tive and Unconstitutional.

Charge That Law Was Juggled
To Please the Ladies.

The Kansas white slavery law may
be a mere scrap of paper.
Irregularities in the passage of the
bill were today alleged to make the
act unconstitutional and imperative.
Mo- than 100 men and women have
been prosecuted under the act since
its passage III 1919. More than fifty
men have drawn heavy fines or i'm
prisonment for violations of some
phase of the law. More than a score
of men have been sent to the peniten-
tiary for terms of one to five years for
violating a law which may be declared
invalid.
Claims concerning the irregularity
of the law were made in Topeka today
by l. NJ. Mahin, prominent Smith Cen
ter lawyer and state senator at the
acted. Mahin declared the law was
"juggled" in order to please the ladies'
lobby. After the original bill had
been passed with safeguards against
extortion, blackmail and malicious
prosecutions, the Democrat legisla-
ture is alleged by Mahin to have sent
an imaginary bill to a conference COM
mittee and adopted a measure which
said and did things entirely different
ly from the original plans of the law
makers. threat OF suit TO test the
history and validity of the law recent
ly resulted in dismissal of a white

Make Technicalities on Weight and
Height More Elastic for Army

Washington, Aug. Revised
regulations to govern physical
examination of men registered under
the selective draft were issted today
by Surgeon General Gorgas of the
army and communicated to the COVER
nors of the states for information of
local boards. The changes deal for
the most part with questions of pro-
portionate weight and height but may
result in the recall of some men re-
jected heretofore on physical grounds.
The new regulations grant an an
derweight allowance of from 5 to S
pounds for men between 81 and e.
inches in height; seven to eight pounds
between 81 and 69 inches; nine to ten
pounds between 20 and ~ inches and
twelve pounds above rs inches. The
effect of the Instructions is to reduce
the normal weight requirements for
tall men. An additional half inch al
lowance on chest expansion also is al
lowed to men above 6S inches in
height where there is no sign of dis
ease.
Men with poor teeth also will be
more closely scrutinized hereafter.
Where dental work will restore the
teeth they will either be enrolled and
the work done by army dentists or al
lowed time to have the work done for
themselves A punctured ear drum is
found to be no barrier provided the
hearing is half normal Notifications
are made also in the sight require
ments which will allow physicians to
accept men despite some defects of
vision.
