Governor Brumbaugh
Will Fill Vacancies

Governor Brumbaugh is expected
to act late to-day in the matter of
the district appeal exemption boards,
whose members he suggested to
Washington some time ago. The
Governor returned to Harrisburg to-
day after a weekend spent in the
vicinity of Philadelphia and will also
fill up vacancies in local boards.
Colonel Frank G. Sweeney, in
charge of the draft headquarters,
said to-day that the supplies were
being rushed to local boards and
that as fast as information came
from Washington it would be for
warded to them. 1t is probable that
the Governor will name an officer to
succeed Colonel Howard s. Williams
as disbursing officer very shortly,
as Colonel Williams is assigned to
command the ammunition supply
train.

getting numerous letters from people
asking for numbers. to-day said that

Fly-Swatting Campaign
Closes on Saturday When
Prizes Will Be Awarded

The fy-swatting contest which the
boys and girls of the city have been
waging during the early months of
the summer will close on Saturday
morning, when the flies that have
been caught and killed, and those
that have been swatted, will be
brought to the Patriot building, IL
North Market Square, to be meas
ured.
Each boy and girl will be paid five
cents a pint for all dead flies
brought there. Prizes will be award
ed to the youngsters bringing the
largest quantity of flies. This work
which has been done annually for
several years, is conducted under
the direction of the municipal de-
partment of the Civic Club. Miss
Rachel Pollock is chairman and Mrs.
Solomon Hiney, Jr., of Steelton, vice
chairman.
The measuring on Saturday, and
awarding of prizes, will be in charge
of Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, Mrs
James Barr Marsereau and Miss
Josephine Hanlen of the Civic Club
While the members believe the mul.
titude of flies is being reduced as 6
result of the contests, it is expected
that many pints of the dead pests
will be brought in on Saturday.

NEW DRAFT REGULATIONS
Deferred Classification May Be
Disregarded and All Glasses
Must Answer to Colors

Washington, Nov. 17.-Drastic
new regulations for the draft have
been approved by President Wilson
and are made public tonight by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Here are some of the radical new
provisions:
Secretary Baker is given authority
to revoke any exemption or disregard
the deferred classification and order
the call of any registered man if
that mans special qualifications
makes him necessary for special SER
vice. Thus. if the army finds itself
facing a sudden need for $4,000
chauffeurs, Secretary Baker is au-
thorized to direct all local boards to
get them, no matter where they
stand in the order of call.
Voluntary enlistments in the regu-
lar army of men between the ages of
81 and 81 will be completely stopped
on December Is. After that date if
a registered man desires to enter the
service, he must sign a waiver for
all exemption and if he has depend.
ents they must waive all claim to his
support. Should the sole dependent:
be a child or children under 16 nj
waiver will be accepted and he must
stay at home and support them unit
his order is reached.
Men previously discharged fol
slight d~eformities, such as fiat feet
will be recalled. They will be put tt
work at either army depots or where
most needed.
Shipworkers doing Government
work are not subject to call as lon,
as they retain their present employ
ment.
Registered men for the first tim
are permitted to enlist in the nav,
or marine corps. This applies onl.
to the men so far down in the orde
of call list that they are not subjec
to call in the second draft.
An entirely new system of physica
examination is ordered, whereby
man will be examined by physician
of the local board and an exper
board of seven specialists.
The rules become effective in par
on November 20, and will probabl,
go into effect as a whole on Decembe
Is.

HARD TASK FOR INVENTORS
American Public Looks Confidently to
Men Of Science for Device to End
Submarine Menace.

The newspaper inventor has been
having the time Of his life recently.
owing to the very unwise chatter Of
certain worthy gentlemen who ought
to know better, says Electrical World.
The submarine menace Is one which IL
not lightly to be estimated. The CAM
paign against England has been, al
though far from decisive, unpleasantly
successful, and 1t is with great glad
ness that we learn the active co-opera-
ton Of United States squadron In
endeavoring to suppress It, but no good
is done by premature announcements
regarding the great things which Yam
kee ingenuity Is about to do in the
way Of suppressing the submarines.
We have abiding confidence. born
of long experience, in the resourceful-
ness Of the American inventor. In this
case, however, he has set before him
for quick solution by far the most
serious task that has ever confronted
the engineering profession. The pub
lie looks blindly for help in some mys!
terious way from electrical devices Of
one kind or another. Electricity Is still
a name with which to conjure, so that
the man in the street will swallow
hook, bait and sinker, almost anything
that Is thrown out to him In the way
Of an electrical promise.
Now, 1t is only fair to American en-
gineers to state that number Of de-
vices tending to the suppression Of
submarines have been suggested, .inves-
tlgated and tried. Some Of them are
regarded as very promising, well worth
prompt experimentation on a consid.
cradle scale. Others give little hope of
success, and while not At for utter
abandonment, cannot be considered as
likely to relieve the situation. This
much is certain, that whoever shall
possess n thoroughly effective method
Of lighting submarines viii be the last
man In the United States to talk about
It, for obvious patriotic reasons.

JUPITER IS OF GREAT SIZE
lf,the Planet We're Cut Up Into 1900
Pieces, Each Would stlIl Be
Larger Than the Earth.

II Jupiter were cut up into 1900
pieces each would be larger than the
earth. All the planets together do not
weigh half as much as Jupiter. Only
the sun surpasses Jupiter in size.
A year on the planet Jupiter is equal
tdN12 Of our years. Jupiter rotates on
its axis in less than half the time Of
the earth, but, because Of the planets
enormous size, the rotation speed is
much higher.
While the earth travels IT miles a
minute, Jupiter travels 400 miles q
minute, says the Rochester Post-Dis-
patch. If Jupiter turned on its axis
little faster 1t would burst as some fly
wheels do when they exceed a safe
speed.
Jupiter may be regarded either as
decaying sun or developing earth.
He has not yet had time to cool. He
is n great globe Of gaseous and molten
matter-the most extraordinary planet
in the entire solar system.
