JOIN THE ARMY
 AND GROW TALL

When men at the provisional off cers training camps were given the physical examination in the sixth week of their stay, it was discovered that many apparently had grown in height Men whose examination just before they came to the camp revealed } feet 10 inches or so, found they now are , feet 101h, or feet II inches tall. Only the outdoor men. particularly those from the national guard, apparently had failed to add to their height
 But, according to the examining doc tors, the men in most cases really had not grown taller. Those whose height seemed greater had all come from se- dentary work-they were office men or students.
 You've just pulled up to your natur- al height, is all,' one doctor said. You see. the life you men lived, sitting at desks all day, taking little or no exer- cise that stretched you, caused a con traction of your muscles. You weren't as tall as you were made to be. That's been corrected out here"
 To the setting up exercises each day, with their play upon almost every muscle in the body, and to the continuous drill in which the men have to walk erect, are due the credit Tor the approaching of the rockies bodies. And moreover, it has given them bodies of iron. They're about all down to fighting weight. or up, as

THURLO
 ESCAP PES FROM
 CUSTODY AGAIN

With the filing of petition for writ of habeas corpus by Joseph s. Jenckes yesterday, directed against the sheriff for Lawrence Fogle and Hubert Edwards on the ground of illegal inn prisonment for period of 3S days 1t became known that Dewey Thurlo, ar rested with Fogle and Edwards on charge of theft of an automobile, had escaped from the county iail, it was learned, had made a clear getaway several days ago. The manner of es- cape could not be learned at the sher-
 ifs office.
 Thurlo it is claimed, stole a car be- longing to his brother in law, s. E. Bennett, who, it is understood, refused to prosecute him. The complaint was sworn to by Deputy Sheriff Nafzinger.
 In the meantime, the boys who it
 is declared were merely invited to 20 for a ride with Thurlo, have been confined in the county jail No com plaint was sworn to against them nor was a warrant issued for their arrest until the habeas corpus proceedings we're instituted by MT. Jenckes.
 Immediately after that action was taken County Attorney l.. M. Laney filed a complaint and had the boys ar rainged before Justice Wheeler Foele being but l6, will be given q juvenile hearing, while the preliminary exami- nation of his companions will be held pn Saturday.
 The most material figure in the al 'eged automobile theft has disappeared
 ust as on one former occasion. It will be recalled that Thurio, after an nn- fortunate check episode. was given an opportunity to join the navy He ran away and was captured in connection with the larceny matter now in the 'ourts. He was taken before Justice
 De Souza at the time of his capture tnd held to answer on the bogus check charge. That was the latter part of tune and Fogie and Edwards were placed behind the bars as accomplices the automobile incident.
 The officers presumed that no oth- ar steps were necessary" was the ev- planation of the act of jailing the boys without a charge against them for more than a month
 The mothers of both boys were in
 he court yesterday to try to learn 'omething of court procedure. which
 'affled them completely They only new that their sons were innocent and nat they had been invited by Dewey rhurlo to go out with him" They pro- ested against the lads remainine in all and gave their version of the af- n,r to the attorneys and the sherifrs l office. Ill ,

 SAY9ATTORNEY.

In the opinion of Acting Attorney James F. Nelson. the contention Of Ad- jutant General Charles w. Harris that the Phoenix Police Reserves are vio- letting state and federal laws when they parade with arms or when they appear in the uniform prescribed for them. IS, not well founded. That the mayor has the authority to have placed Tn commission as many policemen as, m ils oplnlon the needs of the city re- qulfe, that these special or reserve DO hcemen may be armed as seems neces- sary and that they may be uniformed appropflatelY. IS the expressed belief of Attorney Nelson
 All this and much more was set forth in an opinion handed to the city commissioners and read Wednesday morning before that body meeting in regular weekly session. The opinion came as an answer to the letter from the ad1utant general to the governor and in turn forwarded by the goyer- nor to Mayor Peter Corpstein as printed exclusively in The Arizona Re publican Wednesday morning.
 The opinion follows in full:

