RICHMOND BLUES ARE BLUE BECAUSE
 SANTORE LEAVES
Popular Member of First Cavalry Squadron Is Dis charged to Continue
 Dental Studies

Anniston, December 1.-(Special.) )-The
 Richmond Blues, as they are popularly
 known, or the First cavalry squadron
 now attached to the 104th ammunition
 train. are today bluer than they e'er have
 been before, a deep ultramarine blue, if
 you please. This is not because they had
 to give up their field day exercises nor
 because loves labor that was put into
 the making of the beautiful camp at the
 remount station has been lost, nor be-
 cause their beloved Maj. E. w. Bowles has left them to join the Fffty-seventh infantry brigade, nor because they are again surrounded by sea of uncertainty
 as to their future status in Uncle Sarn's army.
 The Blues are blue because Joe Sam tore, a bluebfooded Blue from Porto Rica, has taken off the khaki uniform and once more donned civilian attire after an as- sociation of IS months with the popular Richmond organization. Joe got his dis charge from the army Friday afternoon to enter the Kentucky Dental university at Louisville, Ky, where he will com plete his course in dentistry and return to his former company, if possible, with straps on his shoulders.
 If Ella Wheeler Wilcox had the right dope when she said that "the man worth while is the man with 9 smile when ev- erything goes dead wrong," Joe San tore is worth while" for throughout the vicissitudes that have attended the course of the Blues since they left Richmond for the Mexican border, San tore has never lost his habitual smile. Even last March, when the Blues had turned in their equipment, and when Joe had bought his ticket back to Porto Rico and was calmly shooting craps, or playing dominoes or ping pong, or some other indoor pastime when the sergeant passed the word that the Blues would not Joe continued to smile and mur- mured not. He has been smiling ever since. but as he leaves Anniston and his friends among the Blues, there is new aspect to Joe's smile, a smile that seems to be on the borderland of tears 1 IS he grips the hand of his old pals and says goodbye.
 Santore had been in Anniston only a | few days before he knew practically ev- cry man and women that visits the local olubs soda fountains and cafeteria. He Is very high in his praise of Anniston and has made this city famous even in Porto Rica, where he is said to belong to noble family Joe does not exploit his wealth or his family tree, however, but he makes his way on the Bobby

INJURED CHILD IMPROyING
MEN CONVICTED FOR FAILURE TO REGISTER
 MUST SERVE IN ARMY
Under New Ruling They Will Not Be Allowed to Get Off With Jail
 Sentence

Washington, December 1.-Under the new draft rules and regulations, ef- fective December 15, men convicted of failing to register on last June 5 will be dealt with more harshly than un- der the old system. Provost Marshal General Crowder announced today that such men, instead of being given jail sentences as has been done in many cases heretofore, will be so listed by local boards as to insure their call with the first increment summoned after the new rules are put in force.
 Local boards are directed not to send the registration cards of the convicted men to their state adjutant general for serial number assignment, but to place them at the top of the first class liable for call. Thus the men, it was pointed out, will forfeit all chances of the mas ter list rotation, except in cases where physical condition or the terms of the law require exemption or deferred classification.
 Men now under suspended sentence for failing to register also will be listed at the top of the first class, it was announced.

That Miss Bowden will make the best tick ct seller Birmingham has ever had, no one who knows her doubts, for she Is of that type that never was known to quit and in few days it will be as easy for her to route you one way as another, whether it is homegoing for Christmas or going away to spend the holidays with the boy in camp, for she is getting her brain full of rates and railroad maps, schedules and connections. In other words, as she puts it: T want to give the public service, just like the Frisco has ar- ways been able to do and that is what I am going to do before I stop"
 Captain James R. McGregor, tha dean of the local passenger men, as division passenger agent for the Frisco, is being congratulated upon his choice when war took his ticket agent and the genial captain says that he Is congratulating himself, for he has known Miss Bowden so long that he knows she will make good.
