SMALL CHANGE
 FOR STAMPS

The Farmers Bank, in order to stimulate the purchase of thrift stamps among the children, announc- es that 1t will accept nickels and dimes in payment for thrift stamps from now on. Many children have a number of these Outside money pieces, which cheechacoes coming in have given them. or which they have brought in themselves, and now they are given chance to purchase thrift stamp. and save money with this hitherto useless wealth. and at the same time help out the govern ment. Every quarter which pur- chases thrift stamp, even If 1t is made up of nickels and dimes which are as strangers in foreign land in this part of the world. goes to help win the war. and is doubly ac- ceptable on that account.

MOBILIZATION
 OF LABOR NOW
 IS COMMENCED
Associated PressI

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.- Under the leadership of Secretary of Labor w. B. Wilson, the great campaign for the mobilization of B. 000,000 workmen was started here this afternoon. The activities will be conducted by the United States employment service and will be con- ducted throughout the entire coun- try.
 It is expected that hundreds of labor exchanges will be immediately set up and workmen for all i'm portant war industries, munitions and agriculture will be recruited on a grand scale. Great care will be exercised to prevent an. over supply of labor at some points and short ages in others. An even supply of workers for these industries is aimed at.
 WOMEN NOT scAss
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.- The newly formed labor administra- tion has announced that it will in- augurate the enforcement of a policy which will prevent the introduction of woman labor into positions for which men are available. It also declares that no reduction in wages will be permitted where women are employed to replace men. Women doing mems work will receive wages paid to men in similar positions. This announcement is thought to have been caused by charges that some corporations were seeking to employ women to replace men on ac- count of being able to secure them for less money. It is not the inten- tion of the new administration to al. low the women to be used as in- struments to force a decreased wage schedule in any industry.

NEW DESTROYER BREAKS RECORD
 ON LONG TRIP
Associated PreSSJ

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.- The navy department is jubilant over the excellent record made by two of the new American destroyers, which were recently turned out by a Pacific coast shipbuilding corporation, in travelling from the Pacific ocean to the Atlantic.
 One of these destroyers set a new endurance record for the ten and one-half days time consumed on the trip. For this time, an average speed of nineteen knots an hour was maintained. This is the best record ever made. The time con sumed by the other vessel was only slightly less, and the department is exceedingly well satisfied with the showing made by the new boats. The shipbuilders also set a new record for construction. It was only fifty-one weeks from the time the contracts were let until the vessels were turned over to the government.

MAXIM HASPLAN
 STOP TORPEDOES
Associated Press)


 1 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. IA Hudson Maxim, the celebrated invent or, today submitted plan to the senate military committee which he believes will prevent the loss of ships struck by torpedoes. The plan as outlined will probably result in delaying the turning out of ships, but if successful would undoubtedly save millions of dollars worth of property.
 In order to offset the torpedo ex- plosions, he proposes to line all ships with steel tanks containing water, this having the effect of localizing the explosions. He said that con- crete ships are the best for resisting torpedoes. and advocated concrete skins for all steel ships.

DEPARTMENT TO CHANGE FORMER
 DRAFT RULINGS
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.- Further changes in the present draft system are seen as a result of the recommendation made today by Sec retary Baker to the senate military committee. He stated that the war department Is in favor of discharg- ing from draft liability all men who have passed the age of thirty-one who registered last June.
 This will mean that practically as many men will be released from draft obligations as will be obtained by the proposed continuous regis. tration. Those who have attained thirty-one since June and who have already been called to the colors will not be included in the new sys. tenn, but only those who registered but were not called.
 It is thought that Chairman Cham. berlain. although possibly not favor ing the proposal, will embody the suggestion in his bill calling for reg. istration of all men as they reach the age of eligibility.
