Of meats may be had in various other |
forms from the department. The safe
practice, however, for housewives who

MAY INCREASE DRAFT
AGE LIMIT FROM Is TO Is.

I r / r
81 Present indications are that Congress
will soon take action to change the
draft age limits from p to 81 years, so
that the draft will include all men
between the ages Of Is and As years.
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear on Congress for an increase in
the draft age limits, and the general
belief among men in close touch with
the situation is that speedy action will
be taken in the matter.
War industries in all parts Of the
country are tagging because, of a short
age of labor. Various branches of the
United States Army, particularly the
Engineers and Signal Corps, are in
need of skilled mechanics and artisans
OF all kinds. The "Work or Fight" law
is expected to relieve the situation
somewhat, but it is doubtful if it will
bring enough men into the Army and
into the hundreds of government work
shops to make army officers change
their plans. Secretary of War Baker,
and Provost Marshall General Crow
der are both emphatically in favor of
the change, and have gone so far with
their plan that a bill already is prac-
tically ready for Introduction in the
House.

Senator Penrose Hits
Railroad Extravagances

Philadelphia, June 24.-Criticism
of the Wilson administration, espe-
cially of the way it is conducting the
railroads of the country and its
"wasteful and improvident projects"

predicts that the Republicans will
control the next House. Four Demo

Railroad passengers" said SEN
ator Penrose, "are now being trans

tie trains. Some of the greatest men
in America travel several times a
week in the service of the govern
men, without compensation, in trains
that are late, overcrowded and eX-

ship.
These conditions are certainly not
necessary from the point of view OF
economy, or from any other point OF
view. While many prominent Ameri-
