K. IN FRANCE It will be encouraging to the ne groes who are being drafted into service to know that one of their race f, who is already on the other side, writes cheerfully of the life there and is obviously well satisfied.

STUDENTS' ARMY TRAINING CORPS VOCATIONAL SECTION Information hat been received from the Committee on Education and Special Training at Washington that it is desired that the Vocational Sec tion be filled wholly or in part from men in the institution who are npt el igible for the Collegiate Section of the Students’ Army Training Corps. There are a number of men in the in stitution already in special courses who are not elegible for the Colle giate Section, but who are .eligible for the Vocational Section. In addi tion to these a large number of men were denied admission to the Colle- nte Section because they lacked the full requirements for this Section, and some of them were advised to ap ply to their Local Boards for Induc tion into this service. It is now de sired to induct these men directly within the institution. The require ment for the service is the completion of a grammar school education, but of course men with even partial high school training will find the work eas ier and may be able to win quicker promotion. The course includes Au- nechanics, Blacksmithing, Pipe- " g, Surveying, Power-plant Elec- „,J, and Radio (wireless tele graphy). The course lasts two months the next detachment beginning on Oc tober ltth. The men are regularly en- Iistkd in the army, and receive the full allowance of ap rhrate. They are given a full but intensive course ia the subject in which they work, and are then assigned to the duty for which they are fitted and needed. The detachment will not exceed three hundred men, and application should bem ade immediately to Pro fessor W.

THE SOUTHEASTEN FAIR PROMISES BIG EVENTS The advertisement of the Southeast ern Fair, Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12-19, which appears in another part of the paper is of especial interest to every one in Georgia, because of the fact that the United States Government has given it direct approval by'send ing a big war exhibit which graphi cally shows everything that is being done to win the war. The equipment of the Southeastern Fair in the way of adequate buildings properly ar ranged is such 'that the exhibit will be seen to a better advantage in Atlanta than in any other southern city. In addition to this very important feature, the entriee of live stock, ag riculture, boys and girls clubs and poultry have been received in each number as to indicate that the Fair equipment which has already cost a half million dollan, must be augment ed to take care of the later entries. This emphasises the fact that no other fair in the South will have the com pleteness in every part even ap proaching the Southeastern Fair. Of the recreational and entertain ment featurce, it may ba said that no expense or trouble has been spared to provide a program meeting, the needs of the people who have been working this year in the farm trench es and producing war necessities in the factories of Georgia. The race horses from the Grand Circuit include thes peed kings and queens of the world. Running races will have the speediest sprinters in the South. The free attractions in front of the grand stand comprise fifteen big hippo drome acts. The patriotic fireworks program will alone be worth twice t)io price of admission. Of all the special days that are fea tured, School Day is Jn the judgment of them anagement, the most import ant since the Southeastern Fair is an NEED FOR SPECIAL RED CROSS WORKERS In addition to the numerous peo ple the American Red Cross is sending abroad for service, there has arisen a large enough dneed for specialize workers in this country to make J it qehtesary to organize a new branch of the department of personnel to su perintend the recruiting and placing of these workers,. In the Southern, Division, this work is under the direc tion of J. W. Pearao, who has just re ceived from Washington a list of posi tions now open to male workers in tills country. The largest need at present is for high class men in the camps and the naval stations, 160 of these being wanted to set as field directors and assistants. Thess representatives will be in direct contact‘with Army Com manders and the heads of large hos pitals. They must command the re spect of and be fully fitted to mingle on a basis of intimacy with inch men; snd they must have tact, imagina tion, discretion and initiative. In addition a field director who speaks Spnnsh is needed nt Porto Rico; and In the CAnal Zone s field director snd three assistants. These assistants must speak Spanish also, but in the ease of tjie field director this is not necessary. He should bo a man df unusual ability and charac ter who would practically represent the Red Cron In the Zone.
