HOTTEST
DAY OF SUMMER

Relief is not in sight from any
quarter from the heat wave which
has overspread the country east
of the Rock mountains, bringing rec
ord high temperatures to the middle
west. The heated area today will
overspread the Eastern and Middle
Atlantic states, causing still higher
temperatures than those recorded
today. (
Evansville, Ind, with an official
temperature Of 1O4, was the hottest
place east of the Mississippi yester-
day. Temperatures of 1O2 degrees
were recorded at Indianapolis, To-
ledo and Fort Wayne. The thermom-
eter readings at Toledo and Fort
Wayne being the highest recorded in
the 40 year history of the weather
bureau. Chicago reported a temper
allure of 100 degrees. The heat
wave will be broken only by thunder
storms first appearing in the West,
or by high pressure area from Alas
ka, neither of which are in sight, it
was said.
Breaking all high records for high
temperatures in Mt. Sterling during
the present summer, the official gov
eminent thermometer yesterday af-
ternOon attaind the extreme altitude

SPEEDY ACTION URGED ON
NEW DRAFT AGE BILL

With an urgent recommendation
from Provost Marshal General
Crowder that it be enacted without
delay and a suggestion that Septem-
Der 5 next might be fixed as regis
tration day for approximately 49,
100000 men throughout the country,
the administrations man power bill
requiring the registration for mill
.tary service of all men between the
ages of 10 and As years was intro
duced today in the Senate and
House.
Unless immediate steps are taken
to provide additional men, General
Crowder said the weekly registra-
ton of men as they attain 81 years
of age again will be necessary to fill
the draft quotas after September l,
when only 100000 of the 1918 regis
trants will be available. Upon the
introduction Of the bill Chairman
Chamberlain announced that the
Senate Military Committee would
meet tomorrow to consider the bill.
He said he did not think hearings
would be necessary and only three
or four days should be required to
report the bill. Chairman Dent, of
the House committee, said since only
three members of his committee are
in Washington, it was doubtful
whether the bill could be acted upon
before the House recOnvened on
August 10Th.
The bill would amend the present
selective service act so as to require
registration of all men between Is
and 20 years and 80 and As inclusive.
While the total number of men in
the latter classes would total TO-
028,973 General Crowder estimates
the total number who would be eli
gible for Glass l, would only be COL
236, owing to exemptions for depend
ents or industrial and physical rea-
sons. Between Is and 20 years his
estimates show that 3,171,771 would
register, while 1,7S7,6O9 men would
be eligible for Glass l.
