M Lady Asictant Telephone Town’s Quota Under Probable i Auto Registration Plates ington. Under the provisions of the selective draft act approximately 53,599 men residents of Rhode Island, between the ages of 21 to 30, inclusive, will enroll in accordance with the act. In order to simplify the task of the men who are to have charze of the actual en- rollment Governor Beeckman will pro- claim a sdhool holiday on the day when the vouns men must resister, ana the schoolhouses will be used as centres for the work. A larze per- centage of those who are enrolled will not be subject to the draft on account of the exemptions for married men, those with dependent familles or en- gaged in occupations vital to the sus- tenance or military efficiency of the army and navy. The details for filling the state’s quo- ta has not peen worked out, but it is quite probable that each city and town will be called upon for a number equi- valent to the percentage that the Pop- ulation bears to the population of the state, and that Rhode Island’s quota will be from 3,000 to 5,000 men. In or- der to obtain the percentage the pop- ulation of the city or town is divided by the total population of the state which was 595,986 in 1915. . With the percentage fixed it is a comparatively simple matter to figure out the num- ber of men from each city or town for any definite quota. Thus, if 3,000 men are called for muitiply the percentage by 30 (one per cent. of the total quo- ta) to find the number of men to be drafted. If 5,000 men are called mul- tiply by 50. Under this plan Westerly with a population of 10,175, would have aun enrollment of 1013, and under a 3,000 quota would furnish 51 men, and un- der a 5,000 call 85 men. Hopkinton's call would be 12 and 21, Charlestown 4 and 7, Narragansett 7 and 12, North Kingstown 20 and 33, Richmond 7 and 12, South Kingstown 27 and 46. The quota of Providence would be 1250 and 89, Pawtucket 276 and 461, Newport 152 and 264, Central Falls 115 and 197, Cranston 135 and 225, Woonsocket 200 and 334, West Greenwich 3 and 4, and 50 on throuzghout the state on the same basis. After many years Rhode Island is to fall into line and have changed au- tomobile registration plates annually and along the progressive lines, the plates bearing the vear numerals. Heretofore the plates bore the regis- tration number and the initials R. I and were of the same type vear in and out. These new plates will be re- quired on_and after January 1, 1915 They will be made of open hearth steel and coated with elast icycle ena- mej thoroughly baked. The background will be black with figures and letters white. The plates will be made in four sizes, automobile, truck, dealers and trafler being 6x12, 6x10 and 6x8 inches depending upon the number of numer. als and letters to be carried. All mo- torcycles and motorevele side-car plates will be 4 1-2x8 inches. The registration numerals and let- ters on the plates of 6-inch height will be 3 1-2 inches high and have a stroke of one-half inch. The “R. L” and nu- merals in the vear date will be 1 1-4 inches high and will have a stroke of one-quarter inch The larger numerals and letters on the motorcycle and the side-car plates 1l be 2 1-2 inches high and will have a stroke of one-quarter inch. The “R. " and_year numerals will be 1 inch high with a one-elghth inch stroke. The pleasure car plates will carry only numerals to designate the regis- tration number. Trucks, as at pres- ent, will have the prefix “x” as now. Each dealer will have numbers with letter affixes for the drivers. The mo- torcycle plate will be distinguished by a prefix “B” and the motorcycle side- cars will have the prefix “N.” The contract provides that tne sev- eral sizes of plates shall be furnished at the following prices: 6x12 inches at 10 1-2 cents a plate: 6x10 inches at 10 cents a plate; 6x8 inches at 9 1-2 cents a plate, and ‘the 4 1-2x3 inches at 5.8 cents a plate. Miscelalneous plates, that is, duplicates and extra plates, will cost 50 cents each. The first plates will be furnished to motorists free, but all replacements will be charzed for at the rate of 50 cents per plate. Owing to the increase in the cost of road comstruction, materials and labor, the state board of public roads for Rhode Island has rejected all bids for reconstruction work, the price of such work having increased $10,000 a mile over last year. The board will main- tain the existing system of highways in the best manner possible. General repair work will be carried out dur- ing the working season. It is the opinion of the board, that the roads of bituminous macadam construction and the best roads of waterbound ma- cadam_construction will be preventel from deterioration appreciably during the year. Orders have not been received as yet by the Rhode Island physicans who have received commission in the Unit- ed States Medical Reserve Corps to report at the posts designated by the war department two weeks ago. The physicians awaiting_orders are Drs. John Champlin of Westerly, Ira Hart Noves, Harmon P. B. Jordan of Provi- dence, Peter L. Keouzh, Charles H. Holt of Pawtucket and Charles S. Christie of Riverpoint. It is probable that these physicians will not be or- dered into service until the selective draft is in operation, and it will be several months before they are ordered into actual service. In a baseball game of eleven innings the Westerly High school team was defeated Saturday afternon at Peace Soul Became Sodden. and the World's Crisis. Surprised by D. of H. Friends.
