The operating room IB Charge of Brnest Kirk, who started his career as a projector with A. P. Brentlinger nine years ago, when he took up instruction at the old Theatorium from where he moved to the Orpheum with its purchase by Brentlinger and English. lAter he went to Fort Wayne, where he has continued until now when he retufns to take charge of Liberty together with Edward Pullem, who took his first instructions under Mr. Kirk at the Orpheum in '13.

In reminiscent survey of the last nine eara, Mr. Kirk told of the style of machines used nine years ago, of their position on a wooden block with a tin container below to catch the film. This "magic lantern" sort of machine required the operator to crank all day long during the hours of film showing.

Tie cited the difference now when this operating room is completely motorized, wjth every appliance motor driven. He spoke of the difference in conditions in the way of looking after the health and comfort of the operator declaring that their health ventilation was looked alter almost as closely as the soldier In the ranks, while in olden days the operator sweltered all day, wedged In sardine fashion in a two by four tin box.

LOCAL BOARDS READY FOR DAY Of REGISTRY

Lots of Fellow* Whose Age For Tears Has Been Camouflaged Must Uncover.

By Mique O'Brien.

Thursday's the day when we must all tell onr real names and our real ages. -p

That to those of ws who are male persons, between the ages of 18 and 46, and have not yet made out questionnaires.

Uncle Sam's order to register will expose some of our natty, youngish looking men who have been sort of following the example of Peter Pan aqd refusing to pay heed to the flight of time.

Many a man concealing a spot as bald as DeWolf Hopper's, under a curly blonde or brunette toupee, will be denied the right to qualify for even limited service in Uncle Sam's military forces. Some of those who have not been observing birthdays in recent years, by remaining away from registration booths, which will be more numerous than election booths on Thursday will confess passing the 46th mile stone. JTow far past that milestone they have passed must remain a secret between themselves, their bible and a few others in the world.

Boards Making Plans.

For many days the three local boards have been busy making out certificates for out of town men effected by the registration order. These will be sent to the home boards of the men where the registrations will be completed.

What Vigo county'boards are doing for men unavoidably detained here, conscription boards are in other cities doing for Terre Hauteans similarly situated.

Then there are those Who will leave. Terre Haute before the 12th and their cases are being attended to in a busi ness like way by the local boards. In extreme cases members of local boards have the authority to register eligibles in advance of the day set. This has been done in Terre Haute In the cases of studeny? called to college and in other instances when, as Chairman Sam E. Gray, of division No. 3, said "it became the part, of wisdom to apply Common sense rules to a situation."

New Blanks Are Out.

The new questionnaires are out, though only ft few copies have reached Terre Haute.

The new form is about twice as long as the questionnaire issued in connection with the registration of men between the ages of 21 and 31, but instead of being twice as difficult to fill out, those who had examined both said that the second interrogatory has been prepared in such a way that the average citizen will have little difficulty. V- :.

The greater length ts due almost entirely to the demand for closer detail concerning grounds for exemption or deferred classification either because of the registrant's part in the economic life of the nation or because of the necessity of his financial support for dependents.

The men who will register—at the regular polling pla,ces in their election precincts, according to present plans— on Thursday are those between the ages of 18 and 45, inclusive, except those who enrolled themselves in tho 21 to 31 registration. In other words, the n^w registrants will bo young men IS, 19 and 20 years old and men whose agen are between 31 and 45. inclusive..

No one within the specified age limits will be exempted from registration except men now in the military or naval service a.nd reserve forces, and men in the diplomatic or ^onffniar corps of foreign government resident in the T^ited States. 'Rven inmates of penitentiaries and insane asylums will be registered.

The questionnaire is the big thing in connection with the registration. On Thursday the registrant merely answers some preliminary questions put to him by the registrar, who writes them out in ink on the registration card, but the questionnaire is made ont by the man himself and upon its contents, and not the facts contained on the registration cards, depends his classification.

Questions for Registration. Men within the specified ag«e have been asked to prepare themselves to answer the rpjestions that will be put

to them on registration day. In brief, these are as foiiowsu 1. Full name.. 2. Permanent home address. 3. Age—in years only, 4. Date of birth. 5. 6, 7, 8, 9. Race—white, negro, oriental or Indian. 10, 11, 12. Citiaen—by birth, naturalization, or by father's naturalization. 13, 14, Alien, declarant, that is, having first papers, or non-declarant, that is, not having first papers. 15. If an alien, of what nation are you a citizen or subject? 16. Place of employment or business. 19, 20. Name and address of nearest relative.

Must Take Oath^

After he has made these answers and they have been written upon the card, the registrant will take an oath that they are true.

One feature of tho questionnaire about which there has been general discussion is covered on the first page of the new blanks. There it is shown that the man filling ont the questionnaire must make his own claim for exemption or deferred classification.

At the bottom of the first page— which, incidentally, is not to be made out until after all the questions on the other pages have been answered—appears this: "Registrant or other interested person must answer the following question "Q.—Do you claim exemption or deferred classification in respect of the registrant narted above. If so, state the divisions of each class and each class in which you claim that be should be classified."

And next in order comes this: "Waiver of claim for exemption ftr deferred classification. (To he signed by registrant or other interested person whenever a waiver is used.r "I hereby waive all claim of exemption or deferred classification of the registrant named above."

Questions in Group.

And then the man with the questionnaire blank turifs over the remainder of the 16-page pamphlet he will find the questions arranged in groups called "series." Their subjects in the order in which they appear are the following:

General questions. 11. Physical fitness. 117. 'Legislative, execatire and Judicial officers.

IV. Ministers or religion. V. Divinity and medical strident*. "V% Military or naval service. VTI. Citizenship. VTTT. County and municipal officials and federal employes. Pilots and mariners. Firemen and policemen.

IX Religious conviction against war. X. Dependency. XT. Industrial occupation. XII. Agricultural occupation.

Some Answers Not Needed. Many of the questions need not be answered if an answer early in the series covers the subject For example, if a man answers "Yes" to the question whether he is "In sound health mentally and physically" he need answer no more questions in that series.

In the same way if he answers "No" to the question whether he is a legislative, executive or judicial officer, he has finished with that series. That also is true of the remaining series of a similar nature.

Bnt on such subjects as "dependency," "Industrial occupation* and "agricultural occupation," the registrant who wishes to set down facts entitling him to exemption or deferred classification under one of these headings will find that he Is compelled to supply a wealth of detail that will enable the draft hoards to pass on his case without further information.

Success of French Joins Line With British Sector, WTTTT THE FRENCH 'AP.MT TN FRANCE. Sept. 9.—Successes have been scored by the French in the St. Qttentin region, where their line joins the British. There have been indications that the Germans intended ntak* ing a stand along the Croza.t canal, defending the stronghold at LaF^re, the principal outlying protection of the St, Gobain massif on the north. This plan appears already to have been frustrated by the French, however a crossing of the canal opposite Ldez, about three miles northwest of L,aFere, having been forced last night by General Petain's forces.

Elsewhere the French are light op to the Crozat positions along virtually the entire length of the canal, with their infantry only four miles from St. Quien and their cavalry patrols hard upon LaFerfe.

Check Advance at Laorv. There has been no further martx-dl advance by the French along the more southerly stretches of the St. Gobain defenses before I^aon, where the German resistance now is of the most desperate character. The enemy is reported to have massed enormous numbers of guns in this region and to be hurriedly strengthening the already strong positions. Inroads have' been made upon the massif on the west by the French, however, and there are no intentions on' their part of accepting the stabilizing of the line in this sectw 'whiefe tbe German* ao-ovidoody de-
