All Boys Between Aaes or 15
and 18 Must Register .
Nov. 14 for Next
Summer. -
v November 14 has been set by the
United States Department of Labor
lor tne registration of boyswho on
that date have attained the age of 15
years and 7 months, and who are un
der the draft age, in the United
States Boys' Working reserve.
Statistics show that during the
past summer fields were unplanted.
crops unharvested and fruit rotting
on the trees because farmers could
not secure sufficient help, while near
ly 2000,000 able-bodied, boys, old
enough to do light farm work or
gather and pack fruit, either re-
mained idle in the cities or were
employed in non-essential occupa
tions. "7
To guard against a possible repe
tition of these conditions, plans have
been made to mobilize this army of
boys for work next summer where
they can best help to win the war.
They will not be sent away from
home without the consent of their
parents, but those who go away
from home will be under the super
vision of government representatives
who will see that they&re adequately
paid, well cared for and not over
worked. ,
Directors of the Boys' Working
reserve from all of the states met
la Washington during the past week
and completed plans for the training
through the winter of boys of regis
tration age in order that they may
be placed next spring where they
will be of the most value to the
country.. ;
Details of the registration in Ne
braska will be announced on the
return from Washington of Leonard
W. Trester, federal director for Ne
braska, within a few days.
Soldiers Uniforms Sent
. to Omaha to Bs Cleaned
Fourteen big truck loads of uni
forms arrived the other day at the
cleaning establishment of Dresher
Brothers from Camp Dodge to be
cleaned. In order to' complete the
big job for Uncle Sam the cleaners
will work all day Sunday.
This is only; a small part of; the
work Dresher Brothers are doing
right along in the line of keeping
the soldiers nifty looking. Ninety
thousand hats and caps fronvthe sol
diers at Camp Dodge haye. been
cleaned by Dresher Brothers since
that camp was established.
Food Administration ""
Standardizes Grade
Of ffl. Corn Products
Changes In corn milling grades,
affecting grits, cream, meal, corn
flour, and common meal, are an
nounced by Gurdon W. Wattles,
federal food administrator for Ne
braska. , ' Xv
The purpose of these changes are
'to further standardize corn prod-
urts so that7, the housewife, when
purchasing, may be sure that she is
getting the same grades under the
same designations.
The new grades permit these
products to have a moisture con
tent of from UYi to W2 per cent,
while the fat content "may range
from ' Vj to 2' per cent, instead
of being limited to 1J4 per cent
as formerly, . In no case, however,
shall, the sum total of the two ex
ceed 15 per cent.
. In the past t meals not stand
ardized ' have spoiled in transit
which has caused dissatisfaction
among housewives, who used corn
products as substitutes for wheat.
The food ' administration has
standardized in the same manner
,rye and barley products as well as
oat products.
Two Military Bands and Men
in Gas Masks in Parade
Two military bands and a gas
mask company of 20 men will fea
ture the Ak-Sar-Ben daylight mili-!
tary parade, says Gould Dietz, i
chairman of the AkSar-Ben com- j
mittee which went to Camp Dodge '
l nursday.
Through the courtesy of Maj.
Warren E. Pugh, the band of the
163d depot brigade and the band
of. the Second infantry were prom
ised to the Omaha committee. The
company of men. attired in gas
masks, is practically assured for the
parade.
A squad of 200 or 300 Omaha sol
diers also probably will come from
Camp Dodge to take part in the
parade, says Dietz. At any rate,
3,000 soldiers from the two Omaha
posts will participate
The 163d depot brigade band has
a nation-wide reputation and is led
by Lieutenant Epley, a well known
military band leader. The parade
will be held on . the afternoon of
Thursday, October 3. and with the
electrical parade of the preceding
evening will form the principal fea
ture of the Ak-Sar-Ben fall festival.
Other members of the Omaha com
mittee are W. D. Hosford and Art
Guiou.
Red Cross units, canteen workers,
members of exemption boards, and
alt Omaha war workers will taRe
prt in the procession. It is hoped
to .make it the biggest affair of the
kind that has ' yet been seen in
Omaha, ,; , .

Omaha Bee and for the last half year
with the Rialto and Strand theaters
in Omaha, as advertising man, left
last night for New York City,
where he is to enter as a flying

corps. .
Although Lamont was educated in
this country, he is the son .of Eng

a British subject. He has had a de
sire to fly "one of'them" ever iince
the war started and was full jf glee
when the opportunity presented
itself to enter into the flying school,
where he has hopes of becoming
clever , enough to be a pursuit

