AAG OEcAl AoNefG
Leo Ditrichstein in 'rhe Great
Lover" comes to the National Theatsr
next week commencing Monday, Jan.
uary 20. In the depletion of Jean
Paurel, Mr.. Ditrichstein, IL Is said,
has a congenial role, which he de-
velops with the consistency and
naturalness OF the consumnaate artist
that he is. ''The Great Lover" takes
charming little excursion. into the
fascinating, yet unknown, kingdom
of Grand Opera life, where intimately
presented are all the song birds, i'm
presarios, maestros, etc, etc, who
go to make up this artistic family SC
little known, outside their own little
world.
Mr.. Ditrichstein and his con-
freres conduct this tour in a most
realistic and|unique manner by Civ
ing touch OF romance to the story
while rejecting the actualities OF
their life.
The supporting company is espec-
tally well selected.

DEPENDENCY CLAUSE" tx
planned BY PRESIDENT

AT the direct suggestion Of Presi-
dent Wilson, Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder has telegraphed to all
Governors supplemental explana-
ton of regulations governing the
status of married men under the Sc
lective service law.
AS restated by the President, a
married man with a dependent wife
or child is to be exempted from SER
vice even though it might be possible
for his or her parents to provide
for her in his absence.
The income upon which the wife
or child is dependent, however, must
be derived entirely from the mental
or physical labor of the drafted man
II his wife is dependent upon his in
come, but that income rs derived
from property or stocks or other IL
terests other than his mental or
physical labor, he will not be ex-
empted. If his wife has an individ-
ual income he will be drafted.
The President does not sustain
the position of the many boards that
practically all married men should
be exempted, but he did make it plain
in a letter written to Secretary Of
War Baker that he feels the army
ought to be raised as far as possible
without creating the hardships nee
essarily entailed when the head Of a
family is taken. President Wilson
hopes that for the most part those
subject to the first can will be men
who have not yet assumed such fam
lily relations. The selective draft
law makes the fact of dependency
rather than the fact of marriage the
basis for exemption. lie feels that
there are many cases within the age
limits fixed of men who are married
and yet whose accumulation or rath-
err economic surroundings are such
that no dependency of wife exists in
fact. The President is certain that
the law does not contemplate the
exemption of such men.

SHORTAGE DUE IN TWO YEARS

Two more years of war will re-
duce the entire world to the same
shortage of food as now exists in
Germany, according to scientists in

cause the countries mt war with her
will not endure the hardships which
the Germans are willing to undergo.

INTERESTING RECORD

Among the many interesting relics
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Price Calk
one of the most interesting is an old
record book giving the meeting and
organization of the Ladies' Union
Relief Society. This society was
organized for the benefit of sick,
wounded and needy soldiers. The
organization was formed October
20, 1861. Mrs. William Bridges was
president, Mrs. Walter Chiles, treas
urer, and Mrs. Thomas Calk, secre-
tary. The society held regular meet
ings every Tuesday and fine of 10
cents was the penalty for failure to
attend the meetings.
The society knitted socks, made
bandages, sheets, pillow eases,
gloves, etc, and did the work about
along the same lines as the Red
Cross Society of the present day.
One entry in the book reads as
follows: "Sent TO the hospital in
Louisville after the battle of Shiloh,
5000, also large box of sheets,
pillow eases, bed ticks, etc"
Although the entries were made SO
years ago they are exceedingly plain
and clear.
Mrs. Calk has very kindly permit
ted us to keep the book for few
days and we would be pleased for
any that care to examine it to call
at the office.
