Selection By Draft Now Almost Certain President Roosevelt's acceptauc* speech appears to have made U al most a certainty that the Unite* StatcH soon will fall Into ?t?P will the real of tho world by requtrlni military service of selected clil*en? Overshadowed by the announce ment of his willingness to accept ; third term, u few sentences of the ad dress forecast that the full force o the administration would he throw: behind an effort to enact proiuptlypossibly In the next two weeks?com pulsory training legislation, "Vlanes and guns and tanks ar wholly Insufficient unless they ur Implemented by the power of me: trained to use them," the Chief Ext cutlve said, and added.: "Most right thinking persons ar agreed that some form.of selection b draft Is as necessary and aa fair t? day as It was In 1917 and 1918." It was taken us a final go-abeat signal by advocates of the proposalnew almost ready for action by Con gross? to revive tho World war selec tlce service scheme, which the arinj aud navy have indorsed. Mite the War department, the Pros Ident appoars to huve withheld hli nod for a definite program until pub lie opinion hud lime to form and at rangements could he made to put tin program Into operation without i hitch. Only two months ago, after the * Nazi Invasion of the Netherlandi dramatized the peril of a complete upset of the existing world order, the army's single proposal for augument lug manpower was an additional 16, 000 regulars. General George C. Marshall, chlel of staff, is still admittedly wary lest the billions poured out for defense so quickly "choke the carburetor at the start." The general staff's delayed endorsement of selective service was without qualification, however. Now, on the tentative assumption that the legislation. with amendments, will be approved by August 1, the army Is busily perfecting detailed plans to start within two months the training of an Initial 400.000 men between 21 and 31 to be chosen by lot from the group which can best be spared from civilian life. 1 > . i _ i v* ^ ? T>11? nluno ;;.-v vxv tober 1 nearly a million men will be under arms in the land fot oes, Including the entire national guard, a far greater number than at any other time except when the nation was actually at war. Though Congress was told by General Marshall that the training problem was "simple." It Is no secret that the army's facilities will be taxed tn the utmost at the outset. It If hs and other basic arms are available In ample numbers, but there is an admitted shortage In such equipment as blankets and overcoats which .an not l>o met for many months. It i< entirely possible that this wlpter thousands of recruits will have, to drill in vari colored macklnuws instead of olive drab overcoats. The blanket shortage does not mean any are likely actually to suffer from eold. hut there may have to he temporary makeshift changes in regulations for blanket rolls and packs used in overnight marches. The World war demonstrated that under pi ensure necessary camps and barracks can be provided on short nolle.- In Ml7. without the detailed advance arrangements and far more adequate facilities In existence now, extra accommodations were ready for du.oiiii recruits In less than four months. Ultimately there were 32 camps and cantonments aside from regular army posts. Trained officers offer no immediate problem A quarter century ago. there were only about a tenth of the 200,000 officers needed for the army of four million that was created; dow more than 100.000 reservists, aside from some 26.000 regular army and national guard officers, are available. Of all the principal powers, only the United States and Great Britain whose fleets comprised their first lines of defense, have relied entirely on volunteers for military manpower in peacetime Now some of the smaller nations, notably Mexico, which had followed th-ir example, are turning too to universal service. Virtually all of Kurope. China, .lapan. all of South America except Uruguay. and most of central American states ha\ e long had -orn?- form of compul.-ory training It has ranged from a minimum of 10 days annually in the union of South Afrrc.v :>> tw.> years and even more in Kurope.

Bi^ Business n ' And Grace E? ? 1 fly FLORENCE ALLEN (McClure Syndlc?! - WNU Service. I [? _ K * Ef HANK, you don't understand," " said Grace for the tenth time '* that evening. il "Cut that out about my not unI derstanding," said Frank, not withf out some courtesy. "I understand ? what you think you mean?you mean that you think Just because you have spent four years in college ' and have come off with a degree you are too well educated to be my v wife. Hot and rubbish! What 1 a also understand is that I love you a very much, in spite of your foolish j. notions, and that you are not the sort of girl, Grace Baldwin, who ia going to be content with just a career, if that's what you call it." ^ "I'll always go on caring a great h deal for you, Frank," she said. "Only now that I've got my degree J I really think I ought to use it. I - can't give up my ideals?even for you, Frank." Grace wanted to succeed in some i sort of business. She had specialized in economics and had taken several coufftes in finance, and on the whole felt that she would be an * asset to any banking house or other establishment needing business ability of the first order. So one fine i day she went to the city carrying t with her some nice little letters of introduction to officers of several banks which she had begged from the president of her home bank. As for the bank officers?they ! didn't even take the trouble to see " her. Grace was told that she would - have to send in a request by mail for an appointment if she really wished to see them. Then one day she managed to see Mr. George, vice president of one , of the business offices to which she had contrived to get a letter of introduction. "I don't want any one around here to help run this business," he growled after she had hopefully recounted her qualifications. "Our payroll is too big as it is. Nobody's really interested. They Just do their own little jobs and draw their salaries and hurry home at five. Do you think any of the girls around here would take it upon themselves to see that my private office was kept tidy? Not much. All they'd have to do would be to keep after the cleaning woman? BtfiV a f p r hnnro ? v.'hils t, see that she did the work. But no, they wouldn't think of such a thing." "Perhaps what you have said will give me an idea," Grace said. "One or two of the other men I've talked to seemed to have trouble of somewhat the same sort." But when Grace reached her home that week-end she was thoroughly discouraged. True, she had a little plan in the back of her mind, but when she came to consider it, it didn't seem so very good after all. Late that Saturday afternoon she telephoned to Frank. "I'm sorry I said what I did to you," she said. "Maybe it is cowardly, but