JEFFERIS
FOR CONGRESS
Bs Sur That You Are Registered !
So You Can Vo'.e November 5.
The grim, unalterable determina
tion and will to win the war ani
mating every public official at Wash
ington was graphically described by
Albert W. Jefferis, republican nomi
nee for ? congress, upon his return
yesterday from a visit to the na
tion's war - capital.
"All for one and one for all, until
Prussian militarism has been wiped
from the face of the earth." is the
spirit actuating every official act and
thought of congress, regardless of
thpir. party affiliations," Mr. Jefferis
declared.
; "Everywhere in the capital, among
administration leaders, republican
power is recognized as the factor
which made possible the enactment
of the war legislation essential to
th$ successful prosecution of the
war."
Crush the Hun.
Today the only question upon
which hinges the support of any
legislation is "will it help win the
war?" No more wrangles, no more
lengthy debatcspregnant with party
animosities, no more 36-hour fili
busters like of old all is unity, all
harmony, everyone vibrates with a
single emotion "Crush the Hunl"
"The entire machinery of the re
publican party," said Mr. Jefferis,
"ha?j been placed at the disposal of
the administration. All the energy,
the initiative, the brains and the
power of the party which was con
ceived in the principles and ideals
of Lincoln are united behind the ad
ministration." Party antipathies, personal ambi
tion and expedients are all being cast
to the wind every party and per
sonal interest has become secondary
and subordinate to the one solemn
purpose of bringing the war to a
successful conclusion, he declared.
Thrilled by Victories. ,
"And while the results of this
dynamic spirit were for a while dis
couraging but inspiring, the blanket
was lifted and the cumulative effect
was revealed when the thrilling ac
complishments of the Americans at
Chateau Thierry," the Marne and St
Mihiel were flashed around the
world.
"These victories were regarded
as a personat achievement by every
congressman in Washington, for
were they not the internalization
and realization . of every individual
prayer, dream and hope?
"With the initial American victo
ries as a tonic and the momentum
of progress stirring t!.cir blood, con
gressmen of all parties now are
one 'to make' the world safe for de-
f mocrrcy. .

M'ADOO TO ASK
EXEMPTION FOR
RAILROAD MEN
;: ' V,. .
Dirctor Genera! of Transit
Companies Urges Employes
to Claim Industrial
y Classification.
Exemotion from militarv
for all skilled railroad eirmloves af
fected by the new draft will be re
quested by William G. McAdoo, director-general
of the railroad admin
istration, on the ground that their
retention in that service is essen
tial to the successful conduct of the
war. This announcement was con
tained in n advance copy of a cir
cular signed by the director-general
which soon will be forwarded to all
regional directors of railroads.
Another circular, an advance copy
of which just arrived here, addressed
to railroad employes and asking
them to claim exemption bn indus
trial grounds, also will soon be
mailed to railroad workers.
No Surplus Employes.
Excerpts from the note addressed
to regional directors, follow:
"Please state to the district board,
with my, full authority, that after
eight months of thorough and con
tinuing study of this subject
that there is no surplus whatever of
employes for running the railroads
and there is no surplus supply of
labor from which new employes can
be drawn to replace those who may
be taken for military service. '
"The government of the United
States has taken-possession and con
trol of the railroads as a war meas
ure, and their efficient and unham
pered operation is indispensable to
the successful conduct of the war.
"In such circumstances the men
who are necessarily employed in
rail transportation in this country
are as truly employed in an indis
pensable war service as are our sol
diers and sailors.
"Any competent railroad employe
taken from an indispensable branch
of the railroad service will be sub
tracted from a force which is al
ready too small and which cannot
be adequately replenished.
Not Suited to Women.
"The taking of such employes by
any district board would be a step
tending to injure the war operations
of some railroads."
Apparently anticipating sugges
tions for the substitution of such
employes by women workers, the
director general continues:
Practically without exception
these employments are not suited to
women, but able-bodied and vigor
ous men are needed for the dis
charge of the duties. These are not
available in vdequate numbers and
will become less and less available
as the war progresses. . . . ,
"To the extent that railroad men
can be spared from railroad service
for military service we ought to
spare, them, but to the extent that
they are needed for railroad service
the district boards should not at
tempt to i take them for military
service. ' "'
Strive to Wyi War.!
"We are all striving for the same
end, and that is to win the war."
In his letter to employes, Mr.- Mc
Adoo declares that it is the patriotic
duty of railroad workers to claim
exemption; that every man who is
helping in these Necessary occupa
tions to operate the railroads in this
country is rendering not only a serv-
ice indispensable to the war, but a
service that is as praiseworthy and
creditable as any war service could
be. '
The director general also suggests
that employers should closely scru
tinize employes' answers in their
questionnaires and if through mis
taken chivalry, no exemption has
been claimed, proper representations
to secure the registrants' military
release from the' district board
should be made.

London, Sept 21. Achievements
of the British air forces in the last

for any previous fortnight . ,
These long distance raids have
been directly against poison cas and
airplane factories, railway stations.'
and docks and 'sidings. t
Aerial assaults over the battle '
area have been numerous. Acting '
in conjunction with the Franco

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair, while the most
popular count their curls as their
chief beauty? In fact, many are
leading ladies just because of their
attractive looks. ( Inquiry among
them discloses the fact that they
bring out all the natural, beauty of
their hair by careful shamnooing,
not with any soap or ma';es'iift, but
with a simple mixture by putting
a teaspoonful of Canthrox (which
they get from the druggist) in a cup
of hot water and applving this in
stead Of soap. This full cup of
shamnoo. liquid is eri6urh so it is
easy to apply it to ajl the hair in
stead of just the top of the head.
After, its use, the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, ex
