But it didn't Congress has seld
ON given more time to debating any
measure. And there is very good
reason for that. Congress did no
want the draft bill-the great majority
of the Senators and Representatives
voting for it did so with deep regrets
They supported it, in brief, because
they felt that dire necessity deman LED
it. And they know that once the bill
became law, a great and as yet unreal
ize6 change would have come over the
American scene.
This country has always been dead
set against compulsory military serv-
ice in peacetime. It has always felt
that enforcing men to take up arms
when we were not at war was in direct
violation of the democratic process
and the democratic tradition. It has
looked with mixture of pity and con-
tempt on those European nations
where for centuries every able-b bodied
man has been required to give year
Or two of his life, war or no war, to
learning something about the craft of
arms. And yet, despite that, once the
menace Of dictatorship became clear,
the country reversed its previous stand
and decided that the peace-time draft |

FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK. OCT. 8 TO IL

Omaha will join in the national
observance of Fire Prevention
Week October to IL with city
wide program designed to encour-
age elimination of fire hazards by
home owners, business men and
factory operators, Chairman p. X.
Walsh of the Chamber of Com
merce Fire Prevention committee
said today.
"The Fire Prevention Week is a
good time to remove rubbish and
effect genuine cleanup OF all
premises since fires do not start
in clean places, Walsh said. "Reg-
ular cleaning, particularly in at
tics, cellars and under stairways
would prevent numerous fires
which are constantly destroying
American homes" Walsh pointed
out that in the presence of rubb-
ish, only a chance spark or flame
is required to court disaster. Ev-
cry citizen in this community is
urged to see that all refuse and
other waste material is collected
and destroyed. he said.
Some suggestions have been pre-
pared by the committee to elimin-
ate hazardous conditions caused by
rubbish. They are:
"Combustible waste materia

When the draft bill officially
called the selective military service
act came before Congress, it was
known that the great majority of the
American people favored it. So did
all the leading commentators. So did
most public men, including both Pres
ident Roosevelt and Contender Willkie.
The country looked in wondering am
azement at what the totalitarian pow
ers were doing to once-democratic Eur
dpe, and was grimly determined that
every possible step should be taken to
make sure nothing of that kind would
happen here at home. Under those
circumstances, it would have been
reasonable forecast that the draft mea-
sure would go through in jig time.

was the lesser of the evils.
The mechanics of the law are
simple enough. Next month every
man in the nation between the ages of
Il and 35 inclusive, will go TO place
of registration and fill out a blank.
Some 16,500000 men will be involved,
and by early next year it is estimated
that 100000 of them will be called to
the colors. The men chosen will serve
a year, and will be paid $50 a month.
There is nothing in the law granting
deferment to men with dependents and
families deferment is specifically
granted only to those who, in the opin-
ion of the President, are filling import
ant jobs in industries and callings
which are essential to defense. 1t is
believed certain, however, that men
with dependents will not be called un-

What will be the effect on our eco
lomic order? Only time can answer

ults can be easily foreseen. The bulk

ling them. Their places will be taken
by older men, or by men whose physic-
al status makes them unfit for military
life. And when, the years training is
over, these young men are released,
Ianother dislocation will take place.
The draft law provides that every en-
ployer who is able to, must take the
conscripts back, and put them in the
same jobs at the same wages. That
will mean that men taken on in the
meantime to do the work must be dis
charged. In some cases, men who
have spent a year in the army will be
slow TO get back again into the routine
of their jobs, and that will involve loss
of time and money. All in all, the draft
law will unquestionably create many
a problem for industry no less than the
Individual.
1t doesn't make pleasant picture.
And certainly, peace-time draft is, in |
principle, opposed 10 what this kind of /

But few oppose the action of Congress
in adopting it. Ill-trained soldiers, in
modern war, become easily slaughter

H. M .L.-Dear Friend, have q
daughter who has finished high
school. Do you think that il
would be best to send her to col
lege this fall? 1t seems like she
is much in love with a boy here.
Ans: Pack her off to college
right away. The training would
be excellent and put the finishing
touches to her. Money spent on
educational purposes is mighty
important and you can't go wrong
giving her the best education you
can afford.
G. C. D.-Should we try to re-
deem the old homestead or would
it be best to buy land elsewhere?
Ans: | suggest that you buy
land elsewhere and do not waste
your money and time on trying
to get the old homestead back a
gain. The chances are that you
couldn't if you tried-and it would
mean endless worry and expense
on your part. Forget it altogeth
er and buy in more desirable 10
cation.

