Here's a suggestion for out of town
folks who want TO see MY Honolulu
Girl" and hear the real Hawaiian troop
sing and play: Come in for the first
show tonight. There will be more than
n crowd at the second show, and If
you are in for the first performance,
you will have more time to make street
car connections. Curtain rises at 7:15
and 900 sharp. OLD STAGER.

If anybody thinks The show business
is all play, they can get disillusioned
by staying at the Hipp few minutes
after the show. Thu girls all say that

Lloyd Layman and his brother, E. E.
LaAman, have gone into the coal
business and are rapidly building up
an extensive trade. Three mines are
owned by the boys ard some others
will be purchased very soon. The
mines which are being worked at pres.
ent are not located on any railroad
and the coal must be hauled some
distance which cuts down the profits
somewhat, but 1t is expected very
soon to take in more capital, organize

EXEMPTION BOARD
REVISING REGISTRANTS' CARDS
FOR DRAFT-PLACING THEM
INTO CLASSES.

The Lake county exemption board
is in session today, L. G. Atherton,
J. A. Johnson and Rev. j. Z. Booth,
of Ramona, acting. The purpose of
the new undertaking is to register
and report to the provost marshal
general the classifications of the men
already registered in the selective
draft and who have not been called
nor exempted, in conformity with the
governments new arrangement of
the names into classifications.
The board first goes through the
cards of registration and mark the
different occupations of the regis
trants. These are then sorted and
distracted on sheets of reports and
sent in. The board has no discrim-
mating powers in the matter, the
work being wholly clerical. 1t is
supposed that the central offices will
arrange the classes according to the
situations and occupations of the reg
istrants, and designate the classes
which are to be called, and the or
der of their call.
A member of the board said today
that there would probably be cards
sent to each n of the remaining reg
istrants for them to fill out with fur
Their information of their status. 1t
is further said that it is probable that
the provost marshal's office will
probably notify each man when to
appear before the local board, when
his class is called, and that the exam
nation will be almost wholly a phys
ical one.
The local board, on Gov. Norbeck's
recommendation, is requesting volun-
teers with clerical ability to volun-
teer to assist them at such odd times
as they can or will spare in the prep
a~ration of the reports which they are
now making. They have 1000
names and cards to consider, and ii
is proving no light task for them to
do wholly by themselves.

when men Meet MEN
GRUB AND FUEL THE TOPIC
MOST ABSORBING-SNOW
HABITS CONDEMNED.

AS a meeting of the Merchants as
ISOLATION the gathering in their
rooms last night was a frost or fog
at Least anything but a meeting
for the betterment' of the individual
merchants. But as an index of opin-
ion of public affair." IL amounted to
as much good, perhaps as would the
real, unadulterated, formal meeting.
Due to the stress of the times and
the lure of other attractions there
was a small half-dozen of the men
met last night. The session was not
formally opened. Discussion was
freely engaged in, on almost any sub
ject but those Of merchandising,
credits or kindred abstract specula-
lions. There was the usual amount
of philandering about among the
topics of the day. Sidewalks and
their care were discussed and exam
pies and methods of cities from
C~hristiania. Norway, to New Orleans
and Madison received its special
attention. 1t was generally conceded
by the tired business men that there
should be some city supervision of
the walks, with a special view to
keeping the snow shoveled in winter
to the aforesaid tired business men
this frequently recurring duty in
winter becomes mighty onerous. A
method of using a city pillow was sug-
gested. And in whatever way it
would be done they were of the opin-
ion that they would rather pay it in
increased taxes than to do the work
themselves.
All present smiled beatifically in
the calm satisfaction of having their
winters coal in the bins. Coal deal
ers in their hands would have a poor
show, though, because of the narrow
margin between the prices of hard
and soft Goals, and, like the fellow
who lost at poker, there was some
thing wrong somewhere. The large
daily papers which early in the sea-
son told of the plentiful supplies of
coal in storage available, and the
probable low prices we're said to have
more to do with the situation of To-
cal shortage than they should have.
The dealers used every effort to have
consumers put in their supplies,
but in the face of the printed pub
licity, they could not make their Gus
toners believe it.
Sweet "reminiscences of ~gastronom-
ic successes in restaurants of large
cities were recounted. Wonderful
feeds and their dispensaries were
discussed lovingly, and recalled with
affection. They swallowed hard and
often in realization of the times they
had had. This brought up the sub
ject of home cooking, and the savings
effected by the frugal housewife.
One told of buying bran to save on
the use of white flour. 1t developed
that this material, bought in the
packages at the retail stores, costs
$3.50 a hundredweight, or $3.50 a
ton. Flour is about $3.50 a hundred
weight. Other wheat saving" de-
vices cost in proportion, being far
above the price of the article they
wished to saw This evoked the con-
lecture that the man living on a linn
tied income would save by buying the
cheaper food, and as long as white
flour was the cheapest food, the poor
man would use it to make his slen-
der income reach as far as he could.

WIVES DEBARRED
NAVAL OFFICERS AND MEN IN
EUROPEAN WATERS DE-
MED COMRADESHIP.

Base American Flotilla in British
Waters, Nov. 13.-An order to Amer
lean naval officers and men not to
bring their wives from the United
States has just been issued by the
commanding officer of the United
States destroyer flotillas operating in
European waters. 1t reads:
The force commander is of the
opinion that 1t would be very mad
visable for any officers or men of
the naval force in European waters
to cause their wives to take passage
for Europe"
Two American naval officers sue
ceeded in getting their wives to join
them before the order was issued.
Both were married in April. The
next month their husbands received
orders to sail for Europe. One wife
came from Philadelphia and the 9TH
er from Boston.
Those responsible for the prohibit
ton justify 1t on the grounds of eff
cheney. One American naval officer
of high rank said:
we must get the maximum of eff
ficiency out of our officers and men.
They must be unfettered to go wher-
ever they are sent at any time. We
cannot have their wives following
them around from one base to an
other. 1t may look hard to the thou
sands of young wives of III naval
men, but they must remember that
this is war and that they are better
off back home where they can be Of
more use to the nation"

RECITAL LAST NIGHT AT HIGH
SCHOOL PLEASES-KETURNS
SATISFACTORY.

The program of music and reading
at the high school auditorium last
night pleased a good sized audience,
and its purpose of contributing to
the cause of the Army Y. M. G. A.
was accomplished with gratifying
success. The net returns derived
from the project amounted to $4S.70,

The Interpretation of Hamlet" by
Mrs. Westaby was especially pleasing
to students of Shakespeare who have
a conception of the character of 1.-The
gloomy Dane" and the mode of
thought of that creation of the great
dramatist was interpreted faithfully.
Miss Gimme rendered piano solos,
Mrs. Hovde gave vocal solos, and ac-
companied by Mrs. Henkin, Joseph
Henkin gave pleasing violin selec-
lions from master composers. The
musical program was enthusiastically
received, and generously encored,
calling for other selections.
Rev. c. McKibbin opened the meet
ing with remarks on the object of
this gathering and of the work of
the organization for which ii was
given. The Boy Scouts, of which he
is the master, acted as ushers for
the audience.
