men subject to the next draft put in
several months hard work in the

cause them TO be rejected. He says
that a mile run and a little stiff
work with the dumb bells or Indian

DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by curious
cOincidence-for there could not pos
sibly have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, have
told us about the cloths of vegetable
fiber made by the ancients; but in all
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were of even q more remote date. In
some respects the methods of today
bear strong resemblance to the older
practice. The chief difference con-
sists in the patterns now being en-
graved upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed at one time. Just
as today the coloring matter of dyes
is not affixed by merely printing it on
the material, but is secured by means
of substance known as mordant, so
did the Peruvians make use of prop
erty which caused the dye to adhere
and to withstand test of thousands
of years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction of tech
nical and artistic value the designs in
question have no equal.

mines. On the mother lode of Cali
fornia it has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and

instinct of the rats, which warns them
when tunnel is unsafe. And when
the rats leave a tunnel it is almost i'm
possible to get the miners to work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave doomed

rats are much more susceptible than

CLARENCE WILLIAMS
 ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
STRUCK IN BACK WITH 22-CAl- IBRE BULLET WHILE ON OUT ING AT copY-NoT KNOWN WHO FIRED SHOT.

Clarence Williams, son of MT. and Mrs. N. J. Williams, was accidentally shot in the back yesterday afternoon at Cody. A ball from a 22-calibre rifle or pistol, fired presumably by one of several boys who were mem bers of an outing party, struck Will jams just to the right of the spinal cord near the right shoulder blade. It is not thought the wound is a dangerous one, though the bullet has not yet been located. It is not known just how the accident occurred. Four or five boys had gone to Cody ex- pecting to spend the night. They had two rifles and pistol and were doing considerable shooting during the afternoon At the time of the accident Williams was standing on the bridge talking to John Hollen- back. One of the other boys near by fired and the missile struck Will Hams. He was brought to Marianna about eight thirty o'clock and taken to the home of his parents. It is stated he rested well last night and the chances are he will soon re- cover from the injury.

NEXT DRAFT CALL
 TO BE ON JUNE "A
TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND MEN WILL BE IN- QUOTED INTO SERvicE-17, 900 WHITES TO CAMP PIKE.

Little Rock, May 31.-According to orders received at Camp Pike yester- day morning 17,0OO white men will begin arriving in the June draft, June 20, as part of the 220,000 quota for the United States. While no more definite orders were received, it is believed that the 17,O00 for Camp Pike will come from this divisional area, composed of the states of Ark ansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala bama The quotas for each state have not been announced. It is pos sible, also, that other states may send their men here in the coming draft. Tennessee is now sending men on the present draft, but Ala bamans are going elsewhere.
 Nothing more definite than was recently announced had been received yesterday on the establishment of the replacement camp here, and when work will begin is not known. Both the replacement camp and the depot brigade will be organized on the same general plan, each to consist of 12 training batallions, aggregating 30,- 900 men, and both camp and depot will be commanded by brigadier gen. erals. Col Fine w. Smith is now in command of the depot brigade.
 The present purpose of the depot brigade will be continued. The men will be received there, uniformed and equipped and taken through quaren- tine, after which they will be trans ferred to the replacement camp for training.