I'm going to ask you to give me another chance. You see, I don't believe that there ever would be a chance for me in the big business world. Why, the only possible chance I saw was to turn to and keep offices clean. Honestly, I actually worked out a sort of scheme of hiring some cleaning women and opening a little office to take contracts for cleaning offices and personally supervising the whole matter. I wrote to Mr. George about it. But nothing came even of that. So, Frank, if you want me you can have me." And of course Frank took Grace in his arms, beyond measure pleased to find her in this humble frame of mind. A few days later came a letter, signed by Mr. W. M. George. "I didn't see any chance of giving you a job," said Mr. George, "but since reading your letter and considering your plans for an officecleaning agency I think perhaps we could come to some agreement. I see you have brains and courage. I'm interested in your plan and would be willing to back such a venture and finance it. We could make it a sort of side issue. Meantime you could be of real use to me here in this office, and I guess I could mention a salary that would appeal to you." Grace read the letter at first with I eagerness. This Mr. George, she I had found out, was a thoroughly reI liable business man of high stand1 ing. And he had appreciated her qualifications?he really felt that he ! could make use of her. Grace's rosiest ambitions were beginning to come true. And yet? Grace reread the letter and put it in her desk. She would answer it later in the day. Meantime she ; must keep her appointment with Frank. They were going to consult with an architect about building a little dovecot for two. Corrigan Horse Racing Horse racing is being streamlined the Corrigan way at Calistcga, Calif. Under the new system, the horses are trotted out on the track, where each owner is obliged to give up his mount' and ride some one else's horse. When the race gets under i way, it is a case of every rider : trying to come in first, thus enhancing his own horse's chance of being last, for the last three horses win. ???B?8??? ' Sdtasgcr Habit Gripping British s Waste Paper, Tin Cans, Rags Are Regarded as Items Of Importance. LONDON.?Ever since the war began the British have been officially urged on the one hand to save every possible farthing and so help public i finance; on the other hand to spend i to the limit and thus keep the wheels of trade turning, i But now the government?and the > minister of supply in particulars-is pressing forvyard a savings cam| paign. All local authorities are bei ing pressed by the ministry to make , war on waste and, specifically, to i arrange for the salvaging of almost \ everything which, having been used for its primary purpose, can be transformed and used again in some form. Response Takes Time. Local authorities are urged to enter voluntarily into the plan. Response by these authorities so far has been variable. Some have plunged into saving with zeal and hay? t made the most , alginate ai> rangements for salvaging hitherto unconsidered trifles; others have been inactive. However, people are now saving waste paper, bones, scrap metal (old sardine tins for example) rags, also potato peelings, - outer cabbage leaves and other bits which can be fed to pigs and poultry. Waste paper is one of the principal items of salvage. This is being done at the rate of some 50,000 tons a year but when the paper saving organization now being set up gets into its full stride the anticipation is that this will be multiplied at least five times. Scrap Metal Important. Scrap metal also is considered important. The small metal caps used to seal milk bottles are saved and returned to the milkman who usually carries on his rounds a receptacle for them. It is understood thdt dairies ask for the return of these caps in response to an official suggestion that they should be saveo^ Some of the salvage schemes afe most detailed and sorting methods are elaborate, particularly as regards waste paper. One of the boroughs makes house-to-house collections of bones to be boiled down for glue. Another has opened a shop where methods of saving of all sons 01 tnmgs are demonstrated. Quarter Century Required To Untangle Red Tape. OROVILLE, CALIF.?Bob Strang bought a new hay bailer for five cents and still is not happy about it. Strang organized the county's exhibit for the San Francisco exposition of 1915 and when it closed the hay presser was left on his hands, where it has been for the past 25 years. Recently he petitioned the board of supervisors to take possession of it. They declined and insisted instead that he purchase it for five cents and legalized the transaction by issuing a bill of sale. As the" machine only compresses bales 16 by 19 inches, it has no practical value. The purchase, however, will permit Strang to give it away and thus get rid of it. Cloth Fresco Painting Is Developed by Priest WEST WARREN, MASS.?The Rev. Omer J. Chevrette, pastor of St. Thomas Catholic church, has been granted a patent on a process for "painting fresco on cloth." Father Chevrette says examples of his method soon will be submitted to art centers for critical appraisal. He explains that his patent covers the application of pure dyes and water pigments on absorbent cloth with a brush with "exceptional" economy. The pastor says the process is suitable for use on such pliable textures as stage curtains and permits the saturation of a cloth in such a manner that the resulting product is transparent. Cold Blood Transfusions Reported From Moscow MOSCOW. ? The discovery that cold as well as warm blood can be used in transfusions was reported recently in a dispatch to the communist newspaper Pravda from Khabarovsk, in far eastern Siberia. The newspaper pointed out thai such a discovery would be especially important in time of war. Injections with warm blood require at least 30 minutes, Pravda said, whereas the new tests show that blood can be injected the moment it is taken from the refrigerator.

McCarley, County Agent. t GROW MORE FOOD Again The Dally Mall urges farmers and all others who have cultivable lands at their disposal, to plant more food and feed crops during the remainder of the summer. Unless the price of coton Is pegged by the government this fall, the market level may drop considerably lower than the present figure. Fanners may not, therefore, have as much money as formerly, while the price of food, on the other hand, may skyrocket to new heights as result of a world-wide shortage. V* There Is still time to plant crops that will make every farm a selfsustaining unit this winter. Corn potatoes, peas, sorghum, soybeans and other forage crops as well as most vegetables and truck crops may yet be planted and harvested before frost. If none of the dire predictions made by economists actually materialize, farmers will still be far better off as result of having grown these crops.
