ployes and atlemlanti of bucket shops
and race tracks, fortune telleu, clair
voyant!, palmist and the like, who fur
the, purpose of the regulations shall be
coniidered as iillrri,
"The new regulations will alio af
fect the following classes:
"(A) Persons engaged in the
serving of fond or drink, or either,
in public jt.ices, including hotels
and social clubs.
"(B) I'assentjer elevator operators i
or attendants, doormen, footmen and
other attendants of clubs, lintels,
tores, apartment houses, office
buildings and bath houses.
Actora Are Exempt.
"(C) Persons including ushers
and other attendants engaged and
occupied in, and in connection with
games, sports and amusements, ex
cepting actual performers in legiti
mate concern, operas or theatrical
performances.
"(D) IVrsons employed in do
mestic service.
"(K) Sabs clerks and other
clerks emplojcl in stores and other
mercantile establishments. Men
who are engaged as above, or are
idlers will nut be permitted to seek
relief because of the fact that thev
have a late order number or be
cause thev have been placed in
Class If. Iff or IV on the grounds
of dependency.
The fact that be is not usefully em
ployed will o. Iweigh both of the above
conditions. It is expected that the
list of non-useful occupations will be
extended from time to tinie as neces
sity will require, so as to include per
soni in nthcr employments.
Vacations Not Absences.
"Temporary absences from regular
employment not to exreed one week.
unless stub temporary absenres are
nabitual and freipient. shall not be eon
sideied as idleness. Kegular vacations
will not be considered as absrnces in
this connection
"The regulation throws a further safr
guard around men pot usefully em
ploved bv providing that where ' -i
are compelling domestic circumstance
that would not permit change of employ
ment by the registrant without dispro
portionate hardships to his dependents
or where a rbange from non-useful to
useful occupation would necessitate a
removal of the registrant or his family.
local boards mav give consideration to
the circimistanees.
Night Workers Safeguarded.
Tbe reKnI.it ion further provides that
where such a change of employment
would compel the night employment of
women under circumstances which a
board might deem unsuitable for such
employment of women, the board may
take such circumstances into considera
tion in making its decision.
Explaining the new regulation and the
necessity for it, (nnrr.il Crowder said:
"The war has so f.ir disorganized the
normal adjustment of industrial man
power as to prevent the enormous in
dustrial output and national organiza
tion necessary to success.
Change Will Be Welcomed.
"There is a popular demand for or
ganization of man-power hut no direct
(trail could hp imposed at present.
"Steps to prohihit idleness and non
effective occupation will be welcomed by
our people.
"We shall give the idlers and men
net effectively employed, the choice be
tween military service and effective em
ployment. Kvery man in tbe draft age
at least must work or fight.
War of Mechanics.-
"This is not alone a war of military
maneuver. It is a deadly contest of
industries and mechanics. Germany
must not be thought of as merely pos
sessing an arinv, we must think of her
as being an nrmv an army in which
every factory ami loom in the empire is
a recognized -irt in a complete machine
running night and day at terrific speed.
We must make of ourselves the same
sort of effective machine.
It is enough to ask what would hap
pen if every man in the nation turned
Ins hand to effective work. We must
make ourselves effective We must or
ganize for the future We must make
vast withdrawals for the army and im-rned-atelv
close tip the ranks of in
f slustry behind the gap with an arcelerat
' in production of every useful thing in
necessary measure, llow is this to be
done?
4 "Put Waste to Use."
"The answer is plain. The first step
toward the solution of the difficulty is
to prohibit engagement by able-bodied
men In the field of hurtful employment,
idleness or ineffectual employment and
thus induce and persuade the vast, wast
ed uses into useful fields.
"The very situation we are now con
sidering, however, offers great possi
bilities in improvement of the draft as
well as great possibilities for the com
position of tbe labor situation by ef
fective administration of tbe draft
Considering the selective service law
we see two principal causes of defer
ment of the call to military service
exemption and the order numbers as
signed bv lot. The exemptions them
selves fall into two conspicuous cate
goriesdependency and industrial em
ployment. One protects domestic rela
tions, the other the economic interest
of the nation. Itetween the two there
is an inevitable hiatus, for it is dem
onstrably true that thousands, if not
millions, of dependency exemptions
nave no effect on industrial protection
whatever.
ust Show He's Useful.
"One of the unanswerable criticisms
of the draft has been that it takes men
from the farms and men from all use
ful employments and marches them
past crowds of idlers and loafers away
to the enemy. The remedy is simple
Vi couple the industrial basis with other
"ounds for exemptions and to require
that any man pleading exemption on
any ground shall also show that he
is contributing effectively to the indus
trial welfare of the nation.
"The regulation Itself makes plain
the determination of the war depart
ment. The great organization of local
and district boards which has already
accomplished a notable work mav be
relied upon to eatch the spirit of the
movement and sorely-needed man
power will soon be flowing Into the
fields of useful endeavor or into the
other direction of military strength."
