In the matter Of the deferred clsss-
ification Of farm operators and work
ers, the Official United States Bulle-
tin of September II, 1918, contains
very important statement by Pro-
vost Marshall General Crowder. He
calls special attention to two facts.
One Of these facts is that the basis
Tor deferred classification requires
something more than the mere filling
out Of q questionaire. "Some one
must indicate that the individual case
il one which should arrest the special
attention Of the Draft board in re-
spect to the registrant's occupational
status" says General Crowder. To
the question, What happens to the
registrant neglecting to state his
claims for deferred classification"
He replied: IF he does not put them
down in his QUESTIONABLE and no one
else puts them down, the claim can
not be considered" The second fact
is that it is the duty of an employer
to aid his necessary employees in a
necessary occupation in presenting
their cases to the board.
Deferment may be granted to three
groups Of agricultural workers:
1. Necessary skilled farm laborer
in necessary agricultural enterprise.
2. Necessary assistant, associate,
OF hired manager of necessary agri-
cultural enterprise.
The chief questions arising in con-
nection with the. first group defer
red Class ~ are whether the enter
prise is necessary" and whether the
laborers are necessary" and skilled.
The regulation Of the war department
are that particular agricultural en-
terprise is necessary only when it is
shown, that it is producing an APP
preciable amount of agricultural pro-
duce over and above what is neces-
sary for the maintenance for. those
living on the place. AS applied to
farm laborer the word, necessary"
means that he is actually and com
pletely engaged in agricultural, that
his removal would result in direct,
substantial, material loss and detri-
ment to the effectiveness of the agri-
cultural enterprise and that an avail
able supply of persons competent to
take his place does not exist. The
board gives consideration to the la
borer's length Of service, his study,
training, experience, "the extent and
value Of his qualifications for the
capacity in which he is engaged" and
the actual conditions which would re-
suit from his removal"
The above plan has been agreed
upon by the war labor policies board,
provost Marshall General, Secretary
az War, Secretary Of Agricultural,
and Secretary of Labor to put into
deferred classification such persons
in the new draft as are necessary in
agricultural, industry and other occu-
pations. Three advisers are to be
associated with each district draft
board for the purpose of presenting
facts relative to the supply Of nee
cessary workers within these three
oecupational groups. The Agricul-
tural Advisers will be nominated by
the Secretary Of Agricultural.

fADS lover There"
Reviving Skirt With Ankle Slit
The Sugar ChateIaine.
Tiny Case Is Used to Garry the Very
Scarce Sweet-Tin Helmets With
Brims Of Straw.

The wool shortage works out differ
emily In London and New York ap-
parently, for word comes recently that
English women are reviving the skirt
with an ankle slit. Skirts must of
necessity be of scanty dimensions, and
one simply cannot wear a skirt that is
only yard and a half wide and hope
to walk with ease. Hence the slit,
states a fashion correspondent. Five
years ago the slit skirt was undoubt-
edly merely a freak of fashion. We
didn't have to wear such narrow
skirts. But now, apparently, it has
come back in London as a matter of
necessity, If not of actual patriotism.
Here, of course, we manage, as we
think, more cleverly. We combine wool
with silk and other fabrics in a way
that makes 1t possible to have the
minimum of wool In our frocks, with
out skirt so narrow as to make the
slit inevitable.
During the sugar shortage last win
ter there were some hostesses who
added line bearing the words
please bring your own sugar" to their
cards sent out to invite friends to aft
ernoon tea. AT least one woman,
who was particularly frank, resorted
to this device when her own sugar
supply had been reduced to zero. But
that Is so long ago, and so remote now
Is any actual famine in sugar, that
we have forgotten all about 1t. 1t
seems now as If wheat was the only

serve. However, in France, and to
certain extent in England, sugar Is
still a scarce article. In parts of
France there simply isn't any. 1t isn't
question of conservation there, for
how can you conserve that of which
! you have positively none?
When there is any sugar 1t is priced
as were costly spices from the Indies
priced in the days when to seek a
short route to such prizes was suffi-
cient incentive to make Christopher
Columbus brave the unknown seas.
French people never knew how much
they liked sweets until now. And
| among the most recently produced
"yanity" accessories for the fashion
able woman's chatelaine is tiny sugar
case. Ii is carried to tea parties. Pre-
sumably, the woman fortunate enough
to have a supply of sugar profits
thereby and drops 1t into her own tea,
while those about her go without. Or
perhaps she takes the sugar box with
her so that she may share her good for
tune with those with whom she drinks
tea.
Just why the women of England
should feel constrained to wear tin
bats 1t is hard to see. Surely there
is no demand for straw In war work.
So In using tin they are not effecting
any sort of conservation. These he'll

and, strange to say. are extremely
light-really lighter than the average
crown made of straw. The tin helmet
