ALL POST OFFICE EMPLOYEES
ARE NOT EXEMPT FROM DRAFT

A ruling issued Monday by the Post
office department shows that depart
ment officials will make few requests
for the exemptions of postal employees
from military service. Postmasters
are instructed not to ask exemptions
for carriers or laborers, or for clerks
in second class offices below $1,000
grade; clerks in first class office be-
low the s1100 grade or any above
these grades mentioned. unless they
are qualified distributors Of mail.
The departments ruling leaves rail
way mail clerks within the exemption
classes as they are highly specialized
distributors.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
took steps this week to reduce the
number of exemptions because of de-
pendent families. Instructions were
sent to the governors Of all states
pointing out that the minimum pay o..
soldiers is now $50 a month, and that

acters which are desirable and discard
the undesirable.

The two foregoing principles are
simple in their conception and easily
understood. but the practical applica-
tion is quite complicated, and you will
find that they are utilized by men who
buy and mate even high-class animals
and sell the produce. They are not
constructive breeders because they
never got beyond their starting point.

The following 10 . very interesting
statement by Mr.. William H. Robbins,

three kinds of farming: extensive. in

not want the ear OF the hog to cover
the eye so as to interfere with the
vision. Likewise the fact that hog S
ears are muscularly well under its con-
troll is, to my mind. an indication of a
well-balanced nervous organization.

the efficient brood SOW. for if she mad

hogs come when they are called. Re

good strong pasterns and is right up

will not. Also. the feet are an indica-
ton of the quality of the entire hog.

BUILDINGS URGED
Commission Would Make
1t Distributing Centre at
Cost of Sl,527,00O

The Commission on New Prisons, ap-
pointed by Governor Whitman last
July. reported to him at the st. Regis
Yesterday. The commission was named
TO recommend plans for rebuilding sing
Sing. to make it a receiving and DIS
tributing centre for state prisoners
and TO select a site, either at Wlngdaie
or Beekman, for a new farm and IN
dustrial prison.
Wingdale. on the line of the Har-
lem Railroad, in Duchess County, was
selected. The report provides for the
construction Of twenty-five new build
ings at Sing Sing at cost of sl,527'-
600.
II was pointed out that as only $780,
GOO was available for the new Sing
Sing. the recommendations would re-
uuire the raising of additional funds.
The estimated cost Of the prison, to
accommodate $3.50 prisoners, at Wing
dale is $2,75O,o0O.
Referring to the reconstruction Of
Sing Sing, the report says;
1T is proposed to erect twenty-five
new reinforced concrete buildings, OF
varying sizes. to house adequately the
organization established under the pro-
posed reception. and classification
scheme. which will take care OF one
thousand convIcts.
provision has been made for the
scientific examination of every prisoner
received at Sing Sing with reference to
his mental and physical condition and
economic possibilities, with a view 20
classifying such conYicts and then
sending them to institutions where II
is be!ie-ed they can be most proftabiy
employed with reference to their own
education and Improvement, and, nee
essarily. 20 the reflex advantage Of the
state"
The commission recommends the as
signment of men from the various prls-
ons to undertak the construction work
at Sing Sing. The report is signed by
