(Suecial) Among the many questions aked every day at the office of the Adju tant Ger.era! regarding requirements of the war census, to be held Tuesday, June 5, the following are typical: 1. "I am a man 30 years old. I will be 31 on June 20. Do I have to register on War Census Day?" The answer is, Yes. Every male resident between the ages of 21 and 30 years, inclusive, must register. In other words, every man who has passed his 21st bi-thday and has not passed his 31st birthday, must reg ister. If a man's 31st birthday should fall on June 5, the date of the war census, he is then 31 years old and not sub ject to registration. If he is 31 years old the next day, June 6, then he must register. 2. "I am a British subject, 28 years old. I tried to enlist in the Oregon National Guard, but was re jected on account of poor physical condition. Do I have to register?" Yes. All male residents between the ages of 21 and 30 years, inclusive, must register under penalty of im prisonment. This includes aliens of any nationality, Japanese, Chinese, ilritish, Germans, Austrians, Mexi can or otherwise. One purpose of the war census is to obtain data as to the number and occupation of all aliens of military age. An alien, of course, will not be subject to military ser vice, but he must register. 3. "Does a man who will bo 21 years old the day before War Census day have to register?" Yes. And if he is 21 years old on War Census day itself, he must reg ister. If he is not 21 years old until June 6, he docs not have to register. 4. "My age is 39 years and I am a farmer. Am 1 subject to penalty if I do not register?" No. Only male residents between the ages of 21 and 30 years, inclusive, are subject to registration. Ire Oram Social Given Death of Mrs. Yanderanter Mr. Pearl Brooks Skk Mr. Ed.

It is the only volunteer agency for relief commissioned by the Government in case of war or overwhelming disaster. The President of the United States is President of the Society. The Red Cross reports to Con gress; its accounts are audited by the War Department; all that it does is open to public scrutiny. Since 1905 the American Red Cross has rendered valuable aid in 88 disasters. It has received and expended more than $15,000,000 in money and relief supplies. Thousands of families have been helped and kept together; suffer ing has been relieved; and greater misery prevented. Its work also includes preventive and educational measures. No other agency provides so practical an opportunity for help ing humanity in times of great crises, when the need is urgent, and the measures for relief must be prompt and adequate.
