Provost Marshal General Crowder
who recently announced that work

all draft registrants, also has ap-
proved the movement instituted by
the Maryland Governor Gen. Crow
der has expressed the belief that an
extension of the policy to those i'm
mediately below the draft age and
those above draft age will aid not
only in enforcement of the policy as
regards those within draft age, but
will be factor in winning the war
through compelling those exempted
for physical reasons from the draft
and those outside the draft to become

On the Screen
Many Kinds of Fishing
Shown on the Film at
Carnegie Hall

"Angling On the Screen" is the name
of motion picture which was shown
at Carnegie Hall last night by "The
American Angler"
DR.. Allen S. Williams presented the
pictures and furnished the oral part of
the entertainment; but the doctor is a
speaker after our own heart. He has
no lecture prepared; he just talks
along as the pictures appear and his
humor appears to be quite spontane-
Gus.
First comes swordishing in the Pa
cifc, and this is called "the Sport of
Kings" because of the scarcity of this
particular kind of fish.
Then comes "The Land of Silence" a
particularly beautiful picture of a
mans search for forgetfulness of the
worlds cares. Indians are shown fish
ing in their primitive way on the CO.
lumbia River, and up-to-date fishers,
wearing "the latest fishing styles" An
other picture is called "Fish Is Fish"
Some of the pictures are wonderful
nature studies. They are done in
colors by the Prizma process and
show an alligator hunt in Florida.
They are named Strange Sea Life"
"The Fisher Folk Of Japan" and "Shark
Fishing in Florida"
The pictures are so interesting that
one forgets they are primarily educa-
tional. The titles are extremely we'll
done; for instance, one of them says
Does it seem possible that man can
be so strong in the legs and so weak in
the head that he will stand all day in a
rocking boat and throw thread out
into the water? But when you catch a
fish, oh. amt it grand and glorious
feeling" Fl. u.
