EXAMINING RECRUITS.
Obstacles In the Way of Getting Into Uncl
SANS Army.

Obstacles In the Way of Getting Into Uncle
SANS Army.
II Is not so easy for man to get into
the United States army. He must go
through AS rigid an examination AS IA
life insurance company would insist on,
and even If he passes that he is not
certain to be admitted, as defective
eyesight or imperfect hearing, that
would not hurt u mans prospects or
longevity. keep him out of the army.
The recruiting officers need to know as
much as a surgeon. Besides that. they
acquire knowledge of human nature
which helps them pick out the best
men. Hardly half the applicants for
enlistment are received, and as a re-
suit of this careful culling. and the re-
enlistment of the best of the old men,
the physical and the moral standard OF
the army is constantly rising.
The most careful examination is
made OF the chest and heart. A table
has been prepared giving the mean
chest measurement and mobility for
each inch of height. A recruit five
feet four should weigh 12Spounds, have
four inches, and a mobility of two
inches. At five feet height his weight
should be al pounds, his mean chest
844 inches, and his mobility two and
one-half inches. Each inch in height
over five feet four should mean an in
| ne <u,n with
five pounds extra for each inch over
five feet seven. After five feet seven
there should be an increase of half an
inch in the mean chest measurement
for each inch in height. The table gives
the weight, height and chest mobility
up to feet 3, where the weight should
be 100 pounds. the mean chest SSinches,
and the mobility p inches. 1t would
be ground for rejection if the man
should be under weight, or il his mean
chest or chest mobility were too small.
The measurements OF the chest are
made by having the recruit raise his
arms above his head. The tape is cir.
cled around the chest under the arm
pits. As the arms are lowered and the
air expelled, the measure is taken
Then a full inspiration, and the meas
ure is taken again ut the same point
The difference is the mobility.
) mobility of over three inches shows
that the chest is in good expansive
condition.
: The recruit hops around the room
first on one leg and then on the other
Upon his return the recruiting office
feels his pulse. to see how much it ha
quickened through the exercise. Th
glands, muscles and bones are ex
amined, and occasionally measure
ments are taken of the arms, legs AM
stomach. The recruit then goe
through the positions required in drill
; ing, and he hops his arms, legs, hands
feet and fingers around to show tn
officer that they work freely. The es
animation extends to every part of tn

the fire was under control. From the
furniture store the flames ate their way
into the clothing store OF A. Appel &

While this 10 much less than the phe.

Kansas still leads in the extent of new
