All Maried Men to Be Exempt in First Draft Washington, May 28. All mar ried men will be exempted on the first draft. There will be no whole sale industrial exemptions by speci fied classes or occupations. While many details of the operation of the system by which 500,000 men be tween 21 and 31 years old will be picked for the army are still to be formulated, the two focal points mentioned above have been settled. They are embodied in a list of rules prepared by the distinguished com mittee of civilians called together by President Wilson and working on the exemption features with the provost marshall general. The conferences with the higher and responsible offi cials, it was disclosed to-day. have resulted in approval of the two ma jor points. The two questions of exemption of ' ■sen with dependents and those in 1 industry at home have proved the most difficult to work out with even handed justice. The difficulty of de termining whether a married man was actually needed to support his family was the consideration that finally determined the officials to ex empt all married men. As the men with other dependent relatives.such as an aged mother or father, the decision will be up to the local county or city board, with lin a". decision, in case of appeal, resting with a district Federal board. Ap peal from the district board may, in turn, be made to President Wilson.

MONDAY EVENING, PLAN INTENSIVE LOAN CAMPAIGN FOR THREE DAYS Executive Committee Plans Vigorous Drive June 7, 8 and 9 A campaign within a campaign is now the plan of the executive com mittee of the Liberty Loan. June 7, 8 and 9 has been desig nated when special campaign work ers will cover the city In a final ef fort to interest the people of Harris burg in the loan and to endeavor to awaken the small subscriber to the necessity of quick action in bring ing forward the money to finance the operations of the nation during the period of war. The campaign committee met this morning in the office of the Dauphin Deposit Company with E. J. Hockenbury, who is donating his services to the campaigners for the Liberty Loan. Mr. Hockenbury out lined plans for the three days of the special campaign. The first meeting will be held on Wednesday evening of next week. Thursday at noon Frank A. Vander lip, who is coming here to address an evening meeting will speak to the committee at a noon luncheon at the Board of Trade. Name Committee This morning the following cam paign committee was appointed to work under the direction of E. J. Hockenbury, D. E. Tracy, chairman: Vance C. McCormick, G. W. Reily, William Jennings, A. S. Patterson, H. C. Fry, A. E. Buchanan, V. F. LeCoq and Donald McCormick. Donald McCormick will appoint fcur division captains who will In turn appoint five team captains. A total of 20 teams will each consist of at least 10 men, or practically 200 men who will cover the city, each being assigned a portion of a list of 10,000 names. To Placard Cars The bond salesmen have secured 186 subscriptions totaling $23,200. Street cars will be placarded in the near future with advertisements for the Liberty Loan. The posters are furnished by the National Commit tee in Philadelphia. The executive committee is very anxious to secure the voluntary services of clerks who will assist in the work at the Board of Trade. The compiling of the applications and the handling of the correspond ence will require a great ileal of clerical work and the men who have been giving their services to the selling of the bonds believe the young men and women of Harris burg will be willing to do their share toward the work of the Lib erty Loan. Anyone willing to help should apply at the Chamber of Commerce or at the Board of Trade building. The members of the Pennsylvania Life Underwriters Association have named the following committee — John T. Shirley, chairman: D. W. Keenev. J. C. Johnson, W. B. Ben nett. W. S. Essick, F. L. Wright, E. R. Eckenrode, C. C. Getter. W. H. Cordry. W. E. Dietrick, H. W. Lind sey, A. A. Wert. This committee will direct the activities of the in surance men during the three days, when they have agreed to be speci ally active in the sale of bonds. Ministers Support Move Ministers in practically every church in the city yesterday spoke on the necessity of the small sub scribers doing their share toward ' the Liberty Loan. Stress was laid ! on the fact that only by each man. ] woman and child doing their share j in the present great struggle would our arms finally be able to win the war. Mention was made of the share of those not eligible or not capbale of military service should take to successfully carry on the war. The Liberty Loan was spoken of not only as being a preseftt measure to meet present necessities but something whose good would be en during and would guarantee future liberty an.d happiness to countless generations. Ministers everywhere recalled that the best young men of the country were daily going out to risk the most precious gift in their possession, that of human life, and then asked if those whose only part would be financial aid would withhold even that assist ance. ' "The young men will be con scripted. wealth is onjy asked for," said one minister in driving home the great need of the government for ready financial assistance. The Liberty Loan Publicity Bureau at 313 Market street proved to be a success Saturday afternoon and evening. A total of 28 persons : subscribed $2,800. The booths open 1 in several of the stores of the city also Proved a center of interest for i the dissemination of information. | Miller's Antiseptic Oil Known A* j Snake Oil Will Positively Relieve Pain In Three Minutes Try it right now for Rheumatism, Neuralgia.

