(By United Pres.) .-. ;
ty.V Washington, July 7 The last pre
ii4iminary before the draft law. calls

.yVry Vbeing rushed to completion thrqugh
: v , nbtlt the country tonight. In the Ca,Vh
Ital' 'the great Federal supervising or
I 'W- ganization is ready and waiting upon
:iV ; ': the States.
-Prom 12 States final reports reach
'ed the Provost Marshal General's of
flce that every preparation was fin
jished. They are ready for the draft.
In response to urgent appeals rrom
General Crowder to expedite forma-
tinn of local boards, other States tele.
graphed assurances that they would
be ready soon.
.'General Crowder is straining the
1" resources of. his organization to stage
I the draft lottery within ten days. The
next day after every local board has
assembled and affixed the rea in se
rial numbers to the registration cards,
... . . 1 trr..i.lu.

ton
v a scheme for drawing the number
of men for the-first levy was laid
before Secretary Baker uc--. today.
-f: Under this scheme small numbered
slips of paper will be placed in little
gelatin capsules and' thrown into a
big glass globe. On the day of the
drawing they will be pulled out at
random.
Each number will draft the men in
every county and city holding tpe
,ke,,T" r-mber.
ue numDers are to correspond to
the red ink serial numbers now being
affixed to the registration cards by
local boards.
At the request of President Wil
son a committee of prominent men is
being picked to watch the lottery. It
will be a public affair,
In a message to the boards calling J
upon them to finish their worK at
once, General Crowder said "every
' day lost now means a day lost in the
r organization of the armies of the
United States" and this means thou
sands of lives
Following are the States that are I
ready and waiting: Rhode island,
Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana,
Maine, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ten
nessee, . West Virginia, Wisconsin,
Vermont, Arizona and the District of
Columbia.
HOOVER ISSUES
HIS FIRST LESSON
TO HOUSEWIVES
(Continued From Page One.j
Printed on each card are oover s
rules, by which you can help Uncle
l. Sam win the war through the kitchen
' Summed up, the doctrine i3:
"Use Tess wheat, meat, milk, fats,
' sugar and fuel.
''"TTsto mnro friiito vpp-ptahlps nnrt
foods not suitable to be sent to the a
camps or firing lines.
"Buy food grown close to your
home. This reduces the food distri
bution problem and gives the railroad?
more facilities for war materials and
troops!."
"The rules are simple and easy,"
said Hoover tonight. "Any one can
; follow them. All of us must.f Win
the war by giving your own dally serv-(
ice. ' '
S "you can save wheat by having one
wheatless meal a day. Use corn, oat
,meal, barley or rye bread and non
X wjieat breakfast food- Order bread
24 "hours in advance, so your baker
won't over-bake. Cut the loaf, on the
t&ble as required. Use stale bread
for cooking and toast. Eat less cake
' and pastry.
"Save the meat by eating beef,
- .mutton, or pork not more than once
- a day. Substitute fresh vegetables
. and fish. Serve smaller portions.
Serve stews instead of steaks. Use
all left-overs. This means moat
' enough for everyone at mtsonabie
prices.
"Save milk by using every drop;!
give the children plenty, but use but-'
ter milk and sour milk for making
" cheese and cooking. Use less cream.
"Save fats. -We are the world's
greatest fat wasters. Butter is essen
tial to child growth, use it on the table
but not in cooking. Fry fewer things.
Soap contains fats. Don't waste.it.'
-Make your own washing soap at home
. out of saved fats.
. "Save sugar. 'We use three times
as much pery person as our allies. Use
less candy and sweet drinks. Do not
stint the use of sugar in. putting up
.jams and fruit. They save butter.
"Save fuel. Coal comes from a dis-
tance. Railways are over burdened
hauling war materials. Help relieve
them by burning fewer fires. .' Use
-: wood when you can. --
."Use perishable foods. Fruits and
'. vegetables we have in' abundance. As
j a nation we eat too little green stuffs.
V Double these and improve your health.
- Store potatoes and other roots prpp-
erly and they will keep. Begin now
to can or dry all surplus garden stuffs
. "Use local, supplies. Patronize your
'-. local producer. Distance means mon
.y Buy perishable food from the
j neighborhood nearest and thus save
transportation.
' , . - The first girls' high school in the
' " ?TJhited States was established in . 1826.
( U.Ten thousand women are employed
r In" the printing and binding trades in
. 'England. . -
'' Martin Luther was one of the first
f-To' advocate the employment of women
