MATTERS NTEREs STING WESTERLY
w C. T. U Elects Officers Clerk Whpple Busy With Registants Wednesday pr. John Champln President of State Medical Society Which Meets Today Saw ings Committee Named

Captain George II. Webb, director of the draft for Rhode Island. states that after the June quotas are filled there will remain in Class only HOO registrants available flor military ser vice. The selections have been con fidentialiy informed of the number of men they will be called upon to fur nisf1 under preceding calls this month, but this. inforna tion will not be made public until next Saturday. It is estimated that the June calls will be for approximately 1900 men. The war department has a new system of spportioning quotas. whereby the state quotas, based on Class 1. are not to, be made public at once. Inforrna- ton is being withheld concerning large national quotas. and the only intimation of the exact. number of men to be called to the colors this month was given out as 200 900. How ever, the number to be called will de- pend upon the space available at can
 comments.
 ;. According to information given out by Captain Webb decisions on all the cases brought to the attention of se- IOCliOH etIQ DOdTQS. uaQGI tIIS new work or fight draft regulations will be based only on information sub mitted in affidavit form and regis trants will have the right to appeal. In all cases registrants will be noti- fed and given opportunity to present their side to the boards; and each case will be settled on it's merits. Men not usefully employed, from the, war viewpoint. whose circumstances are such that hardships will result from their transfer to other lines of work, will not be compelled to change em- ployment.
 The rules are much more lenient and far less drastic than. first impressions ] indicated. RegistraI1ts who are act ua1ly idlers and who are not support | ing dependents will lase exemption and be inducted into. service. Others who are clerks or employees of so- 1 called non essential businesses, and who could not be placed in essentia, war work without financial loss eff fecting their families, will not come under the work or fight regulations

law in Rhode lsIavo. the commission CT has an office in the state capitol, with a, large office force, and for the sole purpose of, drawing BPS grand and 4S44 petit jurors. for the requnire- ments of the superior court in the five counties. It is estimated that the salary. list of the commissioner and assistants will be at least $S,000 Heretofore, these jurors were selected by the town councils of the various towns and at no expense to the towns or state. In Connecticut, with eight counties. the selection of eligible jur- ors is done at an expense of less than $25o.
 The first drawing of jurors under the. new law will be held on July 1 and the drawing will be under the supervision of Judge Elmer Rathbun of the superior court The names of jurors, with address and occupations are. received from city or town clerks throughout the state.
 At the annual meeting of the Ninth district Women's Christian Temper ance Union, held in Grace Methodist church, Westerly, officers were elected as follows: Mrs. James O. Babcock of Westerly president; Mrs. Jennie Parker of Carolina, secretary: Miss D. B. Nichols, of Westerly. Addresses were made by Mrs. Jennie L. Rock state president and Mrs. J. L.

CHANGES IN PITT LINE
McLaren and Harrington Will Be
Used Against Georgia Tech

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 22.-According
to the present plans OF Coach Glenn
Warner, the same lineup as Saturday
will be put in against the Golden
Tornadoes on Saturday, with two excep-
tions. First, Bill Harrington will play
at right end instead of Ray Alshouse,
for the reason that the flrst-named lad
has had more experience in a gruelling
contest and Is slightly the more finished
player.
He was taken back into the team at
the earnest solicitation of the Panther
team after being Under suspension for
week and one Of the men who asked for
Harrington's reinstatement was Ray
Allshouse, who will be superseded by
the former recalcitrant. That shows the
spirit of the Panthers at this time, and
they have rounded to in a surprising
manner during the last few days, not
only in physical shape, but in mental
attitude, and 'warner now has them
lust where he wants them, In the mood
to begin scoring at the start and keep It
up throughout the game However, Ais
house Is too good a player to be kept
out of the lineup altogether, and he will
be one Of the first rescue men to be
shot in either at end, guard or tackle.
The other change will be that OF Cap
tain George McLaren at fullback instead
of McCracken. The latter will be seen
in action later, however, as he gave a
grand account Of himself against Penn
