Home Ec Head THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Proposal Lowers Age Limit To 18 WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan 10— The American Legion proposal to limit compulsory military service to young men between 18 and 21— currently going the rounds of Capi tol Hill in search of support—is belatedly forcing an out and out decision on. the real purpose of the selective service , law.. . Although • support for the sub stitute measure is still extremely shaky, passage of the amendment is by no means to be classed among political miracles. Legion forces are mobilizing in a concerted ef fort to secure decisive backing for • the bill. The "Legion Amendment" jointly introduced in the House and Senate this week—would re write entirely the Selective Serv ice Act substituting the age limits 1 Bto 21 in place of the exisiting 18 to 21 in place of the existing now 21, presumably, would escape the possibility of military service. Whether or .not the proposal turns out to be nothing more•than a "trial balloon," debate on the measure should follow a strikingly different pattern than the prolong ed wrangling that ushered in the first peace-time conscription bill last August. Then, debate on the general aspects of military con scription and its hint .of "totali tarianism" greatly overshadowed efforts to discuss The merits of the particular conscription bill before Congress. Now most authorities agree that there.is much to be desired in the existing law; criticism until the present having been aimed chiefly at the 21 to 36 year age limits. It is to be expected, therefore, that Congressional debates will get down to "brass tacks," if an ef : fort is made to improve upon earlier efforts. The central problem touched off by the Legion proposal arises from a divergence of opinion concerning the actual defense needs of the nation. The existing conscription law 7 zbased on actual -'war-time plans of the War Department seeks to produce a huge Army in the shortest time possible. Osten sibly, the Legion plan is to build up a "permanent" stock of trained men to be subject to call whenever a crisis should develop—in six months or in ten years. fabric And Color Concern Buyers There are three things to be considered in buying a dress: suit ability to the figure, a becoming color, and good fabric, according to Miss Elizabeth M. Lippard, in structor in clothing extension. "Suitability to the figure can be judged by sitting and standing with the dress on." Miss Lippard advised, "while the color should be examined under the kind of light in which it will be worn." The customer is advised to know label terminology, and to find out before - purchasing 'how the gar ment should, be cleaned. Miss Lip pard emphasized the following questions to answer before buying a dress: 1. Can the arms be stretched easily without straining the 'fabric? 2. Does the dress hang smoothly and straight? 3. Does the garment sag, twist, or bulge? 4. Are the seams.strong and well finished? 5. Are the fasteners and trim mings sewed on firmly? _ . 6. Is the hem ample? .7. Are the trimmings .a suitable part of the dress? • A - farrrier's son is more. likely to follow his father's occupation than the son - of a man in some other kind. of work, according to a sur vey at Cornell University.
