Selective Draft Law Valid.

held valid by the supreme court
of the United States in a unan-
imous decision handed down
Monday. The decision result
ed from thirteen appeals grow
ING out of convictions under
the s~elective draft act. Five
of these cases came from New
York, three from Ohio, four
from Minnesota, one from
Georgia. Four of the cases
from New York were those OF
Louis Kramer, Morris, Becker,
Emma Golrman, Alexander
Berkman, who were convicted
on the charge of attempting to
induce men of draft age from
registering. Fine and peniten-
tiary sentences were imposed
by the lower court which will
now go into erect.
The decision of the court
knocks the prop out from I'M
der a class of cheap politicians
who have taken the position
that the government had no
right to ~conscript men for the,
army. The court takes IKE
very clear and just Position
that when the constitution del
egated the right xdeclare war
to congress right also to
draft msaaffd carry on the war
carried With it. Certainly
a power to put the country in
war without the power to wage
it by bringing to the command
of the government all the nee
essary resources of the country
such as men and material and
transportation, would place the
government in a very impo-
tent position. The trainers of
the constitution were just out
of a war and knew that it
could not be waged without
conservation. This was done
in the revolutionary war, in the
civil war, by both North and
South, it is being done in Eng
land, and in France and in
Germany and all the warning
countries. The decision of
the court was read by the chief
justice, who in upholding the
act said in part:
Congress Can Draft Men.
Here the chief justice recited
the provisions of the act and
the contention of those who at
tackled its constitutionality.
"The possession of authority
to enact the statute" said the
chief justice, "must be found in
the clauses of the constitution
giving Congress power to declare
war; x x x to raise and support
armies, but no appropriation of
money to that use shall be for a
longer term than two years;
x to make rules for the gov
eminent and regulation of the
land and naval forces
"As the mind cannot conceive
an army without the men to
compose it, on the face of the
constitution, the objection that it
does not give power to provide
for such men would seem to be
too frivolous for further notice.
It is said, however, that since,
under the constitution as origi-
nally framed, state citizenship
was primary and United States
citizenship but d~erivative and
dependent thereon, therefore the
power conferred upon Congress
to raise armies was only coter-
minous with United States citi-
zenship and could not be ex-
erted SO as to cause that citizen
ship to lose it's dependent char
acter and dominate state citi-
zenship.'
"But the proposition simply
denies to Congress the power to
raise armies which the constitu-
ton gives. That power BY the

GIRL! ITS YOUR
STEP THAT ATTRACTS
Says Women Pay to Much Heed to
Their Face Instead of
Their Corns.

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what earns more than lovely
step is what charms more than lovely
skin, but your high heels have caused
corns and you limp a little. That's
bad, girls, and you know it. Corns
destroy beauty and grace, besides
corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of every corn by ask
ing at any drug store for quarter Of
an ounce of freezone. This will cost
little but ia sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from ones
feet.
A few drdNs applied directly upon
q tender, touchy corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone is . gummy sub
stance which dries instantly and SIM
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create q youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness.

launch the biggest and best campaign
that they have ever undertaken. The
work done in the Third Liberty Loan

spirit of good fellowship and team,
work that is characteristic of the
Chesterfield women.
Every day as we read the casualty
list in the War News from cover
There" we realize how big part the

So many Of our husbands, brothers
and sons have already gone and a
million more are shortly to be called.
Sixteen and sixty are fighting side by
side Somewhere In France" and we
women in the second line of defense
must not only take the places of our
men that have been called, but must
also keep up their courage and mo-
rale. To do this we must respond to
every call, whether it is War Savings
Stamps, Liberty Loan or Red Cross.
Our Boys" must be fully equipped
armed and fed and we want them to
know that we are back them and do
ing our utmost for them at all times
The war situation is most grave,
more so than the majority of US rea-
NE and we must welcome campaign
after campaign for the cause of vic.
tory and feel that it is our privilege
and opportunity to be able to par
tlclpate in them. Try to make every

Popularity OF voIIey Ball Among Col.
disrs Surprises All Old Base
ball Fans.

What arc the favorite games with
the soldiers In training camps in the
southeastern division? The immediate
response would naturally be baseball
However. this is not correct, according
TO the latest statistical report com.
piled by r. c. Cubbon. Army Y. M. c.
A. physical director for the southeast
ern division. aided BY the the 126 phys
tcal directors In the camps. Their fiR-
ureS Of the number Of games played
and the number of men participating
show that vollsy ball 10 the most pop-
ular Of all sports.
There was a time when baseball was
Inc most popular sport in the camps,
and In the month Of March 1t was
three times as popular as any other
game. but in the following month the
newly introduced game Of volley ball
was taken by the soldiers with the
greatest Of enthusiasm and the report
Of the physical directors In the camps
of the southeastern department show
that, commencing with the month OF
April, volley ball has easily held first
place as the most popular sport with
The soldiers.
This Is very easily understood whep
It Is explained that volley ball can be
played In q very small space about
the size Of a tennis court. The SOL
diers with little practice can become
quite expert In the game. Another fea-
ture Is that all of the players on both
sides are playing the entire time, (no
bench warming) and the games do not
last nearly 80 long as baseball, in fact
not much longer than the average
baseball inning. The only equipment
needed for this game 10 ono ball and
one not.
Playground baseball is another game
that is making 4 great hit with the
soldiers and now ranks fourth in pop
ularity. This game also can be play
ed in q small space. the distances be-
tween bases being only thirty feet.
In this game a large. soft ball Is used
and the pitcher Is required to use the
underhand throw. All the skill of the
parent game Of baseball is required
for playground ball and the playing
has all the thrills and tense moments
that Is to be had In the national past
time.
AS an entertainer boxing is very
much In the limelight in the camps
and like baseball has an immense fol
lowing Of devotees. Providing gamea
Of entertainment is Of no small import

THIS IS THE TRUE
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With q Big
Thought in 1t.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
In Bay City. Mich, received a hurry.
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 4S hours A request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
Q hand and do something for the boys
who we're going to the front. All day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying Bag
after bag received the last stitch un-
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came. and the
woman experimenting the making Of
the bags counted those completed and
announced that II every one Of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls, the little sisters, were walt
ing for her at the door as she de-
parted.

the older of the two, but we can't

to thank you. and we all thank you,
for the work you've done today. You
two have teen q wonderful help, and
that pile of bags wouldn't be nearly 80
big II you hadn't been here. Good
night"
The next morning when the super
intendent came down to unlock the
workrooms for the day she was aston
ished to see the two little girls stand.

"Oh. I'm SO glad to see you'll" she
said. Il thought you said you couldn't
