ABOUT 2e,OOO MEN
Became Fl Years Old Since Last
June 10 Tennessee

Speaking last Friday OF the pas
sage by congress of the bill re-
curing the registration Of young
men who have attained lineage of
81 years since June 5, 1917, Maj.
Rutledge Smith said it had been
computed BY the statistical depart
ment that about 1921 youths in
Tennessee had become of legal age
since last June. Maj. Smith said
that the Council of Defense had
made all arrangements for the reg
istration Of these young men, and
that the work would begin as soon
as the president issued his order
for the same. He said it was esti-
mated that 80 per cent of these
young men will be placed in class
la.
AS finally agreed upon, the bill
provides that youths registered
under it shall be placed at the bot
tom Of the lists of those classes to
which they will be assigned, and
that students now in medical and
theological schools shall be exempt
from the draft.
June 5 has been fixed as the
date for this registration. 1t is
estimated that about 100000 men
available for military service will
be found.

could not well people keep we'll by

'Tn some homes the furnace is
started too early in the fall and is

neys of these homes are belching
smoke and spreading SCOT over their

house comfortable.
Every householder by endeavoring
to save coal in the ways suggested can
render his country valuable service,
and he will not be doing his full duty
toward his country unless he renders
such service as he can. In addition,
he should remember that besides help

IS PATRIOTIC DUTY

WASHINGTON Feb. 22.-Five days
of saving fuel in heating houses are
described in timely report just made
by the bureau of mines. department of

Van. H. Manning, director of the
bureau, declares that while the COun-
try is facing shortage of coal it is
the patriotic duty of every citizen to
save coal in the heating of his home.
He estimates that there are about %
100000 homes in this country and that
if everybody uses ordinary intelligence
and care a ton of coal can be saved
easily at each home during this year.
For the entire country this saving
would amount to about 20,0O0,000 tons
of coal, which is nearly as much as all
of the coal mined in France during the
year 1917.
