cation of local boards of men of the r.ew draft regulation has been bo rapid that questionnaires soon will be pent to youths of 18 and men between 37 and 4G years of age. Though required to register on September 12, no action had been taken ns to these classes because of the Intention to defer calling them for service until all other available material has been exhausted, and local boards were ordered not to Bend them questionnaires. With their enrollment the work, deBcribed by Provost Marshal General Crowder as the "classification of the United States" will bo complete. Reports today showed that 655 local boards out of 4,543 In the United States had classified all registrants between 19 and 47.

Famous Lawyers Aid Crowder in Administration of Draft

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct 16 One great factor in Provost Marshal General Crowder's success in . administering the draft has been the type of men he selected to assist him. General Crowder has "a weakness" for lawyers, especially distinguished lawyers, and he has them in quantities now. They are not advisers or consultants, but have been taken away from lucrative private practices, thrust into uniform, and set to work actually as

aides and staff members, to help run the machine. Some of the legal luminaries so captured are men of more than national note in their profession. The first man whom General Crowder called in from civil life was Charles B. Warren, of Detroit, now colonel and senior officer on his Btaff. Colonel Warren has 'written most of the selective service regulations, and was primarily responsible for the formulation of the regulations for the first draft. Incidentally Colonel Warren has written many of the congressional statutes which have been enacted into law in connection with the draft. Colonel Warren was on two occasions before becoming an aide to General Crowder attorney for the United States in international arbitrations. Once, during the fisheries dispute with Canada, he held the attention of the Hague tribunal with an argument six days long. At an earlier date he was one of the lawyers appointed by the president to argue the case of the United States before the Joint High Tribunal created to adjuclate claims of Great Britain against the United States arising out of the Bering Sea seal . fisheries controversy. Robert Lansing, now secretary of state, was also of counsel in that matter. In addition to his career in the field of international law, Colonel Warren has developed a financial career. He is heavily interested in large industrial enterprises and banks in Detroit, his home city, and had found time to be president of the Detroit Chamber of Commerce before he dropped his private activities to join General Crowder's machine for downing the Hun. His varied experience in law, business, and finance, has naturally been an invaluable asset in laying out and administering the draft. Colonel J. H. Wigmore most lawyers will instantly think of 'Wigmore on Evidence' in this connection was dean of Northwestern University law school, and author of several recognized volumes on legal lore when the draft organization took him. Colonel

J.'S. Easby-Smith, a Washington attorney with a supreme court practice, came to the staff because of his successful work at the1 head of the District of Columbia draft board. He exemplifies another practice General Crowder has developed, that of picking up an executive who has been particularly successful with the draft in his own locality, and bringing him in to headquarters. Major J. R. Clark.also of Washington, D. C, formerly solicitor for the state department, has been newly added to the department, as office adjutant. The exhaustive medical provisions of the draft are now under the direction of Colonel F. R. Keefer, a regular army officer, who heads the medical division. Lieutenant Colonel Grant Trent, who sat on the Philippine islands supreme bench several years, and Lieut. Colonel Joseph F. Fairbanks, a New England attorney, give special attention to the digest of draft cases appealed to the president. Lieutenant Colonel Roscoe S. Conklin, a relative

of the famed New York senator and political leader, is now particularly vcharged with classification questions for the whole of the draft within the United States, because he proved particularly successful In getting through emergency organization in New York City. Lieutenant Colonel H. C. Kramer, now heading an inspection division, came in after making a success in New Jersey, as agent for the adputant general of that state, in similar duty. Endless tables of figures and statistics have to be marshalled to keep the stream of men flowing into cantonments, and for this work, General Crowder imported Major H. E. Stephenson, late efficiency expert with the PePnnsylvania railroad. For his personal military aide, General Crowder has Major J. Barry King, of Oklahoma.

