One Family "Does Its Bit"

1t is not very often that these mem
bers Of one family take the town by
storm simultaneously, but this. says
the Christian Science Monitor. is the
record of the Geddeses-push-and-
Geddesses, they have been termed. Sir
Eric Geddes has not long become first
lord Of the British admiralty; he has
done n great many things and aston
ished vast number of people since
the war began; his brother. DR.. Camp
bell GcGdcs, is row the head of ma
tiOnal recruiting on a civilian basis
to be intruSted with the writing Of a
fresh chapter in the history of recruit
ing at this stage of the proceedings
is In itself the highest testimony to
high qualities. The third Geddes to
win prominence is the sister of these
two brothers, Mrs. Chalmers Watson,
who, after performing valuable serv-
ices in France. has now become COM
mander in chief Of the new Women's
Auxiliary Army corps, whose numbers
will probably quite shortly run into
six figures.

see that every member Of your family

Fossil Oceans

Great bodies of salt water are en-
countered by a large proportion of
the wells sunk to depths below 1000
1eet. The flow may be so great that
the driller thinks he must have
struck the Gulf Of Mexico or some
other immense body OF salt water.
The supply is so great that only a
pump of enormous capacity can keep
the we'll empty. This salt water ia
generally contained in some bed of
unusually porous rock. and it is moth
ing less than the remains of a pre-
historic ocean entombed among the
strata. Says School Science and
Mathematics (Mt. Morris, ILL.,, Mo-
vember). abstracting material in a
recent folio issued by the United
states Geological Survey:
How did this salt water get into
the porous rock? Has rain-vater

ItaIy's Aerial Tramways.

Before the war the aerial tramway
was utilized in various parts of the
world for transporting materials across
chasms and up mountain sides. but 1t
remained for the Italians to adapt it
to their necessity of negotiating the
sheer heights in Alpine warfare ac-
c"rdinS to the National Geographic
Magazine. A young engineer of Milan
iS credited with having first suggested
lis present use. but ii seems to have
exceeded in usefulness his widest

CROWDER CLEARS
HAZE ABOUT DRAFT
FOR LOCAL BOARDS

Provost Marshal General Crowder
today cleared up many points in the
execution of the draft that have |
been bothering the local boards OF
the District since the missionaries
have commenced fiItering in from
registrants.
The chief matters dealt with are
those of proper classification Of those
who have dependents, as follows:
"First-Subdivision A class four,
is the residuary class for registrants
whose wives or children are mainly
dependent on them for support. and
this applies to a widower whose own
children are mainly dependent upon
him for support.
'Second-If a registrant has both
q wife and child, but there are such
other sources of support available
that the removal of the pegistrant
will not deprive the wife of reason
reasonably adequate support, he is to
be placed in subdivision "A Of class
two.
''Third-If a registrant has a wife
but no children and there are such
other sources of support available
that the removal of the registrant
will not deprive the wife oof reason
ably adequate support, he goes into
class one as not being included in
any other division of the schedule.
''Fourth-Many boards seem to be in
doubt as to what to do when it ap-
pears that the soldiers pay and war
risk allowances will provide an ade-
quate support See rule i, page "a
and the last paragraph of section al.
Reasonably adequate support cannot
be determined by a rule of thumb.
but must be determined with common
sense and sympathy in the facts Of
each individual case.
What would be adequate support
in one locality or in one set OF cir
cumstances might not be adequate
support in another. The question. OF
adequate support must be- determined
by the boards after careful considera-
ton OF the interests of the depend
ents-on the one hand and of the Gov
eminent on the other, and with the
thought always in mind that the pres,
emit classification scheme is designed
TO raise our armies with a Aninimum
of hardship and suffering to those
who are to be left at home"
