$4,000 DRAFT MEN
START MOVING TO
CAMPS TOMORROW

Plans were completed today for
the movement beginning tomorrow
of $4,000 selective service men to
various camps. The movement will
continue for FIVE days and every
State will furnish quotas with the
exception OF Iowa and Minnesota
Provost Marshal General Crowder
declined TO give the names of the
camps where these men will be
trained, but it is known that Camp
Meade, Camp Dix, Camp Upton, to-
gether with some OF the Western and
Southern camps will receive men in
this now call TO the colors.
Several thousand colored men fig
ure in this call, but no information
Is forthcoming as to where they will
receive their training.
This movement OF men to camp
winds up the first draft of $4,000
men and brings out $4,000 that viii
be credited on the so-caIled second
draft.

Three immense Golfer dams which
will dewater the foundations for the

construction yard, completely equip

ready to go into the water. These
giant Golfer dams will be 145 feet

The engineers put in every possible
hour during the winter in making

to prevent interruption to traffic.
The new bridge has long been re
garded as a necessity, owing 10 the
age OF the AQueduct bridge and the
constantly increasing traffic to which
the latter is subjected. This traffic
has grown enormously since the war,
owing to the Importance OF Fort
Myer as an army post center, and IL
is realized that the construction OF
Key bridge must be speeded up.
Had not the war come on Congress
would probably have already provided
funds for the celebrated Arlington
Memorial bridge, already authorized
by that body, but not appropriated
for. II Is to be the most beautiful
bridge in the world, crossing the Po-
tomac from the Washington end near
the foot OF New York avenue. A COM
mission was provided by, Congress to
have charge OF the work, and Colonel
Ridley, superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds, was made sec
Rotary of this body. Until Congress
sppropriates money, as IL intended to
do, the project cannot, OF course, go

Songs. Old and New.
The Seder opened with a standing
toast to the President and the singing
Of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and
through the evening. at every pause
some song would spring up and spread
to a swelling chorus. Old Hebrew
songs that have been sung on the first
night OF Pesach since civilization be-

songs from the camps. The Hebrew

sung at the Seder swelled alongside

der way, with $50 men at work, and

doing the work by day labor, the bids
OF contractors having been so far
above the appropriation by Congress

Tho probabilities are that the
bridge VIII eventually cost consider
ably above $1,000. 900. owing to the
rise in prices Of material and the pay
of skilled and unskined workers. But
the plans approved by Congress orig
inally are not to be altered, and the
work will proceed until the appropri-
alton is exhausted.
Captain Tolman said today that IL
Is the hope of the officers engaged
that the bridge can be completed and
be made ready for traffic by the fall
of 1920, giving three good working
seasons. The work Is SO well ad-
vanced now that there IL good reason

AUTOMOBILE PRICES
TQCODOWN SLOWLY

Automobile prices are not likely to
change very much now for some time
in the opinion of some of the leaders
of the automobile industry
John \. WHY'S, president of the
WHY'S Overland company, made the
prediction that the automobile demand
during the next two years will be very
large.
The stocks of used cars are cleaned
up said Mr. WHY'S. Many people
have postponed buying cars they want
and need until they could be assured
that the driving of cars would not be
restricted. There is a pent-up demand
that will take a long time to fill. Be-
sides the uses of motor cars have null
tiplied, making the normal require
ments even greater than before.
With this heavy demand, plus the
high price of materials and high wages,
l see no chance of any considerable
change in prices in the near future.
Material prices and wages are not
likely to come down in a hurry. With
the passing of the first furry of un-
settlement of prices which followed the
signing of the armistice there is now
noticeable steadying of the market"
In the opinion of Mr.. WHY'S this con-
dition will continue with gradual and
slight downward tendencies spread
over a long period

chlnery, but equipment supplies and
goods in unheard- of quantities. If it
had not been for the business genius
of America the task would have proven
too big-we would have been scared
at the beginning.
1T is now history how we met this
demand that eventually brought the
World-War to an end not in five, seven
or even. ten years as estimated, but in
eighteen months.
How was this accomplished? First,
by concerted action on the part of
Americas industrial forces. We all
turned our equipment. facilities and
industries over to war work. The way
we went about it was reminiscent. in
many ways, of our waging commercial
war. We looked upon the battlefields
of Europe as a waiting market, a place
where the demand for American made
equipment was already established All
We had to do was to manufacture and
ship the goods.
why cannot America adapt this les
son of winning the war by circling the
globe with American made automo-
biles? In every part of the world there
exists an unlimited field and one might
say, an already established demand for
them.

NJ. P. TIRE IS BEST
SELLE RW|TH VANS

we find that NJ. p. tires are our
best sellers said Mr.. Morey of Vans
tire house. They are made of the best
possible material used in the construc-
ton of cheap tires, and having a $500
mile guarantee, many motorists are
pleased to be able to get such a piece
of rubber at low price.
One of the greatest causes of de-
fective and short-lived tires here is
running them across the ruts along the
car tracAs of the city in a careless and
negligent manner. Especially is this
done by women drivers, who in cross
ing the tracks often fail to make the
crossing at right angles. In that way
splinters are often picked up and the
tire weakened by side scraping. Great
care should be taken not to parallel
these tracks with one or more tires
running in the ruts, as this soon weak
ems the sides Of the tires.

One who watches her can't help being
reminded of many men and women
who brag loud and long of the attain
ments OF others as if they themselves
were the ones to be praised and had
done the good deeds.
One is inclined to doubt if boasting
is ever a good thing, if it is not always
foolish, even though one has something
of which to be proud. If one boasts of
wealth. or what one possesses, the
mere fact of mentioning it results gen.
orally in lowered estimation of the one
speaking. If one feels one should have
credit for ability to acquire wealth,
one will be far more likely to be given
that credit if one keeps still and does
not shout aloud the claim. If it be

JAPANESE ATTACH
IMPORTANCE TO FANS

New Orleans Times Picayune.)
At first you will find it a little hard
to realize the. immense Importance
which the Japanese allies attach to
their fans. 1t is no eXaggerationto say
that in Japan everybody carries fan,
and fan means a great many things
according to its use.
There is an enormous variety of
Japanese fans. The cheapest and most
usual forms are familiar to every one
One of the most curious varieties is
the iron war fan. This was invented
in the eleventh century for the use of
military commanders, either for direc-
ton of their soldiers or as a shield for
defense. 1t is made Of leather or iron.

the war is a familiar story to the bust

country. They know that it was our
unlimited resources, in not alone men,

there will not be a country in the world
