many old residents of Richmond was
the concert at r. r. Lee Camp Soldiers
Home yesterday afternoon on the spa
cious grounds surrounding the home.
at which the famous band of the Forty-
seventh New York regiment played for
the 300 veterans and visitors. among
whom were nineteen women from the
baptist Home. fifteen from the Ennis
copal Home. fifteen from the Confeder-
ate Women's Home. twelve women and
men from the Home for Incura bles
and number from the Methodist and
Presbyterian Homes.
These were taken in cars to the
Old Soldiers Home. and remained
seated in the cars while the band
played. The veterans were grouped on
the lawn. and Mrs. Norman ". Ran
dolph. president of the Richmond chan
ter OF the United Daughters OF the
Confcderacy. was hostess.
or the visitors one woman was
ninety-four years old and another was
ninety. The music OF the regimental
band was unusually inspiring. and was
greatly enjoyed.

DISTRICT BOARD UPHOLDs
FOCAL DRAFT EXAMINERS
Not a Single Claim for Exemption
80 in Division 3 Is Granted
@ on Appeal.
WHOLE LIST is CERTIFIED
Mere Fact That Man Is Engaged In
Farming or in War Industry Does
Not Mean That He Cannn. 30
Replaced.

8 Although overwhelmed with an un-
usual amount of work because of the
desire of drafted men to escape army
service on the ground of being engaged
in occupations necessary to the sue
cessful carrying on of the war and on
account of their, agricultural pursuits.
the District Draft Board for the East
ern District OF Virginia yesterday an
nounced the list Of men in Division g.,
city of Richmond that have applied
Tor exemption. 1t is noteworthy that
all appeals for discharge in this di-
vision were denied by the board.
Many Of the claims for exemption
were altogether without foundation,
this fact. All claims for exemption
on industrial grounds were refused. 1t
has been the opinion of manv drafted
men that the nero fact that they were
engaged in an induatryNthat made gov
erimcnt supplies or were engaged in
farming or other so-called industries
necessary TO the support OF the army
and civilian population would entiilc
them TO exemption.
Such. however. is not true. Only
where man cannot be replaced b,
another or where the man is absolute
ly Indispensable TO the work shat he
is engaged in will bc accepted by the
board as good grounds for exemption.
EXEMPT ONLY THOSE
WHO CANNOT hi: REPLACED
The prorost-marshal-Se general pre-
supposed that the boards would be
swanped with just such claims for
exemption, and II is for that reason
that that Office has ruled that The
district boards should be careful in
examining claims for exemption and
that only those claims be allowed that
are. in the eyes of the boards. support
ed by evidence which shows that the
man is Indispensable in the industry
IN which he ~ engaged or that the
labor of that man cannot be replaced
Too many men have claimed cxemp-
lions simply because they have t1at
privilege. without being able TO show
why they should be exempted. and the
result, has been that the board has
refused TO allow a single claim for
exemption in the third division Of Rich
mond.
The following names were certified
by the District Board for the Eastern
District OF Virginia 10 the local board
for Division No. of Richmond yes

Large Production of Fuel Briquets.

The production of fuel briquets in the
United States in 1915 was 295,l55 net
tons, valued at Sl,445,662, an increase
compared with 1915 of 1888 tons, or
33 per cent in quantity, and $409,946, or
40 per cent, in value. The production
in 1915 was the greatest recorded, ex-
ceeding that of 1914, the previous high
record, by 44,520 tons.
This increase in the production of
fuel briquets in 1916 is attributed by c.
i. Lesher, of the United States geologi-
cal survey, department of the interior,
TO the improvement in trade conditions
arising from the unusual demand for
coal, and to greater general apprecia-
ton of the value of briquets for use as
household fuel During the last two
years the product of many OF the plants
has been so much improved that it
gives off less of the heavy, tarry smoke
that domestic. consumers have found so
Objectionable.

A Mans Notion Of How the Rooms and
Things Should Look.


A young newly married man com.
planned recently that he almost dread.
ed taking a friend home TO dinner be-
cause his wife, every time she expected
company, imag ined 1t was necessary to
scrub the house from garnet to cellar
and polish every bit OF silver on the
sideboard.
1t made him uncomfortable all day
long to think of his wife giving herself
this wholly unnecessary trouble.
"Of course, q man likes to see his
home looking nice when be takes an
old chum into it--and OF course the
chum does too" he said. But I'd be
far happier IL could convince my wife
that a house can look tidy even IL it
hasn't been gone over that very day.
II like the books to look a little dis
orderly. You get the feeling that
they're being read all the time, and
that's what books are for. And like
the music on the piano to be trife
disarranged. 1t looks as II We really
sang the songs. and 1t gives a room
that coy home feeling that fellow
loves. What IL the curtains aren't just
even In every Window Things ought
to look as IL they were touched and
were used and enjoyed. II the sofa
cushions are dented you know some
one has leaned against them. Isn't that
what they're for? But IL they stare at
you In a prim row you're a brave man
IL you dare to put your back against
them-much less your tired head
And when q fellow comes home at
night be usually has a tired headr'-
