used to be popular loafing place aft

They were made up of young men

only place that has suffered from the
draft law. Most of the young men
have disappeared from the surround

furnished it's quota. Dillon has

SUCCESS OF NEWARK

Early in August, 1917, Mr.. Edward

of Newark might spend their unoccu-
Diec hours at central plant in con.

ter consumption. Women we're to re-

pGrod beginning April 26 under or
dcrs sent to State governors today by
