Washington, July 27.-How the
governments demand for war mate
rial has led the business men of the
country to accomplish the APPARENTLY
impossible, is told in press bulletin
issued by the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States. A committee
OF the chamber is cooperating with
the Council of National Defense in
scruGnizing war orders and helping
to avoid unduly high prices.
The experience of the supply COM
mittee in connection with government
purchases of shoes and cotton duck
furnishes an example When the gov
eminent needed a vast quantity of
Gotten duck for shelter tents and other
uses, it found existing factories un-
able TO supply the demands within the

manufacturers, it is said insisted that
it was impossible; that duck could
not be manufactured on carpet looms.
Manufacturers of the looms said the
same thing The committee persisted,
however, and the plan found practical
and successful, according to the bull
letin. BY this means the army was
afforded a large additional source of
supply for necessary material. 9th

While local selec, ION boards were
at work today assembling men of the
selective draft forces officials of the
provost marshal generals office be-
gan preparing a new publication to
furnish registered men with an easy
method of keeping track of their sta
tus in their districts.
New List Be Furnished.
The new list will be issued with
cross reference by number between
the red ink and drawing numbers.
1t will be possible for those supplied
with the lists to inform any man al
most instantly in what order he was
drawn when he furnishes his red ink
number. Presumably these lists will
be placed in the selection boards
headquarters so that registrants may
find out quickly where they stand.
If the master list is used for this
purpose, it might be necessary to read
over several thousand numbers be-
fore registrant could find his own.
A careful outline of the process to
be followed, both by the selection and
district boards, is also being pre-
pared for publication.

PHYSICAL Disability Rate High Among
ReCistrants. Rich Mems Sons Not
Like to Escape Selection.

Washington, D. c. July 2S.-Reports
of the first selection boards to fill
their quotas for the selective draft
army are eagerly awaited by Washing
ton officials, because they will give
the first definite information as TO the
probable percentage of reflections in
the 100000 registrants for physical
reasons or for dependents.
All available statistics Indicate a
probable rejection Of one in every four
for physical disability. In particular
localities this will vary greatly.
There is no available data as to de-
pendents however, or as to how many
must be excused under Industrial ex-
emptions.
1t appears probable that peculiar re-
suits will be brought out in some dis
tricts. If the reasoning of some Off
Gals is correct, the lowest rejection
and exemption rates will be disclosed
in well-to-do communities, such as
the suburbs of large cities where men
Of comfortable incomes make their
homes. Sons Of such men, it is sug-
gested, have had better food, better
care and better surroundings than
the factory hands of hereby towns
and they should be in better physical
condition.

DANGER OF REiNFEcTloN.

DNNGEh VT hEtlH 7 - iOtSs
Athensti July 27.--By a vote Of II
to T. the House general agricultural
committee No. voted this afternoon
to report favorably the bill of Repre-
senttiye NELL providing for the move
ment into Georgia Of tick.infested cat
lie for purposes Of slaughter only.
The bill lays certain safeguards
about the shipment of such cattle and
provides that they shall be confined in
pens entirely separated from those
used for other cattle. Before they can
be started for shipment, the owner
must show the name OF the consignee
and make affidavit for purposes Of
slaughter only.
r. S Miller of Columbus, former
state senator; w. II. White, Jr., of
the White Provision Company, and
Representative j. Howard Ennis of
Baldwin appeared for the bill while
State Veterinarian Peter f. Bahnsen
argued against it, DR. Bahnsen de-
elared that it would beat down all
that the state had built up in the way
of tick eradication and lead to the
reinfecion Of tick-free territory.

pect to be called in the first draft
can do. now is to watch the selection
board headquarters so as to know
Immediately when their names are
posted. The date when they are to
report fer physical examination will
be shown at the same time.
Even the question of dependents
will not come up in any way until a
report on the mans physical condi-
ton shows him to be suitable for
military service. When that has
been received, the selection board
will be prepared to receive affidavits
on dependnts tn prospective soldier
has. The forms of the affidavits will
be shown by the board
Forms Not Available.
Similarly forms for applications
for exemption on agricultural grounds
or appeal from the ruling selectiyc
board will not be available uL;.. the
time for their use comes.
The purpose of this plan is to
avoid the piling up of documents and
to provide that the boards will have
before them at any time only the
papers of cases in process of hear
ing. Tht is the only way officials
believe in which rapid action can be
insured.

CONSUMERS URGED TO
DELAY BUYING COAL


Atlanta, July 27.-Don't buy your
coal now, but wait until the govern
ment fixes the price under the au-
tho1ity contained in the food bill is
the advice to Georgians from no less
an authority than William j. Harris,
chairman of the Federal Trade Com
mission who is in the city this week
The price of So a ton agreed on by
the coal operators was to high, just as
Secretary of War Baker contended
declares Mr. Harris, and the govern
meHt will bring it down to a reason
able figure. Meanwhile, the people
should sill steady in the boat and await
the fixing of the price, thereby saving
themselves very large sum of mon
ey, considering the fact that prices
are still very high.
Mr. Harris delivered an address to
the Georgia Weekly Press Association
which is still being much discussed,
and there is considerable talk among
legislators that Mr.. Harris's friends
may induce him to make the race for
the United States senate to succeed
Thomas w. Hardwick.

And don't forget that in the books mean time
