l. Victim of the Hail Storm.

Carl Bair, aged II, the son Of Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Bair, HagerstoWn
Md, gave the family fright last week.
They had left young Bair in his room
on the second floor, when the heard
noise on the porch. They ran out and
found him climbing around on the
grape arbor, which is very delicate.
They at once tried to get him down,
but owing to his demented mind at
the present time, had some difficulty.
Finally they succeeded.
Young Bair has been suffering with
acute mengitis since the June hail
storm. He was working for a fish
market, when the hail broke over the
city and was delivering fish. When
passing a door some ladies called to
him and asked him to come in with
them as TO men we're present and they
were terribly scared While in the
house the women started to cry and a
few tainted. This scared young Bair
and with the great hail storm helped
He started to run home and got there

He was taken to the hospital where
he received treatment for five weeks.
AS he did not improve he was then
taken to Patapsco Manor, Ellicott
City, where he stayed for four weeks.
His condition did not improve there
and was taken back home last week.
He will not let his father get out of
his sight, and always asks for his two
brothers.

Get Away With $95.

Pickpockets took note book con-
tanning $95 from Mr.. Adam Rupert,
a farmer, near this city, as he board
ed the train at Pen Mar to come home
from the annual reunion of the Knights
of Columbus on August 16. Mr.. Rup-
pert, wife AMI son were standing on
the platform and no doubt the pick
pockets spotted him as their victim,
and as he attempted to board the train
one of them rushed ahead Of him and
blocked the way to talk to the con-
ductor, and at that time his pal behind
showed against him and took the note
book containing the money from his
hip pocket and got away. The one
standing on the setps of the coach
kept the passengers back, blocking the
way for about two minutes, until he
had accomplished his purpose and
then moved. Let everyone that visits
Pen Mar be on the lookout for these
criminals. Mr.. Rupert reported the
loss to the conductor who telegraphed
back to Pen Mar for the detectives to
look out for some HagerstoWn bunch,
who were under suspicion. Mr.. Rup-
pert has not received the slightest in-
formation from the railroad as to any
clue of the guilty parties.

All Married Men May Be Exempted.

Washington, August 1S.- Renewed
discussion OF the status of married
men under the selective service law
has been aroused by publication OF
President Wilson's letter to Senator
Weeks, dealing with this and other
subjects. In many quarters the Presl-
dents statement that he had no doubt
Senator Weeks point as to the eX-
emption of married men was we'll
taken was interpreted as an indication
that he approved exemption of any
man of family who had not married
merely to escape military duty.
The President has full power to dl-
rect that the regulations governing Sc
lection be amended to this effect. A
proposal specifically to exempt all
married men was made when the bill
was in the Senate. An amendment
to that effect by Senator Smith, OF
Georgia, being lost by a wide margin.
This, fact, together with the regulation
later promulgated by the President
making exemption possible only in
case of actual dependency, are taken
as indications that general exemption
for married men as a class will be
given now.

Transfer for Mariners.

Additional interpretations OF the
regulations, issued today by General
Crowder, provide that Great Lakes
mariners may have their places OF
examination by local boards trans
ferred to any one of a number Of
specified lake ports.
In cautioning local boards today
against attempting to fill quotas by
selecting an inequalable number OF
men who have waived exemption and
arr therefore practically volunteers
General Crowder said that the great
est care must be exercised in sending
forward the last 10 per cent. of any
quota.
The last 10 per cent" he said,
must be selected with great care to
be sure that no one in the whole
Quota is sent for military duty while
a selected person with an earlier ord
er of obligation for military serHeezls
allowed to remain at home"

men who fail to report for service
VIII be classed and punished as de-
sert@ro Tere sent to United States dis

Provost Marshal General CrOWder
has ruled that persons who neglect
to appear for examination will be ac-
cepted automatically, and that the
privilege of claiming exemption will
be denied 1t was to help carry this
policy into effect that the Attorney
General acted.
