NEARLY ALL WHITE
MEN CALLED SEPT 10
EXCLUSION OF NEGROES FROM
40 PER CENT. CONTINGENT
DRAWS HEAVILY ON LIST.

Virtually every white man in Geor-
gia who has been certified for service
In the national army up to September
10, except those few whose order
numbers are at the extreme end of
the lists, will be included in the con-
tingents that will begin movements
to Camp Gordon tomorrow.
This became apparent following
the exchange of kilograms between
Acting Adjutant General M. J. Dan
lei and Provost Marshal General
Crowder gave instructions to send on
ly white men in the 40 per cent. of
the net quota to be started to the
camp September 10, and to draw
from the boards having larger per
cent. of white men than negroes to
complete the allotments of boards
where it is impossible to secure all
white men in the 40 per cent to, be
ordered out.
Some boards, in localities where
the percentage of whites run high,
consequently will be called on for
upwards of so per cent. of the net
quota. No men who have not already
been summoned for the physical ex-
animation will be summoned. it was
positively stated.
The adjutant generals Office stat
ed that this ruling will be strictly
adhered to; that Georgia's 40 per
cent. will be secured on time and
that there will be no negroes. APP
proXimately 1884 white men will be
summoned from the state at large.
The second 40 per cent. to be call
ed October 3, will be composed en-
tirely of negroes, and the remaining
Is per cent will be composed of the
remaining available white and ne
groes, the two races to be sent for
ward on separate days.
General Crowder's Geographic or
ders to make up the 40 per cent. ex-
clusively of white men stated that
ito compensate for local boards in
which the proportion of negroes so
far predominates as to prevent the
sending of 40 per cent of quotas,
additional white men must be sent
from other boards to complete the
40 per cent of the quota for the en-
tire state on scheduled dates of en-
trainment."
Figures compiled by the adjutant
generals office show that in many
south Georgia counties, as in Terrell,
the percentage of negroes runs very
high, in some instances amounting to
80 per cent. of the net quota. The
proportion of negroes in many coun-
ties runs above so per cent. Although
the figures are not complete it is be-
lieved that in many North Georgia
counties white men predominant in
about the same ratio.
Captain Joel Mallet, of the adiu-
tant generals office, believes that
consequently every available white
man will be ordered out in the first
40 per cent. pointing out that al
ready 5 per cent. of the white men
have gone forward, and that the av7
erages undoubtedly will show that
the state of Georgia can not possibly
certify more than as per cent. white
men and doubtless not that many

GIVES TIPS OF WAY
TO BEAT JACK FROST
WATCH FORECASTS AND NOT
THE MOON WHEN NIPPING
ATTACK is IMMINENT.

Don't watch the moon for signs
of the first frost; watch the weather
bureau" This is the substance of a
letter sent out by the United States
department of agriculture calling at
tention to frost warnings sent out by
that department. Frosts cannot be
forecast many days in advance. The
bureau does, however, issue advisory
warnings of frost from twenty-four
to forty-eight hours in advance of its
expected occurrence. These forecasts
are telegraphed to practically every
section of the country.
Several ways of forestalling the
surprise attacks of Jack Frost are de-
scribed. First, the specialists suggest
protective coverings should be made
ready. Vegetables cannot scamper to
to cover, but the gardener can cover
the vegetables and perhaps save a
winters supply in a short time if he
IS prepared, during which time imma-
ture vegetables that have been pro-
tected will continue to grow or ripen.
When frost is imminent and pro-
lection is neither possible nor prac-
tlcable vegetables likely to be iniur-
ed should be gathered and canned,
dried, picked, preserved or stored.
Those that cannot be saved from ex-
posture to freezing should, if possible.
be gathered before thawing takes
place. In the case of potatoes, espe-
cially sweet potatoes. all vines should

PHYSICIANS GET GERM
OF INFANTTLE PARALYSIS
Found and Isolated After Scientific
Research of a Year. Now Look
ing For Permanent Cure.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The germ
OF lnfantile paralysis has been defin-
itely found and isolated at the jew
ish hospital after a scientific research
of year. Announcement has been
made that the next step will be dis
covery of cure. 1t is believed that
the cure will be found within a short
time.
Philadelphia physicians, Doctors
Myer Solis-Cohen and Geo. R. Reist
and Prof. John A. Kolmer of the I'm
iversity of Pennsylvania, are respon-
sible for the isolation of the germ.
The research work was supported by
a fund established for that purpose
by Julius Mastbaum.
The germ was successfully isolated
by scientists of the Rockefeller in
stitute in 1913. The method was so
complicated, however, that it could
not be established accurately. The
method of the local institution is
comparatively simple and will be an
nounced to the medical profession.

The JEWISH new
YEAR BEGAN SUNDAY
OBSERVANCE is MARKED BY
REPETITION OF OLD CUSTOMS
BLOWING THE RAMS HORN.

Rosh Hashona, the Jewish New
Year, was observed Sunday by those
of Jewish faith throughout the world
and the Jews of Dawson participated
in the annual festivities in recogniz-
ing the occasion, which to them is
both religious and civil and has a
distinct meaning to review the deeds
of past years and resolve that the
new one will meet with concerted eff
forts to make it better than any pre-
vious one.
Last year is 5677 and the new year
Is 5678, according to the Jewish
chronology, which reckons the time
from the creation of the world. The
festivities began at sunset on Sunday
and continued for two days, ending
at $3.50 on Tuesday morning. The
Jewish calendar is calculated by the
moon and not according to the solar
system. That the day begins with
sunset is supported by Biblical tradi-
tons where the night is mentioned
before day.
Traditional Rules.
The traditional and ritual rules of
the Hebrew church were observed
and the services were similar to those
that for thousands of years have been
held by the Jews. Their festivities
are ancient and quaint in their be-
liefs. The ceremonies include midie-
val and ancient prayers, elaborate

Many vegetables, such as cabbage
and turnips, are not harmed by or

lection. In fact, such root vegetables
as carrots, parsnips and satisfy are

marily left in the ground until need

music and the reading of verses from
the scriptures. The ancient custom
of blowing a trumpet or rams horn
at the beginning of the new year as
mentioned in the Bible is still adher-
ed to by the Jews and began their
ceremonies in their churches on Sun
day evening.

the same cry that came up from the