NEW JUNIOR SCHOOL One of the chief features of the new Junior School and dining room of the Harrisburg Academy will be the immense playroom—33x7o feet, located in. the basement. The spacious diningroom, which will take the place of the present one in the main building, will hold 215 people. Three model recitation rooms will be placed on the mezsanine floor for the Junior School. The second floor will accommodate 22 boarding pupils. The build ing will he absolutely tireproof and the most modern, up-to-date plumbing, lighting, and heating will be in stalled. The work has already been begun on the foundations and it is expected that the building will be com pleted by September 15. W. S. Miller is the contractor and builder. NEW BUSINESS MARK BEING SET [Continued-From First Page.] before it was declared, were, made In a number of instances, as the great need for supplies was pointed out. From munitions to knit goods in the manufacturing field to the busi ness houses selling all kinds of mer chandise and furnishings, both neces sities and come the same answer: "This will be a bumper year. Never before In the history of trade has there been a condition of pros perity such as now." Starting with the beginning of the world war, America took a big jump industrially and commercially. Facing a slump which would have put business almost at a standstill, orders started to come in. Since then the records in practically every busein sshouse in the country, wholesale and retail, and in the manufacturing plant offices, large and small, evidenced unprecedented increases. Demand for labor was the natural result, wage increases, and a steady onward and upward rush puttin bus iness in practically every community far above the greatest expectations, followed. CITY GETS RIG SHARE Harrisburg has shared extensive ly in this. A railroad center, an industrial center, and with flourishing commer cial conditions, opportunities almost unequaled anywhere presented them selves. Demand exceeding the sup ply starts every mill and factory working full time, bank clearings lumped millions in the totals for one year,—everywhere the prosperity went on. Predictions such as th eones made by the business and manufacturing men in the face of what has oc curred in the past have a doubled meaning. Here is what a few of them have to say: "Personally I believe conditions will improve for some time to come, with the need for famchinerv and other supplies," David E. Tracy, president of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce and of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works, said. "We are very busy and have been, and there are many unfilled orders." "Our business for this yfear has been up to the standard, and we look tor an increase. Labor conditions arc undoubtedly largely responsible for this and with the manufacturers still unable to meet the demand, there can be no doubt of the future," came from Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart, large downtown department store. Biggest Spring Business "The biggest spring business in the history of the store, in spite of high food prices and the war scare." Brown and Company reported. "We look for our biggest fall business, too." "The situation is very good and we have orders'now which will keep us busy for the remainder of the year," R. W. Moorhead, of the Moor head Knitting Company, said. Plenty of Work "We have plenty of work and fine prospects," W. G. Starry, president of the New Idea Hosiery Company, de- j clared. "1 believe business will get much better continually," declared J. Wil liam Bowman, of Bowman and Com pany. "Everyone knows of the prosperity of the steel business," began Robert 11. Irons, president of the Central Iron and Steel Company. "At present there is a litle lull until it is known just what the government will need be cause of the shipbuilding prdgram. But business will be good for some years to come, due, I think, to the situation in all lines of trade. After the war the big plants will be kept busy turning out supplies that will be needed here." Expect* Record e "We look forward to a record fall opening." was the prediction from the Kaufman store. "We are Increasing our floor space 1000 feet to meet the demands and increasing business." "The reason we can take such opti mistic views," said Doutrlch and Com pany, "'is because business has been exceptionally good during this year. We say without fear of criticism that this has been the most exceptional year we have ever enjoyed. "The growth of our business shows more than twenty-five per cent In crease over last year's figures, and 1916 was far beyond our greatest ex pectations, so you see there is no reason to complain about business. We expect to more than maintain this tw.enty-five per cent increase for the current year, as people are spending more than ever before. "We could not. for ourselves, say anything but good about the general outlook, and we are basing it all on our own business. The money paid out in Harrisburg and the surround ing country is being freely spent and we certainly received our share of the increased prosperity that has been knocking at our doors. But we were ready for this opportunity when it came, we had enormous stocks, and had made great preparations months and months age. "We believe that for the next two years, at least, that Harrisburg will enjoy the greatest and largest in creased business In history. We afe glad to give you our views at any time. We feel that everybody will be I benefited throughout the country by HARRISBURG tSßftl TELEGRAPH taking the same optimistic look, and if we all dwell on thoughts of big business, there is no reason why everybody should not be getting their allotment of increased business. "Harrisburg has always done its share in everything It has undertaken, in all civic movements and items oi interest, and business is bound to be good, where it has as much public spirit and patriotism shown as in our' city during the past few years." ; Fred W.

