Necessity Of Preserving Order
Here IL Stressed,

A petition to Congress and the mill
tary authorities urging an amendment to
the new draft bill which would exemp.
New York policemen from being called
into the army was forwarded yesterday
to President Wilson, Provost Marshal
General Crowder and tho chairmen of
the House and Senate committees on
Military Affairs by the New York Board
of Trade and Transportation.
1t Is pointed out that adequate police
protection is essential for a city having
more than one-tenth Of all the physically
destructible property in the United
States within it's bofders. and that the
vast quantity of Government supplies
being sent from here to France also re-
quires a police force able to cope with
any situation which possibly may arise.
The cosmopolitan character of its popu-
lation also Is referred to.
"To deplete our police force by the de-
mands of the draft for service abroad
will add to the men under arms At the
'front.'" says the boards letter, but at
tho same time II viii open up exceptional
opportunities for Illicit activities at this
main source OF supply for the Expedi-
tionary Forces OF the United States. We
therefore very earnestly urge that an
amendment be made to the draft bill by
which the city may be assured protection
against inroads upon the police force"

scendant-of the old line chiropodist,
who has been cutting corns IN this

"The curriculum OF this school, requir-
ing nine months Of intensive training.
comprises anatomy. physiology. histol-
ogy. chemistry. bacteriology. hygiene.
surgery. dermatology, materia medica.
pharmacy, pathology. foot
gear. the principles of medicine. prac-
teal pediatry. pedistry. orthopedics.
massage, diagnosis. ethics, instruments
and apparatus. The work accomplished
through nine months in the course pre-
scribed Ii equivalent to two years Of
grooming at q medical school. plus the
features in pediatry not taught In med
ical schools"
To which DR.. Maurice ]. Levi, presi-
dent and founder OF the institute, added
yesterday: Indeed the medical stu
dent IL unlearned in the details Of the
anatomy and physiology Of the foot: he
knows nothing about footgear. nor has
he been taught seriously the hygiene OF
