A New Order OF Things.

Reports from Pennington indicate

Hospital No. 4. The first thing Or.
Eaton did, upon assuming charge,
was to order more and better food
for the patients. The public will
heartily commend that act. What II
1t does cost more. The great state of
Missouri has nc desire to practice
economy at the expense Of that great
number Of unfortunates. We do know
that the new system will cost more.
1t may be that the business ability Of
Dir. Eaton will cnt the cost; but there

who will object to spending a few
thousand dollars additional to bring
an additional degree of happiness to

demned the act itself?

be developed only through German

cred he was Immediately given his

The boards may, be furnished will
suggestions as to occupational ex
emption. The government can out
line generally the professions OF
trades which must be maintained al
full strength. The Importance of an
individual in that profession n
trade, however, can only be deter
mined by the local boards.
Religion Only Part Exemption
No inkling has been given as to
the part to be assigned to those
who are to be granted part exemp-
tlon because of religious belief.
They are to be freed of the necessity
of firing upon enemy soldiers and
therefore from regular military
service, but the act contemplates
that they can serve in some non
combatant capacity behind the lines
and holds them liable for such
service. In such cases the question
0t physical qualifications is wholly
different and there are many fine
points that will have to be decided
n that connection as the facts pre-
'ent themselves.

Must Dim Motor
Lamps Under New Law

If you have clear glass on youl
motor car lamps and the car is moi
equipped with DINNERS which you
use in approaching another car you
are liable to fine or Imprisonment
or both if anyone complains or the
officers get you. The new state law
went into effect today and it will
be strictly enforced. 1t permits you
to use dispersive lenses, with which
about half the cars are now equip
ped, and which prevent glare. They
cost only 81 to 81 a pair and make
driving safe. Unless you have these
you must use DINNERS which is a
constant nuisance when driving in
town and are unsafe in the country.
Spotlights are allowed but they must
not be directed toward any ap-
preaching vehicle-which will be
great relief to young couples who
go buggy riding Sunday evening.
Nothing is said, however, about
turning them on a hammock on a
lawn or porch.
Must Stop and Give Name
Another provision of this auto
law requires the driver of a car
causing injury to anyone on the
road to stop Immediately and give
his name, residence and other in
formation demanded together with
the license number Of his car to the

Abilene men may still send II

applicants for the second military
training camp at Ft Riley has not
materialized. The demand for APP
plication blanks for entrance into
the officers training course has
taken a heavy slump. Many who
have applied are plainly not fitted
for commanding officers. Only 1000
blanks have been given out but sew
eral times this number should be

Failure to do this subjects the driver
of the car to fine of not more
than $1,000 and Jail sentence of
not to exceed six months, either or
both.
Speed Limits Fixed
Driving faster than forty miles
an hour in the country and faster
than twelve miles per hour in cities
is forbidden and this speed is only
permissible when it is absolutely
safe.
The new law will have a very
good effect upon motor drivers. IT.
will affect but few persons but it
will put a crimp in the man who
has been in the habit of running
over people and then running on
without lending aid or comfort.

fines where the law is broken. The
