TO FACE
PROBERS

Any Stacker who attempts to
dodge registration for selective
service, or any plotter who at
tempts to block the work of reg
istration in Tacoma Tuesday, will
Immediately have to face a fed
eral grand jury which will start
work In the postoffice building
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The grand jury has been called
by U. 8. Judge Cushman.
Government officers here are
prepared to check up on the reg
istrations, to run down suspected
slackers and haul them before
the grand Jury for investigation,
according to the U. s. marshal's
office.
Every Tacoma citizen is asked
to constitute himself an agent of
the government and to immedi-
ately report any instance of reg
istration lodging that may come
to his notice to the marshaPs
office.
Every man who registers will
be given a card as proof that he
has offered himself for service.
In addition to possible Stacker
cases, the grand jury will inves-
tigate several liquor cases, a
counterfeit case and two postof-
flee robberies.

DUTIES OF DINING ROOM ORDERLY
 DEFINED
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - Some time or other while you are at camp, you are going to be drafted for a months duty as dining room orderly. And woe be unto you if you huff your job. The mess sergeant, that monarch of the mess hall crowned with white cap, will be good to you as long as you are good to your job. But if you funk, o boy!
 So, for your advance information, here is list of your duties:
 Your boss is the mess sergeant. You are held responsible for the cleanli- ness of the dining room, pantry, the dishes and utensils.
 If a plate, spoon. a cup or what soever, is lost or broken, and you can not find it or name the man who is to blame for it, you're the goat. Upon being relieved at the end of your months salary, all loss and breakage unaccounted for is charged out of your pay.
 You have got to be at the mess hall not less than ten minutes before each meal. Then you cut the bread into thin slices and pile it neatly on plates, one of which is provided for each table.
 | During the service of the meal you stay in the bread room and cut bread. handing 1t out to the walters as they call for it. And if you're wise you will stay there and cut bread, noth- ing else. Be mighty careful how you cut it along toward the end of the meal, too, If you cut more than the men can eat and a lot is left over. you will hear from the mes sergeant in no uncertain tone
 After the meal has been served, check up on every mans table. then take all the food left over on the serving table back to the kitchen Whatever bread is left over in slices you pack closely in the bread boy and serve first at the next meal And don't throw away the bread crumbs that accumulate in the bread room ard the pantry. Turn them over to the cooks. They can use them.
 Then you help boss the cook po- lice, clear the tables in the dining room. Next you brush the tables. Then you scrub them good with hot water and soap, rinse them Tn cold water, and dry them. Then you clean the salt cellars, pepper boxes, vinegar cruets, mustard pots and sugar bowls and fill them for the next meal
 After breakfast you place the stools 'n the tables, legs up. Then you sweep and mop the dining room floor, using as little water as possible. for the sake of avoiding sloppiness and carefully dry it.
 After dinner and supper, in addi- ton to the aforementioned things. you sweep the dining room carefully. As 'oon as the floor is swept and scrubbed, you set the tables, put the stools in place and make the din ing room as clean and neat looking as possible. That's the job If you do 1t right you will be commended. If you do it wrong you will be made to do it right
