CIVIL LAW OF STATE UPHELD
Judge Geiger Maintains District Board
Has Exclusive Jurisdiction in All
Deferment AppeaIs-Students
CorpS-Woman Coach

Milwaukee, Aug. 13.-That there was
no intent upon the part of congress to
set aside the civil law Of the states
when it enacted the selective service
law, and that the district board is
gwen original and exclusive jurisdic-
ton to entertain all applications for
deferment under the selective law, is
the substance of two decisions rem
dered by Judge Geiger in the cases of
Robert Henry and Bernard J. Mac
Donald.
Robert Henry had been arrested for
grand larceny and sentenced to two
years in the house of correction by the
municipal court. He asked for a stay
OF proceedings on the ground that he
had been summoned for military serv-
ice, but his plea was denied. His ap-
peal to the federal court is likewise
denied by Judge Geiger's decision re-
fusing to grant writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that congress intended
to recognize continuation of civil au-
thOrity until such time as it saw fit to
formally announce such authority was
superseded by military law.
Macdonald had been placed in Glass
lie by local board 10, Milwaukee, early
in the spring. Upon becoming man
ager of a farm in Sank county he APP
pealed for deferred classification on
agricultural grounds, but reclassfica-
ton to Glass &c was not made until "A
hours before Macdonald was to have
entrained. He was unprecedented and
brought into court by the local board
on a charge Of desertion for his failure
to answer the call.
The court held that jurisdiction by
the district. board in regard to deferred
clasSificatiOns was complete up to the
hour nf actual induction into military
service. On the ground that MacDon-
aid had obtained proper deferment
from the district board, Judge Geiger
granted the writ and discharged Mac
Donald.

Sleep is the gift Of God. We think
we lay our heads upon our pillows and

God put his fingers on his eyelids; did

Jerry MusNat Remembers
Something.
Best Of plans VIII meet defeat
Unless al details are complete.


That is the reason so many SEEM
ingly splendid plans never amount to
anything. The idea may be the finest
ever. but 1t is bound to fail unless
each separate detail in it is worked
ont and made perfect. If one of these
would fail.
Jerry Muskrat, in planning that new
house for Reddy Fox. was sure that
he had thought of everything. He
had even thought of a way for Reddy
to get in and out of that house by
means of tunnels. just as he himself
went in and out of his own house.
The only difference would be that
Reddy would have dry tunnels instead
OF tunnels filled with water. He
couldn't see any reason in the world
why Reddy shouldn't have just as
good house as his, and he said so.
Now. while Reddy Fox pretended to
he very much interested in the idea
Of building a house. he really hadn't
the least idea of trying to build a
house. OF course not. He had no
could have built it. Reddy's interest
was not at all in the house, but in
getting Jerry Muskrat on shore, where
it would be a simple matter for Reddy
to catch him. But lie pretended a
tremendous interest in that house
because he hoped that by so doing
he could get Jerry to forget that
there was the least danger and so in
duce him to come ashore to show
just how that house should be built.

BELGIAN LACEMAKERS
AIDED BY RED CROSS
Gives $4,000 for Supplying Ma
terial and Cooperative Society
VIII Be Formed.

PARIS, September 26 Correspond
ence OF the Associated Press).-Lace-
making has always been one of the
chief industries Of Belgium. and many
of those who lived by it are among
the refugees who have left their
country, some $500 of the 10000 lace
makers being now in France and free
Belgium. They have met with great
dificulties, in which the queen Of the
Belgians has been one Of their great
est aids.
The American Red Cross has now
given a sum of 100000 francs, or some
$4,000, to be used as capital for sup
plying the peasant lacemakers with
the necessary raw material The in
dustry is to be formed into a CO.
operative society and the Red Cross
donation will provide a share Of the
stock for each worker.
The scheme will insure fair price
for their lace, as well as a share in
the profits from the ultimate sale Of
1t. By disposing of the lace through
an official committee the lacemakers
will also be saved from exploitation
by middlemen.

this was to be the case, of course. there
would be no mud handy. Without
mud that house couldn't be built. 1t
just must have mud. And there must
be lots of it. A little wouldn't do.
But unless Reddy should build his
he wasn't in the least likely to do,
there would be no way of getting
enough mud to it. Jerry looked up
at Reddy and in the most mournful
voice said:
