COJilMITTEES ARE NAMED Corrugated Iron Building is Proposed for Mechan v ical Equipment " Dealing with both past and futre problems of finance and manage ment, the regular meeting of the Sa- lem scnooi board, held at the high school building last night, was one of unusual interest and importance. The two new members of the board Chauncey Bishop and IL O. White were sworn in and installed. and IL L.-Clark Was formally in ducted into the office of chairman. Brief speeches were made by re . tiring Chairman White and by the retiring member Max O. Buren, in which both expressed their , apprec iation of the courtesies extended them during their incumbency and noted the work; that had. been ac complished. In retiring from the board, a rote of thanks was extend ed to Mr. Buren for the capable and faithful service he had rendred. Comittees Are Named On assuming the chair, Mr. Clark announced the folowing committees. the fire named to act as chairman: Supplies, Bishop and White; building and grounds.

Chairman Clark said: "I wish that the board bear In mind that nothing should be allowed to obstruct the way for the thorough education of our school children in the fundamentals. Further, that on account, of. the winning of the war and the unusual demand-for money at this time, not a dollar should be spent except for that which is ab solutely necessary. Further, that ex periments are expensive and should be considered carefully from all angles before adopting. The chair man earnestly requests the sincere and friendly co-operation of all the members of the board." Vlck Offers Suggestions In the line of business, bids from several firms on the proposed equip ment for the new mechanical depart ment were opened and considered, and the matter of purchasing left to the supplies committee. Superin tendent Todd suggested that the sup plies committee might act to a bet ter advanage for the school If it were not confined stricUy to the amount of '$2000 stipulated. O. IL Vlck of the advisorr board was present and gave the committee the benefit of his experience in the matter of installing and operating latnes ana other equipment Te em nasized the fact that It nM h utterly Impractible to have the ma- cmne snop m tne basement or the school building on account of the noise and. fumes. ' He suggested that & corrugated iron building be erected to serve as temporary quarters, and roughly estimated that such a build ing might be erected for about si son He also noted the experience of Port land, schools In the operation of the mechanical department, statin r that a large part of 'the operating ex pense of the department was met by making tools for use In the ship yards. Winslow suggested that a perma nent building - be erected. lar , enough to accommodate both the , roecnamcai and domestic science de partments, since the room in the school building would be required for. other purposes in. a few years. ; On motion the matter was leU ; to the buildings and grounds commit- ' tee,' with orders to report at a fu- , tare meeting. Superintendent Todd carted atten tion to the fact that In order to draw STOMACH TORN UP Iaiiana Lady Describes Conditio, WMch She Says Was Dae To Constipation and Tells of , j ..Relief Obtained From 7 Bladt-Drauslt.

Mrs. Annie Johnson, cl this place, writes: i ! well remember I suffered for along time with constipa tion, which would get me down. 1 took doctors' medicines and any number of purgatives. They would leave me: in a worse condition than I was before taking, and my stomach so upset ... I know once I suffered . . . from consti nation. I was so ill we had to have the doctor, Just so nervous and feverish. The doctor said I would have to quit medicines, mj stomach was so bad ... . My husband was reading and found something, about Tbedford's Black Draught and brought me a package to try. 1 used it regularly at first until! be. can to feel better, then I used just a dose occasionally. I was cured of this con stipation and am sure the Black-Draught did it" . 6 If yosr stomach is out of order, you wiU suffer from such disagreeable symp toms as headache, biliousness, indiges tion, etc, and unless something is done, ferious trouble may result Thedford's Black-Draught has been f nttnrf valuable . mnMf fnr troubles.

There is already some fund son hand for the furnish ings. Last year the cafeteria turned In over S$4, and this year will turn In $24.48 from the Washington Jun ior high, and IS9.93 from the high school, making a total of $198.55. The possible Items of this scheme are as follows: Cost of machinery. $2300; other equipment. $1000; cost of shed. $-1300; furnishings for the house. $500; total. $5300. To ap ply on this there is a subsidy from the government of $1700: one teach er to be subsidized, $700; money from cafeteria, $200 ;leaving a bal ance of $2700. Other Positions Secured. Mr. Todd called attention to the fact that Miss Vera Albin and Miss WIcklund. who were selected to places in the commercial department at the last meeting, had declined to serve on account of securing positions elsewhere. Mr. Horning, who was also elected at that time, has been elected to a position in Tacoma at a salary of $1200. He is trying to se cure release In order to come to this cltT where his home Is located. Miss Helen E. Jndge was elected to a position in the elementary grades at a salary of $ SO a month. A complete detailed report of the funds received from tuitions and other sources was sumbUted by Principal Kelson and approved. The budget of supplies covering all the needs of all the buildings was pre sented .accepted and referred to the supplies committee. It was shown that the demands for supplies for the coming year would be consider ably lighter thtn last, the laboratory supplies being cut r0 per cent Building to IV Altered. Superintendent Todd reported on necessary, alterations that must be made on the Lincoln school and this was referred to the buildings and grounds committee.

