SENATORS GO SLOW
ON NEW DRAFT BILL
Military Committee Meets To-
day, but May Not Make
Report Till Thursday
HOSTILITY Is EXPECTED

Plan and It May Be Made
Separate Measure.
Special DespatcA TO THk sux.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-There 10 a
slender chance that the Senate Military
Committee at its session tomorrow
morning will take final action on the
bill to Increase 81 to 81 draft age limits
to the new range. 10 to as years. At
the same time In view Of the fact that
there Ia no serious need for hurry the
committee may vote to protract its Sos
sion until Thursday and report the bill
then. 1t will not be delayed beyond
that date.
The Senators have not completed their
committee discussion OF the mea sure. and
no poll Of the committee on the meas
ure has been taken. II Is not known
by Chairman Chamberlain nor any OF
his committee following whether oppo-
nents Of the increases in age limits will

presentation to the Senate by the
Provost Marshal-General.
Test Of Strength on Duty.
Il
there will be a test of strength as to
the Incorporation In the draft army of
men under 81 years for actual overseas
service. The bill AZ drafted IN the
ONCE of Provost Marshal General Crow

ton measure and under it's terms the

Anti-strike Clause in Doubt.
Another reason for possible delay In
the consideration of the bill before tn.
committee tomorrow Is the proposed in

amendment providing that men OF draf

go on strike or for Other reasons decline

Clear Creek Boy Enjoys
Thrills of Flyind

The following letter received by

and as the radiation is different
due to the meterial on which the
sun shines, the ship started to
sink over these woods. I let the

then l nosed it straight up and got
out of it. You can't imagine how
it feels to think you are gone in a
place like that.
After about half hour of thrills,
I got used to them and settled
down and went fine. The sensa-

EVERY MAN HAS HIS STAR
With Use of Coin, to Aid Com
munication, French Say.
perton.

A superstition the Americans have
been taught to respect is that of the
! coin and the star. The French say
that every man has his star, but he
can't secure its influence for good
luck unless he uses coin to put him
in communication with it, observes a
Paris correspondent. If the proper
coin is used the star can be called
on to exercise its protecting virtue,
and once this has been established
there is no reason for the fortunate
soldier to worry further. The ques-
ton in the minds of the Americans
is whether American coin will have
any influence with the stars.
American soldiers have discovered,
however, that the most popular Gus.
tom with the French is that of rub
bing wine or brandy behind the ears.
To many Americans this may seem
an uncalled-for waste of good French
drink, but the French soldiers be-
leve implicitly in the practice.
The proper time to perform this
action, according to the French, is
just before going into battle, when
the wine is passed around to brace
the nerves of the soldiers. No mat
ter how careful the dispenser of the
wine or brandy is, there are always
a few drops dripping from the con.
tainer. 1t is these that the soldiers
are anxious to catch. They hold
their hands underneath and when
the drops of wine or brandy fall on
them they quickly rub the fluid be-
hind their ears. But few Of them
ever rub it on their tongues.

Mining Activities of

which would seem now to be
looking its best. The recently
encountered streak of silver lead
ore continues to improve in size
and value as development pro-
crosses, and regular shipments are
soon to be inaugurated.
While the recent raise in the
price of silver has added much to
the value of the ores that could be
worked at a profit couple of years
ago, 1t has at the same time chang
ed millions of tons of low grade
ore from waste into a profitable
product. These facts should con-
vince.the most skeptical that with
the termination of the war silver
mining will offer the most attrac-
tive of all investme nts.
Murray Bruce and partners made
recent shipment Of 26 tons first
and IL tons of second class to the
Argo mill at Idaho Springs, from
their lease on the Capital mine.
The ore was of the usual grade,
being worth $50 and 500 per ton
in the various metals, according to
class. Their streak holds out and
insures regular monthly ship
ments for a long time to come.

Roberts, d practical miner of ex-
tepsive experience in the various
districts of upper Clear Creek
The main drift is being pushed
and his efforts are rewarded by the
opening up of large body of
quartz, thru which are streaks of
solid ore varying from one to two
inches. The character of the ore
is principally grey and yellow
copper. No assay tests have been
made but ore of like character