Moran, local Willard battery expert, "a groan, or a squeak, or a rattle like other parts of the machine do when they're out of order. It would be far better treated. When the car owner hears a squeak under the hood of his machine, or a rattle in the body, he knows that there is something wrong, and is not content until it has been corrected. "It is entirely different with a bat tery. It Is to the average motorist nothing more nor less than a black box. As he cannot get Into It, he is not very much Interested in its in ternal working, and when anything goes wrong with it, there is no noise to warn him that all Is not right. "On this account it usually gets J little attention. Perhaps the motorist thinks that because it Is quiet it is all right, and he is, on that account, apparently pained and shocked when some day it actually refuses to work for him. "Even though the battery does not make a noise when it Is not being well treated, there is one sure means of telling its condition and that Is by testing it with a hydrometer syringe. "Of course, the batt<*y has to be filled regularly with distilled water and any car owner who knows the first elements oi automobile and bat tery care *lll do this. It is a very simple matter at this time for the owner to stick a hydrometer into lus battery and get the specific gravity of it. The hydrometer reading is a sure index of the battery's condition. "We battery men realize that the hydrometer test Is the only means which the car owner has of keeping track of the condition of thiis battery; that, where other parts of the ma chine will give some indication or the neglect or trouble, the battery keeps silent. That is why we Wil lard Service Station men are offer ing to test any battery at any time. "Experience has taught us that this is the most satisfactory all-around for the car owner, because it does for him a thing that he might forget to do, or, even if he thought of It. neg lect to do, for the battery manufac turer. because a battery that is neg lected will not give good service and the manufacturer's product, there fore, gets a 'black eye' to the car manufacturer, when an accessory of the machine goes wrong the owner usually blames the machine itself and not that accessory. Every one is hap pier. "Any car owner that is wise* will take advantage of this free service that is offered. Battery tests tell a more eloquent story about the battery than squeaks or rattles do about the rest of the machinery of the ma chine." FRANKLIN NOT AVERSE TO TAX President Declares Large Pay roll Will Not Be Curtailed; 200 Cars Weekly Optimism was the dominant note of commendts made yesterday by H. H. Franklin, president of the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company, on what is happening in the automo bile business now that this country is at war with Germany. Mr. Franklin's views, conflicting somewhat with those promulgated by the National Automobile Cham ber of Commerce in the fight against the proposed war tax on automo biles, were of particular interest In bringing out the fact that the Frank lin industry, having the largest fac tory in Syracuse, has not suffered any curtailment through the declara tion of war, No orders have been canceled on account of war condi tions. The Franklin company will pay a tax of $1,000,000 on its factory out put if the proposal contained in the war revenue bill, now pending In Congress, to put a 5 per cent, tax on the list price of passenger automo biles, is adopted. This estimate is based on scheduled production for a year beginning June 1. More han 2,900 persons including the office force, are now employed at the plant and $70,000 is paid out every week in wages. Two hun dred motorcars are being produced each week. "When a state of war with Ger many was declared to exist, this company was 2,000 cars behind on shipping orders," Mr. Franklin ex plained. "With the increase in out put, due to plant expansion, orders and shipment have been about equal, so that the company is still appro ximately 2,000 cars behind on ship ping orders. "It may also be reassuring to Syra cuse people to know that the Frank lin business for the six months end ed May 1, 1917, shows an increase of 143 per cent, over that of the pre ceding six months." The Franklin Company, according to its president, is not particularly disturbed over the government plan to put a 5 per cent, tax on the list price of passenger automobiles. At the Same time it has taken the posi tion in communications to senators and representatives that nothing can be gained by singling out any one utility article for an extra heavy tax. "What we want 1a prosperity," Mr. Franklin declared yesterday. "The automobile, no long'er merely a thins for pleasure, is a great factor in prosperity, and has been for a num ber of years, simply because it keeps the money going; around."

