EXEMPTMHD
Such Is Recent Ruling From
Washington. City Dwellers
Not Eligible in Towns of 30,-
000 Population.
Atlanta, Ga. —For the exemption
board* of Fulton, Chatham. Richmond
mid Mibb Counties. Governor Harris
lias been requested by the war de
partment to nominate men who reside
outside of the city limits of Atlanta
Savannah, Augusta Mnd Macon, re-’
spectivelq.
For the exemption boards of these
counties the governor has nominated
the sheriff and elerk and a physician
but in view of the request of the war
department It wtil be necessary for
him to muke new nominations, on as
eount of the fuct that the sheriff and
clerk In eaeh of them reside inside
of the cities named, and it happened
that the physicians nominated by the
governor reside in the cities also.
Just why the war department pre
fers men residing outside of- the city
limits is not explained In the request
to tlie governor, although it is sup
posed that the department regards
them as better acquainted with the
rural population.
For Fulton County, in place of
Sheriff l.owry, Clerk Broyles and
County Physician Hurt, Governor
Harris will nominate R. F. Thomp
son. justice of the peace in Hast Point;
B. F. Rurdett, who resides in Oak
Grove district, apd T)r. C. M. Curtis, a
College Park physician.
The exemption regulations provide
for an examination board for each 30,-
000 of population and major fraction
thereof. Mayor Pierpont of Savannah,
which has a population of 60,000, nomi
nated three boards. The governor
certified the nominations to the war
deiuirtment with a request for advice.
He has now been advised that only
two boards will be needed for Savan
nah and he Ima asked Mayor Pierpont
to re-arrange the nominations.
Sheriff Plunkett, of Richmond Coun
ty, has as yet received no official in
formation on the subject, but Is houriy
expecting it..
You seem able-bodi«d and healthy;
you ought to be strong enough tc
work." she remarked scrutlnizlngl.v.
"Yes. ma'am, I know. And you seem
beautiful enough to be on the stage,
but evidently you prefer the simple
life."
He got a square meal without any
further refereno to work.

TRAPSHOOTING FOR WOMEN
=== BRINGS -■■i.s-
THRILL, HEALTH AND POISE
I \ \
• - CMk’\ ' \
BY MRS. ADA SCHILLING
Pacific Coast Champion Woman
% Trapahot.
Trapshooting is done with a shot
gun. 4
And a shot gun is a sort of scary
proposition to the average woman. For
that reason it is best to begin .shoot
ing with a small bore rifle—say a 22
caliber rifle—which has no recoil
only a slight report.
These rifles cost little and ammuni
tion is inexpensive.
Mechanically, a gun is exceedinly
simple. Any of your friends will be
glad to give you a first lesson in load
ing and handling a rifle.
Begin by shooting at a target fairly
close up so you can see exactly what
you are doing and get the knack of
using the sights.
You will quickly learn to co-ordi
nate your eye and hand—to point your
gun properly and overcome your
squeamishness. You might begin to
get these rudiments of markmanship
even before purchasing your own gun.
Kvery city and nearly every town has
rifle ranges where women may shoot
with perfect safety and propriety.
I always begin aiming a little below
the target, drawing slowly up to the
"bullseye” In a vertical line. This
tends to prevent wobbling. Then as
the slciits cross the center of the tar
get pull the. trigger steadily. Don't
Jerk the u-lgqer; learn to pull It with
out shaking the gun and to hold the
sights cn the tagret even for a mo
ment after you’ve fired.
By drawing up to the "bullseye” in
a vertical line your hit will be either
above or below the target center, un
less it it hit, and you will thus learn
to trim your sights finer.
This method will develop marks
man-hip faster than any other. I have
found.
Learn to keep the rifle butt tight
against the shoulder, and rest the
weight of your body forward on the
left foot. This Is not only correct
shooting fortn, but it will become im
portant in using the shot gun.
With the latter there is a slight
"kick ’ back against the shoulder at the
Instant of file, due to the recoil of the
exploding shell and the body must be
slightly braced to withstand it.
..(Tomorrow Mrs. Schilling gives se
crets of marksmanship.
DRAFT EXEMPTIONS
How the Government Will Choose the First Contingent
From the 10,000,000 Men Who Registered
The fact that practically ten million men of military age registered in one day in
the United States is, in the opinion of American newspapers, this country’s conclusive
answer to all efforts to convince the German people that this is “Wilson’s War” and
that it is without popular support or approval in the world’s greatest Republic. It is also,
they add, our answer to “the spies, the conspirators, the demagogs who tried to obstruct
the Draft Law. The history of the past several days will be read and studied in Berlin
where it will be recognized, in the opinion of the Springfield Republican , as “a registration
not merely of men but of a national purpose, indorsed, supported, and confirmed.”
Now that the first step in raising an immense American army has been taken, the ques
tion as to who will be exempt from military duty is engrossing public attention. In THE
LITERARY DIGEST sfor June 16th the leading article gives a comprehensive account
drawn from the press of the United States of the workings of the draft, and also includes the
latest obtainable information as to the government’s plan for passing upon the cases of men
who have claimed, or will claim, exemption. Other articles of more than usual interest are:
Why We Are Fighting Germany
War-Time Raids on Labor
What England Thinks of Us
Food Without Farms
How Naval Flags Are Made
The Theater-Women’s War Work
A Mid-Victorian Literary Tempest
An Objector to Theology in National Hymns
Why Protestants Stay Protestants
There is no knowledge of more importance to
the busy man or woman of to-day than accurate in
formation on current events —a correct understand
ing of what is going on in the world about them, the
great movements, social, commercial, and political,
that are taking pfhee daily and hourly. Such knowl
edge means everything to you. It will be a big ad
vantage to you in your business, a valuable asset in
society, and will broaden and clarify your view-point
