It Is highly Improbable that universal
military training legislation will be
passed by Congress at this session,
t'hiilmian 'Dent, of the House Military
Affairs Committee, Mated upon leaving
thn War Department after a lonforenco
with Secretary Baker
Chairman Chamberlain, of tho Senate
Military Committee, made a somewhat
similar assertion several weeks ago.
It Is generally believed that a ma
jority of both houses of CotigresH would
vote for unlven-al mllltnr training now
If the matter wai brought up, but it
will not be brought before Congress for
a vote this i-esslnn because the Admin
istration and the War Department nro
not ready for It
Speaking of the mutter today, Mr
Dent K.ild the pilnclpill objection to
universal training at present Is tint
tlin ollloers who would be necessary to
train tho joung men are actively en.
gaged In waging war and there would
be dldlculty In getting the proper train
ers for the raw recruits. Another rea
son he gave was that the War Dep irt
mont has now an enormous tafck on Its
hands training the thousands and thou-b.md-s
of oilkers ami men for actual war
and inunot well give time to training
men who may not be needed at once
riialrmin Dent Mild he believed there
need bo little doubt that legislation for
universal military training wilt easily

WASHINGTON', lleo. 7.
The Civilian Personnel Division of the
iirdiiniue Heparlment completed today
a canvass of the housing situation In
Washington with respect to nvallable
iicommodatlons for new llnv eminent em
ploes The net result Is theie are now
ready for occupancy In the clt rooms
which will houe lomfoilably nearly
3000 persons.
The Washington Chamber of Com
mene. Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, Council of National Defense and
Young Women's Christian Vssoclitlou
have given attention to the ptob.cm
The vastness of this underfilling Is ap
preciated when It Is understood that
Washington Is being filled upon to ac
commodate ipproxlniHtelv 60,000 tier
sons, or nearly on.seventh of Its norm il
population of about SR 1,000
An elTort Is being mnile to NistiniHtlze
the proposition so delnlled Information
will be avallab'e at one central point
as to the 111 comniodatlons on any given
date At the Y .M C A It was re
ported that ITS rooms, langlng In price
fiom $1" to $40 a month, are available
Mlicvvlse. at the V W C A It Is re
ported that there Is a list of COO rooms,
single or double, the iveroge 1 ost for
room nnd table board being $15 per
month.
Tho Council of National Defense has
undertaken a canvass of the entire clt,
precinct by precinct, and an Inspection
of all nvallable places by volunteer
workers.
A call lias gone out to all churches
requesting them to obtain from mem
bers of the various congregations the
list of mailable rooming quarters. Gen
eral willingness of citizens to open their
homes to the newcomers has been Kim
mendable, aieordlng to the persons who
have been handling the situation.
The Civilian 1'ersonnel Division la
pirtlcularlv Interested In this question
becau'n of tho large number of clerical
employis required. The Ordnanie De
partment Is rhargtd with providing all
munitions for the aim, and It requires

Neolin Soles Preserve Style
and Wear Longer
YOUR new shoes always have style and shape when you first wear them, but
how soon they lose their graceful lines if soled with ordinary leather soles.
But your Neolin-soled shoes preserve their style, because NeSlin Soles are
waterproof.
Ordinary leather soles are not waterproof. After one thorough wetting they
become spongy and porouc, so that they easily soak up literally breathe in the
moisture from snow underfoot, from muddied crossings, and even from the thin
film of water on pavements after thaws and showers.
This moisture soaks into the uppers and
the pressure of your walking foot causes the
shoe to stretch and lose sty.e and shape.
But waterproof Neulin Soles make shoes
last long because they protect the vital welts
and seams from moisture underfoot and
do it more comfortably and more neatly
than "rubbers."
And Neolin Soles last from two to six
times as long as ordinary leather.
.
With Neolin Soles, thin and light as they
are, need for re-soling disappears, for even
though they make the .uppers last longer
they often outwear them. '
And Neolin is so naturally flexible that
shoes soled with it require no breaking in.
You can set Neolin-soled shoes in
black, white or tan from most any shoe
dealer.
And remember that every NeSlin Sola
bears the brand Neolin. Mark that mark
stamp it on your memory lied! in
