ADVISERS WILL' ASSIST length of Service of Employes Will Be Taken Into Consideration in Order to Defeat Any Attempt to Dodge Conscription, It i WASHINGTON, Sept 9. Tho new priorities classification of industry an oounced yesterday by the War Indus tries Board will not bind district draft boards in determining deferred classl fication on occupational grounds of men between the ages of 18 and 45 who are to register Thursday. The boards may determine that other Industries are necessary, but in grant ing deferred classifications they must satisfy themselves that the industry is necessary and that the individual reg istrant is essential to the industry. This was disclosed by General Crow der's plans for occupational exemptions In classifying new registrants. The new draft regulations provide for an advisory committee of three to each district board, one to be named by the Department of Labor, onet by the Department of Agriculture and 'the third by the board Itself. Much Leeway Allowed The new regulation says: "Such lists shall not be regarded as binding upon the district board in its conclusions as to whether or not any particular industry, occupation, or em ployment, including agriculture, is necessary industry, occupation, or em ployment within the meaning of the law and regulations, nor shall such lists prevent the district board from holding as necessary any industry, oc cupation or employment including agri culture, not contained therein. "Such preference lists and other facts nd information in the possession of ouch advisers will supplement the in formation in possession of the district boards, and will also be used to assist the district boards In dealing with specific cases." Detailing the method boards are to follow, the regulations say a registrant hall be considered entitled to exemp tion only when "completely engaged" In an occupation the boards clans' as essential: when his removal would re sult in substantial damage to the en terprise and when "the available sup ply of persons competent in the ca pacity is such that the registrant cannot be replaced without direct, sub stantial, material loss and detriment to the effective operation of the enter prise." Length of Service Counts. Further restricting the granting of deferred classification on industrial grounds, the regulations notify board that they should consider among othe things the length of time a 'registrant has been In employment and become convinced before granting his claim that he is "not now so engaged for the primary purpose of avoiding military service. The regulations fix the place of necessary workmen in. a necessary oc cupation in Class 2, the place of an expert or assistant manager or divi sional head in Class S, and the place of a sole manager or director in class 4. The advisory committees to the draft boards are empowered to claim deferred classifications for registrants who are entitled to It. but who for patriotic reasons may object to making the claim for themselves. General Crowder has insisted registrants entitled to such classification should make the claim when filling out their questionnaires as a patriotic duty to prevent unnecessary work by the draft boards.

Mobilization of the Nation's school boys for training that will fit many fered by various schools, averaging $500 per scholarship, and 100 young women of France are now on theii; way to take the courses so generously ot fered. An invitation to an English educa tional commission, comprising a mem bership of ten prominent educators from Great Britain's foremost colleges and universities, has been proffered and accepted.

WHITE SALMON,- 'Wash, Sept. 9. (Special.) An increasing acreage has been sown to wheat by the orchardists of the White Salmon Valley during the past few years. Until this year the wheat has been cut for hay, but to show their loyalty to the Government of them for shoulderbars and special-! and to aid in furnishing the wheat re- ized service In the American Army is the fundamental purpose of the stu- dnts' Army training corps, authorized by the War Department in more than 400 colleges and universities, accord ing to Da P. L. Campbell, president of the University of Oregon, who returned last night from Washington, D. C. Not only are the high school grad uates of last year urgently desired for immediate enrollment in the mil itary course provided by the various colleges, relates President Campbell, but all high schools will be asked so to condense thein courses that senior students of the present term may com plete their work by January and en roll for the military college course. President Campbell went East in July, Hwhere he first attended the convention of the National Education Association, having charge of ' the department of higher education. At the conclusion of the assembly he proceeded from Pitts burg to Washington, where he has since remained as secretary and treasurer of the American Council on Education, an organization of National scope which has worked with the War Department in the organization of the students' Army training course for all states. Opportunity Offered Young Men. "The purpose of the council was to mobilize the educational resources of our colleges and universities to the fullest extent for war purposes," said President ?ampbell last night. "There is nothing sentimental about the step, which is dictated by urgent need for specially trained material for commis sions and technical work. The Students' Army Training Corps offers a remarkable opportunity to young men. Subject to call in any case, the privilege Is afforded them of receiving special training whlcn wm Qualify theru for officers' commissions. for technicians, for medical worn lor any service for which they show spe cial qualification. The work has very important as pects, both for the present and post war periods. While the primary object is to supply trained men for officer material and technicians, it is also the object of the Government to keep in tact the educational programme of the country during the war, not permitting It to break down under war stress, as have those of France and Lngland. Way Osesed to Officers' Camps. "The advantages to many of the stu dents will become apparent when it is realized that 90.000 additional officers will be needed for service by next June. A large number of the boys en rolled in the Students' Army Training Corps will have the opportunity to at tend officers' training camps. This Is big, generous policy that the War Department is offering. Its importance cannot be overestimated. The boys are paid from (he date of their enlistment, and they are supplied with uniform, rooms, subsistence and tuition. "Those who 'are now enrolling will be tested by January, to determine their fitness for certain work. The boys who are selected for courses at officers' training camps may leave in January, .while .those selected for technicians or medical work will con tinue their special studies along those lines in higher courses." Dr. Campbell talked interestingly of the varied projects of the American Council on Education, comprising the ork of a committee on international relationships, which is designed to perfect mutual understandings and standardized courses that will permit the passage of students from one coun try to the other, taking full advantage of the educational facilities provided by both. Preach G4rl Get Scholarships. Another phase of work was the se curing of scholarships in American col leges and universities for French girls. Already 127 .scholarships have been of- quired, threshing and binding machines have been purchased and the wheat properly matured and threshed. Western Klickitat County will fur nish this season close to 25,000 bushels of this grain. In the Husum district some orchardists have even taken out blocks of their trees and sown entire tracts to wheat. BOISE MAN DJES IN ACTION News of Death of Lieutenant Regan In France Shocks Friends.

