 One of the amusing incidents that has occurred since the company was called outmwa that of recruit who had been Projected because of being under weight but reappeared in a short time prepared to take the exam inatfon a second time and pass it. On being examined the first time the man was one pound and half short Of the required weight and was of course rejected by Lieutenant Heating, who was carrying on the examinations The second time the recruit appeared he stepped onto the scales and he was one-haH pound over weight. When asked to explain his feat he stated that he went out and drank all the water he could stand which amounted to nearly one gallon. It is believed this was the first time this stunt has been done in this city although it is being done other places where the applicants are under weight.
 It will be very necessary to re- cruit Company L. up to the prescribed one hundred before anything definite can be done.

Gladys BrockweII at the Lamara

Strong dramatic action features the new William Ford picture which opened yesterday for a three days run at the Lamara theater. The production is ITO Honor and Obey" a powerful problem drama which gives Gladys Brockwell, it's star, the opportunity to show all her wonderful histronic power
 Miss Brockwell takes the part of Q woman who makes an unhappy mar riage. To save her husband from fi- nancial ruin, she unwttingly places herself in false light. He, only wait ing for an opportunity to leave her. gets a divorce, and marries a flirtatious shop girl. His former wife goes to fac tory drudgery. She is rescued by a man who was a suitor before her marriage.
 Bert Grassby and Charles Clark take the roles of husbands number one and two. Jewel Carmen, formerly leading woman for William Farnum. has the part of the salesgirl. And Willard Louis contributes enormous fun to the occasion. Joseph Swickard, who played Dr. Manette in "A Tale of Two Cities" completes what practically amounts to an all-star cast.
