Contlnned frorn rate One
Lansdowne avenue on Wednesday. He came
and claimed exemption, It was said, on the
ground that he. had an aged and Infirm
father. To all outward appearances, Mr.
Dwyer said, the father Is halo and hearty,
and, moreover, owns a half Interest In the
drug business, iirown was advised against
fil ng tho affidavit, but refused to be coun
seled. The exemption board has turned tho
matter over to T. Henry Walnut, special
Assistant United States Attorney, In
charge of preventing draft evasions In this
vicinity.
A little matter of the lack of carfare to
bring him from East Liverpool, O., was the
reason for the nonappearance of Oscar C
Helnhardt, formerly of B42B North Falrhlll
street, according to a letter received by the
board from him today. He was referred to
the nearest examining board In Ohio
At tho Twefth ani Pn0 gtrMt( 8tat,on
Chairman Clinton ltogcrs Woodruff, rail
roaded the slnglo men down to the room
vvhero the phys'cnl examinations were tak
ins, place with a speed that was nothing
short of alarming to some of them.
He has eliminated entirely the question of
exempt on when a slnglo man steps up to
the rati and the Individual who desires to
put in a claim has to be on the Jump
to do It.
When ho was asked .about the constltu
tlonallty of this. Mr. Woodruff replied that
many single men didn't even think about
an exemption until tho suggestion was
placed In their minds by the formula.
"The psychology of asking a man who
really has no right to be exempt whether
he wants to be Is bad," he said. "It raises
the question of exemption, when the man
hasn't even thought of It before. 1 have
had no Instructions demanding that tho
exemption query be put."
Another Interesting point regarding the
extent to which a working wife la de
pendent on her husband was raised at tho
proceedings In thl. court today.
Joseph Lewis, colored. 306 South Juniper
street, claimed exemption despite tho fact
that his wife "goes out to work by tho
day."
Mr. Woodruff was In doubt regarding
the Justice of his claim and sent him down
stairs for tho physical examination.
An alien, Christopher T. Ogling, a Rus
sian, who Is single, also received small svm.
pathy In hi exemption claim. He was told
to bo examined nnd to await a decision on
the subject of the drafting of allied aliens.
Wallace Atwatcr. negro, 240 South
Hutchinson street, provided tho comic re
lief when he replied In answer to Mr
Woodruff's query that ho had been married
seven years, tho ceremony , having taken
place In 1012.
"That's only five years," the chairman
said, "though maybe it sems like reven."
"It seems llko twenty, boss," the negro
replied.
Ho claimed exemption on the ground ot
a dependent wife nevertheless.
Edward R Buchanan, C410 North Law
rence street, who failed to answer his sum
mons nt Branchtown yesterday, furnished
tho best excuse In tho world for his non
appearance when the board was advise! to
day that he was a member of tU Second
Field Artillery, having been p-.omoted to
the rank of corporal yesterday. This Is
Buchanan's third enlistment In this regi
ment, which Is stationed at Camp Wana-
iimiter.
On Monday Gcrmantown and Manayunl:
will take up tho work of drafting the men In
those divisions and on Tuesday proceedings
will start at Fourth street and Snyder
avenue.

April 0.
Literally snatched from the Jaws of death,
Hdna will be dtacanrcd next week from tho
Chester Hospital. She Is the only remain

Much credit Is given to a woman phy
sician Dr. Mnrlka Lnmhlchl for the pav

Interne nt tho hopltal, nnd an energetic
little woman with kindly eyci peering

the hospital Everybody said there was no
hope for Hdna half of tho skin surface
of her body wms burned, nnd even In caies
where a third of the skin surface Is burned
little hope Is entertained by physicians of
preserving life. Hut when Doctor Lamblchl
heurd several leading medical experts say:
"The girl cannot live" She thrust out
her chin nnd resolved right then and there
that death would not claim Kdna without
a fight. Krom then on It was nip and tuck
with death, nnd for a vvhlla death got tho
decision In tnnny rounds.
Doctor Itomblchl employed all of the
weapons of modern medical science to win
her fight, Captain Walter Wllhclm. vice

