REGISTER ALL MEN p TO s5; LAW
YERS OFFER ASSISTANCE

The Monroe County committee
finished up all preparations for
Registration early this week with
deputizing of all principals as
chief registrars and teachers as
registrars. Deputizing on the
keys was handled by Judge E. r.
Lowe, peace justice, who was au-
thorized by Mr.. Sawyer to per-
form that task upon a visit here

Late today it was announced
by Superintendent Melvin E.
Russell that the Monroe County
Bar Association, including men,
bership of twelve Key West law
yers, had voted cooperation with
Registration officials at a meet
ing today The committee was
asked to call on any attorney in
any capacity tomorrow.
BY governors proclamation, to-
morrow is a school holiday, with
all school teachers contributing
services as registrars to ask the
questions on the registration
cards.
The Selective Service Registra-
ton committee ends its job
on Thursday with delivery of
all cards to the chairman, Mr..
Sawyer. 1t was thought sections
of the mainland. at Flamingo and
Cape Sable, would not be able to
complete the registration for an
other day or two, but other key
territory would probably not eX-
perience any trouble in finishing
work tomorrow as will Key West.
Following tomorrOw'S work,
the permanent Draft Board will
take over the job of classifying
all registrants This board met
in Miami yesterday to receive
instructions on correct procedure
to follow in its work Chairman

All young men between the
ages of 21 and 35 are required
by national law to report to any
of the county's schools between
the hours of ZOO a. m. and 900 p.
m. to answer a series of queS-
tiOns to be put by teachers who
have been sworn in as registrars.
Committee officials estimated
today that anywhere from 1400
to 1900 will be registered tomor-
row, figuring on national aver
ages released by army experts on
the subject.
HighlightS of today's develop
ments in preparation for Regis
tration Day included the an
nouncement that all Federal
workers at Fort Jefferson ar
rived in the city today to regis
ter tomorrow, and Qualification of
many questions asEsdaChairmaa
Ross c. Sawyer was requested
these being:
/. How about those that are
too sick to report at a school?
Regulations require that a rel
ative or friend of the sick person
report at any school There, he
or she will be deputized, given a
card to take home to be filled
out there, in the presence of that
person.
2. How about those who are
at sea-On sponge or fishing
boats, or on commercial ships?
These, it is explained, are in no
danger of prosecution if they re-
port Immediately to the Draft
Board following their return to
shore.
3. Age limits are exactly
what? From 81 to 35 means that
all men who are 81 years of age
tomorrow and are not Sc. Even
if the 21st birthday is today and
the Both birthday is observed on
October II, these persons must
report.

ADVERFIsING I'D PRICEs

The ideas gets into some peoples
minds that advertising adds to the
cost Of goods, II is sometimes said
that il is cheaper to buy at non-ad-
vertised stores, because they don't
have to pay advertising bills.
That idea shows misconception
OF the way advertising works. Adver-
tlsing draws people into the adyertis-
ed stores, and they buy more goods
there. The volume OF sales OF such
concerns is greatly enlarged. That
reduces the cost per article of the
goods sold. The cost of advertising
is thus far more than Offset by the
greater economy of doing business

one cause Of automobile accidents
is the habit in which many drivers
persist of following cars too closely
when in line. Many young drivers
who have never had experience with
accidents are liable to this fault.
The brakes on modern automobiles
are wonderful. They have been
greatly improved. which gives many
drivers feeling Of Over-confdence.
The impossible can't be expected Of
any mechanism
The reason why some drivers
leave too little space in the line is
that they are afraid some car in
back of them will cut in and pass
them. They would better lose their
place i'm the line than obtain one for
their car in the repair shop. A fair
space ahead of them will enable
them TO stop gradually IL the car
