You'll fnd it in both men and women,

NEXT LEVY TO
Be IN APRIL

WASHINGTON, March 5. An
nouncement of the date of the next
draft is imminent The Provost Mar
lshai GeneLa,s office has prepared IAN
f1np portant announcement, which is
believed to deal with the time and
method of summoning the second
levy. The best opinion is that the
first of the men will move to camp
in April.
Publication of the announcement is
held up for action by congress on
pending amendments to the selective
service act. The most important of
the proposed changes, in the opinion
of Provist Marshal General Crowder,
is that which will give him authority
to base state quotas on the total num-
ber of men in Glass One instead of
the total registered.
Preparations have been made for
summoning the remaining negroes
certified under the first draft Be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 of these were
called but only half of them have
been sent to the training camps. The
inadvisa bility of centralizing these
troops in southern camps and the fact
that the army medical authorities do
not believe it safe to transfer them to
colder northern camps during the Win
ter are given as the principal reason
for the delay

Councilman to Mayor

Council proceedings Monday nigh,
reminded veteran observers of meet

Mayor Zimmerman was accused by
Councilman Waterman of being an
autocrat. The mayor metaphorically
said you're another In the ole
days, when Zimmerman was mayo,
before, disgruptled coHncilplen some
times called him an autocrat.
The charge of autocracy came in d
discussion of an appropriation OF
$4,000 to provide for a green house
to replace the one recently destroyed
by fire at Glen Miller.
Counciln1en Waterman, Won Pien
White and Ford opposed the appro
priation on the grounds that council
had not been consulted before the ma
terials were purchased and that, any
how war times were no times to be

Councilman Bulla, Evans, Schnei-

The mayor appointed Assistant
Principal Thompson, of the high
school, city forester and confirmed
