Two questions have been botherlng
the officials in charge of the draft in
Marie. The first had to do with the
abolishing of town lines in making the
draft. Under the regulations as orig
inally promulgated. the draft would be
made with the county as the unit I'm
der that system in Kennebec county for
instance, it would have been possible
for the jury wheel to have given up
Kennebec's entire quota from Water
vile along. The Maine officials have
just received a ruling from Washing
ton which preserves abe town or city
as the unit. The telegram covering the
point reads as follows:
81 B Br 172 Govt. 10 P. NJ.
Washington. D. c., May 31st, 1917.
Governor of Maine Augusta, Me.
No. 1853.
Studies being made in preparing reg
ulations governing the selection and
determination of exemptions indicate
that it is desirable to keep registration
cards clearly segregated into groups
corresponding to the registration pre-
cincts to which they belong until all
local boards have been designated by
the President. So much of Paragraph
SO as requires the cards for each board
to be numbered and arranged in alpha
betioal order Is therefore suspended
until further orders. Registration
boards should make the copies of cards
required by paragraph IS, keeping both
originals and copies in precinct groups.
The lists required by Paragraph 80
should be made and published in pre-
cinct groups but the cards should not
be numbered and the copies should be
retained by the board until further or
ders. Cards of persons registered I'M
der paragraph 40 should be filed in
proper precinct groups. Please insure
that all registration boards in your
state are informed in ample time
Crowder.
The second question was in regard
to exemptions. On the Registration
Card Question II is an opportunity for
the person being registered to file re-
quest for exemption. This raised the
point of whether or not, If a man ne
elected to file his exemption there, he
thereby forfeited the right to claim ex-
emption later or if he did make note of
his desire to be exempt, that would
have weight before an Exemption
Board. A telegram received from
Washington today indicates that
a person forfeits no rights through
failure to answer question - and that
lie can answer or not, as he desires.
Copies of these kilograms are being
mailed TO every Chief Registrar in the
State TODAY.
The telegram relating to exemption
reads as follows:
22B Br IS Govt ak . NJ
Washington. D. c., May 31st, 1917.
Governor Of Maine,
Augusta, Maine.
No $50
The answer to question u on the
registration card will not be regarded
as obligatory. In case there is no
answer to question II the card will not
be entered in column 4. Please inform
all registration boards and REQUIRE
them to inform registrars.

J.PLUVIUS THREATENS
TO reign FOR TODAY
King Sol Was Supreme Yesterday;
REGISTERED SO Degrees.

Probably showers today. Tomorrow
fair, continued warm, gentle north
west to north winds becoming vari-
able.
Old Man Weather has two best bets
in the summer time, heat and
showers, and he has backed both of
them to the fullest extent of his abili-
ty in the National Capital during the
past several days.
First, he will sit on his heat out
f1t and produce enough warmth to
stir rancor even in the hearts of the
most calm and deliberate OF that host
which compose governmental clerical
machinery here.
Second, with unfailing regularity,
as weather statistics prove, he will try
to retrieve himself by tipping his
water bucket for an occasional show
er or two. This little stunt has been
programmed by that genial gentle
man again for today.
The maximum street temperature
yesterday was 50 degrees. During the
day the humidity ranged between y
and 50.
Only one case of heat prostration
was reported by the police yesterday,
that being recorded at the fourth pre-
cinct when James Wood. colored, IS
years old, of Charles county, Mary
land, was overcome at Four-and-a-
half street and Virginia avenue south
west.

BABIES WIN ribbon
At OPEN-AIR SHOW
Contest Brings Many Mothers with
Tots to Playground.

Pick the two prettiest babies on
Arthur Playground.
So hard was IL to decide between
bunch of about twenty-five tots
That it was decided to hold a baby
contest" and yesterday at $50 about
30 persons gathered. including
mother, fathers. sisters. brothers and
friends of babies entered in the con-
test, and they voted on three babies.
Their choice of boys was little Will
liam Vita, whose feet were uncov-
cred showing ten of the smallest
toes ever seen. Whether this made
any impression or not is not known,
but the fact that he grabbed first
prize makes it look pretty sure.
Then came the girls. 1t was a
pretty hard job picking among them
and after the vote was taken it
was found that two little girls had
tied for first place, which showed
that there must have been some COM
petition. The two, who were de-
clared winners. are ANGLING Luzi
and Elizabeth Mary Craig. Blue rib
bons were awarded the winners.
Ice cream was sold during the con-
test and it was in charge of Miss
Lena Massino and Alto Vita. Miss
Minerva Pray and Miss Helen Stur-
tevant took charge of the contest
and awarded the prizes.

ship BOARD NEEDS
MORE SKILLED LABOR
Appeal Will Be Issued to Fedora
ton in Few Days.

