BIG CREDIT is ASKED.

Adjournment Of Parliament Soon
Makes Big Appropriation Necessary,
London, Aug. FIN asking for vote
of credit Of 100, 900 pounds in the
house Of commons today, Andrew
Bonar Law, chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, said that the largeness Of tho
amount was not due to increased ex-
penditure but to the fact that parlia-
iment was about to adjourn. He hoped,
he said, that mot more than one more
vote would be necessary before the end
Of the financial year.

Devil and tn. Deep Sea.

The source Of this expressive but
rather cryptical proverb is not easily
determined. It Is usually held to have
some connection with the miracle Of
the casting out Of devils ut Cadara and
the rushing Of the possessed swine into
the waters. In Clark's Paraemiologia,
published In 1889, 1t Is quoted as BE
tween the devil and the Dead Sea-"
The meaning, Of course, is that there il
a choice only between two terrible al
ternatives, and/the allusion may be to
some lcng-forgotten incident Of legend
or fiction.

WILL ADVANCE MEN
= IN DRAFT CLASS

A general revision of classifications
under the selective service act was
started Friday by Provost Marshal
! General Crowder, when he telephoned
to the governors of all states order
ing Investigations to determine the
reason for the small number of reg
istrants in class 1 in some localities.
The lists of some boards show an
average far below the national aver
age of 2S.7 per cent registrants in
class l. Some boards even have fallen
as low as 10 per cent.
Thousands of men now in class
should be put in class 1 and 2, the
provost marshal said. The instruc-
tions also ordered investigations to
determine if any men have been er-
roneously put in the upper classes
when they should have been placed in
those lower down
1t is expected that the rearrange-
ment will bring into class more
than 100000 men.
Cases where registrants were mar
ried after passage of the draft act
will be carefully considered and if
evidence warrants classification in
class /, boards will proceed to reclass-
ify them. Married men whose wives
have sustaining incomes probably
will be reclassified. A class /"
week for examination of doubtful
cases is ordered
General Crowder announced that
the class of 1918 registrants will not
be allowed to- enlist in the navy or
marine corps, and that no voluntary
inductions will be granted upon or
der and serial numbers have been as
signed. After numbers are assigned
registrants may enlist if they obtain
certificates from their local boards
stating that they are not within
the boards current quota.
Glass 4, in which, according to Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, there
are thousands who should be advanc-
ed to class l, includes:
A.-Men whose wife or children
are mainly dependent upon his la
Dor for support.
B-Mariner actually employed in
sea service or citizen or merchant in
the United States.
Necessary sole managing, con-
trolling or directing head of neces-
sary agricultural enterprise.
D-Necessary sole managing, con-
trolling or directing head of neces-
sary Industrial enterprise.

BIG LONDON CROWDS
TAKE TO BASEBALL

"As the latest wonder of the world
London has taken to baseball, says
committee on public information
representative in London. "The Eng
lish never before had much use for
our great game. They called it an
exaggerated form of FOUNDERS and
wondered what the noise was all
about, but the American and Cana
dian soldiers in England have been
educating them.
"a regular league of eight teams
has started summer schedule, and
the English public is learning what
1t has missed. Big crowds witness
the game which is played every Sat
urday, and the sport bids fair to
become widely popular. Here's the
way Thomas Burke, the short story
writer, reports a game in the Lon
don Star of May 81:
"L-ast week l discovered baseball.
The match between the army and
navy teams was my first glimpse of a
pastime that has captivated a con-
tinent, and l can well understand its
appeal to a modern temperament. Be-
lieve me, it's the good goods. And
the crowd! l had heard and read
much of baseball fans and their

methods of roofing, but my concep.
tions were nothing near the real
thing. The grandstands, crowded
with army and navy fans, bristling
with megaphones and tossing hats
and demoniac faces, would have made
superb subject for lithograph by
Sir Frank Bragwyn.
The game got hold of me before
the first pitched ball The players in
their hybrid costumes and huge
gloves, the catcher and his gas mask
and the movements of the teams as
they practiced runs shook me with
excitement. Then the game began
and the roofing began. In past years
| have attended various football
matches in mining districts where
the players came in for a certain
amount of Raging, but they were
church services compared with the
furious abuse and hazing handed to
any unfortunate who failed to play
ball.
"" There was, for example, an eX-
plosive, reverberating "A-h-h-h-h-h"
which | have been practicing in my
back yard ever since, but without
once catching its true quality. You
should have heard Admiral Sims, as
college yell leader, with his Alta
boy. Oh, attaway to play ball." and
when they got an error he sure hand
ed the navy theirs.
"'Yes, I've got it. From now on
I'm fan. I'm going to see every
baseball match played anywhere near
London. l shall never be able to
watch with excitement a cricket or
football match after this; it'd be like
a tortoise race. Come along with
me to the next match and join me in
roofing and in killing the umpire. ;"

FOREST TRAVELLERS CAN
HELP PREVENT FIRES

Forest fires interfere seriously with
the pleasure of summer touring in
the mountains. Fallen trees OBJ
struct the roads and trails, and him
der travel, while the smoke clouds
cover the scenery which gives the
mountains so much of their charm.
Most forest fires are the result of
carelessness and might have been pre-
vented. When everyone who visits
the woods is careful with fires the
annual loss of timber and forage will
be reduced to minimum.
The cooperation of the forest ira
velers. to prevent fire is earnestly
requested to keep the mountains
green, to save the forest resources
for the nations use, and to make the
calling of men from industrial work
to fight forest fires unnecessary.

WHAT CATARRH IS

Science has Shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
1t is helping thousands. Try it.
