DRAFT WORK REVIEW
Raymond Montgomery To Write Book
on Kansas Response.

The story of the seiective service
draft in Kansas is to be written by
Raymond Montgomery of the adju-
tant generals office. Montgomery
will tell of the work of departments
and boards in this state during the
World war. Almost of equal interest.
tho. Montgomery is digging up facts
concerning a Kansas draft in the Civil
war.
Scores of Kansas orators have ches-
thy told cheering Kansas crowds that
this state never gave a soldier under
a draft order prior to the congress
SIGNAL act of 1917. But the records
are somewhat different. They show
that in the SOS Leavenworth and
Atchison counties gave 1.222 men I'M
der federal draft regulations.
MontCcmery's review of the draft
work will cover in general the work
in Kansas during the recent war. II
viii also reveal some history which
has not been e general knowledge
and will contain a statement of draft
orders when Kansas was a new state.

Inspector feels that this was impos-
sible.
Billiard says that the disturbance IS
an annual affair and that the agita-
ton is no new disturbance. He made
every as,se rtion that the company was
attempting to deal in fair way WIFI
customers and with deliverymen.
The idea Of checking up ice wasted
and prohibiting cash sales was to
prevent deliverymen from making
cash sales. pocketing the money and
making up in shorting ticket Gus
toners, Billiard says. The delivery
men are paid a salary plus a bonus
for amount of ice handled. He says
that the deliverymen are not charged
for shrinkage out Of this bonus.
Wagons Are Reloaded.
As to customers at the end Of
routes getting pieces more under
weight than those at the beginning OF
runs. Billiard says that the delivery
waEons-are kept out on the runs dur
ing the day and that they are sup
piled by large motor trucks. The
trucks leave the factory loaded with
ice. find the wagons on their runs. and
are back at the factory for another
load in less than an hour. No appre-
ciable shortage occurs in this feature.
The wa CONS. after loading. continue
on their runs for various periods Of
time. If the customers take a large
number Of rs pound pieces. delivery
is slowed up and shrinkage occurs. If
100 pound pieces are distributed, the
time Of the trip is shortened.
The method used by the men in cut
ting up 800 pound blocks of ice, into
pieces Of the desired size, proba bly,
does not result in entire satisfaction
Provided the piece had not melted ap-
preciably and the cutter was efficient
and accurate, the customer would
stand a fair chance Of getting very
close to the amount of ice he gave
tickets for. or the amount he ordered.
But IL shrinltage had occurred in the
blocks that had beeH in the wagon.
on the run the longest. and il I'M
doubted would occur in very hot
weather. then il the cutter used the
same method of estimating where to
cut the block, judging il by its size,
the same method would result in the
blocks being short in proportion to
the shortage that had occurred in
the large 500 pound block.
The only way to obviate this would
be to use scales on Al wagons. Very
few of them are no1 equipped with
scales. Billiard says further. that the
time wasted in Weighing ice would
increase the amount of shortage, and
the price of ice would have to be ad-
vanced more than it is alleged GUS
toners are paying for underweight.
This means that. If it Is true, as the
food inspection departments asserts.
customers are paying for about 4
per cent more ice than they actually
receive. then II the Weighing system
were instituted the cost of ice would
have to be increased to more than
this alleged loss with the possibility
that a little shortage might occur

St. Louis No. July 16.-Restora-

heaters was urged today in an address
by Miss H. Anna Quinby. attorney of
Columbus, Ohio. Miss Quinby made
the address before the joint conven-

beat their wives into insensibility over
slight controversies and who then
escape with reprimand."
Miss Quinby cited wife beating
cases which recently occurred in Co
lumbus.
She called upon the joint convention
to work for legislation to restore the
whipping post.