Thomas Toughey, who died this after
noon at the Jefferson Hospital, was a
stcreoptyper In tho mechanical department
of the Kvenino I.EDonn. , Ho collapsed this
morning nnd was taken to tho hospital.
Physicians said his death was duo to the
effect of tho heat yesterday and Weilnotday.
Owing to tho recent heat wavo large In
dustrial plants In this city have been mate
rially affected. At tho Baldwin Locomotive
Works C000 out of 20.000 workmen failed
to report yesterday, njid moro than that
number were laid off voluntarily the day
before on account of tho hcnL
At the J O Hrlll Company It was esti
mated that 20 per cent of tho men were
laid off temporarily. At Cramps the esti
mate was placed as high as 40 per cent.
The heat wave mreen is broken, though
Weather Bureau officials r.ay that more, If
not "worse," Is et to come. Philadelphia
today was greeted with rain, cool tempera
tures, breezes, and onco more coats will
ba comfortable.
The temperature was only 82 at 1 o'clock
this afternoon, and It was predicted that It
will not pass the 85 mark today real Ber
muda weather.
Another hot spell hero within the next
week Is anticipated by weather wizards
In Washington.
The olllcl.il forecast for today Is Bhowers
In the morning, to be followed by cooler
temperatures. Tomorrow. It was said, will
be fair.
Last night wns the only "half-comfortable"
one the city has had this week, ac
cording to weather experts.
The mercury dropped to seventy-one de
grees at 7 o'clock this morning, which
virtually Is tho lowest temperaturo record
ed since July 15
Tho first break in tho heat speT. came
last night when n gentle rainfall bathed
tho city. The Weather Bureau character
ized It as a local thunder shower. It was
hailed with delight by Phlladelphlans
throughout the city, but especially In tho
more crowded sections of tho city
Men, women and children by the thou
sands crowded tho streets and front door
steps despite the rain, nil apparently eager
to get relief from the torrid heat. Many
were heard to say that they were cool for
the first time In several days.
Yesterday's high death rate was due to
the excessive humidity. The maximum
temperature was 06 at 2 p. m.

The Girl Who Held Hands
I WAS calling on an old friend one evening,
a woman who has done a lot of good In
tho world, although now sho Is rheumatic,
and a shut-in. On the front steps her
daughter was sitting beside a young man.
iney were noiu
lng hands," but as
soon as they saw
me, they tried to
hide the fact
"Mary,". I said,
"why were you
holding this young
man's hands?"
She blushed and
hung her head.
"And you, young
man," I went on,
"why wero you
holding this girl's
hands7"
He answered,
promptly and to the
point.
".MA" HUNDAY "Because I love
her," ho said.
The girl flashed back a look of tenderness
at him. and, quite unconsciously, her body

