ tional requii-ements.    Boys should at¬ tend until called to service.
If this unit is secured, as now seems practically certain, the boys of draft ; age at  the Normal will  receive mill- ! tary drill at least 6 hours a week, un- , der  a  regular  army  officer,  assisted , by  the  Normal  faculty  officers,   and j will   be   permitted   to   continue   their '. studies, unaffected by the draft, until actually neeiled in the service.    They will be trained for commissioned   and non-commissioned places in the arm.y, when   needed.    L'niforms   and   equip¬ ment will be furnished. i Parents who have boys of the draft | age will be glad to take advantage of : this opportunity to keep their sons in ' school, and at the same time prepare ' them for army service.
.Another important feature of the 1 iil, as apnroved by the War Depart¬ ment, authorizing the establishment of these units, is that the local draft board can send boys unibr 21 years of age to this school, if they think wise to do so. and there 's a possibility that the government will meet some of the expense.
