New Method Of waterprooHnq.

A French scientist has recently rec
commended a comparatively simple for
mula for w~aterproofing shoes and
clothing. 1t is a solution of paraffin
and gasoline, the proportion being ap-
proximately one avoirdupols ounce Of
parafin to one quart Of gasoline. For
shoes 1t can be applied warm, with q
brush, while clothes can be dipped into
1t cold. The solution tends to preserve
the softness and color Of the material.
Uniforms can be treated with 1t with
out removing the buttons or insignia.

washington, July 21.-The drawing
for the big United States army was
not completed until early Saturday
morning. The drawing began at 9:45
Friday morning, and continued
throughout the day and night. Alto
gether 1O,5OO numbers were drawn
from the big fish bowl. 1t was officially
stated that the first 1000 numbers
drawn represented more than 1,OOO,-
OOO men, and 1t Is not considered
probable that men representing any
number drawn after the first 1000
Will be called before any exemption
board for the first army. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary Of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees /;
Maj. Gen. Tasker HI. Bliss acting
chief Of staff Of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army and Major General Mccain,
%adjutant general of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only a small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above a
few thousand affect r%egistrants. Of
the 1857 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1876, and
the average Is about 5000. AS the
drawing proceeded, 1877 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t vas 126, placing 1857 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 157th ia
order Of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each ease
represents the order in which the sec
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given In each line. Beginning
