.This classification ixcludos mnrrUd
men entirely whose wlvoa or faniilUM
are dependent on hom for supnort
and othor mon with dopandonts.
Gonoral Crowder does this on tho
estlmuto that 1,000,000 men plvyslcally
nt tor army duty will bo available
from class ono. This number ho
thinks sufficient for tho prosont mill
tary needs of tho nation, but to as
suro tho future supply for thoso needs
ho recommends that men who have
become 21 years slnco JuncG, 1917,
(tho first draft), and who bocomo of
ago hereafter shall be added to class
ono as they become available. This
will insure, tho general estimates, a
supply of 700,000 mon a year.
In tho Interest of fair distribution
of tho military burden, Gonoral Crow
dor proposes that tho quotas of Btates
or districts bo determined hereafter
on tho basis of the number of men in
class one and not upon population. .
Class ono comprises: e
Single mon without dopendont rela
tives, married men who have habitual
ly failed to support their families, who
are dependent upon wives for support
or not usefully engaged, and whoso
families are supported by incomes in
dependent of their labor; unskilled
farm laborers, unskilled industrial
laborers, registrants by or In respect
of whom no deferred classification is
claimed or made, registrants who fall
to submit questionnaire and in respect
of whom no deferred classification is
claimed or made, and all registrants
not included in nny other division of
tho schedule.
The plan places upon unattached
single uion nnd married mon with in
dependent incqmes most of the weight
of military " duty, for tho number of
men In .hot other divisions of class
one are' very small. v

The Best Costs Less
Polarinc's lubricating efficiency measured
in terms of miles, makes it the cheapest oil
in the long run. Even if Polarine did cost
more by the gallon (which it doesn't) it
would pay to use it. For Polarine retards
depreciation. Saves repair bills. Reduces
upkeep.
You never need to be satisfied with any other
oil. Wherever you may dc here or a hun
dred miles from here you can get Polarine.
It is sold everywhere.
Fill your crankcase with Polarine today and
abolish oiling troubles all winter. Get it
where you see the sign at our Service
Stations or good garages everywhere.
