GETTING ALL THE NEWS That
accident in the Marshall Field Annex
building Saturday was a good exam
pie of how the Trust Press of Chi
cago does not give readers all the
news and how The Day Book does.
A man fell down fourteen stories of
an elevator shaft to death. But it
happened to happen in a building
that is owned by the owners of a big
department store. So the Trust
Press craWled into a hole and pulled
the hole in after it and didn't make
peep about the accident.
It's poor business to hurt the feel
ings of those who help to make you a
success financially. No advertisers
help The Day Book along. That's
why we can print ALL the news
without cOloring it-and why the
loop papers lay low on lots of live
news.

SOCIETY SLAPPED ON THE
WRlST.-When Mrs. Marshall Field
and five other society women of
Washington were ordered out of
theater for making some remarks
about the performance, society got a
kick in the slats-or, to be more po-
lite, a slap on the wrist.

quest.

SORE THROAT.-CIeanIness is
next to Goodness, they say. And it
is also partly the cause Of sore
throatlessness. There is a regular
epidemic Of sore throat in our city
right now. It is contagious. Try
not, to get it! If you do fall victim,
however, try to keep it to yourself.
Follow the rule of give unto your
neighbOr what you would have him
give unto you" And who wants his
neighbOr to give him a sore cold?

names have been drawn and each reg

number apportioned to it will exemp-

emption will be passed upon and if
he is exempted another will be drawn
to fill the vacancy. The law provides
for local exemption boards in each

will be established on the basis OF one

day at six colleges which are aiding
the government in building up the

week after the first class finishes its
course, the number at the schools be-
