The first group of states to present part or complete totals all showed well over expectations.
 Five states reporting early today on yesterdays draft registration of men IS to 45 years of age showed totals between 6 and per cent. greater than the estimate made for them by the Provost Marshal Generals office. Officers of Gen. Crowder's staff said, however, that the 13,OOO, 900 grand total expected would not be overrun to that extent, as the states reporting probably had abnormal local condi- tions.
 Gen. Crowder, when he arrived at his office this morning, was greeted by officials of two local boards in Philadelphia, who had completed the work of giving serial numbers to the registrants within their districts, and brought the lists to Washington in person.
 s. J. Buck, chairman of local board No. 40, which had 5,425 registrants and Alfred Heyman, secretary of local board No. 39, with BIAS registrante, brought their returns to the general and explained that they had accom- plished the task of fixing the mum bers to the cards by starting one hour after registration began. l Gen. Crowder then thanked the chairmen heartily, saying speed in the | task of the exemption boards was the | greatest essential now.
 The first reports came from Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, Minneso. ta, Oregon and the District of Colunn bia.

CONDENSED MILK FOR
LITTLE SIClLIANS

The problem of caring for the babies
Of Sicily was one which the Red Cross
workers were almost at loss to solve
until the shipment Of sweetened con-
densed milk came to their rescue A
can of condensed milk would last n
baby a week, for one spoonful, put in q
cup OF boiling water, was sufficient for
a feeding, and so, to many Sicilian
family the terms America" and "con-
densed milk" will always be synony-
nous.
Last February list Of fifty families
Of Italian soldiers was given to the
Red Cross workers In Italy. The fam
lilies were carefully investigated and
registered and the milk was given to
them for the little children, especially
the babies. Mothers came for the cans
and were grateful beyond expression.
But with the coming of warm
weather 1t was necessary to give out
the milk daily, as 1t would not keep
sweet. The mothers brought their
own containers, and the milk was pre-
pared, sugar added, and they were in
structed carefully as to its use. Abso-
lute cleanliness Of receptacles was In
sisted upon, and the homes were Wis
tied in order to make sure that the
milk rations were being backed by
healthful conditions.
Aside from the saving Of the lives OF
the children, the soldiers are happier
and they are better soldiers. now that
they know that their loved ones are
being cared for by the Crossa Rosa.

account obtained here follows:
One day in June, 1916, while the
allies were planning the Battle of the

their last great stand at Verdun, Doc
tor Bryan received an emergency call
at his Office in the American hospital
at Juilly, near Paris. He was told that
distinguished French general"
whose name was not given, had been
seriously injured In his automobile at
Plessis, Belleville, and was thought to
be dying. After treating the injured
man Doctor Bryan motored back. to

and the next morning went over to

regrets. Inquiring at the hospital for

patents lies In the Trading With the
Enemy Act" Under that laws pro-
visions American firms or individu-
ais can obtain licenses to use patents
Issued to Germans and Austrians be-
fore the war. Nearly 10000 such pat
ents have recently been listed and
classified by the federal trade commits
sion. Many of them would be of con-
siderable value to American industry.
There are any number of processes for
making dyes and drugs, as well as
many scientific Notwithstanding old
rubber, for instance, so that 1t can be
remade into automobile tires and 9TH
er articles of commerce. At the time
the armistice was signed only about
100 applications had been made for
permission to use any of these 10000
different patents, partly for the reason
that many firms did not know there
was such law, but mainly because,
as the law now stands, American firms
would have to stop using the processes
when peace was ratified. However, eff
forts are being made to have congress
amend the act so as to make its provi-
sions permanent. In that case there
probably would be rash for many of
the 10000.
Most patents of real value are taken
out by people who make a business
or hobby of invention. 1t very seldom
happens that a man stumbles upon a
valuable invention by accident. Most
of the worthwhile ones are the result
Of long and patient study and expert
menting.
1t is popular belief that Thomas A.
Edison has patented more inventions
than anyone else, but officials say this
Is not true. He has taken out a
great many, however, and as one of
the examiners put 1t, "Not more than
else, maybe, but long ways
better than anybody else."

Heroism of Two Red Cross Doc

Workers During Bombardment.

Just outside the French town OF
Compiegne stands the Chateau Of An

hundreds of years. Its walls and vault

medieval neutrality-suspicious. OF

Tarnowsky and Major Morehead. two
Red Cross doctors, were In charge,
the personnel being French. When
the enemy came within six kilometers
the French authorities ordered the
evacuation of the place, the patients
being removed at night in canal boats.
The two Red Cross doctors were at
their wits ends. Their labors were
circumscribed by human limitations.
There were just four hands and no as
sistance of any kind. But somehow
fate usually intervenes when the need
is direct. So in the nick of time two
American canteen women came over
from Compiegne.
Still, supplies were lacking, and
again fate proved kind. Five heavily
laden Red Cross camions arrived with
