NEW YORK BANKER LIVES
 IN TENEMENT HOUSE
(By United Press.)

New York, Oct. 13.-Columbus, O.. has the distinction of giving to New York the only man in the entire length and breadth of Manhattan Island who lives below Fulton street. He is Henry L. Doherty, banker, of No. 60 Wall street.
 Doherty, who started out in life as newsboy on the streets of Columbus and who now is millionaire banker and owner of some 200 public utili- ties has unique home at the corner of Bridge and Broad streets on the lower tip of Manhattan Island.
 Across the street is the old Fraunce Tavern where Washington bade fare we'll to his troops. To the south is the New York harbor with its myriad of ferryboats.
 Doherty, an indefatigable worker. formerly had home on Riverside Drive, but found that after working until past midnight it was a long trip home in his automobile. So he looked about for place in the neighborhaad where he could sleep until the next day. There are no hotels below Full ton street-save perhaps for few longshoremen resorts, so at last De- herty discovered an apartment in the tenement house at Bridge and Broad streets.
 He rented two rooms and had them reftted in keeping with his station in life. The lower end of the island after midnight is practically deserted, only the staccato beat of the night watchman's stick and the chimes of Trinity break the stly air. Doherty found he could sleep better away from the noise and after two weeks rented the entire second floor of the building. There are large living rooms, guests rooms and one music room in which is installed large pipe organ where Doherty amuses himself after hard nights work on the stupendous de- tails of his enormous business.
 The apartment is lighted by sys- tenn of flood lighting that gives added charm to the rare bric-a-brac and costly fittings. A negro servitor acts as cook and general factotum. There is no elevator but the visitor after a walk up tiny pain of stairs finds himself in one of the most tastefully decorated and quiet homes in the city.

MORRIS OUT OF CONSIDERATION
(By H. c. Hamilton, United Press
 Staff Correspondent

Staff Correspondent.)
 New York, Oct. 13.-Fred Fulton and Billy Miske between them have eliminated Carl Morris from serious consideration as contender for the crown worn by Jess Willard.
 The Oklahoma fighter, in disrepute because of his rough fighting, seems to have sadly slipped even as maui CT, for Billy Miske, weighing far less than Morris, met him at that game and beat him up something scandalous
 Morris never was an invincible scrapper. Luther Mccarthy proved that more effectively than anyone else when he stopped Carl in Springfield, Mo-, but Carl has been able to butt and slam his way through most of the opposition, hard enough at any rate to make him a serious obstacle in the paths of most men who aspired to a bout with Willard
 Fred Fulton made himself decidedly unpopular, in his New York meeting with Morris when he fouled his huge opponent and was disqualified. He made it worse when he began to cry after the bout that it was Morris who did all the fouling and that he was forced to foul tactics in self-defense His shouts went unheeded until he got Morris into a ring in Ohio and proved that Morris was fouled fighter. Fulton won that fight and immediately hopped back into the spotlight.
 Miske's victory must be taken with due deliberation by the fight fans, for it presages a return of the small heavyweights to popular favor. Back in the days of Bob Fitzsimmons and John L. Sullivan it was contended that the ideal size for a heavyweight was under 200 pounds, but the recent heavies have been far over that mark. Little Jack Dillon almost proved. and Billy Miske seems to have taken up the cudgel. Guaged by these most re- cent happenings it looks more and more as if Fred Fulton would have a chance in a scrap with Willard. And. then, it wouldn't be Imaginable at all for Fulton if he were to meet Miske, for the St. Paul demon has proved his worthiness against the big men. It would be stretching point to con sider Miske in a bout with Willard, for Willard is much too huge for Miske to reach with any telling effect.

FRENCH GIRL ORGANIZED
 WOMAN'S REGIMENT
(By United Press.)

