NO DRUNKARDS WANTED IN
MARINES

Washington, July 31.-Although
this country is involved in the great
est war known to history and re-
cruiting for the First to Fight" is
being conducted tightening fast, the
sterling standards Of the "Soldiers
Of the Sea" must be upheld, it was
announced at Marine Corps Head
quarters today. al
Upon hearing the report that a
local police judge allowed three
men charged with being drunk to
go unpublished provided they enlist
ed in the Marines, Major General
Commandant George Barnett said:
"Drunkards will not be accepted for
enlistment in the Marine Corps. We
have been getting the highest class
of recruits and the enlistment of
those who daily too freely with the
Demon Rum would be a serious re-
upon, the service itself and
upon the men who have already en-
isted."

WHAT TO DO NEXT

Now that every holder of a "rel
ink" number also, it is assumed,
knows his draft number, this is what
happens:
The governor will today announce
the quotas to be summoned in each
district. (From two to three times
as many men as needed will be call
ed, to allow for exemptions.)
Each board posts at its head
quarters called, also mailing a card
to each man; but failure to receive
a card does not excuse the drafted
cardholder from appearing for ex-
animation. Therefore, watch for the
notices.

THE RAILROADS WAR BOARD

To the Public:
The fact confronts US that oul
Transportation Facilities, already
overburdened with business result
ing from the European conflict
MUST NOW meet the GOVERNMENT
demand and transport the Nations
commerce efficiently.
Plants manufacturing cars, loco.
motives, rails and other transporta.
ton necessities are now either book.
ed to capacity, or are modified fol
war purposes.
Prompt and efficient transpora-
ton is the National necessity during
this war.
The Shipping Public and the Rail-
roads are confronted with a condi-
ton which must be met with i'm
mediate action.
Full utilization Of Transportation
facilities is the most pressing prob
lem.
Utilization means full loading and
prompt handling of q
Full utilization is efficiency.
In the United States are over two
and one-!.alf million freight cars.
The average capacity of these
cars is practically FORTY TONS, or
$4,000 pounds.
The average time consumed in
loading and unloading each car each
trip is four days-it must be lessen
ed.
The load put in all cars, including
coal and stone, average ONLY II
TONS, or AZ PER CENT. Of their
average capacity.
The greatest waste is in BOX
CARS.
W. are failing to use 81 per cent.
Of facilities NOW AVAILABLE.
This appalling economic waste,
due mainly to so-called Commercial
conditions" or conveniences Of the
trade, is a tremendous extravaganza
in times Of Peace.
In war it is a crime.

theme of DR. Prosser, who said among
other things:

only hope of salvation now in COMBAT

Now we must fight to retain that

Vocational Training and War.
This is a war Of mechanism, not
men. For every man on the firing line
4ro mechanical eXDertS must be Kept
behind that line. Vocational education
will train those men.
Then vocational education is the
only education shat will meet the so

develop an education that Will Improve

an opportunity to freedom, better

Moines retailers say the price can not
drop any as it is costing that amount
to mine and handle the product.
Des Moines dealers say it costs more
to mine Iowa coalthan the Illinois pro-
duct and therefore the Iowa companies
will be allowed 81 or more per ton at
the mine at a special conference to
be held soon in Washington. AS some Of
the mines in Iowa are now selling their
product for 1926 a ton at, the mine, it
means an increase if the government
allows a great mine price.
There is very little purchasing being
done now dealers say, and they are
fearing situation like list winter when
the supply was nearly exhausted. They
are afraid that users will wait until the
cold weather gets here in hope Of Sc
curing a lower price and then be caught
unprotected.
Mines are now running but part time
as there IS no market for their pro-
duct and the storage places are full.
