SURPLUS AvOIRDUPOlS
BARS GIANT FROM NAVY
Recruiting Officer at San Antonio AS
tonished When the Applicant
Passed Physical Examination

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 10
When George T. Watterson, % years
of age, six feet six inches tall and
Weighing $50 pounds net. put in ap-
pearance at the local naval recruiting
station and asked to be enlisted for
service in the United States navy,
Frank r. Siegel, the officer in charge
nearly tainted.
Reading OF the regulations had no
effect upon the husky one, he was
going to enlist, and surely the matter
of surplus avoirdupois was not serious,
since he was physically tit every other
way. About this latter assertion Siegel
had his doubts, but since Watterson
insisted that he be examined this Of
flee was proceeded with.
To his surprise Siegel found that the
man was physically perfect, and an
effort is now being made to see wheth-
er the weight limits cannot be
stretched a little in order that Wat
terson may have the honor of being
one of Uncle Sans tars. Watterson
thinks that with the advent of $4,000
ton battleships men of his type will
be needed to keep the things from
being underhallasted.
