Lawyers Fail to Appear
to Help with QueSti0nnaires

Omaha lawyers are slackers, &C
cording to exemption board men,
who report that scores of lawyers,
assigned to give legal advice to
registrants who are filling out their
questionnaires, fail to report for
duty.
Of II lawyers assigned to local
board No. 4 in the federal building
for Tuesday morning, only three
reported. More than 100 registrants
were kept waiting from $50 in the
morning until after noon.
The halls at the Army building
were crowded all day Monday and
Tuesday with waiting registrants
and both Chairman Ure of the First
exemption district and Henry Mey-
ers of the Third complained about
the need for lawyers.
Many of the men are laboring
men who had been given a few
hours off from work to file their
questionnaires.
Exemption board members are
indignant because the lawyers are
refusing to help and they have
threatened to publish a list of the
"slackers" if the men who have been
assigned for duty do not report
promptly.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Temporary Stoppage Of Shipments Brings
About Advance in Corn Market.

Chicago. Sept. 24.-Temporary stoppage
of the issuance Of permits of grain from
country points had bullish effect today
on corn. Closing prices were firm, y Ole
net higher, with October s1.47A Q1.47%
and November s1.45@1.45A. Oats fin
lshed unchanged to A@%c lower. The
outcome In provisions varied from 35c
decline to sc advance.
Inasmuch as the corn trade had been
expecting liberal receipts the reversal of
this outlook gave an immediate advantage
to the bulls. 1t was explained that official
figures showed too large number of cars
waiting to be unloaded at the eight Lead
ing markets, and that the avoidance of
congestion was Of the utmost Importance.
Some uncertainty as to how soon the clear
ing up of the tracks would allow re-
sumption OF the rural movement led to a
sharp reaction, which was emphasized by
the favorable character of the war news,
but profit taking by shorts together with
a assurance Of decided falling off in sup
plies for the time being brought about
later a fresh upturn in values.
Commission house selling checked ad-
vances in the oats market. Receipts were
small. and in good demand.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Market Broader and More Ac-
tive, but Profit Taking and
Professional Selling
Check Advance.

New York, Sept. 24-In a broader and
more active stock market today the re-
cent advance in prices was repeatedly
checked by profit taking and professional
selling. General influences were consider
ed favorable to a continued advance, but
pressure from special sources weakened
many individual shares. and the general
list moved trregularly In response. Stocks
regarded as essential war Issues did not
respond to the impetus shown elsewhere.
Heaviness in the tobacco and distillery
issues, the latter suffering sharp declines
ostensibly because of federal legislation
favorable to prohibition, was offset to
some extent by the strength shown by
Central Leather, oils. equipments. motors
and some Of the utilities. Central Leather
advanced Q points after declaration of
its 2 per cent extra dividend.
Except in periods Of profit taking the
most popular shares were sustained by
the good war news. United States Steel
reached its highest price of the current
movement at $1.11B. but was subsequent
ly freely sold when 1t became known that
no alteration would be made in the pres
ent prices Of Steel products. Sales
amounted to 100000 shares
Exchange rates on neutral countries
again exhibited dropping tendency. LIB
erty bonds overcame their recent weak
ness, the third ANS moving up so points.
Foreign issues sold higher. with French
municipals especially strong. Railroad
and other bonds continued their down.

"Work or Fight" Law Makes
Husbands Support Families

The work or fight" law is having
an unexpected effect, as P. H. Casey,
county charity administrator, has
discovered.
Prior to the enactment Of the Gin
dustrious" law it was impossible to
compel a lazy husband to support
his family.
Today with the work law behind
him and the United States employ
ment service next door to his office,
Administrator Brice has little diff
fculty in persuading recalcitrant
SWANS to play the man.
When women or children appeal
to the organization for financial aid
now the name of the person respon-
sible for their maintenance is re-
corded and an investigation made,
If it is found that the suspected one
does not do his share of work he
is served with the grim ultimatum
work or fight"
In many" instances he goes to
work, the administrator declared.

Short Weight and Short

A number of typical short-weight
scales and false-bottom measures
were on exhibition in the Office of
the city inspector of weights and
measures in the city hall yesterday
afternoon to give the housewives of
Omaha an opportunity to see the
most common means taken to de-
fraud them.
The dry measures were of two
kinds, those with false bottoms and
those with movable bottoms. Those
with false bottoms have the ordin-
airy bottom with a second bottom
placed above it, with a space be-
tween the two. The dry measure
with the movable bottom is usually
of tin and the bottom of the measure
is not fastened to the sides. This
bottom can easily be pushed up into
the measure.
There was also on exhibition
scale used on wagon for weighing
coal, the hook weight of which was
