10000 LIKELY
QU0TAOF
REGISTRANTS
Larger Number Than Be
fore Estimated Expected
from New Law.

Approximately $4,000 men will
register in the District Of Columbia
with the new draft law. II was esti-
mated by local draft board officials
yesterday. All men who are resid-
ing in the District at the time of
the registration viii register here
and this Is given as the reason for
the increase In numbers over the
estimates given out through the
ONCE of Provost Marshal General
Crowder which placed the number
at $500 men.
Although the date for registration
has not yet been definitely set 1t Is
expected that IL will be within the
first two weeks OF September. It Is
expected that the date of the regis
tration will be set either today or
tomorrow when final action will
have been taken on the bill.
1t Is not expected that Washing
town will be as hard hit by the
draft as cities which are engaged in
more commercial enterprises. Most
of the men who will be required to
register under the extension of the
age limits are employed in the gov
ernment.
The registration cards of this reg
fstration viii call for more informa-
tion as to the personal status than
the cards in former registrations,
Questions on CItizenship.
The twenty questions which are
to be answered on the card are
made up principally with references
to the citizenship of the registrant.
Numerous questions are also asked
relating to occupation. status and
place of employment. and the name
of employer. In order to eliminate
the trouble which the local draft
boards have had in keeping in
touch with registrants. all men will
be required to give the address at
which they customarily receive
their mail
The usual little blue card will be
given the men to show that they
have registered and 1t Is probable
that the men will be given their
Questionnaires at the time of regis
tration. This practice was followed
in the last 21-year-old registration
and a great deal of clerical work
was thus eliminated, and much time
saved.

MAE MARSH FEATURED IN
 FALL WOMAN' MONDAY
ALL WOMAN" GIVES MAE MARSH BIC ROLE-A BIG WEEK AT
 THE CENTRAL.

The infinitevariety of Mae Marsh has often been commented upon. The appealing star delights in erecting her admirers as different girl in her successive photoplays This is simply borne out in her newest Gold wyn production, All Woman" which will be shown at the Central theatre Monday and Tuesday
 The ability of Mae Marsh to grip the heartstrinss of people is perhaps her strongest asset She has curi- GUS appeal, unlike that of any other star before the public today. and sine exercises this appeal in any part she chooses to assume By no means is she weeping heroine, nor does she necessarily make her admirers cry She reaches a higher degree of art. Mae Marsh has the rare ability of making her audience waver between smiles and tears 1t is because she typifies the wholesome. natural. home loving girl seen in thousands of American towns Mae Marsh is a mothers girl" and as such con tributes an absolutely unique figure to the heroines of the screen. Her tremendous appeal to women and children is traceable to this fact
 "All Woman is the story of good girl who tanned a bad town" In no sense is it a western story. nor Is it the tale of a mining camp. the action shifting from toy shop in New York to an Adirondack mountain town Susan, the girl played by Mae Marsh sets fo";h from the city t0 claim an inheritance and dis covers il to be nothing more than desreputable re- sort
 In striving to improve the condi- tions of the men and women among whom she is thrown. the resolute girl encounters hostile people and becomes entangled in racking situa lions For the sake of the man she loves she makes sacrifice calculat- ed to wreck her life's happiness and bring down upon her the scorne of the townspeople This she does un- itnchngy. going so far as to assume the guilt of another in order that the political prospects of the man sne loces may not be spoiled At this moment Susans endurance reaches the breaking point and things begin to happen to bring about solution of her trouble
 Every phase of Mae Marsh's in imitable art is employed to make All Woman" better than anything she has ever done.
