Bulletin.
Washington. May 23.—Theatrical
performers have been excepted from
the Ijhw draft regulations ut the dl-
rectloip^f Secretary Baker, who is said
to feel that the people cannot do with-
out all amusement In war time and
that other amusements could be dis-
pensed with more Beadlly.
Washington, May 13.—Every man
of draft age must either work or flglh
after July 1. under a drastic amend-
ment to the selective service regula-
tions announced today by General
Crowder, provost marshal general.
Not only Idlera, but all draft regis-
trants engaged in what are held to be
nonnseful occupations are to be haled
before local boards find given the
choice of a new Job or the army.
Gambler*, race track and bucket
shop attendants and fortune telb-rs
j head the list, but those who will Ik?
leached by the new regulation also in-
clude waiters and bartenders, theater
usher* ami attendants, passenger ele-
vator operators and otf-er attendants
of clubs, hotels, stores, etc., domestics
and clerks In store*.
Deferred classification granted on ac-
count of dependent;' will br disregard*
ed entirely iu applying the rule. A
man may be at the bottom of class 1,
or even In class 4, but If he falls with-
in the regulation and refuses to take
useful employment he will be given a
uew number In class 1 that will send
him Into the military service forthwith.
Local boards are authorized to use dis-
cretion only where they find that <-n-
forced <iinnge of employment would
result in disproportionate hardship up
un his dependents.
Msy Solve the Labor Pro.blem.
it has been know n for some time that
some form of "work or fight" plan has
been submitted !<> President Wilson,
but there has been no Intimation that it
was so far reaching In Its 'scope. Both
the military authorities and depart-
ment of labor officials believe that It
will go u long way toward solving tbe
labor problem for farmers, shipbulld- ,
era and munition makers and will end.
for the present at least, talk of e< n-
•cription of labor. The announcement
today gives notice signifiesntly that the
list of nonuseful occupations will be < x
tench'd from lime to time a> ne<v--;',v
requires.
The statement of the provost mar-
shal general's office is us follows:
"Provost Marshal General Crowder
today announced an amendment to the
seiective service regulations which
deals with the great question of Com-
pelling men not engaged In a useful
occupation Immediately to apply them-
selves to some form of labor, contrib-
uting to the general good. The Idler,
too. will find himself confronted with
the alternative of finding "Ultahle em-
ployment or entering the nrtny.
"This regulation phivldcs that after
July 1 any registrant who Is found by
u local board to be a huHtmil Idler or
not engaged in some useful occupation
shall be summoned before the board,
gi\cn n chance to explain and, in the
absence of a sstlsfactor.v explanation,
to be inducted into the military service
of the United States.
"Any local board will be authorized
to take action, whether It liio- an orig-
inal Jurisdiction of the registrant or
not; in other words, any man baiting
around a poolroom in Chicago may be
held to answ er to a Chicago board even
though hi* may have registered !n
New York and lived there most of hl1-
II fe.
"The regulations w hich apply to Idle j
r< glMrants will be deemed to apoly
also to gamblers of all description and
employees ami attendants of bucket-
shops and race tracks, fortune tellers,
clairvoyants, palmists and the like,
who for the purpose of the restitutions
sIihII be considered as Idlers.
New Rule la Sweeping.
"The new regulation will al-o aff<*ct
the following classes:
"(a) Persons engaged In the serving
of fi-od and drink, or either, tn public
places. Including hotels and social j
clubs.
"(b) Passenger elevator operators
and attendants, doormen footmen and
other attendant* of clubs, hotels,
-tore*, apartt ent houses, office bvilld-
,«nd betbboin-e-
i, i p. mi- 1 '"ding ushers and

,. «l tn ' t.oti i <•
•tents, excepting
. • i> In legitimate con-
cert*, operas or theatrical perform-
ance.
"(d) Persona employed in domestic
service.
"(e) Soles clerks and other clerks
employed In stores and other mercan-
tile establishments.
"Men who are engaged as above or
who are idlers will not be permitted
to jteek relief because of the fact that
they have drawn a later order num-
ber or becMtise they have been placed
,n class II, IJI or IV on the grounds of
dependency. The face thut he Is not
u.sefully employed will outweigh both
of the above conditions.

"The regulation throws a further
safeguard around men not usefully ern-
ployed by providing that whf?r>- 'here
are compiling domestic clrcurnsiances
that would not permit change of em-
ployment by the registrant without dis-
proportionate hardship to hts depend-
ents or where a change from nonuseful
to useful employment or occupation
would necessitate a removal of the
registrant or his family, local boards
muy give consideration to the circum-
stance*.
"Tbe regulation further provides
tliat where such a change of employ-
ment would compel the night employ-
ment of women under circumstances
which a board might deem unsuitable
for such employment of women the
hoard may take such circumstances

cision."

men who became 21 years of age since

Only About Half
the Steer is Beef
*?XSi-SsK'Si
Live Weight 1200 pounda
&
Dressed Weight 672 pounds of Beef
56%
When Swift, & Company buys
a steer weighing 1200 pounds,
only about 672 pounds goes to
market as beef; the other 528
pounds consists of hide, fats,
other by-products, and waste.
When the packer pays 15 cents a
pound for a steer, he sells the meat to
the retailer for about 24 cents. But
the packer gets only about 6 cents a
pound for the other 528 pounds.
This means that the packer gets
about 16 cents a pound for all the
products from a steer for which he
pays 15 cents.
The difference of 1 cent per pound
covers the cost of dressing, preparation
of by-products, freight on beef to all
parts of the United States, operation of
distributing houses, and leaves a net
profit of only about of a cent per
pound on all dressed beef sold.
Large volume of business and utiliza-
tion of parts that were formerly wasted,
make this achievement possible.
