Washington. June 11.-Twenty-six
states and the District OF Columbia,
having all told slightly more than so
per cent Of the country's population,
had sent in complete reports OF their
military registrations OF 4.71G,7SG
young men for war service.
For the territory reporting the cen
sus estimate was 5.372,59G eligiblcs.
and on the basis OF the returns II was
calculated the grand total Of registra-
rtion probably would be a little more
than 100000 In place of the 10.2Ci.-

totalled 2.5Os.G24.
Officials pointed out that the census
figures were intended only as approx.

not be taken as indicating evasion OF
the draft II was also pointed out that
between 100000 and 100000 men In
cluded in the estimates already are
members OF the armed forces OF the
nation and therefore did not register.
Many OF the states which previously
reported complete returns are sending
supplemental reports adding to their
totals. Delay In registering. especial.

totals may delay n final tabulation for

BOYS LOCKED IN BOX CAR
Tramp Resented Youths Refusal to
Divide School Lunch and Took
Revenge on Them.

East st. Louis, Ill.-Theodore Jen
nings, aged nine years, and his COM
panion, Carl Ferguson, aged seven,
were found nearly starved to death In
a box car here when car inspectors
heard their groans. The lads, both
of whom attended school in Rector,
Ark, declared they had been locked
in the car by tyamp who became
angry at them when they refused to
divide their school lunch. They were
without a bite to eat or drink during
the 60 hours of their Imprisonment
and were in semi-conscious condition
when found.
The boys, according to their story,
made no outcry after they were locked
in the car, believing that the tramp
would release them. When the train
began to move they screamed and be-
gan to pound on the door. They did
this until their strength gave out.
Whenever the train stopped, they re-
sumed their effort to secure liberty but
failed until the car had reached its
destination.

BUSTLE IN FROM

New YOrk.-France puts hustle in

Two men, one Of this continent and

asserted that no woman designer had
a part in its creation or development.

COAST LINE OF BELGIUM
Nearly All Of II, In Peace Time, Given
Over to Seaside and Rest
Resorts.

Perhaps In no other war In modern
history have few miles counted for
as much in the scales of victory as In
the present contest In west Flanders,
says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society. The distance
which separates the allied forces from
full control of the coast of Belgium
Is only thirty miles. Possession Of
these thirty miles of coast line would
not only wipe out the German subma-
rine bases In Belgium, but it would
also give the allies new front upon
which to attack in an effort to drive
the enemy out of Belgium and north
ern Europe. Possession of this coast,
therefore, would be a double victory to
the allies. solely hampering the enc
my's submarine operations, and at the
same time affording an opportunity to
roll up his right flank on land.
Nowhere else may be found a more
striking contrast between peace and
war than that afforded by the Belgian
coast in 1913 and 1917. Practically
the entire coast line in normal times
is given up to the pleasures of the sea-
side cities and rest resorts. La Panne,

KEPT HER CHILD UNBURIED

Twenty Years.

Greenville, Tenn.-The strange dis.
posal made of the body of Estelle Hill,
a nine-year-old girl of this place, who
died 20 years ago, has been brought
to light by the recent death Of the
mother.
The curly-haired child. who was the
idol of her mother, died of Group in
1897. The mother, brOken-hearted,
could not bear the idea of having the
body of the little girl buried and put
forever beyond her mortal vision. She
therefore procured an air-tight metal
casket, with glass covering, and In
this, stored in an upper room of the
home, the body of the little girl lay
where II could be visited daily by the
inconsolable mother.
Gradually weakening under the
strain, and with her hair all turned
to silvery gray, the mother died. Then
followed orders, revealed in a search
of papers, to remove the casket from
its long resting place in the Hill home
to the Greenwood cemetery, In Knox.

No Return to FulIness.
GRAY HAIR is NOW STYLISH
SiIvery Locks Do Much to Soften
Whole Facial Expression, Bring
ing Tone to Cheeks and Eyes.

Gray hair has become the style, Just
why II should be connected with age is
something that cannot be answered.
Anyone who is twenty-one years old or
more is likely to have gray hair. Ger
tainly q girl twenty-one years old need
not hide her gray hairs thinking they
signify age.
One excellent argument in favor of
the present fashion for this color or
tresses is that gray hair does much to
make O woman look kindlier and sweet
er and more beautiful. With the
changing of the hair the whole face
softens in expression. This Is partly
due to the fact that gray has queer
little way of bringing out the pink in
your cheeks and bringing out the dark
er color in your eyes.

WOMEN WORK FOR RAILROADS
Five Thousand Female Employees NOW
With Pennsylvania Lines, Filling
Positions Vacated by Males.

That the women of the country are
rallying TO the needs of their coun-
try is shown by statement issued by
the general manager of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at Philadelphia. The
statement said that there are now EN-
ployed on the lines east of Pittsburgh
5000 women, as against 1915 on June
/. This means that more than 3,Ooo
have volunteered their services since
the outbreak of war. The statement
also said that of all the employees on
the east-of- Pittsburgh lines, per cent
were women.
The new recruits are not confined
to clean-office jobs, by any means.
With the single exception that none
of them is employed in actually run
ming trains, they hold almost every
variety of position known on the road.
There are women train dispatchers,
section hands, tower operators, station
cleaners, station agents, machinists,