K. of C, to Provide for Men in Ambulance Corps (By Associated Press) PARIS, Oct. 16. Because they have been scattered throughout the various regiments of the French army, men of the American Ambulance service have been "out of luck" in the past when it came to getting any of the benefits from the various auxiliary organizations. There are several thousand of these ambulance men, many of whom were members of college units, with the French, and a scheme has been devised by the Knights of Columbus to get supplies to them. It was impossible to send a Knights of Columbus secretary to each of the units, for there are only about ten men in each of them, but Colonel

Percy Jones, their commander, has

appointed some of his force as "acting secretaries" and to them are sent

the bundles of cigarettes, chocolate, athletic material and stationery from

WILSON'S NAME IS EVIDENT IN SHOPS

By Associated Press.) PARIS. Oct 16. The name of President Wilson has supblanted those of King George V. of England and of the late Emperor Nicholas of Russia as a label for popular styles of men's wearing apparel in the Paris shops. "I went to my tailor's to order a new suit, a blue serge, the sort of thing I've been wearing the last twenty years," writes a humorous contributor to L'Oeuvre, "and that worthy called out to the bookkeeper 'One Woodrow Wlleon suit,' adding In explanation to me, 'That's the name of the goods. "Then I went to the shirtmaker's where I selected some shirts that only differed from those I used to buy before the war in costing $4 Instead of $1.60, and I heard the salesman announce: 'Six President Wilson shirts.' "My new boots, comfortable, but devoid of elegance, bear branded upon their soles the name of the United States president "My hatter showed me a hat of the very shape that before the war we called 'Tyrolean (and paid three times less for). The Tyrol has lost caste and these hats today are 'Wilsons,' although they were 'George Fifths' during the first years of the war. "My collars remind me of our glorious ally, for though the laundry chemicals have removed my name, that or the president remains indelible, and yet these same collars for years could boast of wearing the name of Nicholas II."

FAMO STOPS SEBORRHEA THE DANDRUFF DISEASE

No other hair remedy even retootely resembles FAMO. FAMO kills the dandruff germ and stops the unhealthy flow from the sebaceous glands. Every ingredient in FAMO is well known to physicians. But none of these ingredients hvere ever before applied to saving Ithe hair. Science perfected FAMO in one of the oldest pharmaceutical houses in Detroit famous for its laboratories which supply physicians all over the Iworld with medical goods. FAMO not only kills the seborrhea microbe but it makes the scalp and Ibair as clean as that of a baby. It ends all itching of the scalp. Even where baldness has already (appeared (unless the hair roots are absolutely dead) FAMO will encourage and stimulate the growth of new hair. Many women say FAMO has caused their hair to grow from four to six inches. FAMO retards grayness and strengthens the natural color. It contains no alcohol to dry the scalp and produce gray hairs. It makes the hair luxuriant and lustreful and if there is a tendency to waviness FAMO intensifies it, Famo should be used by every member of the family. It can safely be used on the head of the baby as there is nothing in

FAMO that will harm the tender est scalp. Used on the head of growing children it will make the most unruly hair lie flat and easy to comb. Young women find FAMO peculiarly fine hair dressing. It makes the hair fluffy and full of life. . If yon have dandruff yon have seborrhea. Seborrhea is as dangerous to the hair as pyorrhea is to the teeth. So if you have dandruff not a day should be lost in applying FAMO. Not until FAMO has cleared your scalp of the deadly dandruff bacilli is your hair safe. , Even if you have no dandruff now you should use FAMO so that

dandruff will be kept away and to make the hair fluffy and beautiful. FAMO comes in two sizes 35 cents, and an extra large bottle at $1. It is sold at all toilet goods counters. Applications at all the better barber 'shops. Your money will be refunded if you are not satisfied. Seborrhea it the medical nam for m morbidly increased flow from the sebaceous glands of the scalp. The atborrhhean excretion forms in scales or flakes and is commonly known as dandruff. Mfg. by The Famo Co., Detroit A. G. Luken & Co., 630 Main street.
