Washington, March 2.-Final deci sion was reached by the house mili tary committee late today upon its bill for the increase yf the army and it will be reported unanimously to the house early, nekt week. In round fig ures the measure would authorize the formation of an army composed of regulars, National Guardsmen and federal volunteers with gt total peace strength of approximately 700,000 men. It provides for a maximum strength of 170,000 fighting trops for the reg ular army for -a minimum of '125,000 for the National Guard within five years and for orgapization of federal volunteers through an extension of tho summer training cimp idea. It is estimated that 100,000 men can be en rolled in the latter force. The bill retains provision for or ganization of industrial and technical reserves, and authorizes creation of a board of officers to control an indus trial mobilization in time of war or imminence of war. It also provides that manufacturers of war materials must give immediate preference to government orders in war time, or when there is danger of war, under heavy penalty for failure to (10 s0. While the minimum strength of the regular army remained at 1-0,000 a change was made before the final vote to fix the maximum of fighting troops at 170,000 bringing the total authoriz ed strength of the regular force, in cluding the hospital corps other non combatant troops to 190,00. Although all members of the com mittee wil sign the bill they do so under the reservation that they may support upon the floor of Ilie house / any amendment they desire.

WOMEN HAVE NEVER FAILED All History Shows Their Quickness to Respond When Duty Has Called Them. If Great Britain really needs any form of military porvice from her women, she has but to speak the word and millions of volunteers' will respond. Lord Kitchener could begin organizing a corps of amazons tomor row if ho chose to ask volunteers for such'service. The women of the lrit ist races, in the home isles and on this continent, have over boen ready to serve their country effectively In time of war. When Mr.'Lincoln was unwillingly drafting men into the army, women were volunteering for all sorts of service. At times then and sinco the number of such volun teers for hospital service has been embarrassingly large. The women of the Confederacy made amazing sac rifices to aid the ragged armies in the fild. Some of them took their lives in their haa s and acted as spies. Thousands and hundreds of thousands sewed and knitted and spun, and not a few actually worked it the cornfields and cottonflelds. The .need for such work was not so grave in the North, but. millions of women above Mason and Dixon's line woro ready to volunteer for any service that the government at Washington .might require of them. In all this, the women on both sides but imitated their great-grattnothers of the Revo lution. No modern war has been fought without the aid of women, and such women were always volunteers. Men sometimes have to be dragooned to serve their country, but thus far in human history the simple call to duty has been suflicient for the women of any nation.-Vogue. WONDERS OF GRAND CANYON No Other Spot on Earth 1 Believed to Possess the Same interesting Formations. lany people still living can remem her a thrill of Wonder and admiration that ran through the woril in reading of the. dlaring exploit of Major Powell in 1 *%t in navigating the rapids of the grat d ('anyon of Arizota in a small boat.

The farmer who puts away his farr1 machinery without oiling and clean ing It is certain to lose in the dete rioration of the machinery many times what the time to caro for it would have been worth. Failure to take care of farm machinery is a source of largo loss to the American farmer annually. Most farmers realize that they would save money by taking good care of their machines, but neglect to do so, either through carelessness or in difference. The most important stop toward having efficient machinery is keeping; it in good repair. In spare time, each machino should be care fully inspected and all missing, broken or overworn parts noted. Write the names and numbers of missing parts on tags and fasten these tags to the machine. All machines should have a general inspection at least once a year. A rainy day in late fall is very good for this purpose. .Exposure to weather Injures both wooden and metal parts of machines and a machinery shed shou' I by all moans bo part of the farm equip ment. .Ivery machine should be clean ecl, oiled, and housed after it has been used. Painting aids greatly In improving the appearance and prolonging the life of iachines. It protects both wood and metal from the weather. Paint should be usd( freely when needed. One of the best paints for all farm in1iplemcits Is nmade with red lead and linseed oil. The Ise of good farm iiilements is increasiig rapidly in South Carolina and fiarniers owe it to themtselv es to be more careful of their tools. In the year that has gone. they have learned some imi rtant lessons in economy, but there is probably no more practi cal way in which a farmer can econo mi" than by taking the proimr care of heis farn implemen ts-repai ring theml, oiling them, housing -them, and painting them.
