Ushers' in games, sports and amuse ments All persons engaged In games and amusements excepting legitimate performers. Domestic servants, excepting chauffeurs. Sales clerks and all other clerks in offices, department stores and mercantile establishments, wholesale and retall. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 22. In a series of rulings sent to local boards Provost Marshal., General Crowder elucidated today the work or fight order applying to men of draft age who are now engaged in the occupations

specified as not essential to the conduct of the war. " Baseball players are not exempted from the operation of the order by the ruling. Gen. Crowder, however, has recommended that enforcement of the order, in the case of baseball players, be postponed until the close of the present season, and this recommendation is pending before Secretary of War Baker for decision. Mr. Baker, who will consult the president before deciding the matter, has not indicated his attitude. Inability to obtain employment in a productive occupation will be accepted as a temporary excuse only. The federal employment service will assist registrants in obtaining useful work. Get Real Job or Fight. Mr. Crowder's interpretation of the order follows: "The regulations, recently promulgated, provide that any person engaged in certain enumerated classes of occupations and employments in which he was rendering no effective assistance to the nation in the present crisis shall, even though he may have . been given a deferred classification, either engage in some other occupation or employment that is productive or enter the military service. "When it has been determined that a person in a deferred classification !s an idler or is engaged in a nonproductive occupation or employment the classification and order number of such person will be withdrawn and he will be immediately inducted into the military service. No Relief for Bartenders.

"The regulations provide that persons engaged in the serving 'of food and drink, or either, in public places, engaged in nonproductive occupations Including hotels and social clubs, are or employments. This, however, does not include managers, clerks, cooks, or other employes, unless they are actually engaged in the serving of food ind drink or either. 'The regulations further provide

that passenger elevator operators and attendants, and doormen, footmen, carriage openers, and other attendants in clubs, hotels,' stores, apartment houses, ."office ; buildings, and bathhouses are engaged in nonproductive words 'other attendants' include belloccupations or employments. The boys and also include porters, unless such porters are engaged in heavy work. Ushers Must Go to Work. . "The regulations further provide that persons, including ushers and other attendants, engaged in, occupied in,- and in connection with games, sports, and amusements, excepting actual performers in legitimate concerts, operas, or theatrical performances, are engaged in nonproductive occupations or employments. This includes, in addition to ushers and other attendants, all persons engaged and occupied in games, sports, and amusements, except actual performers in legitimate concerts, operas, or the

atrical performances. "The regulations further provide that a person engaged in domestic Bervice is engaged in a non-productive' employment or occupation, but this does not include public service or private chauffeurs, unless they should also be engaged in some other occupation defined as unproductive. Saves Many Store Employes. "The regulations further provide that sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercantile establishments are engaged in nonproductive employment, but this does not include store executives, managers, superintendents, nor the heads of such departments as accounting, financial, advertising, credit, purchasing, delivery, receiving, shipping, and other departments; does not include registered pharmacists employed in wholesale and retail drug storess or establishments; and does not include traveling salesmen, buyers, delivery drivers, electricians, engineers, carpet layers, upholsterers' nor any employes

duties of clerks

ed in recent reports to congress. Representative Madden of Illinois is preparing . a bill which would prohibit granting of deferred classification to any government emplloyes in executive branches on request of cabinet members. The proposed measure also would cancel all such exemptions or deferred classifications previoussly given up on the Initiative of cabinet officials. - "-

Automobile Notes

One of the unusual and excellent displays. at the motor show, on which the crowds are focussing attention, is that of the Oldsmobile Sportster, a strikingly new effect in body design. Mr. O.. Dale. Bowers, of the Central Auto Station, local distributor, Is immensely pleased at its popularity. Its slim, .racy, low hung lines give remarkable external indications of active response, undoubted speed, flexibility and power. Designed to meet the ever growing exactions of the men who get things done, and of the broader activities of the modern woman, it is the timely combination of efficient utility and unquestioned smartness and style. Quick transportation, in covering a

i varied round of appointments, in busi

ness, service and social requirements, has built the need for this type of car, with its ample power for all kinds of roads, sand, mud, snow, its hillclimbing ability and unusual flexibility in threading tangled traffic at low speed on high gear without gear shifting. It is this characteristic of the Oldsmobile eight-cylinder, 58 H. P. engine, that gives this car such a wide appeal among women drivers. I Among the unusual points of excel

lence are the oval beveled plate glass windows at the rear of the graceful top and the tonneau lamp which lights the rear step in entering or alighting from th car at night. Thursday's W. S.S. Record is Praised by Oliver

EXPRESS RATES ARE -RAISED 10 PER CENT (By .Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. June 22. Ten per cent increase In express rates was approved today by - the interstate commerce commission. At the same time the commission disallowed - an application . for an increase to 15 per cent. The new rate will become effective- as soon as express companies file new tariffs, prob

ably, within two. weeks.

J. D. Oliver, state director of war savings stamp sales in the county wired the following congratulatory

I message to County Chairman J. H.

"However, sales clerks and other Mllls. on receipt of the news of Thurs-

clerks. include the c1pHo1 forr in uay s pieages

the office and in all departments of stores and mercantile establishments." Help Men Get Jobs. "Local boards will consider cases of withdrawal of deferred classification with common sense," General Crowder's instructions say, and they name illness, vacation, the impossibility of securing productive employment without a change of residence as reasonable grounds for waiving the general ' order. Local boards are asked to assist registrants to obtain new employment through the federal employment service and are given power to postpone action while effort is being made to place the men in occupations held productive. Provost Marshal General Crowder called today for S.976 draft registrants qualified for general military service, to be sent on July 15 to various schools for special training. The call is to be held open for volunteers until July 1. Impressed by the large number of government clerks who have been exempted from military service at the request of cabinet officials, as reveal-

Members of the Ministerial association were visited Saturday afternoon, and were asked, not only to present the message for the drive to their congregations Sunday, but to encourage their churches to

make as large a subscription as pos

sible to the county quota.