ASK FOR and GET Horlick's The Original Malted Milk Cart YOU SUN Prick, J WHO WILL GET CHOATE'S TITLE? Can Metropolis Supply An other "Grand Old Man of America?" New York, May 28.—At the death of Joseph Choate, all tho world pro claimed him "America's Grand Old Man." His was just the combination of ripe and picturesque old age, warm human nature and distinguish ed national service to win the title by unanimous consent. Wit Is per haps tho quality of his wlrfch ap pealed most to the public. They loved him for its gentle phase which made him reply when asked who he would most like to be if he wero not himself—"l had rather be Mrs. Choate's second husband." •They ad mired him keenly for its caustic side, for Choate's wit was a two-edged weapon, the power of sarcasm which he vented so unspairingly In the fa mous damage suit against Russell Sage, and which enabled him on one occasion as a trial lawyer most effectively to reprimand the Judge on the bench for inattention, and get away with it. He loved at times to jest at his own advanced age. On one occasion recently he was waiting in a lobby after a public meeting for a medical friend who was a little older than he. "Where is that old doctor?" he exclaimed with mock petulence. "That man's getting so old he wastes a lot of my time." This reminds one of the almost boyish delight of John Blgelow on his 9 4th birthday. An drew Carnegie called to pay his re spects and was greeted by M. Blge low with, "Hello, my young friend." Indeed, It was not till the death of Mr. Bigelow, a week after that birthday party in 1911 that Mr. Choate succeeded to the national title of "Grand Old Man." Mr. Bige low's title was based not only on distinguished diplomatic service like Mr. Choate's, but on an even longer period in the public eye as Journalist and author extending over seventy years. He completed a book during his 92nd year. Shortly before his death he spoke at the dedication of the New York Public Library and apologized for being late by saying he had Just come from his dentist after a three hour session. Imagine having anything f~r a dentist to work on at 94! Also Imagine coming from a three-hour session of dental torture and making a public speech! Thus, like her buildings. New York's human landmarks pass. In deed, in this city of.change the hu man is often more durable than the inanimate. Who now walking her streets can succeed to Mr. Choate's title? Neither Andrew Carnegie nor Elihu Root, nor Chauncey Depew can hope to make such an appeal to the popular imagination, thought in the element of age and activity they might qualify. Mark Twain, had he survived, would have been the ideal title holder. It may be that the metropolis must wait a score of years—or will it be fifty—until Col. Roosevelt has attain ed to fullness of age before it can claim another internationally acknowledged "Grand Old Man." Time, so cherished and so abused by New Yorkers, has just lost two of its ancient abiding places in the passing of two historic clocks from City Hall Square. The clock in the old tower of St. Paul's Church, which had ticked oft a century of time when war was declared against Spain in 189 8, struck twelve ponder ous strokes at noon the other day and then for the first time in 119 years its time-worn ratchets were still and its wheels ceased to wliir. Persons hurrying down Broadway, glancing at the large dial just as their great-great-grandfathers had done before them, were startled to see that the gilded hands were gone. Workmen were busily engaged in in stalling new works to replace the old ones which bear the name of "Clerk enwell, London, 1798." A few days later, while the City Hall was being decorated for the re ception of the British War Commis sion, the tower caught fire and an other century-old timepiece was de stroyed. There is something personal about an old clock that makes its loss more felt even than the demolishing of an ancient building. The Liberty Loan is one of the war themes most talked of in New York at present. The new slogan of its promoters. "A Liberty Bond in Every Home." bids fair to be taken literally here. A sentimentally practical form of the flotation being practiced here is the inducing of parents to subscribe in the name of their young children. Many fathers in moderate circum stances report that their small sons have savings banks or postal savings accounts, outgrowths of their tin bankage, which are being converted into these bonds. There can be no more practical way of instilling ideas of patriotism in the minds of the young. Conscription cenftus is in the air now. To some people a census is particularly annoying. A lady of spinster-like appearance evidently from out of town, was on her way to the office of one of the volunteer patriotic organizations in a downtown sky scraper, the other day. As the express elevator started, the occupants began calling their floors. "Ten!" Squeaked a messenger boy. "Nineteen!" said a young man. "Sixteen!" simpered a still pretty stenographer who was absorbed in powdering some incipient wrinkles. The elevator man looked inquiring at the out-of-town spinster, the only one. who had not declared. "I'll give my age to the proper per son at the proper time," she "and when I do I'll give it right." she added with a vicious glance at the stenographer.

Educators in all parts of the coun try have been requested by the Na tional Association for the Study und Prevention of Tuberculosis to make use of "Health Plays" now being dis tributed by the association to teach the lessons of pure air, wholesome food and proper living.