"No League Ball
Until End of War"
ST. LOUIS, May 2J.-Maior league
taernll club will be forced to close
their gates untii the b4 of the war
if players of draft age are forced to
engage in some "useful occupation"
after July 1, according to the prevailing
opinion of local baseball men.
Phil Itall, president of the St. I.ouis
Americans, said the Browns would not
have one-half of one nine left ami
would be forced to disband. Manager
Jai k Hendricks of the St. I.ouis Na
tionals expressed the same view.
NEW DRAFT 'RULE
TO HAVE LITTLE
EFFECT IN STATE
(Continued From Page 1)
ready accomplished much toward elimi
nating the evil which the amendment
strikes at.
Pool Halls to Yield
Several Hundred
I'oiir to five hundred men in Okla
homa City will he affected by the war
department's order of "work or fight"
t hief of Police Nit hols asserted this
morning. t
The chief welcomed the news that
the war department had ordered the en
forced enlistment of the idlers. He re
fused to state the manner in which the
police department would set to work to
enforce the new rules in Oklahoma City
but declared every preparation would
be made so that bv July 1 the order
could he carried out to the letter.
"We to not need the pool halls dur
ing v,.ir times," saiil the chief. He es
timated that about thirty of them are
doing business in the city at present.
While the police have been combing
them for idlers ami gamblers the only
penalty that could be meted out is a
short jail sentence or the preference of
going to work. I'ndrr the ruling of
work or fight the chief thinks several
bundled plivsicallv fit men will be add
ed to the army and others sent into use
ful employment until the war is won.
Chief Nn hols stated that from one
to half a dozen men are employed in
cat h pool hall.
Retail Stores
Not Hard Hit
Mercantile establishments in Okla
homa City are not exceptionally hard
hit by the new draft regulations. A
survey of the twelve largest establish
ments in the city affected by the order
shows that thev already have sent or
will send by (lie end of (his month
thirty-nine men into the army. Of the
men left only fifty-one are affected by
the new order.
The foil owing tabulation shows the
effect the order will have on these es
tablishments :

Poo! Halls Must
Go, Says Selby
Pool halls along with tbe dance halls
of Oklahoma City must go. A cam
paign soon to be started by the county
attorney, the sheriff and bis minute men,
the police, the county council of de
fense, the ministerial alliance and sev
eral other organizations will aim to
make Oklahoma City the cleanest city
in the I'nited Stat and those "non
essential" businesses and places of
amusement will have to go.
County Attorney Charles I! Selby an
nounced this morning that representa
tives of his office would consult with
the city attorney's office and the city
commissioners this afternoon regard
ing the passage of an ordinance elimi
naing "mm essentials" which will in
clude the barring of pool halls from
the city.
"We are already living tinder a new
order of things," Selby said. "The
criminals and loafers have never con
tributed anything to the welfare of this
city and I don't believe that the city
and county can afford to tolerate any
longer the expense of protecting
property against them as well as the
high cost of convicting them in the
courts.
"I don't believe that conditions were
ever finite so good where every decent
individual and organizations were so
willing to co-operate vah the law en
forcing authorities to put these "non
essentials" out of business. Everyone of
these places that demoralizes the char
acters of young men and young women
and where prostitutes, criminals and
loafers are alwed to loaf, should go.
If we have the co-operation that has
been promised us. thev will go."
Many Waiters
Will Be Affected
Waiters will he bard bit by the new
draft regulations. Ollie Wilson, secre
tary of the State Federation of Labor
estimates that there are approximately
400 waiters of both sexes in the city of
whom about .SO percent are union. He
has no means of learning the number of
men in this total who are of draft age.
Service at the I ce-IIiickins hotel will
be curtailed, said loseph Iluckins to
day. There are 2K5 men employed at
the hotel and about fifty of these are
affected bv the new order. Their places
will be taken for the most part by
women Tasks such as carrying grips
probably will be eliminated.

Hear this famous Victor artist!
This Farrar recital is an event of importance to the music
loving public. It presents the unique opportunity of a direct
personal observation of her remarkably beautiful voice for
comparative consideration with her historic Victor Records.
Attend this concert and hear the exquisite interpretations
of this famous soprano, being particularly careful to observe
the individual characteristics that so plainly identify the
Farrar voice. tV-Vv
Then go to any Victor dealer's and hear the Victor Rec
ords by Farrar. You will be instantly convinced that on the
Victrola her art and personality are brought to you with un
erring truth.
It is this absolute fidelity that emphasizes the supremacy
of the Victrola, so firmly established on a basis of great things
actually accomplished; a supremacy readily recognized and
acknowledged by the world's greatest artists who make rec
ords exclusively for the Victor.
There are Victori and Victrola in great variety of stylet from $10 to $400.