This Week Only A Free Tube This Offer on Pepsodent Ends Saturday Night Don't Miss It Cut Out the Coupon and Present It Today N ew Facts About Teeth Which Supplant All Former TTieories All Statements Approved by High Dental Authorities ; I- . y ' i'' ' I ' V" ,'XTH I V ' 'A '-i'" Tooth Troubles Are Caused by a Film Now it is known that a film on teeth causes nearly all tooth troubles. That discovery has upset all old teeth cleaning theories. Today every authority knows that cleaning teeth means more than brushing off debris. Tooth preserva tion calls for something to constantly combat that film. That slimy film which you feel with your tongue is the great tooth destroyer. That is what discolors not your teeth. It hardens into tartar. It holds food which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Also of many internal troubles. The dental name for this film is bacterial plaque. It gets into crevices, hardens and stays and resists the tooth brush. It makes the teeth unclean unsafe however well you brush them. Film-covered teeth are bound to discolor. They constantly breed gem?s. And pyorrhea, it is said, afflicts jninc folks in ten. Film is the source of these troubles. And the chief object of teeth cleaning is its removal. Unless you com bat it day by day it will fix itself and stay. These facts are now recognized by every authority. Dentists long have known why brushing fails to save the teeth. And science long has sought a way to fight this dangerous film. ' Science now has found a way. Today it is embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. It has proved itself to ' able authorities by four . years of clinical tests. Now it seems clear that this in vention will revolutionize teeth cleaning. Anyone can quickly prove this. So we now sup ply a One-Week tube and urge everyone to try it. The New-Day Dentifrice Your Brushing Fails to Remove It The ordinary dentifrice is not sufficiently effective in removing the film. Any soapy dentifrice is alkaline and tends to make the film more resistant to the brush That is why old methods have proved vineffective. Teeth have still discolored, still decayed. Statistics show that tooth troubles have constantly increased, despite th wide use of the tooth brush. The time has come to discard inefficient methods and apply a film remover. Let one week show what Pepso dent can do. Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albu min. The film is albuminous matter. The object is to dissolve the film, then to constantly prevent its formation. Pepsin alone won't do. It must be activated, and the usual activator is an acid, harmful to the teeth. But now a harmless activating method has been found. Five gov ernments have already granted patents. So pepsin now. can be efficiently applied. - Pepsodent embodies this new method. Years of clin ical tests in thousands of cases have placad its efficiency beyond any question. Today its use is advocated by den tists everywhere. You will see the reason clearly when you make a one-week test. Present this coupon to any dealer listed below for a One-Week tube. Use it like any tooth paste and watch the results. Note how clean your teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the film. See how your teeth whiten as the fixed film disappears. Then you will know what clean teeth really mean. You will know .that film can be combated. And never again will you return, we believe, to the old teeth cleaning methods. This is most important to you. That film is your teeth's great enemy.