Steel, lumber and labor are the three
essentials upon which the Shipping
Board concentrated attention yester-
day, after formal organization was eff
fected and Edward N. Hurley formally
elected chairman. The question of
labor looms up as the most prominent
OF the three subjects and 1t Is likely
an appeal will be issued within a few
days to organized labor to contribute
every skilled worker that can be
spared from other work.
In addition to the appeal for skilled
workmen, schools will be established
at all the leading shipyards through
out the country, where special instruc-
ton will! be given in the art OF
riveting, caulking and other arts so
essential to shipbuilding. Numbers OF
these schools already are being con-
Quoted and others will be added be-
fore the end of the week. Through
the Council of National Defense labor
committee, of which Samuel Gompers
is chairman. arrangements are being
made for rushing men through the ap-
prentice period.
Surveys of the steel and lumber
markets already have been made and
1t Is not anticipated any difficulty will
be met in procuring ample supplies or
both commodities.
At the organization meeting yester-
day. R. B. Stevens was named vice
chairman OF the board and Admiral
Caps general manager OF the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation. The new
body Immediately took under con-
sideration the business left by Chair
man Denman and Gen. Goethals, and
several contracts made by Gen.
Goethals before his retirement were
approved.

WAR COST FOR YEAR
is $l7,OOO,OOO,OOO
Secretary MeAdoo Agrees with Sen
ator Smoot on Budget.


Secretary McAdoo yesterday practi-
cally justified the statement by Sena-
tor smoot that the first year Of the
war would cost this country about
s1I.oo0, 10000.
The Secretary told the Senate FL
nance Committee that past, pending
and proposed expenditures would
amount to 81. l.1s4.0oo.
Senator smoot had included in his
estimate the past loan Of 3,0O0. 000. 600
to the allies. another probable loan
Of ZOO. 0o0. 900 and 500 900 for the
Shipping Board.
II was IN response to the request
from the Finance Committee that the
Secretary furnished the estimate of
the enormous sums required. He said
that Of the 81, 651. 100000. about 49,
rs. 9o7 900 would be spent this year.
The financial experts OF Congress
will now have to devise means of
raising about s755. 900. This includes
the $500. s7s,347 for which the army
has asked.
The total expenditure for the army
by the close of the fiscal year ending
June %, 1913. will be about SS,S73, 900, 900.
& The navy will require about 81, 224, OOO.-
CO., These two items alone aggregate
close to $4,000 10000.
Experts from the War Departments
and chiefs Of the war divisions APP
peared before the Finance Committee
to tell their immediate needs. Cen
eral Croker. OF ordnance; General
Black. Of engineering; General Sharpe,
Of the quartermaster's department and
General Squier, of aviation. and a
chief medical officer all put in an
appearance.
The committee had expected that
some of the s, 90. 10000 might not be
absolutely necessary for this years
expenditure. But the army experts
insisted that this was not so.

Why You Should
Never Pare a Corn

II you are troubled with corns or
calluses, do not run the risk of
blood poison by pairing them. Sta
tistics show that many deaths have
occurred from this seemingly in
nocent practice of pairing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and
get few cents worth of Ice-Mint,
rub a little on any painful corn or
callus. Immediately the pain will
disappear and in short time the
corn or callus will loosen and lift
on easily with the fingers-root and
alt-leaVing the surrounding skin
in healthy, normal condition.
This, together with the fact that
Ice-Mint overcomes such affections
as sore, tired. aching. pulled or
burning feet and makes them cool,
easy and comfortable, is probably
responsible for the hearty endorse
ment given 1t by druggists.
To rid ones feet of every hard
corn, soft corn, corn between the
toes or painful calluses in such a
pleasant and safe way, makes 1t
seem the height OF folly for any
one to pare a corn. and People are
warned to stop it.-Adv.

names of laborers who want work on

ers are too busy to make a trip to the
court house they can telephone their
names in and in this case they should
give the number of their phone and
their postoffice address so that labor
