Crowder. The committee, he added
did not indicate any disposition to
question the necessity for the change
which is urged so the war depart
ment can quickly secure the men
necessary to win the war.
Work or Fight Rules,
There was some discussion" MIR.
Baker said, las to whether 1t was
the intention Of the department to
extend the work or fight order to in
clude classes OF persons in various
professional occupations. told
them there was no present change
Of the work or fight order in contem-
plation. I said that when l decided
the baseball case thought perhaps
other forms of amusement and en-
tertatnment might require an ex-
tension Of the order to be on a parity
with the baseball situation, but that
was not in their mind.
They had heard from outside
sources that the department was
considering bringing professional
classes, like lawyers, newspaper men
and persons who were not actually
engaged in producing war supplies,
under the order.
The committee, Mr.. Baker contin-
ued, was especially interested in the
effect Of the extension of the draft
ages on colleges and also in the
question as to whether young men
from IS. up would be drawn indis
criminately in class one or placed
in deferred class by age and drawn
later, giving them some added
months to come to maturity.
Il told the committee" said the
war secretary, that no fixed policy
had been determined upon by the de-
partment, but that the purpose was
to allow the President to defer in
class one the call of the youngest
men. I have always considered, as
you perhaps remember, that 10 was
the probable minimum, and I have
come to the minimum only because 1t
sees necessary to get the men:
mot that I think men Of is
are necessarily too young, because
shows that boys from Is to 10 are
perhaps as from 10 to 20; but I
think there is a sentiment in the
country which will look with very
much more anxious regard on the
boys from IS to 10 than the boys
from 10 to 20. Eighteen years seem
to many people a more tender age
than 10, and it is for that reason that
we are thinking Of making this
deferment Of men from
l8 to 49,"
Senators said that in urging
speedy enactment Of the new man
power legislation, Mr.. Baker had left
to the judgment of congressional
leaders the question Of recalling the
senate in session before the expira-
ton of the recess programs Aug. 26i

means to produce the laughter, such

is a regretable fact, but true never

WHEAT RESERVES
STORED BY i. 5.
IN AUSTRALIA
American Expert Advises
Bulk Handling By Ele-
.vator System +.

Sydney, Australia, June 3o.-The
complex subject OF Australian wheat
and the wartime purchase of it by
the United States has been dis
cussed in recent speeches by DR.. J.
T. DuveI, crop technologist in charge
of grain standardization investiga-
tions of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, who has COM
'pleted a tour of the wheat growing
states Of Australia in the interest of
Australia american war relations.
He was sent here by the Washing
ton authorities. In addressing the
executive officers Of the Royal Agri-
cultural society Of New South Wales
at "a complimentary luncheon which
this organization rendered him at
The Australian hotel here, DR.. >Duvel
said:
Just what will be the situation in
the United States without recourse
to further purchase Of wheat from
Australia when the new crop comes
in / am not in a position to say, but
! believe the United States will con-
tinue to buy wheat to store up, some
reserve stocks against possible fail
ure next year, because the indica-
tions are that this war is not over
and it is likely, to continue for some
time.
American Standards Cited.
Much Of the wheat in Australia
would go into the United States

classified in Australia. Hard white
wheats are the best American
wheats and bring premium in the
market That is one Of the reasons
why am here, to advise your men.
who are handbag Australian wheat
which is going to the United States
what our standards are. Here you
have been working on the T. q. O.
basis but wheat is being sold on the
basis of the American standards. It
is only fair that in Australia you
should know what the American
standards are and what our CLASH
fication is, and that If the Australian
growers put hard white wheat into
a shipment they are entitled to re-
ceive premium.
There has been some anxiety on
the part Of the American people as
to the condition of Australian wheat
as a result OF some conditions you
have had, and that is another reason
why am here. ] am glad to be able
to report that those conditions are
not as serious as some people
through the press had, led us to be-
iieve."
The conditions" referred to by
DR. Duvel were weevils and the
mouse plague of about year ago.
Bulk Handling Advised.
IF Australia had adopted bulk
handling OF wheat ten years ago.
added Or. Duvel, Il believe that
what she would have saved in the
wheat lost during the past three
years would have paid for the en-
tire installation of the elevator sys-
tenn"

partment Of agriculture In the
development of the agricultural in
dustry in Australia and the efforts
to place it on better and Ssounder
basis
In responding to toast alt d

wants TO be fair to the Australian
producers. Ny people look on this

Washington, Aug. 1O.-New draft
regulations undere which the gov
eminent would do the selecting
rather than the registrant are undor
consideration by the war depart
ment. This was disclosed today by
Secretary Baker after he had ap-
peared before the senate military
committee to urge prompt enactment
of the new selective service act ex-
tending the age limits to include all
men between the ages of Is and As.
The war secretary made it plain
that he is not satisfied with the
present system under which
the registrant wishing deferred
classification must say so, as many
men with dependents hesitate for
patriotic reasons to make such a
solaim. Mr.. Baker said he was in
Clined to the opinion that the mar
rfage relation will in itself con-
stfxute deferred classification.
AAr. Baker has in mind to lay down
a SCI Of questions which the regis
trsnf would answer and then have
rules which would take care of the
classification.

Baker said, followed much the lines

FIGHTING THE BAsYrs BATTLE

By Or. n. Il. BISHOP, JRy
Proper care given to the special
organs is essential in fighting the
baby's battles. The eyes, for in
stance, call for the utmost attention
on. the part Of the mother or care
taker.
Whether the young baby Is awake
or asleep, his eyes should always be
shielded from strong light, either
sunlight or artificial and from dust
and wind, Care should be taken not
to allow any soapy. wateer to enter
the baby's eyes in bathing. Swelling
or redness or any discharge should
have medical. attention at once,
The mouth. on the other hand, is
ofttimes better off If let alone, for a
healthy babys mouth needs no
cleaning before the teeth come. The
saliva is a sterilizing fluid, intended
to keep the mouth healthy, and it is
possible to injure the delicate It's
sues by attempting to clean them
with a cloth. If the mouth must be
washed swab made by twisting a
piece of sterile absorbent cotton on
the end Of clean stick should be
used. Dip this in warm boiled water,
and wipe the gums very carefully.
Never put a finger inside the baby's
mouth unless in an emergency.
The ears, although they need
certain amount of attention, must be
dealt with carefully. In washing
the external ear use a soft rag, but
never attempt to introduce any hard
instrument inside the ear to clean
1t. Always dry the ears and creases
back Of them very carefully.
How To Lift Baby.
Even such. seemingly simple
thing as lifting the baby has a right
and wrong way. To lift a young
baby, in the right way, slip the left
hand under the back beneath the
spreading the fingers in
such a way as to support the neck
and head, and lift the feet and head
with the right hand. Never lift the
child without thus supporting the
spine. When a baby has learned to
hold up his head and has gaind con-
