If such men into military service.
In Special Glass.

In Special Glass.
The provost marshal general made
clear today that because the new reg
ulations provide that men not COM
pletely crippled may be held subject
for special army service and will not
be exempted, this does not mean that
the army proposes to fill up it's ranks
behind the lines and ON routes of
communication with semi-Qualified
men. Such men will be put in
special class and can be called only
under a special and specific summons
for men disqualified for general mill
tary service. but qualified for special
service.
This ruling applies to thousands of
men suffering from fiat feet and sim
liar minor deformities which would
disqualify them from field service,
but which would not Interfere with
their operating army motor cars and
other such work, or on line of COM
munication duty. 1t also aplies to
men under weight beyond the possi-
BILE entrance allowance or rwhose state
of health. as verified by physicians,
would render them unavailable for
service in hard weather.
Exemptions Cancelled.
Under the previous service thou
sands of exemptions were granted on
these grounds. These are now all can
,celled and the men will have to again
undergo physical examination not
only at the hands OF the local board
examiners. but by a special medical
board OF seven as we'll.
In order to eliminate all waste OF
time in handling the draft, physical
examinations will be the last work
to be taken up under the new system.
Each man will be card-indexed and
classified regardless of his physical
condition, in accordance with his an
swers as to his economic status.
Only when he is actually called for
service in the order OF his classified
tion and draft number" will he be
put under physical examination. The
old system called for the physical ex-
animation first and In thousands OF
cases boards had to examine men
such as ministers. federal officers and
others legally exempt before dealing
with other aspects of their cases. This
process 10 now reversed, and where IN
the past a board might have to ex
anime twenty-five men before II coult
secure one subject to service, It nov
has only to refer to It's records am
call that one.

APPEALS UNDER THE
FIRST DRAFT THROWN OUT
Men Disqualified for Fighting at the Front May
May Not be Exempt from Certain Other
DutieS--New System Explained.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Men who
have been drafted and have appeals
from the decisions of the local board
pending will have their cases auto
matically thrown on the boards. by a
new ruling of Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder in connection with the
complete revision of the draft regu-
latons.
Major Easily Smith. legal expert of
General Crowder's staff, who, with
Colonel Hugh Johnson, did most OF
the work in revising and reorganiz-
ing the draft system, today explained
that all such apeals will automatic
ally cease to exist, as the man will be
returned to his original status, that
is to the position he was in before
being called before the draft board.
He will be sent a QUESTIONABLE. If
his replies to the queries in that
booklet indicate that he should be
granted the deferred classification
for which his present appeal will be
made-he will be so classified by the
board. Should the board decide, how
ever, that he belongs in class /, sub
sect to immediate call, he will be so
notified and will have the right of
appealing to the district board for
such deferred classification.
Text of New Rule.
The text of the new rule whereby
the secretary of war is authorized to
draft into immediate service for spec
al duty any man believed from the
record to be qualified for such duty,
no matter what his classification or
his order number in the draft. is
couched in the widest terms. AS given
out by the provost marshal general it
follows:
THE deferred classification of ex-
perts and men highly skilled IN in
dustry or agriculture is intended to
prevent the waste incident to induc-
tion into military service of men
whose special qualifications render
them more valuable to the national
interest in some other capacity.
There are. however. circumstan-
ces in which the need OF the military
establishment for men expert or ex
pertly skilled is such that the nation
al interest is better served by Undue
ting such men into military service
than by leaving them engaged In in
dustry or agriculture. In such cir
cumstances neither deferred classifi
cation on the ground of engagement
in industry or agriculture or the or
der numbers heretofore assigned b.
lot can be permitted to defer the cal

CONCRETE SURFACE IN TASTE
Types OF Architecture May Be Con-
sidered That Could Be Attained
Through No Other Medium.

In building permanently tits advfs-
that viii not only avail itself of the
natural quality of the building mate
rial, but will at the same time, be best
adapted to an economical development.
Simplicity of architectural lines rarely
fails to give the quality of beauty. The
dignif1ed colonial houses of early New
England and the Georgian houses of
New York and Virginia offer models
that may be easily followed in perma-
nent materials. So, too, are those Pc
culiar1y American adaptations of the
Spanish, the California and mission
types susceptible to the same construc-
ton. Flat wall surfaces of soft gray
concrete bring out the proportion and
placing of doors and windows. White
stuceo on fireproof wall will give
the same effect as painted woodwork,
with all the peculiar charm of an old
Pennsylvania country house with its
lime-washed walls. In fact there is no
real limitation incurred by the selec-
ton of permanent construction; the
choice is really widened and etypes Of
architecture may be considered that
could be successfully attained through
ne other medium.
Tt would be possible to continue al
most indefinitely a discussion of the
suitability of concrete surfaces, fin
ished as rough cast or as finely-tooled
stone for interior wall surfaces, and
of its particular adaptability for fire.
place construction, and other interior
details. At much less cost than If the
designs were cut in natural stone, ar
tistic ornamented work may be mold
ed for exterior and interior decora-
ton. At. small expense a limitless
range of colors and textures is avail
able.

Types Of Bird Houses.

paint 1t brown or green and throw a
little dry earth on it before the paint
is quite dry. 1t must be made to look
as old and weather-beaten as possible.
Make your box deeper than it is
wide and put the hole nearer the top
than the bottom. Slope the roof from
the back to the front, and let it pro-
ject far enough to prevent sun, rain
and cats from reaching the hole.
It is much better to hinge the roof,
as then you can clean the house out
at the end of the season, which must
be done or the birds will not return.
1t is wise to dust out the inside of an
old birdhouse thoroughly with sulphur.
Be sure you set the houses out of reach
of cats, as they are the nestlings' worst
enemies.