 GO TO TRENCH

According to a communication re- ceiVed by United States Attorney Thomas A. Flynn from Attorney Gen eral R. W. Gregory of Washington, D.. C., war is to be declared on "slackers' a rigid search is to be made for young men coming under this status.
 According to the letter a unique way has been devised in which the men who failed to heed the registration call will be numbered as soon as they are ap- prehended
 The "slackers" will be given the num- bers of the men who were registered and selected in the draft but excused for physical disability or other lawful reason. How ever if there are no blank numbers the next serial number fol- lowing the highest number coming un- der the jurisdiction of the board will then be assigned.
 Although the letter states that it is not expected that a house to house canvass be made for "slackers,' p the attorney general instructs that imme- diate action be taken of cases coming to the attention of local boards, unless the delay was due t0 reasons beyond the control of the individual such as being at sea on the date of registration.

HARWELL. PARK
SAILS TO FRANCE
MEMBER OF COAST GUARD VOL
UNTEERS FOR FOREIGN
SERVICE.

Harwell Park, of Culleoka. who at
the outbreak of the war enlisted in
the Coast Guard service of the I'm.
tied States, has sailed for France
with a contingent of the Guard to do
service on the coast of that country.
Recently Mr.. Park with number OF
other members of the service were
assembled and addressed by their Off
GER who told them that they had en-
listed in a service whose members
were not obligated by their oath to
leave the territory of the United
States, but that members were badly
needed on the coast of France and
asked for volunteers. Every member
including Mr.. Park promptly volun'
teered and those fortunate enough to
be selected are rejoicing over their
good fortune, although the hazards OF
the service, always great, are natural
" increased on the war ridden coast
of France.
Mr.. Park is a son of Mr.. and Mrs
z. ]. Park, of Culleoka, a splendid
young man, graduate of Maryville
College and at the outbreak of the
war was a student for the ministry
of the Presbyterian church. He is

aid then called Secretary Hopkins,
stated that Mr.. Burns had agreed to
call the election, but that it was ui;E
able to reach Mr.. Allen and asked for
further instructions. Mr. Hopkins
thereupon directed that the notice
subsequently published be published.
1t is understood that following the
publication of the notice in Saturdays
paper a warm protest was sent to
Chairman Allen against the election,
although on what ground or by whom
is not known. Whether the protest
ants were residents of the Eighth dis
trict or not, is not known In any
event, Chairman Allen becoming con-
WINGED that an election at this time
80 that the nember-elect could quail
fy for the next term of the county
court, might be construed as snap
action and subject the board to crit
icism, declined to stand for the call.
Mr.. Burns took the same position,
declaring that he would not have con-
sented to the election being called
had be known or suspected that Mr..
Allen was not agreeable thereto.
Thus the special election is up in
the air" and it looks like the people
of the Eighth district will have to con-
tinue with just one-half of the consti-
tutional representation in the county
court for a long time to come.

There will probably be no election
in the Eighth district on October T.
as called on Saturday by a majority
Of the county election commissioners.
Whether or not an election can De
recalled or rescinded after being reg
ularly called may be legal question
that might be decided either way, but
no one being sufficiently interested to
carry the matter to the court there
will doubtless be no election.
1t came about this way. On yester-
day Chairman Allen of the election
board. declared that he had never
agreed to calling the election and that
Mr.. Burns. who had agreed on Satur-
day that the election might be called,
had decided that since Mr.. Allen had
not agreed the election should not be
called.

board and who has probably had more
experience with election boards than
any member called The Herald and
stated that citizens of the Eight dis

uniform policy of the board for years
to hold special elections. several hav

requested that The Herald publish a
notice of the election for October 4
He stated that he had been unable tc

Thereupon The Herald called Mr.

was nothing for the board to do bu
