HEARD AND SEEN

Here are two bright bits shining
out from the days work:
One Is the cheerful declaration by
MISS MAE V. D0SNELL that she
believes Washington is an honest
city.
She lost q watch and pin in the
J Capitol Grounds, and having adVer-
tised her loss, received her treasures
from the hands Of a little girl who
said she was MARGARET SULLI-
VAN and that she lives at 7O4 E
street northeast.
even when 1 had found that
had lost them" says Miss Donnell, Il
had q premonition / would recover
them, for somehow had the idea the
people In Washington are honest
and now this instance confirms my
belief"
The other bit concerns REESE
HEYMAN. He passed a bunch of
folks waiting for a car at Ninth
street and New York avenue. Cars
were tied up and there was an air
Of impatience everywhere
A young woman asked Reeee to
take her down to the new Govern
ment offices at Nineteenth and D
streets. Said she was in stew for
fear she'd be late. So Reese took
her in, having first assured her he
was NOT a jitney driver.
Later he was arrested for run
ming too near a car. After taking
the young woman to work he rolled
back to the First precinct station and
explained his error to CAPTAIN
FLATHER.
"You were doing charity work,
eh?" said the Captain. "Case dis
missed"
HARRY SCHOFIELD says he
was awakened the other morning by
the incessant whistling of a large
and vigorous partridge just outside
his window. He lives at Thirtieth
and NJ streets, and that's fairly well
inside the city walls for wild game.
And last night, Just as was going
in the house, a great big jackrabbit
jumped right through my legs.
Gosh, can remember when the
only wild game in the District Of
Columbia was a pair of iron dogs m
front Of a red brick house on the
south side Of A street southeast, BE-

 FRONT AND HOME

WASHINGTON, Sept. l2.-"Eyery man between the ages of l9 and 36, unless he is an essential working part of the industrial machinery of the na tion. will be called into service with out delay. This is the decision of Provost Marshal General Crowder The "man-power' bill is law. and its administration has begun. The work of registration and classification will consume just 100 days from superhuman, but it will be accom- plished. The most intelligenty ad- ministrative machinery ever proposed by a nation has already been devised The administration does not intend to repeat Englands blunder by de- Ileting the man-power of industry un- til men must be recalled from the fighting lines to save the situation.
 There mu5t be no more loss iii production" is the word of the govern ment "The wheels of industry must not lack propeling force"
 The now thoroughly organized em- ployment service of the United states department of labor is working with General Crowdcr Philip Trankturtcr, we'll known as professor of law at Harvard. is chairman and director of the United States labor policies board That board is considering the relation of wars demands to indus try and the effect of conditions upon each class of labor. Charles Weave, a well.known New York attorney, whose contact with big industrial problems has equipped him to assume ? national work. is chairman Of the "man-power committee" of Mir Frank furtcr's board, and his task k to see that the new draft does not cripple the production Of fuel and raw ma, tcrials.
 The American Mining Congress. an organization representing n per cent O. production has taken up the work of assisting MT Ncave and is appeal ing to producers of oil. gas, coal and metals to al once check up on all employes-not by number Of classes. but individually. in order that per sonal arguments may be presented to district draft boards in favor Ql de- rerred classification for men absolutely necessary to production.
 Every corporation has in its em, ploy a certain number of men upon hom it must depend for efficiency in organization" said James F Call breath, secretary of the American Mining Congress-. These men. either producing laborers or in manaEemcnt we may speak of as key men and unless these men are kept at their duties the mining industry will tail to produce it's quota of war material.
 The American Mining Congress has tClegraphcd all state and division or EaniZatiOns to urge their members to handle this "manpOwer" problem carefully, in order that General Crow. tcr's instructions. that no essential trained men be sent to the army may be carried out. Thousands of pro duCers are being personally urged by the mining congress not to depend upon the judgment of the labor de partment advisers to district boards. but to be able to present proofs ul reasons for exemption in each ease.
 President Wilson has joined in the plan and will issue an appeal to min CTS and skilled laborers to remember that there are two kinds of patriots necessary to successtully-loulh var-the man on the battle front and the man behind the gun.
