To Keep Phone Cord Straight.

A new conrtivance described IN
Scientific American promises to keep
the kinks out of flexible telephone
cords. The device consists of two
small composition parts turning on a
central spindle, all Enclosed in two
brass shells or covers. Between the
two rotating parts are two ball races
that serve both as fractional bearings
and as conducting means. The cord
terminals are easily connected to the
binding screws on each part, and there
is ample room for a strain knot within
each shell. The freedom of the swivel
ing of the two halves eliminates the
snarling of the cord"

Mai. A. S. Frost, recruiting officer Tor
the Memphis district:
"The cavalry, engineers, coast artll'
lery, signal corps and quartermaster
corps of the regular army have already
been brought to war strength.
"Forty-five thousand recruits are
needed at once to complete the new
regiments of infantry and field artll-
lery.
"Twenty-five thousand additional re-
cruits are desired at the earliest prac-
ticable date to fill vacancies in order
that the war strength of 100000 men
may be maintained.
Facilities are in readiness for plac-
ing these 10000 men under proper
training. Any delay in obtaining this
number will necessarily cause the loss
of invaluable time.

department that 10000 single men
between the ages of Is and 40, who
have no dependents and who are not
in professions, business or trades vi
tally necessary to the prosecution OF
the war, be enlisted in the regular
army before June 80, 1917.

registrar of vital statistics, and DR.. 1.
C. Graves, superintendent the coun-
ty board of health, held a conference

the satisfaction of the state health Of