Governor Brumbaugh has Joined Mayot
Smith In the latter's attempt to cut 2000
Phlladelphlans from tho draft list.
That this number represents tho number
In excess of what the city's real quota
should be was brought to the surface to
day, eif
Coupled with this, the Mayor, through
Congressman Peter E. Costello, haB carried
the Issue to Washington and Is hopeful that
General Enoch 13. Crowder, provost marshal
general. In charge of the draft, will set the
Federal machinery on operation with the
view of preventing Philadelphia from send
ing more than Its share of conscripts Into
the first national army.
The causes which led Mayor Smith and
Governor Brumbaugh to taKe mis action
are the haste of the War Department to
perfect the draft machinery and to the
wholesale errors among the city's fifty-one
exemption boards.
This work has prevented the adjutant
general's office from sending out the district
quotas for the State.
Although this work is Important, the big
ger Issue concerns the elimination of ap
proximately 2000 men from Philadelphia's
draft list How this number was tacked
to the city's total by the War Department
was explained today by E. J. Cattell. City
Stat'atlclan, who H gathering Information
from draft boards to substantiate the May
or's claims.
"Our quota," said Mr. Cattell, "Is too
hih .ni this Is due to the methods em
ployed by the War Department In ascer
taining the city's population. Our popula
tlon estimates were based upon the regis
tration for the National Army and an in
qulry Into the reports submitted by many
draft boards discloses that aliens wero
counted twice. This error swelled our
registration from 176,000 to approximately
191,000, and using the latter figure as a
basis the War Department estimated tne
city's population. Then the city's quota was
based upon that fictitious or Innated popu
latlon. which give, us a quota thatls unfair
to tha city. It means mi t- ----young
men. In addition to what the Na
tlonal Amy l .nt.tI.dto from this city,
must bo contributed to the service.
Mr, Cattell explained th. discrepancy by
Illustrating how certain draft boards
counted aliens twice?. As an example one
noard following Instructions from the war
Department, look Its 3100 wWWnrd
and mad. an analys s to learn how many
men were unfit for duty, how nW men
h7d dependents and also to determine th.
numb.rPof aliens. Th.n th. 'board classified
the conscripts under the WIolnr de.lg
counted In th. flrt Jji'tJiVM 1600
.mm-sszsmmuimm.
many hoards, and as a result the city s
population has been greatly expanded and
Its quota raised accordingly.
Aside from this, many districts In the
city have not been given full credits for
the number of men already In the service.
Such credits would reduce quotas In dis
tricts vvhero enlisting has been brisk and
In many Instances virtually eliminate
them. Governor Brumbaugh has promised
to rectify this error, and the Adjutant Gen.
crnl's activity would Indicate that this is
to be done Immediately.
Tno necessity of revising the quotas Is
obvloui, according to City Statistician Cat
tell. "Let us take a district containing
4000 ellglbles," he says. "Now, under the
selective draft each man Is subjetft to
service and takes his chance In the army
lottery. If that rule applied to every dls-
trlct In the country nobody cojnu voice
nn objection, but It does not. For Instance,
In Philadelphia we have districts having a
registration of 4000, and out of that num
ber 2000 are aliens and not subject to
service. Now, for the purpose of Illustra
tion, let us assume that this district must
furnish 400 men for the army. If only
2000 men are eligible It means that each
man has one chance In five to be drawn.
Now, In districts throughout the South and
other sections where there are few aliens,
a young man has one chance In ten, for
virtually every man In the 4000 registered
Is subject to the draft.
"In Philadelphia wo have 37,000 aliens
who are registered, so one can understand
why Philadelphia must send a bigger per
centage of Its youth to the front than scores
of other cities. Couple that with the fact
that mora than 16,000 of our aliens have
been counted twice and one can appreciate
the necessity of having a revision ol the
quotas." ,

Make sure of the number! I
These days, when time never before meant so
much to the business man, the temptation is to
"cut corners."
In the use of the telephone, the tendency to
trust to memory to ask for Filbert 2971
when Filbert 2791 is wanted or to call Market
7000 when Lombard 7000 is the desired con
nectionhas a particularly disturbing effect
on the service of both the person calling and
. the person called in error.
The memory method is no "short cut." It is
a time waster and is something which the
public, in its own interest, should strive to
avoid, especially in these abnormal times.
The' use of the telephone directory is the
first step toward prompt and effective service.

Will Russia
Make Good?
Isaac F. Marcosson Discusses
This Important Subject in
Sunday's Public Ledger ,
ttOUSSIA s today the world's puzzle.
This does not mean that, her
future is uncertain. Politically, the
nation has found itself. The difficulty
lies with the Extremists now in control,
who do not know what they want,"
says Isaac F. Marcosson in answer to
the much-discussed question, "Will
Russia make good?"
Mr. Marcosson was fortunate
enough to reach Russia immediately
after the revolution. Therefore, he
had a wonderful opportunity to study
conditions as they existed in that new
democracy.
In Sunday's Public Ledger he
gives an intensely interesting story
regarding Russia's internal condition.
In closing he says that the future of
Russia is in the hands of Kerensky
because he knows the Russian, andean
sway him as no other. Reaw this