L. K.-I am living with an aun
and want to know if she wants
me to get out? Do you think
should make a trip to Californi;
to visit my other aunt?
Ans: No, don't. You shoul
take a little different attitude ar
ound the house and try to be
comfort to your aunt. She IS
bit disgusted with the way yor
act-but she doesn't want you t
leave. Make up your mind to hel
her more and try to be more cour
teous for after all you are depend

everything is over and | am back
home. Now the boy l used to
love don't pay me any attention at
all. He used to say he loved me.
Will he ever change his mind and
forgive me?
Ans: He never will. Don't you
think that you are asking a heck
of lot to expect him to take you
with open arms and support your
child? He has been hurt by what
you have done, but he will look
elsewhere when he wants a wife.
You had better stop thinking about
him and try to find someone else
who appreciates you.

P. G.-Does my husband run
women the reason he doesn't act
like he cares for me like he should.
Ans: He isn't guilty of that
act. Your husband isn't quite sat
isfied with you as a wife-he can't
understand your "cooP demonstra-
tion of love-when he first met
you, you were everything but Geld
and disagreeable and If you don't
change your ways he will get oat
and find him a gal.

power. The governors choice of MT. Talbot was made despite many ap- peals to him, some of them from leading Republicans, that MT. Lynch be named for another term.
 AS soon as the appointment was announced, talk started of asking Gov.-elect Robert A. Hurley to ap- point him to the common pleas court bench next year, when the term of Judge Miles McNif expires.
 Halted All Talk
 MT. Talbot was mentioned for the commissiorership in post-election gossip, but he halted the talk im- mediately by telling reporters that he did not want the post. My only wish is to return to the private practice of law" he said. It is said that Gov. Baldwin later prevailed on him to accept the place.
 The term of MT. Lynch, 8 Dem- ocrat, ends Jan. l, seven days be- fore Gov Baldwin ends his two year tenure at Hartford.
 Named by Cross
 Commissioner Lynch was appoint ed by ex-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross to fill the unexpired portion of the term of the late Frederick M. Will Hams. Later he was appointed for a full f1ve-year term. He has been a leading member of the local bar for many years, and his conduct of the compensation court won him high praise.
 The commissioner-designate is 39 years old and native of Nauga- tuck. He is graduate of Dartmouth College, and Yale Law school. He has served as prosecutor and judge of the Naugatuck borough court. He was elected state treas urer in 1888, after he had won po- litical recognition as a leader in the Young Republican movement. He is the father of four children, and a member of several Naugatuck or ganizations.

that number BIO were passed and became law.
 Q.-Are many bills vetoed? A Not very many. During the eight years President Wilson was in of- flee he vetoed B bills; President Harding vetoed 5; President Cool idge. 20, and President Hoover, 20. President Cleveland vetoed more bllS than any other President, but the bills were mostly private pen sion bills.
 Whips Duties Explained.
 Q.-What are the duties of the whip of the House? A.-The whip looks after all legislation and en- deavors to have all present when important measures are to be voted upon. When the vote is likely to be close he checks up, finds out who is out of the city, and advises ab- senteeS by wire of the important measures coming up.
 Q.-Does the President ever wear a uniform? A.-Although the Pres ident of the United States is con- mander-in-chief of the army and navy, he is civilian. American tradition does not permit him to wear uniform representing any branch of the military or naval service.
 Two Bachelor Presidents.
 Q.-What two Presidents were bachelors when elected? A.-Two Presidents of the United States were bachelors when elected - James Buchanan and Grover Cleveland. During his first term, however, the latter married Frances Poison. :. He was the 18th presIoenL and was Lincoln's predecessor.
 Q.-Is it possible for dictator to get control of our country under our Constitution? Alt was to make a dictatorship impossible in the United States that the people of the Thirteen Original States wrote into the Constitution SO many guarantees of individual rights and personal liberties which no execu- tive can override without destroying that document.

 Recently he had 1O1 of the ques- tionS and answers combined and inserted i1 the Congressional Rec- ord. They follow, in part:
 Q.-How long have we had a Con- gress? A.-The first Congress dates from March 4, 1789, to March 3, 1791. It had no practical existence, however, until April 6, 1789, when the presence of quorums in both Houses permitted complete organ ization.
 Q.-DoeS the President appear personally before Congress? A. Only to deliver a message, usually at the beginning of each session. |. Many messages are delivered in writing, and read to the Houses by reading clerk.
 Houses Growth Steady.
 Q.-HaS the House of RepreSen- tatives always been composed of 435 members? A.-No. Under the first apportionment in 1789, there were only 65 members. The number was increased each decade along with the increased populations until, in 1840, the number of members to- tailed 232; whereas, in 1880, the house increased to 332, and in 1919 increased to the present 435.
 Q-Are many bills introduced at Congress? A.-During the first ses- sion of the 76th Congress, 7,957 bills were introduced in the house. The number now exceeds 10000. The largest number of bills introduced during one Congress was 33,015, in the 61st Congress, 1909-191l. Of
