' Through such leadership the boys of the troops are kept interested in a procram of play-activities that are healths'.ving " and educational. They take long hikes, studying nature in all Its forms. They learn woodcraft, and howto take care of themselves In the open.

They should not forget that the move;, lent is what it is as a builder of character as a builder of good citizens because of the magnificent service of men who are stivmsr their time to the movement as volunteers And every patriotic man who thinks about this remarkable movement should thinkof n also indeed, he should think of it primarily as a splendid and easy opportunity for him n do his part toward improving the characters of the men of tomorrow, the men in whose hands will rest the fate of this nation and its ideals

DRAFT BOARD HAS NOTICE

The "vTar Department is about to beariii a thorough investigation of. all registrants in the Selective Service Sstem'who have been given deferred classification This involves a full reiew

of questionnaires where, registrants, have been placed In a deferred class. x that is.- any class other than Class J. anc? also the. procurement of new evidence as to trie truth of the answers t-. the questions propounded in the questionnaires. It istevident that a considerable number of registrants do not fully understand their obligation to the government under the Selective Service regt Nations. -We desire to call attention o the following regulations: 'Every registrant shall, within five 'days after the happening thereof, report" to his local board any fact which might change or affect r:s classification. Failure to report change of status as herein required or making- a false repot t thereof, is a misdemeanor punishable by one year's imprisonment." It will "be observed that the penalty for a failure to report any change of s:.i;s to the local board is a sever" "ne, saying nothing of the reproach on the manhood and patriotism of the registrant. This obligation rests on hose who have been classified by the district board as well as those who have been classified by the local board. This regulation must be enforced without fear or favor. Therefore, all registrants who, since th filing of their questionnaires. hav

so changed their occupation as to effect their classification, or whose obligation to dependents has ceased or become less burdensome, should at once report to the local board at the court house. Hammond. If the registrant fails in This and the investigation about to be instituted discloses his delinquency, be must expect to suffer the penalty provided by law. It is hoped that all persons who have 8ny information of registrants who ate delinquent'" and who should be reclassified will do their patriotic duty hy notifying any one of the undersigned of the fact s. These are f.T!. when slackers will not be tolerated. r.Arr, b i.iriNSKi. PR. WM. T. WEI?, YV. E. OSBORNE. " Exemption Board. C. B. TIN K li A M. Gov. Appeal Agt.

ENOUGH to

American motorists have been jivingall their attention to poir.tr fast and none to stopping:, declares John J. Younger, well known automobile engineer, now supervising engineering in the War Department's Motor Transport Division. "Get-away," 'pick up," "dash" are familiar terms, he says, but r.obodv has been thinking of stopping. It is time to put on the brakes, he says. Mr. Younger believes the national brake inspection movement, endorsed by traffic officials and leadmtr motor experts the country over, will accomplish much good if it does nothing more than to call the attention of motorists to 'the importance of havin.c their brakes inspected at regular intervals. In fast rail traffic, says Mr. Younger, the question of slopping: is always considered first. Witn a continuous stream of car3 through the New York subway at rush hours, when Manhattan"? millions are being carried to work and back home, experts point out that the subway engineers know to the fraction of a foot where the brakes are to be applied to bring their trains to a dead

' stop at a lequired point. Permanent si,jns are displayed and the subway cars ston so as to open in front of 'hem. There would be a great amount of confusion, Mr. Younger , thinks, if a similar string of automo- , biles attempted to stop at as frequer.t intervals as the subway trains. Good Drake Lining Important The importance of having automobiles equipped with good braka lining, as. for example, the kind that is thermoid hydraulic compressed) and impervious to moisture, gasoline; j oil and dust, is emphasized bv thoj j brake inspection movement. Many I of the American cars now going toj I the front are equipped with th-j i thermoid lining. Automobile brakes, in the opinion

of experts, should be as effective when applied by the woman driver as when applied by a strong man. At test was made recently in which a' truck driver was found who could exert a pedal pressure ot 400 pounds No woman driver could do that, tha experts say, yet, with a thermoid hvdraulic compressed brake lining.

I a woman driver '-should be able to.

J stop her car as quickly as the truck J driver.
