Auto Plates Will Be Sent
Out Early Monday Morning

Secretary of State John E. Bunker
stated late Sunday that the missing
shipment of Maine automobile plates,
which had been lost somewhere be-
tween st. Louis, No, and Augusta,
Me, for over three weeks, had been
located saturda xifning at Portland
and arrived h@H46nday.
The plates were ordered last Au
gust and the manufacturers agreed to
to have them here on or before Dec
Is last. They. were shipped from ST.
Louis on Dec. 1, as through freight,
and should have been here in five days,
that being the usual time for a through
cars trip. But. owing to the freight
embargo which tied up many of the
roads, they were delayed here and
there, with the result that not even
the railroads or the shippers could get
any trace until Dec. 20, when they were
located in Buffalo, n. Y. Then they
were again found sidetracked at East
Deerfield, Mass, and finally reached
Portland.
The entire force Of the secretary of
States department will be in the Of
fee bright and early this Nonday-New
Year's-morning and the plates will be
sent out by parcel post and express, to
the hundreds of anxious, a. impatient
automobile owners who their cars
through snow drifts and other small
items.
1t had been planned by the secre-
tary of State to have the plates all
ready to be shipped from his office on
the morning Of Friday, Dec. %, so
that the owners could attach them to
their machines on New Years morn
lns-but through no fault Of the de-
partment that was impossible.
Inc certificates of registration and
the operator licenses, which have been
applied for in advance for the season

THINKS WOMEN
COULD BUILD
BATTLESHIP

by Associated Press to The Bannerl
London, May 5--The head of big
Glasgow shipbuilding firm, speaking
at the opening of the Exhibition OF
Women's War Work here this week,
paid a warm tribute to the excel
lent results obtained in his business
from "dilution" with women labor
"Given two more years of war" he
said, 81 would undertake to build a
battleship from keel TO aerial in all
its complex detail entirely with wo-
man labor.
THE idea is neither fantastic nor
visionary. The woman who has train
ed for trapeze can find her vocation
at the giddy heights of a Scotch crane
and the girl who is proficient at dane
ing is well equipped for undertaking
work involving movement OF posi-.
tion.
There are some operations in the
smiths and press shops in which the
aptitude OF women for correct apprec-
iation oil time intervals shows to great
advantage. In the training OF women,
the results obtained from their labor
and the shortness of time in which
they arrive at proficiency have eX-
ceeded all expectations"

PLANS FOR
DRAF I ARE
OUTLINED

[By Associated Press to The Banner1
Columbus, May Gov Cox today
announced his plan for conscription in
Ohio. 1t will differ from the govern
ment plan in operation of state ma
chinery, this difference being author
lied.
In the governors statement, he
urged that the term called TO the
colors" instead Of "conscription" be
used and announced that he will is
sue a proclamation making the day
holiday calling for suspension of
business and closing the schools and
urging that citizens generally "ac-
company the young heroes of military
age to the places of registration as a
mark of affection the community
bears for those who are responding to
their country's call"
The governors plan of conscription
will be followed which requires
three distinct operations: first, the
census or registration; second, the
draft or selection of men from those
registered; and third, the medical ex-
animation.
The registration will be entirely in
the hands of county boards of cleo
tion. Regular election precincts will
be open.
In carrying out the second and
third stages, the governors plan is to
request common pleas judges to rec
ommend two men of opposite politics
of conspicuous standing as members
of the county board. To this board
will be added third member who
will be recommended by the head of
the medical division.
Every man within the specified age
for conscription must register. Per-
sons who are absent from home must
mail registration cards and those too
i'll to register must send some per-
son to the board for registration in
structions, Each age to be registered
will comprise about per cent of the
population. For instance, all men be-
tween 10 and 25 years of age, inclus-
i've will enroll about I per cent Of the
population of the precinct.
After registration the cards will be
turned over to the board for draft or
selection Cards will be drawn from
a wheel or box until few more than
the required number from each county
is secured, The medical examination
Of those selected then will be con-
Quoted. 1t was announced that the
regulation war medical examination
will not be enforced and that only
major defects will exempt the men
from service.
