Young Man Anxious
To Enlist Takes on
Four Pounds in Day

So anxious was one young man to
join the National Guard that he burst
into tears Wednesday afternoon at the
court house when the examining
board turned him down for being un-
der weight.
He showed up again, smiling, how
ever.
Examine me again." he begged.
Just to humor him, they stripped him
and told him to get on the scales.
Then it was the turn of the officers
to become amazed. The young man
was exactly four younds over weight.
How did you do it?' they asked.
"Oh, your scales we're wrong yes
terday,' he suggested, acting mystic
rious. The examining physician, how
ever, was skeptical. Ny
He prodded finger into the young
mans stomach, and the young man
grunted. r.
"Ahal Thought sol You've been
doing nothing but drink water for the
last ten hours"
The young fellow admitted his guilt
and was compelled to step out of the
line. Tears glistened in his eyes. He
has two big brothers in the guard and
he wanted to be with them.
Gee, it's tough to be a shrimpp'
he said, gulping hard. He walked
quickly away, to avoid his fearful
demonstration of the day before.
