Y DRASTIC WORK OR FIGHT PLAN IIALTEDJY WAR Minimum Working Week for Essential Industries Had Been Decided, Crowder Reports.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6. While the
second and probably the final annual report on the selective service system, prepared by Maj. Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, provost marshal general and made public today, containing only one specific recommendation that of draft machinery be used to take the decennial census the six hundred page document gave the first inkling of drastic extensions of the work or fight regulations which had been planned Just before hostilities ceased. The report showed that specific plans were before Secretary Baker last November under which a minimum working week for the essential industries would have been fixed in order that "industrial slackers" might be reached, and that plans were shap
ing for the mandatory department of
registrants in essential industry, denying them absolutely the right of military service. A scheme for supervising labor distributions through an industrial furlough system also was being evolved. As to the accomplishments of the selective system, credit for which was given to the patriotic devotion of "thousands upon thousands" of American men and women who aided Gen. Crowder said: "We are too close upon the events accurately to assess them. How great a part American selective service played in the drama of the world war, history alone can tell."
Social Lines Bring Two
. Neighbors Into Court Too fine a social sense on the part of Mrs. Dora Veregge, 902 North
Eighth street, resulted in John
Charles, her neighbor, being fined $5 and costs in police court Thursday
morning. Mrs. Veregge told Mrs. Charles that the son of the Veregge household couldn't attend a party at the Charles home. People were going, she said, she didn't want her son to associate with. One thing led to another, and Mrs. Charles' husband appeared in police court to answer to a charge of assault
and battery preferred by Mrs. Ver
egge. Crime to Hit Man with
Glasses? Depends on Results
In it more of a crime to hit. a man with glasses on than one without glasses? The prevailing impression that there is such a law was thrashed out in a hot discussion in the city building Thursday. Mayor Zimmerman and Chief Gormon .were the chief debaters.
Oath Freeman, city attorney, appar-
; and was appealed to. He said that Jf one hit a man with glasses and the
blaT damaged his eyes, the offender
was liable to go to the penitentiary for mayhem, but if no damage result
ed, it was an ordinary case of assault
and battery.

John Bowers of the Ohio Electric has spent the last three weeks superintending the disposal of the rolling stock of the Electric line between Franklin and Lebanon, Ohio, which has been disbanded. This road was built over fifteen years ago, and as automobiles came into use. the company considered it a non-payable proposition. A former method of transportation over forty years ago, was a bus line between Franklin, Red Lion and Lebanon, also, via of Green Tree and Shaker Village, a distance of fourteen miles to Lebanon, the county seat of Warren county. This was a toll road, the old toll gates being less than a mile from each town. The toll for round trip was twenty or twenty-five cents.

Practical Training in Science Work

Fundamentals and practical facts are the watch words of the science department of Richmond high school. These words do not describe the fascination of the work, however, and it is the interesting side as well as the practical side of physics and chemistry, the sciences offered, that S. S. Vernon and A. O. Heck of the department are bringing to their pupils. The high school laboratories and equipment are greatly superior to those in many high schools, tnd equal and even superior to those of many colleges. An example of interesting and prac
tical work was snown me cnemisiry classes recently when the telephone company asked Mr. Vernon to get some platinum contact points out of German silver. Vernon and some of his pupils treated the German silver with nitric acid which dissolved the silver and left the platinum points untouched and bare. About $75 worth of platinum was secured from old springs in this way for the telephone company. "We cannot overemphasize the important part played by chemistry in the war," Mr. Vernon said, "and we cannot point out all the men who through a knowledge of practical and tvanraticsi fhpmlstrv won distinction
from the government, and did a big
part in winning tne war inrougn ineir work with high explosive shells, and gas. I strongly advise chemistry as an excellent course for boys or girls who are in any way interested in science" The Richmond high school has turned out a number of chemists including Howard Graffis of the class of 1918, who entered a rubber plant at Akron, O., soon after school closed last June, and who is now doing important rubber testing for the company. Graffis' foundation work was

school, and after arriving at Akron, he merely had to study up on the
"rubber side" of the question. .This future is in store for any enterprising youths who "take to the course",
Vernon says.
Mr. Vernon explained that the second term in his chemistry classes will be concerned with a variety of work. Analysis, and "unknowns" will be taken up, and special work for boys and girls will be done. The girls will have a good, course in household chemistry including work with dyes, textiles, bleaching, cleaning processes, removal of stains, baking powders, soaps and others, while the boys will
do special work in commercial photography and other lines. Two classes of fifteen pupils each took chemistry last semester and are again enrolled for the spring work. An effort is being made to build up the

Loan end Savings Competes Oppose State lleaszre August H. Schroeder represented the Richmond Loan and Savings company at the convention of the Savings and Loan Association League at Indianapolis Wednesday. All members were urged to protest against the bill to transfer building and loan associations of Indiana from the jurisdiction of the state auditor to the state banking department, if the bill creating the banking department is passed. The secretary in his annual report said that already some bills have been proposed in the legislature that if they are passed will wipe out or close up some financial institutions.

Give Territorial Claims. The supreme council of the peace council was engaged today in receiving from M. Kramar and M. Benes, a statement of the claims of the new Czecho-Slovak republic. These delegates asked that Czecho-Slovakia, Bohemia, Maravia, Silesia, Slovakia nd the Ruthenian section of Hungary as well as outlying regions where the Czechoslovaks are largely in the majority. This would embrace territory populated by about 13,000,000 people. The necessity of giving the new state an outlet to the sea was emphosized, it being pointed out that a way should be found northward by the Elbe and Vistula to the north and Baltic . Seas, eastward by the Danube to the Black Sea or southward through Triehte or Flume to the Adriatic. To this end the delegates asked for the internationalization of waterways and railways giving them there outlets.
personnel of the classes, and take away the idea that it is a "grind" course. No better training in laboratory technique can be received than in high school courses, symbols, cleanliness, and cleverness in handling apparatus is of great advantage, it is said, to the pupils who intend to continue science in college "or university work. Extremely interesting work with the velocity of sound has been taken up recently by the first term physics class and will probably be used some in the second semester work of this class. This week the class went into the country and divided itself Into two groups with a measured distance of several thousand feet between them. One group had a shot gun the other a stop watch. At the appearance of smoke, which occurs immediately with the discharge of a firearm the stop watch group set the watch, which they stopped upon "getting the sound." Estimates secured by the groups were very good. One group missed the cor
rect time only one per cent. This 1
class had a distance of .47 of a mile, 2,481.6 feet, and they caught the sound in 2.24 seconds, an average of 1,195 feet a second. The correct average should have ben 1,107 feet a second. Loss in power, efficiency in electrical devices, motor testing, and other advanced work is taken up, by the Physics III class. There are no girls in this class, but A. O. Heck, physics teacher, explained that there is reason for this, as girls could "get the work" in his opinion. Electricity seems to be one that very few, if any girls have entered, he observed. There are 41 pupils taking elementary physics at present, nine in the second divicion and ten in the third division.
