tirely completed in the second district, but Chairman John w. Allen hopes to be able to mail letters to the men included in the first draft by the lat ter part of the present week. If this is done, it is probable that the sec ond board will begin it's examinations in city hall early next week.
 Chairman Allen states that his quota is 239 men and to secure this number he expects it will be nece ssary to summon at least 1000 eligibles. The plan in this district is to sum- mon about 800 men for each day until the complete quota is filled. The board is also considering the advis- ability of summoning men at differ ent hours so that a big crowd of men will not have to lose time and wait around the exemption chambers until their turn for examination.
 By authority of President Wilson. Governor Holcomb yesterday desig- hated all members of local exemption boards in the state to administer oaths necessary in the execution of the selective service law. This will make it possible for members of the local boards to swear in their assis- tant examining physicians and clerks

FEMALE RECRUIT IN
 TOWN FARM ARMY
Mabel King of Norwich Signs
 for Agricultural Brigade

Mabel King of Norwich wreathed in smiles and attired in garments ap- propriate to the June bride, except that she carried fur coat on her arm, was the unusual thing in the police court this morning. She was charged with being drunk and was alleged to be Lorelei, who tempted Emanuel Andrews, a colored Portu- gese, who was before the court on the charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace. Mabel said that she lived no place now, so per haps was carrying her fur garment with the idea of keeping it until next winter. According to witnesses the woman was drunk on Main street last night when she met the colOred man. He testified that she asked him to buy her a drink and he was just piloting her into Main street saloon, where women are not accommodated, when the arm of the law in the per son of Policeman F. J. Moore de- scended upon them. The man was discharged but the woman was sen fenced to either 30 days in jail or at the town farm, but the country life appealed to Mabel and soon after court she was whisked away to the farm.
 Herbert Bernhardt, before the court on the charge of violating the law concerning motor vehicles. was ordered to pay the costs. He was said to have been driving 8 motorcycle with side car attached, requiring a motor vehicle license, under a motorcycle registration.
 Several drunks were advised to take the pledge and allowed to go.

Each blank returned to this office tells a story of human interest. In some cases the returns show that two. three and even four members of one family have offered their services to "Uncle Sam.'' This fact augurs well for the patriotism that New Britain's boys are showing. It also portrays the sacrifice that New Britain moth CTS are making to aid in the great struggle for democracy.
 The campaign which the Herald is waging serves for a two-fold purpose. First, it will determine eventually the "honor roll' of all local men who have enlisted in the military. Second. it will prove definitely whether the number of enlistments as credited to this city, is correct.

 To secure it's quota of 513 men for the new American army, the New Britain draft boards will at first summon 1,75O men for examination
 The quota for the first draft district is PA men, and the second district must furnish 239. Albert F.

lie Market If 1t Is wanted.
 Following routine meeting of the New Britain Farm committee in Mayor Quigley's office last night the New Britain Food committee held an important meeting at which many pertinent topics came up for discus sion, chief among which was the probable crop production of the city and the possibility of canning and drying the produce to avoid all waste. George M. Landers, chairman of the state food committee, through H. s. Tallard, offered the committee his property at the corner of Clark and Winter streets for us as a public mar ket place if it is desired
 It was also decided to invite Prof. Smith, on economist and food con- servation expert to address the next meeting of tn committee to explain practical means for conserving the food crop. The coal and crop cOm- mittees reported progress and were instructed to continue their research and make a full report to the State Council of Defense at once. May or Quigley, F. H. Afford, w. H. Hall and H. S. Tallard were instructed to visit Storrs Agricultural college to examine the method of drying fruits and vege- tables there.
 The committee will meet again next Wednesday evening when some inn portant reports and recommendations particularly relative to the coal and food supply of New Britain, will be made.

debate. The speeches, they say, did not appreciably modify the hostility ot a large section of the members of the house, including strong labor element. MT. Hendersons patriotism is not impunged, but the fact that he did not repudiate willingness to meet German delegates at Stockholm leaves the attitude of the critics much as be- fore. MT. Henderson, as secretary of the labor party, convened a specias party conference for August 10 when, presumably, the extent of the reported cleavage among labor members on this question will be revealed.

LIFE AT CAMP DEVON
New Britain Fireman Describes Ac- tivities at Cantonment for New England's Selective Draft Army.

George Sparmer of Engine Con-
 pany No 3, the fireman selected to
 represent New Britain at Camp Devon
 at Aver, Mass, is visiting here. He
 has been granted a short furlough
 and will return to his post tomorrow
 His report of the new emp life is
 quite interesting. Troops are already
 stationed at the camp for general
 utility work. The fire department at
 the camp is called upon continually
 for service and on last Monday alone
 as many as 1 5 fires were discovered.
 This, however, is not due to negli-
 gence on the part of the authorities
 or the fire fighters as would seem to
 the causual observer. The chief pur-
 pose of the fire department at the
 camp, explains MT. Sparmer, is to
 prepare a path for the engineers who
 are developing the extensive tracts of
 land for miles about the camp which is now almost entirely brushwood and forest. Each morning men set fire to acres of the brush which must be cleaned away. These set fires burn until nightfall. The danger
 comes when smouldering embers | reach the roots of some larger trees and these trees catch fire. When the large trees are on fire then the frmen are needed to prevent a forest fire. Thus far the fire department has progressed well in its work of stem 1 ming the flood of fires. There are 27 l firemen in camp. During the night 1 guard duty is performed by the fire i men who watch for the outbreak of fires from the top of a tower with l large field glasses. When smoke or | q ,ioI toI ho11 o1or is nd l the department rushes off in its 1 trucks to the scene of the blaze after l the fashion of any city's fire depart ment. Since MT. Sparmer has been at l the camp there has been 62 bell alarms

Blanks returned to the Herald office show that New Britain men have enlisted in other cities, even going to Canada to volunteer for service in the Canadian army Whether these enlistments were ac- credited to New Britain is unknown. The list when completed will tell the true story.

 If you have a son or kinsman. or know someone in any branch of the service, fill out the above blank and return it personally or mail it to the Editor of the Herald. Do 1t now"

AS YEARS ON JOB
John M. Ryan Has Been at Russell x
 Erwin Factory for Almost a Half

Century.
 On July 31 John M. Ryan of Win ter street rounded out AS years Of consecutive employment at the Rus sell & Erwin shop of the American Hardware corporation. MT. Ryan en- tered the concern when young man as a common laborer, but by his per sistence and ability won for himself numerous promotions until today he is foreman of the key and check rooms and is regarded as most eff cient and faithful employe. He has also served as chief of the factory fire department and is an official of the Mutual Benefit association.
 It is said of MT. Ryan that during his entire 4S years at this factory, al- though he has been away on many occasions, never once when he was gone to his work has he been late, either in the morning or afternoon.
