TO HOLD DRAWING
TO FIX INDIVIDUAL
DRAFT LIABILITY
General Crowder Explains How
2,000,000 Men of Class
One Are to Be
Handled.
. Washington, Jan. 29. New provi-
-,ion of the draft law to- bring in
young men ai fast at they become 21
were considered today by the senate
military committee, with Provoit
Marshal General Crowder explaining
them.
Another proposed amendment. sup-
ported by the War department, would
discharge men ai fast as they become
31 if they have not been inducted into
jhe military service.
In future operation of the drift
law, General Crowder explained,
new drawing: would be held under
the new classification in order to fix
individual liability.
."We would exhaust class 1," he
said, "before calling on other classei.
I hope we will not have to call on
any class except class i.
If you pass the resolution to en
roll men becoming; 21 we will be as
sured, almost, of not having to go
out of class 1. If class 1 in any com
munity becomes exhtusted, according
to its Quota, we would call on an
other men of class 1 in other comma
nities before calling men of lower
classes in the first community.'
General Crowder opposed the plan
recommended by Secretary Baker to
exempt men becoming 31 without be
ing drafted.
- If the amendments for registration
of those attaining 21 years are ac
oeeted. Central Crowder estimated
that there would be 2,000,000 in class
1 available for the dratt.
The new registration, according to
General CrowJer, will not be nearly
so great a task as the first, because
the registration machinery iirovided

Washington, Jan. 29. Extension of

stuffs is advocated by Food Admin
istrator Hoover in a letter to Repre

Contained in a draft of the food bill
recently submitted Ly Mr. Anderson
to the fuel administrator.
Extend Lever Act
The extension of the measures of
the Lever act, Mr. Hoover says,
should include:
"Control of distribution In order
that all classes and localities may
fare alike and that unnecessary-consumption
should be prevented.
"Control of use of foodstuffs in
food manufactories with a view to
limiting the less essential manufactures.
Cont.ol of commodities critically

preservation of foodstuffs in order to
prevent great losses of military sacrifices."
In addition to the increasing of
wheatless and meatless days and re
ducing the per cent of wheat in flour,
steps virtually already taken by the
food administration Mr. Anderson's
bill proposed licensing of public eating
places and the limiting of food served

A Sure Way to
End Dandruff
There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply
it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most if not all of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may
have. " -
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better. Adv.