Ameri can troops will be in Italy probably early in July, according to notifica tion given to the Italian authorities by State Senator Cotillo of New York, who is here on an official mission. The announcement of direct par ticipation of American units along side the forces now fighting in Italy has produced an encouraging effect SOLDIERS TO BE INDEXED Club Plans to Obtain Name and Address of Every Man in Service. The making of a monster card In dex to include every man from Mar ion county in the service of his coun try is the plan of the Salem Commer cial club. The list is intended to in clude the name, home address, near est relative and service address. No such list at the present time Is avail able, the nearest epproach being a list compiled by the Statesman office of those who have gone from Salem and vicinity. When the list Is completed or has gotten far enopgh along to warrant it. the club plans to inaugurate a letter writing campaign, so that Mar lon county boys can be assured of the steadfastness of those at home, and certain of the regard in which the home folk hold them. . The compilation of such an lddex will require the co-operation of the entire community. Any one who knows the service address of any of the boys is invited to drop a card to the Salem Commercial club with such information; or call up the cdub by telephone. Without such co-operation it will not be possible to compile the list and it is hoped and expected that people will respond readily. The number of men who have gone from Salem and vicinity Is well over 1000, and perhaps another thousand have goine from points In the coun ty outside of salem. The club is anxious to make the list complete and exhaustive, to include. men of the old state militia, men who have enlisted in the various branches of tte army or navy, and selected draft men. The Statesman's list Is being used as a nucleus for the gathering of the information. German submarines which sank ships off the New Jersey coast had to travel nearly 5.0000 miles around the north of Great Britain to reach their destination.

There will be more harmony; more of the soul-stirring and heart-gladdening variety; the kind that lin gers long after one forgets the syn copated, jaxzy tunes of the minstrel man or the comic opera. Selected with a ' view toward balance and variety, the program which the chorus will render will easily Include several numbers upon which any or every man, woman and child can dote. Then. too. Mrs. Lulu DahlxMillers rich cantralto voice will surely find a hearty welcome from the ears of those who will hear her. Mrs. Miller Is one of those artists who sensibly confines her selections strictly to the class of music which at once "strikes home" with the average American. She is endowed with an abundance of womanliness and carries herself with ease, and grace before her list eners. Miss Bernlce Clark, a favorite In Salem musical circles, will play the accompaniments for Miss Miller, as well as for the chorus members and will be assisted In this delicate and Important feature of the concert by Miss Beatrice Shelton at 'the organ and Miss Lillian Stege. violin, these latter two instruments being employ ed for added effect In several of the choral selections.

Last year 10.500 numbers were used and the drawing contlw'jcd for 17 hours. With a maximum of 1200 men estimate! from the district showing the Largest registration on June 5, It Is expected that the second lottery will be com pleted In three hours.

Tho order In which a registrant's number is drawn Thursday will determine only his place In the cla.s to which he will be assigned. . whereas the Hrst drawing was to fix theregM raat's place in the order of his call for service.

SENTIMENT IS DIVIDED Chamberlain Vigorously Sup ports flan as It Stands at Present WASHINGTON. June 25. Exten sion of the draft ages above and below the existing limits 21 to 31 years was discussed at length in the senate today. During the discussion Senator Fall revised his amendment which changed the ages to 18 and 45, mak ing the ages 20 and 40 and eliminat ing a provision that youths under 21 should not be called into active mil itary service. Disposal of the amendment and a substitute by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, went over until tomorrow, with sentiment apparently evenly di vided. In the meantime some sen ators regarded It as probable that some expression might come from the administration In view of a re port that President Wilson opposes any change for the present. Favor Raising Maximum. The Fall amendment was vigor ously supported by Senator Cham berlain of Oregon, chairman of the military committee, and Senators Cummins or Iowa, Reed of Missouri, and others. Opposition was Tolced fcy Senators Thomas of Colorado, McKellar of Tennessee, and Klrby of Arkansas, all Democratic mem bers or the military committee, while several other senators declared they favored raising the maximum draft age, but opposed lowering the mini mum. Senator Hitchcock's substitute amendment fixes the age limits at 20 and 40. respectively, and provides that citizens of the allied countries resident In the United States shalfbe subject to draft and that nationals of neutral countries who claim ex emption shall be disbarred from American citizenship.
