Marvin f. MalIOy Enlists After Many
DiscOuraging Trials.

Marvin E. Malloy, son of DR.. Malloy, of
East North street, after many discourage
ments, has finally succeeded in getting into
the army on the hospital corps Young
Malloy is but eighteen years of age. When
the National Guard was transferred into
the United States service he was rejected
because he could not show the proper chest
expansion by fraction of an inch although
he was given three trials. After his COM
pany went away the young man. who was
almost heartbroken, applied to Captain
Black, the United States recruiting officer,
who suggested that he write to the War
Department. Even this did not afford
Malloy the coveted opportunity. Captain
Black, becoming interested in the
young man on account of his
earnestness, finally made arrangements
to place him in the hospital corps Then
wonder of wonders! Young Malloys chest
measurement showed much more than the
necessary expansion. 1t appears that his
earnestness and desire to pass muster so
ag1tated him that he could not breathe
properly 1t was sort of stage fright or
stag fever, he does not know which His
parents would have been well satisfied If he
had been defeated in his desires.
Young Malloy has been sent to Chicago
and later will go to San Francisco for en-
barkation on the Philippine expedition.