Lowell, Mass, Oct. 13.-Unknown, unheralded, few weeks ago Emma LeClair, pretty, brown-eyed French girl of twenty years, stood before loom in big knitting factory here.
 Today she is commander of prob ably the only woman's military or ganization of it's kind in the country, Company A. First Woman's Regiment of Massachusetts.
 The regiment numbers 100 and is increasing rapidly. Under Miss Le- Clair's guidance these girls are learn ing the meaning of military discipline and how to choulder a gun.
 "We want to drill; to be ready if we are needed,' Miss LeClair said, speaking of her command. At least we can be used as messengers and can help in the war in many ways"
 Later this girl commander plans to organize other companies throughout the state.

 Lady.

Whitwell, Tenn-Mrs. c. P. Cart. wright, of this place, writes: About four years ago the dizzy spells got so bad that when I would start to walk I would just pretty near fall. I wasn't past doing my work, but was very much rundown.
 told my husband I thought Cardui would help me, as lady who lived next door to me had taken great deal, and told me to try it. This was when we were living in Kentucky.
 My husband got me a bottle and took it according to directions. It helped me so much that he went back and got me another bottle. I got whole lot better and just quit taking it. got over the dizzy spells. I took no other medicine at that time nor since for this trouble. No, I've never regretted taking Cardui.

SOLDIERS AT CAMP
 PIKE ARE CONTENTED
(By United Press.)

Little Rock, Oct. 13.-When ball and bat appears there is no homesick- ness. If this is the infallible sign, there will be no homesickness in Camp Pike. Every afternoon when work is over, balls and bats appear as by magic and the great national game SOn All drill grounds are surround ed by those who come to cheer as well as play and it is only the approach of dusk or the mess call that ends the rastime. The mess call is the popular tune at Camp Pike and it will put an end to almost anything.
 An appetite is another sign of con- eminent for the man with worries is
 not the man who eats heartily. It
 would take man with a deep rooted aament to resist the menu and the cooking of 1917 army cook. These
 men are graduates in cooking. and as well qualified for the service as the
 graduate nurse is for the hospital. If
 must be told, some of the cooks at
 Camp Pike have done their bit in
 kitchens of the principal hotels of the south and many of them were digni-
 ned there with the salary and classifi-
 eaton of chef. One cook at Camp

MAY CALL SECOND
 INCREMENT SOON
War Department Likely to Fix Date For December or Janu- ary-Need of Men to Fill Ma tiOnal Guard.

Washington, Oct. 12.-The advisa- ability of expediting the call for the second increment of the army now is being discussed at the War Depart ment, and it appears likely that the date may be fixed for some time in December or January.
 Mobilization of the first increment of 687,000 men is far enough advanced to show that there will be a big defic- lency for the IT national army divis- ions. More than 250,0OO of the first increment still are to be assembled, but it is evident that there will be available at all the 16 cantonments quarters for an additional regiment, and at some for brigade of two regiments.
 The strength of the new regimental organization is 3,60O men. With a regiment lacking at each cantonment, this alone would mean a shortage of nearly 50,000 men. In addition, there has been authorized a separate divi- sion of negro troops, which means nearly 30,000 men withdrawn from the original number assigned to the 16 cantonments.
 The shortage is due partially to the necessity of taking out of the na- tional army men to fill up national guard divisions. Two complete na- tional army divisions of Southern troops have been absorbed in this way. The remnants of three other Southern national army divisions will be con- solidated to form one division, and the surplus men from other camps will be sent out to make up the miss ing divisions.
 Drafts on the national army force also must be made up to fill up the aviation service, the medical corps and the service battalions needed be- hind the fighting lines. There will be 250,000 men in the last named service alone, and aviation and medical ser vice will take nearly as many more, although not all of them will be taken
 rom the national army.
 Several factors may delay the call ing out of the second increment. Clothing and equipment is being re- ceived only at a rate sufficient to meet the demands of the forces al ready called Railroads have been overburdened with moving the armies and it's necessities without hindering freight shipments vital to the allies.
 Fixing the date of the call for the second increment hinges also upon the careful study being made by Provost Marshal General Crowder and his as- sistants of the results of the plan fol- lowed in the first call.
