Most OF Us Will Hardly Know Consumption Is G,
EXPERIENCE ONLY IT'S STREAMLINED

The signal for distribution was
the Presidents proclamation for
registration.
Six thousand five hundred local
draft boards of about three men
each are the heart of the selec-
, tive service system. The Presi-
dent appoints these men with the
advice of the governors.
Areas Of About 10000
Each board presides over an
area in which about 10000 peo-
pie live.
The experts already know
about how many men will regis
! ter. They use a system known as
weighted census statistics. As
Stunning a population base of 49,
! 100000 Americans, they know
between II and 13 percent of
these are between q and SO or
about 16,500,000.
/ In the light of World war ex-
perience, about one-third of the
/ sixteen and a half millions will
fall into class one-subject to
immediate military training.
. The Army isn't ready for s.
100000 men now. Between regis
tration day and February l it can
handle about 100000. By the end
of the fiscal year on July L, it
can absorb another 100000.
: First Call In November
! On the first call, about mid
" November, it expects to take in
F.. $4,000 of the first quota of AGO.
600. Another call for $4,000 is to
go out a few weeks later, an
other for $4,000 soon after, and
a final call for $4,000 will fill
the first quota.
| The next quota of 100000 in
.Ihe spring will make up a total
well within the fixed limit of
100000 in any one year. It's all
planned so the draft will go first
into low gear. then into second,
and finally high.
And it's dollars to doughnuts
most of us will hardly know a
draft is going on. Under the plan
now being set up. sparsely popu-
lated Nevada will be asked for
scarcely so men on the first call
in mid-November. Crowded New
York will contribute only about
1875.

or in the trigger of a loaded gun.
Again. why did Mr. Frame lay his
gun crosswise in the bottom of the
car. so that its muzzle faced anyone
opening the car door, instead of leav-
ing it safely on the seat as he was used
to doing? Why did he wear gloves that
slowed down mans shooting? Why
did he park his car here beside the
ditch. instead of in the more con-
venient place a hundred yards away?
These things began to assume pat
tern in Bob's mind; but the trouble
was, Chan had been shot with his own
gun, and it had been left loaded by
his own carelessness. That did not fit
the pattern. Bob was still trying to
make it fit when Mr.. Frame returned
from town.

side doors hung open. Chan Ford's
gun was caught its butt wedged
against the door jamb, Probably, but
for that fact. the jerk of the rope and
the reCoil would have thrown it out
of the car If Chan Ford had been on
level ground instead of in the ditch
beside the car, the charge might have
gone between his legs. At worst, it
would have hit him in the leg; but
Bob knew that twelve-gauge shot
gun charge through the leg at close
range will often kill man. He went
to look at the dead man for moment,
and at the guns still lying crosswise in
the car Then he leaned against the

CommodityPrice
Chongesm Week
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The gen.
eral average of commodity prices
in cash markets advanced this week,
but individual staples showed wide
changes both up and down.
The Associated Press index of 35
wholesale foods and industrial raw
materials continued a rise which
has been interrupted only once in
the last l3 weeks
The index, based on 1926 as 100,
moved up to 1851 from 1923 a week
ago and 72.49 year ago.
Key industrial materials and live
stock dropped sharply.
Dealers pointed out most COM
modify prices rose swiftly in the
preceding week after Secretary Nor
genthau's announcement he fav-
ored and increase in the Federal
debt limit. Some observers said the
current setbacks appeared to be a
reaction from too-sharp advance.
Livestock Lower.
In livestock trade opposition de-
veloped to prices, which in the case
of cattle were around three-year
peaks. The higher quotations also
attracted increased offerings.
Hides, which advanced spectacu-
larly earlier in the year, also turned
down. Others in the minus column
included lumber tin, silk, wool,
lamb, cocoa and eggs.
Marked up sharply were butter,
corn, wheat and oats.
Wheat, in trade dominated by
the fear of inadequate free market
supplies because of the amount in
the Government loan, sold at the
highest in around six months. But
ter reached a tWo-and-a -half-year
top.
Cotton rise smartly smartly under
the influence of insistent demand
by mills.
Rubber Advances.
Rubber moved up despite the price
limits of the Government reserve
buying program. Other staples at
higher prices included bituminous
coal, turpentine, linseed oil, sugar,
-four and lard.
