Many and numerous have the calls
been made for the Negroes by our

made before this war is over. Get
yourselves ready for the effective

away. 4
An auto on exhibition at the fair
grounds was equipped with receiving
apparatus and necessary relays and
automatic switches for throwing on
and off the electric current of the
self-starter and magnetic. An auto
matte switch was provided to allow
the car to run for As seconds, after
which the magnetic was cut off,

ton being repeated at 55-minute in

tween is and IS.

Washington, Aug. 12-Aroused over
the urgency of the new Man Power
bill, by which the military age is to
be extended Senate leaders today took
steps to call members back to Wash
ington from their summer holidays to
enable the Senate to reconvene next
Thursday. kilograms were sent to-
night asking absent Senators to re.
turn to the capitol by that day.
The move to break into the summer
recess, which was to extend to Aug.
"a. came after Senators Reed OF Mis-
souri,. Chamberlain OF Oregon and
others had talked on the Senate floor
of the necessity of augmenting the
American forces in France so as to in
sure the preponderance of strength
for the Allies.
The Military Affairs Committee VIII
be ready, Senator Chamberlain aN
nounced today, to report on Secretary
Bakers draft bill on Thursday, and
he urged that the Senate take 1t up at
once and rush it through. so as to lose
no time in providing the increased
army. The measure, broadly, will fol
low the suggestions OF the Secretary
of War and the Chief of STAFF. 1t is
likely that the committee will recon-
mend that the draft ages be extended
