CHANCEMEN TRAIN
LIKE PUG|L|sTs
TO PASS EXAMS
Civil Service Candidates for
East Orange Force Have
Severe Tests.

E.
With the taking of physical tests pro-
yided by the Civil Service Commission
several East Orange chancemen next
THURSDAY will have complated a
course of training in their second effort
to secure a sufficient percentage that
has been as strenuous as any profess
sional boxer engaged in for a ten-round
match. The chancemen have prepared
at the Orange Y. NJ. C. A, where the
tests will be held.
Some were overweight when they
started, while others did not have suf-
ficient weight, and a few were too small
in height. Discouraged at first, they
finally went to work in earnest, and
nearly every other day they have been
in the gymnasium handling the appa-
ratus.
The course of training included walks
for the men making an effort to reduce
their weight, tossing around medicine
balls, short spurts on the running track.
Ginning the bar, jumping for height
and indoor baseball, along with other
work calculated to cause heavy per-
spiration. The hin man could only take
light exercise with the chestwoights.
and a wir eglass Of olive oil after each
meal was a requirement of a physical
culturist mapped Il for them.
An interesting legal question has
arisen because of the fact hat the
chancemen were not exempted from
taking the civil service examination,
but none carried the question to the
courts to determine whether the com
mission acted legally OF not in taking
the position they did. 1t will prob
ably not be contested.
