intervening heads What happened to
your red tie, Henry?"
De Spain put up his hand to his
neck, and looked down at a loose end
hanging from his soft cravat. 1t had

DRAFT BIG HELP
FOR MANY MEN
IIurdock Shows How Hun
dreds Secured Additional
Educational Advantages

Pennsylvania furnished 1869 men
for the student officers training
corps and sent 9.577 men to tech
nical schools for specialized training
~ a mechanical character by the OPP
b Grafton of the draft system during
the period of the war. according to
figures made up by Major w. G. Muir
dock, the chief draft officer. In the
case of the men sent. to technical
schools the great majority received
instruction of aivaluable nature and
educational advantages while serv-
ing in the army, said the major in
commenting on the fact that many of
the men sent to such institutions had
been out of schools for sometime.
The total number of men furnish
ed to the several student officers
camps and the technical schools 'es-
tablished by the army at colleges in
Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, Easton,
Erie, Lancaster. State College> and
other places, was 1926. The men
sent to the technical courses were
all white men. qualified for general
military service and with grammar
school educations as first require
ments. They were inducted or draft
ed under twenty-five calls and many
of them are serving with the army
in France or in charge of repair and
maintenance work of motor trains,
vehicles and army property at var
ious camps and stations in this
country.
According to a financial state
ment just completed Major Murdoch
dlsbursed S1,7979s3.71 in 24,405 bills
incurred in the administration of the
draft system in Pennsylvania. He
says with Approximately 225.O0O
men inducted into the service the
cost per man to date is IS, but 1t is
estimated that by the time all bills
are paid the average cost per man
will be about S1O.." 1t was neces-
sary to return to local boards for
correction approximately 10000 of
the $4,000 paid.
Local boards are being asked to
expedite the classification of the reg
istrants within the limits to be listed
and to prepare for the final induction
report.

Ida YOcum Received
Attention From Nurses

A statement was issued to-day by
Miss Mary w. Miller. of the Visiting
Nurse Association. in which denials
are made concerning the treatment of
Ida Yocum, 2249 Jefferson street,
whose case was cited in the local
papers recently. The statement is
signed by Mary w. Miller. and states
that the visiting nurse bathed her,
changed her clothing and gave her
to June, 1918, a period of eight
months. Later she was admitted to
the Harrisburg Hospital for special
treatment, and was there for forty
three days. The superintendent then
adds: "She was then under our care
until she was able to take care of
herself. She is now able to battle
herself and clean her room. but she
needs institutional care. The directors
of the poor refused an application to
admit her to the County Home last
June"
