Mr.. Schwab Wants Draft Exemp'
lions, But Not Blanket Order.

PHILADELPHIA. September IL
The shipyards of the country must
have 2oO,0 more men by January /
II the shipping program is to be car
ried out, according to Charles NJ
Schwab. director general Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. He
will confer with Provost Marshal
General Crowder next Tuesday on the
matter of draft exemptions in order
to get more men for the yards.
Large expectations are based upon
the men in non-essentia1 Industries
coming to the plants. The necessary
men in the yards must somehow be
retained. he said.
Mr.. Schwab. however, does not favor
blanket exemptions for shipworkers.
for he thinks that no group Of en-
ployers should be enabled to hire men
where and when they please and
have them exempted as a class.

LIMITED DUTY MEN
NEEDED FOR CANAL
Chesapeake and Ohio Craft
Operating to Capital Have
Short Crews.

Deferred classifcations will be
sought for Chesapeake and Ohio canal
employees who are subject to the draft.
This waterway, now under the con-
troll Of the government and performing
an important war function in bring
ing coal to Washington. largely for
government needs, also may press
into service men in the Army who
are untitled physically for foreign
duty.
The canal, in common with other in
dustries, is feeling the pinch of the
labor shortage. Unless deferred CLASH
fication can be obtained for its men
operations will be seriously curtailed.
it Is claimed.
Project Being Considered.
The plan adopted by the District po-
lice and fire departments Of obtaining
men from the cantonments who are
qualified only for limited military
duty is being considered by the
officials directing the operation Of the
canal. Inasmuch as the waterway
now represents government activity
it would be possible, 1t is believed, to
man the boats with limited service
men, provided the labor shortage .be-
comes SO acute as to justify extreme
measures being taken.
While all eighty-four boats in the
canal service are now operating,
many of them are running with re-
duced crews and efficient operation is
difficult to maintain If the labor Is
provided this fleet of barges will ply
between Washington and Cumberland,
Nd. until the middle of December
and will augment the local coal sup
ply by many thousands of tons.
The five boats just built by the gov.
eminent at Elizabeth City N. c.,
which are to be placed in service on
the canal, are expected to arrive
Thursday Of next week., They will
be towed to Norfolk by way Of Albe-
marie sound and brought up the river
by a tug.
Representative Frederick N. Zihlman
of Maryland. who first brought to the
attention of Secretary McAdoo the adj
vantages that would be derived from
government operation Of the canal dur
ing the war, was elated yesterday over
the announcement that the carrier had
formally been taken over by the gov
eminent.

-v,rr. .,,erer~e 9tuuy VI various Oe-
signs Will Be Found Helpful to
Prospective Home Owners.

The collecting of clippings from the
real-estate section Of newspapers and
magazines is q practice recommended
by architects for persons contemplating
building a home. The prospective
home builder can obtain many valu-
able pointers as to the relative style
of house which he prefers and is able
to compare the advantages of different
designs. He is then able to explain to
the architect what he wants and the
architect can draw up plans in accord
ance with his wishes.
When saving clippings the client Is
apt to accumulate q lot of ~irreconcila-
BILE details which he wants in his house,
but the architect can adapt the prin-
ciples desired to better effect if he
knows what styles and designs are in
the owners mind. The clipping habit
is usually acquired some time before
the time to build and in the meanwhile
the %selective process is continuing. by
the time the owner is financially ready
to build he has made up his mind as
to the details he would like to have
and the things he would rather do
without.
The illustrations in newspapers and
architectural magazines are valuable
in determining the style of house de-
sired, while the homebuilders' sections
contain many suggestions of use to
possible builders. The saving of these
illustrations and suggestions will en-
able one to get q good idea of what
other builders are doing and keep in
touch with recent developments Of in

Can Overcome Camouflage.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages of camouflage-or at
least certain kinds Of camoufiage-
can be overcome by an opposing army
by providing its airmen and other
scouts with colored glasses or screens
of contrasting colors to use with field
glasses, states Popular Mechanics Mag
aZine. When the colOrs of these
screen are properly selected uniforms
and other objects may be made to ap-
pear in contrast, instead of in har-
mony, with their surroundings, he
claims. Camouflage as practiced in
many cases is accomplished largely by
the Use of paint, objects being given
shades that blend with the landscape.
In spite of certain difficulties thar
would arise, it is believed that such
efforts a* concealment could be render
ed quite Intellectual by the means
Etated. -.
