NEW DRAFT RULES
FOR KENTUCKJANs

Men indicted for service with
local and district draft boards as
stenographers and clerks will draw
$50 a month pay, SIS for quarters,
So for heat and light and $3.50 for
subsistence, a total of $3.50, ae-
cording to word received by Maj. Gen.
Rhodes, State draft officer. Their
minimum work hours will be 0 a. m.
to noon and / to p. m.
Dating from September 1 local
draft board members will draw 81 an
hour and not to exceed so day for
their services. The members will be
placed on scale, according to the
number of registrants in their iuris-
diction. The minimum will be $50 a
month in districts containing 1000
or less registrants, and the maxi
5000 for districts containing 1000
or more. In addition to compensa-
ton for each questionable, boards
VIII receive SO for each registrant
indicted and accepted in camp for
the period prior to September l.
Octoher calls for military SarI-ica
it is announced by Maj. Rhodes, will
take men registered August 81 who
became 81 years old since June 5.
The September calls will exhaust
Glass 1 of the previous registration,
and early October calls will be limit
ed to half of the August registration,
which class probably will be exhaust
ed during the month.

WAR CLERKS NOT EXEMPTED

Secretary Baker has ordered the
chief of each bureau in the War De-
partment to replace by December 81
all men within the draft ages who
would be classified in Glass l, now
assigned to duty in Washington or
in War Department branches else
where, with men physically disquali-
fled for general military service.
The positions thus vacated may
also be filled by men in the deferred
classes where such deferment has
been granted on the grounds of de-
tendency. Exemptions are to be

ceedings and prevent injustice by
making the exemption claims for the
men, it was said Saturday. There Is
a form for such claims in the cues
tionnaire, it was pointed out, and
local boards will find their duties
more complicated if registrants en-
titled to exemption do not claim it
or some interested person does not
make the claim in their behalf.
Details in the appointment of adj
visory committees to each of the
district draft boards to assist the
boards in passing upon exemptions
claimed on occupational grounds,
were discussed Friday at a confer
ence bewteen representatives of the
Provost Marshal Generals office.

department of labor. Draft boards
will name one of the three members
to compose each committee.

WHEN IS A MAN FoRTY-FWE7

When is a man forty-fivef Or,
when is a man not forty live, but
forty-sixf
These questions have been debated
hereabouts quite vigorously for the
past two or three days and some
very intelligent folk have differed
widely in their answers thereto.
OF course somebody had to settle
it, and this the War Department has
done.
A man is forty-five until he is
forty-six.
In other words, dear reader, if you
will be forty-six years old on the
ID of this month, which is next Fri
day think of it, Friday, the 18th,
you will have to enroll your name
with some twelve or thirteen millions
of other patriots between the ages
of eighteen and forty-five and stand
ready to answer your cOuntry's call.
This general registration of the
man-power of the Nation is one of
the wisest things that has been done
since war was declared. 1t is notice
to William the Damned that not only
all of the vast resources of the United
States, in money and in materials,
have been conseerated to the cause
of human liberty the world over, but
that fifteen millions of American
citizens, if need be, will go to the
firing line, supported by more than
eighty millions of people who have
determined that Prussianism must
be wiped from the face of the earth.
This means shorter war by sew
eral years. One mighty army thrown
into the conflict now will greatly
lessen the morale of the enemy and
hasten the end of the struggle. Such
course will save the lives of thou
sands of men who would be sacri-
feed by a more pacific campaign.
All of the forty five year-old men
will not be called and probably very
few of the eighteen-year- old boys
will ever smell the smoke of battle,
but this registration will give to
many thousands of able-bodied men
who are highly desirious of going to
the front full opportunity to partici-
pate in the conflict, and it will also
result in bringing into active serv-
ice thousands of others who have no
reason for not going and who may
require just a little official urging
to get their courage up to the stick
ing point.
Every patriot will march up next
Thursday and register. All others
will be compelled to do so.--Lexing-
ton Leader.

So little is my very all

Fear is experienced only by ami

and species preservation upon flight,
according to DR.. George W. Grille.
The skunk, for example, whose chief
means of protection is its odor; the
porcupine, defended by its quilts I;
the snake, which repels its enemies
by its venom the turtle, which is Sc

and elephant, secure in their su-

little if any fear reaction. On the
other hand, the rabbit, the bird, the
deer, the horse, the antelope, the
monkey, and man-these are the
animals which prominently exhibit
fear and an irrepressible desire to
flee from danger.
Fear is the mental part Of the re-
action by which certain types of ami

TO ENLARGE DRAFT BOARDS

AS an additional step in the pro-
cess of speeding up the draft organ
izations in the endeavor to obtain for
induction into military service in
October men from the draft registra-

General Crowder is planning en-
largement of the local and district
boards wherever necessary.
Announcement was made Satur-
day that General Crowder had tele-
graphed draft executives in all states
asking if an increase in the size of
the boards would hasten their opera

thorized to use additional registrars
on September II.

NO MANS LAND" IS
 FOX'S HEADLINER

NO Mans L-and," the big Metro special adventurous and thrilling replete with excitement is the at traction at Fox's theater today, with several other short and interesting featurettes.
 NO Mans Land" appeals to the love of adventure and life which all have. It is a tiVe-reel picture of Sus- tained excitement and interest. Bert Lytell, the rising star of moving pie lures, is the ideal man for the role of Garrett Cope, a red -blooded Amer iCan. To do all the ''stunts' he per forms calls for strong muscles and a supple body in perfect training, as 1t is not done in show, but must be real to appear convincing on the screen. The sympathy and admira- ton of everyone will go out to this young American who s falsely ac- cuscd of a crime. aud who eventually, in the far South Seas--serves his country and rescues the girl he loves from worse than death. It is not often that play of such intensity and purpose and vital interest is so consistently acted, so do not miss the chance of enjoying to the full won derful Bert LyteII in adventures of NO Mans Land" The "Of1icial AL lied War Review" with the latest collection of scenes from the Allied battle fronts is also shown at Fox's today only.
 Tomorrow's attraction at Fox's theater, is Social Briars'' with Mary Miles Minter, the little blonde angel of the motion picture drama, whose delightful personality affords, pie ture that hardly requires plot, has, at the same time, been given an ap- pealing part in her new star produc- ton, Social Briars' an American Mutual offering.
