 szS is not merely an expedient for pro- teeting the enthusiast, the alturist, the levotee Under the old system many a man felt strong impulse to enlist, but controlled it. He felt no fear of Luden- dorff, but he was little afraid of the man next door.
 Jones wanted to enlist He did not feel that his wife was entirely dependent on him. She had some money, and her folks were willing to look after her. So were his, for that matter He had just enough of the ingredients of an eXemp- tiontion claim to put 1t over, but he didn't think he ought to.
 Smith worked with Jones on the same job. He had as good claim to exemp- tion as Jones, and no better, but he was less Quixotic He meant to use it.
 If Jones went to the front for three years Smith would stay on the job, and through the scarcity of hired help would get many promotions. When Jones came back to the iob-if 1t was still open Smith would be his boss And Smiths wife would take care that Jones' wife did Tt forget it.
 So Jones stayed at home-and you can't blame him.
 By the new arrangement the Govern ment gets both Jones and Smith. It will probably get all the Smiths and JoneSes pretty soon, unless they are under eigh- teen or over fOfty-flve.

done by both official and volunteer
workers to stamp out the disease and
alleviate its effects.
Already this month the Women's
Motor Corps have responded to mo-s
! than 500 emergency calls. They have
been on the job night and day. Some
drivers have reported a total of more
than 100 hours work a week. Sew
eral have worked thirty-siX hours at
a stretch. They have taken patients
from mansions and novels, from canal
boats and hotels. They have not
baked at a single order or flinched at

tients weighing over 200 pounds to en-

was PROSTATE with the disease.
