\ Park Rapids woman has solu-
ton to the "petticOat' dime mystery
that has come into tie Minneapolis
pOstOftice. Over 100000 women sent
dimes to a Minneapolis concern for
'pcttiCOats. The letters containing
the dimes are being turned over to
the dead letter Office. The Park Rap
ids woman suggests that all the wo-
men write the government authorize
ing the postofftce department to turn
the money over to the Armenian re-
lief fund. It is reasonable to sup
pose that half the 100000 women
would write that they were willing
to give their dimes to the Armenian
relief work. That would mean $35,-
900. The Minneapolis Journal points
out that the plan would cost too
much. Figuring that a postoffice de-
partment clerk would read three
names every second and that on an
average ne would have to read half
way down the list of $50. 900 to find
each name, it would take one clerk
more than two days Of eight hours
each on each letter. If government
clerks worked for less than five cents
a day. there might be slight margin
left for the Armenians.

RECRUITS FOR UNCLE SANS ARMY DRAWN
FROM MOST EVERY TRADE AND PROFESSION

Observation-Disclosures do the men
in our regular army come from?
Here's the answer and it shows
many trades and professions repre-
sented
The records show men who enlist
come from the working class. Of the
28,772 men who took their first en-
listment" obligation during 1914 (the
latest for which statistics are avail
able), more than One-third-that is,
1O,19O men-were occupied simply
as "labOrers."
The second largest contingent
came from the farm. One-eighth of
the whole number, or 3,487 of the
first enlistment recruits, were farm
ers."
The third largest class were the
clerks and bOOkkeepers, 1,706 of
them; then followed drivers and
stablemen," who contributed 1,272;
''machinists" numbered 1,018.
These five classes were the only
subdivisions that went over the thou
sand mark, but all the classes which
follow belong to the vast army of
workers.
Following in order come carpen-
tiers, fremen, cooks, electricians,
miners, painters, chauffeurs, plumb
ers, walters, taiEors, musicians, print
eTs, barkeepers, statesmen, engineers,
blacksmiths, bakers, sailors, railroad
hands, telegraphers.
The highly skilled trades and the
professions contribute few recruits.
Thus, out of the nearly $4,000 first
enlistment" men in 1914, only three
photographers, four wireless opera
tors, four doctors, four aviators, six
chemists, six baIlplayers and fifteen
actors appear in the lists.

NORFOLk'S DELEGATION
TO DISCUSS UNIT RULE
ISpecial to The TImes-Dispatch.I

Especial to The TlmeS-DiSpatch.l
NORFOLK. VA, May 20.-The ques-
ton of the adoption Of tho unit rule
probably will be discussed on Tuesday
night, when the thirty-four delegates
to the Roanoke convention meet for or
ganization. The main purposes OF the
meeting, however. are the election of
delegate at large to the Roanoke
convention, TO make Norfolk's full
quota of thirty-five delegates. and the
election of chairman Of the delega-
ton. J. ID. Hank, Citizens member
from Monroe Ward, Is the choice of
the Citizens party delegates, who con-
troll the delegation by the meagcr ma
jority of two-thfrds of one vote. IF
all tho Citizens party members are
present the delegate at large to he
elected will be the choice Of that fac
ton, giving 1t a majority Of one and
two-third votes.
The contention has been put forward
that the delegation has no right 10
select the delegate at large and that
the action of the city Democratic
Committee in selecting r. f. Sum-
mers must stand. 1t is likely, however,
that the delegation will elect the dele
