URGED NOT TO HIDE
BEHIND PETTICOATS

Washington, May 22.-"Do not hide
behind petticoats or children to avoid
service in the new national army" is
the injunction of Provost Marshal
General Crowder, in an official gride
he has issued to show how questions
put to those who register on June 5
should be answered. The guide ex-
plains that there is no desire by the
government to draft any one who is
the sole support of any man, woman
or child, but points out that unless
the person you have in mind is solely
dependent upon you," no exemption
would be granted.
The registrar will drop permanently
from the list those whose physical de-
fects make unhtness for service OBJ
vious, but all other claims for exemp-
ton will be required to state speci-
fically the character of the work he is
performing in order that the board
may judge if it is such as to warrant
the Government in excusing him from
army duty.

EXTENDING THE LIMITS.

Tue movement Tor the extension of the city 'imits is one that win meet with general approval, for if there was ever city bounded by irregular line. lines apparently drawn for political purposes, this city is bounded by such lines.
 The new city lines work by section lines rather than by property line. and there will he no confusion what ever in the future as to where the clty lines exist.
 It may be said that the new city lines extend too Tar out but then cer- tainly the property owners within tho extended area are willing 10 pay for tine additional advantages they ra ctfve.
 One of the troubles under the pres. ent city line boundary Is that fire pro lection is accorded almost the whole of the area to be taken in. yet the property owners outside the present lines do not pay one cent fer the up keep of the fire departments.
 There will be an extension Of the fire protection made this month to r.. establish the Malvern avenue fire de. partment, and to improve other sta. tons, and certainly the property own. CTS who want this added protection are willing to pay a small sum to- wards the support of the city govern ment
