BIG JOB FOR R. RS
Troops To Be Moved on Installment
Plan. Beginning Early in September.

Washington. Aug. 7.-Mobilization
of the first $3.50 men to be called
out for the national army in Septem-
Der was being planned today by the
war college. the provost marshal gen.
eral and railway traffic experts.
General Crowder said it is the
greatest problem in troop transporta-
ton ever facing this country.
1t will be necessary, Crowder said,
to have the men leave in small groups
or the limited railroad facilities would
be swamped.
Twenty or 80 per cent of the first
quota in each district will leave be-
tween September 1 and Is, about 40
per cent will leave in the second move
ment and the balance will go at a
later date. probably about October 1.
Whether the men will go from
home cantonment camps or concen-
trate at some central point in each
state first will depend on traffic con-
ditions.

Did you ever hear of an under

kids to play in? Well, very soon there
will be one in Topeka. Manager G.
L. Hooper, of the Orpheum theater,
is instituting the most up to date ad-

room for the children who are too
small to enjoy the movies, but whose
parents want to attend the theater
In the basement of the Orpheum
building a big play room is being
equipped, which will contain a sand
pile, swings, comfortable low seats,
playthings and, perhaps. an honest
to-goodnesS merry-go-round.
Adjoining the playroom for the kids
a sleeping room is being equipped,
which will contain several comforta-

experienced attendant who takes care

Manager Hooper plans to open the

completed before that time. Then the
mothers who want to enjoy the pic

not want to enjoy the pictures. can so

The entrance to the playroom is by
