MANY MEN EXEMPTED MAY
LATER BE CALLED.

Washington, Sept. Sin line with
the policy of the war department,
confded by Secretary Baker to the
house military committee. to raise and
organize an army Of 100000 by the
end of next year, it was admitted at
the war department today that q
number Of exemptions from this draft
may be later withdrawn. This ap-
plies especially tn married men and
other depency exemptions.
To raise 100000 men by the draft
as the war department is said to
contemplate, it probably will be ne
cessary to recall men who were ex-
empted from the first call It is es-
timated that for the $4,000 secured
by the present draft it was neces-
sary all over the country to exam
inc at least 3,135,000 men. With the
increasing wark work and the. growth
of vital industries it was believed that
even larger percentage would rule
in the next draft, as more men will
b exempted for industrial causes.
This throws the brunt upon the
dependency exemptions and the opin-
ion was expressed that in tho next
draft the regulations would be made
strictr by the president. AT the same
time, it was said that if third draft
was necessary. government officials
considered it better TO recall exemp-
tions in thousands of "hairline cas-
es" than to call upon congress for
another registration Of new classes
in order to secure the required num-
Der Of men.
1t was pointed out that all ex-
emptions except for disqualification,
physical deficiencies. such as missing
arms, legs, and eyes have been COM
plctely provisional and the govern
mcnt has the right to revoke them at
any time.

SMELL, TIT FALLEN ANGEL

Helen Keller, deaf, dumb, and
blind, is living completer and a
richer life than most of us. We have
the use of all our senses, but we have
forgotten the fact. The sense of
smell for instance. Polite people will
mention it in relation to perfumery
and gardens, but to do so in other
instances is not quite nice.
"In my experience, smell is most
important" she writes in The World
Live in Century Company.
81 know by smell the kind of house
we enter. l have recognized an old
fashioned country house because it
has several layers of doors, left by
a succession of families. of plants,
perfumes, and draperies.
"From exhalations l learn much
about people. / often know ire work
they are engaged in. can distinguish
the carpenter from the iron-worker,

chemist. I gain pleasurable ideas of
freshness and good taste from the
odors of soap, toilet water, clean gar
ments, wooden and silk stuffs, and

gloves.
"The dear odors of those I love
are SO definite that nothing can OBJ
literate them.
"Some people have vague, unsub-
stantian odor that floats about, moe
king every effort to identify it.
Sometimes meet one who lacks a dis
tinctive personal scent, and / seldom
find such one lively or entertaining.
On the other hand one who has a
pungent odor often possesses great
vitality and vigor of mind.
'In the odor of young men there
is something elemental, as of fire,
storm, and salt sea. 1t suggests all
things strong and beautiful and
joyous, and gives me n sense of
physical happiness. 1t is not until the
age of six or seven that children be-
gin to have perceptible individual
odors. These develop and mature
along with their mental and bodily
powers.
without sense of "mell," she
concludes, "the objects dear to my
hands would become formless, dead
things, and l should walk among
them as among invisible ghosts"
