TO SERVE IN ARMY
DRAFT QUOTA OF 6s7, 900 RE-
QUIRED 2,75O,OOO EXAMINA-
TIONS. RATIO OF S TO 1.

Preliminary reports received by
Brig. Gen. E. H. Crowder, provost
marshal general, are to the effect
that local draft exemption boards
throughout the country have had to
examine approximately 2,75O,000|
registered men in order to secure the
first draft quota of $4,000.
1t is now estimated that the maxi
mum number of men the war depart
ment can hope to get for military
service out of the 100000 men who
registered is between 100000 and
100000 men.
Average Acceptance One in Four.
In most of the cities the boards
have been required to examine four
men in order to get one for the ma
tional army, and in the industrial cen
tiers the ratio has been five to one.
This is due in part to exemptions for
industrial reasons and to the large
number of aliens.
The government has appealed
every case of exemption granted by
the local boards on the grounds of
dependency, and the decisions of the
district appeal boards have been I'M
favorably to exemption in approx
mately one-third of the cases.
Second Registration May Be Called.
In some sections, the local boards
reported only one-third of the men
called in the first drawing were not
found physically fit, but higher stand
ards in great many places have
brought the proportion of the ply
sically deficient down to an average
of rs per cent.
Gen Crowder's estimates of ex-
emptions compared with total regis
tration show another registration
might be necessary to provide for
third draft call.

THE GROSBEAK HAS BECOME
KNOWN AS POTATO-BUC BIRD

The beautiful rose-breasted gros-
beak has come to have so prosaic a
name as "the potato-bug bird" be-
cause of its fondness for that de-
stroying insect. A single pair of gros-
beaks with their young were known
to clean a quarter-acre potato patch
completely of the pest. The gros-
beak's value to the agr1culturists has
become so we'll known that it is pro-
tected by law in nearly every state.

HELEN GOULD SHEPARD
WANTS MORE CHILDREN
PLEASED WITH FIRST CHOICE
is NOW ANXIOUS TO IN
CREASE FAMILY TO FOUR.

Mrs. Helen Gould Shepard, heiress
to many millions of the wealth left
by her father, Jay Gould, is firmly
convinced that environment and ed
ucation are stronger than heredity,
and to her adopted son, John Finley
Shepard, she intends to present two
sisters and a brother, all taken from
barious institutions without thought
as to their parentage or pedigree. Ii
Mrs. Shepard's plans develop as she
hopes, the three children will become
legally her own before the year is
out.
From the day of her marriage, the
former Helen Gould, then in middle
age, had been determined to have a
family of her own. She has always
adored children and her big home
near Tarrytown, N. Y, usually held
from one to a dozen nieces and ne
phews. But these were not her own
nor permanent fixtures in her home,
and she desired children to bring up
exactly in the way the we'll born chill
dren of her friends were brought up.
First Experiment a Success.
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Shepard held
any hard and fast ideas as to what
they desired in the child of their
adoption, but they did want a heal
thy, happy youngster, showing evil
dences of being a real boy. At least
dozen youngsters were sent to the
Shepard home, where they were
studied with the utmost care.
The big-eyed, sturdy boy who now
bears the name of John Finley Shep-
ard was finally chosen from the dozen
and he was taken into the Gould
household on years probation. At
the end of that time he had 'made
good" and was formally adopted.
Must Have Brothers and Sisters.
Then the eyes of Mr. and Mrs.
Shepard were opened to the fact that
an only child is liable to be spoiled,
and they were determined that John
Finley Shepard must have fair deal.
So they decided to adopt sister for
their little boy, and, after a prolong-
ed search, an orphan was found who
had spent all of her short life in an
institution. She was given her place
in the Shepard home, sharing hOnors
with John, and now that the period
of probation has almost expired, the
little girls legal adoption is likely to
come at any time.
Not Satisfied With Two.
The Shepards have just received
another pair, a boy and girl, into
their household-on probation. As
nearly as can be estimated there is
one years difference between the
four children. The second girl is not
pretty but she has possibilities and
she is very bright. In fact, all four
children have remarkable good men,
talities and sturdy constitutions.
The future of the Shepard children
will be bound up in the futures of
the other Gould boys and girls. They
will be as much a part of the family
as the children of Lady Decies or
Mrs. Anthony Drexel. Their new
mother will see that no Sights are
ever mt 11Dou them

IARLES is WINNER in WESTY HOGAN T
COUNTY QUIET ON
EVE OF PRIMARY
Most of Republican Candi-
dates Will Win Places
Without Opposition

The last Saturday before the Fall
primaries, which will be held next
Wednesday, passed quietly. There
was little stirring throughout the
county. although city candidates were
in evidence everywhere. Indications
are so strong for big Republican
victory in November that the Demo-
Gratis are putting up very little figh
for county offices and in. most cases
the Republican nominations will be
made without contest. For example,
there is no question about the nomi-
nation of Charles E. Pass for pro-
thonotary or the denomination of
Henry w. Cough, as county con-
troller. Mr.. Pass, as poor director,
made a good record years ago. He
is well known from his former long
employment with the Foundry and
Machine Works, which took him to
all parts of the county. He is also
prominent as q public speaker. Mr..
Cough has been county controller
ever since he place was created, hav-
ing been advanced from the city con-
WUlCn ne ndu nGtu IOT
years on account of his ability as an
accountant.
The nomination of j. D. Pannell,
by the Democrats, and Thomas w.
Harper, by the Socialists, for pro-
thonotary, are without opposition,
but neither party Is strong enough
to make them serious obstacles to
Republican success. William f. Bur-
goon, veteran of many campaigns, is
to have the Democratic nomination
for controller and to John 8. Dor
wart goes the empty honor of the
Socialist nomination for that Of
flee.
The contest for the coronership in
the Republican ranks is brisker in
the city than in the county, where
friends of Jacob Eckinger are pre-
dieting a walk-away for him. Alder
man Hilton is his opponent and it
is said has been confining his ac-
tivities largely to certain parts of
the city.
The school board contest promises
to be lively, with w. f. Shreadley
we'll up toward the front on the Re-
publican side, and Edward Moeslein
apparently far ahead of most of his
opponents on the Democratic side.
George A. Herring, Democratic can
didate, is also counting upon an un-
opposed nomination on the Social
list ticket.
